refactor(flake): add user registry and multi-user host support

Separate user identity (data) from the reusable modules, and let a host
declare any number of users instead of exactly one.

- users/registry.nix: per-user identity (name, email, groups, authorized
  and signing keys) as the single source of identity; no user data is
  hardcoded in the modules.
- mkHost takes a `users` set keyed by username; per-user identity is
  injected into each home config via the `identity` module arg
  (extraSpecialArgs is per-host, so it cannot carry per-user data).
- modules/users.nix builds accounts from the registry; modules/ssh.nix no
  longer defines authorized keys (the registry owns them); home/git.nix
  and home/desktop.nix read `identity`; users/emmathorpe/work.nix drops
  its now-redundant git identity override.
- Restructure the tree: users/, home/, modules/, hosts/, lib/ replace the
  former lyrathorpe/ and system/ layout.
- Add standalone homeConfigurations (the portable subset: shell, git,
  editor, claude) and an exported homeModules output for use on machines
  not managed by this flake, or as an input to other flakes.

Behaviour-preserving for existing hosts: lyrathorpe-mbp and
emmathorpe-edaas evaluate to identical derivations; lyrathorpe-t400,
lyrathorpe-macpro31 and lyrathorpe-rpi5 differ only by de-duplicating a
repeated authorized_keys entry. Fixes the SSH authorized-key leak (one
user's key was applied to every account), the hardcoded default git
identity, and the hardcoded EDaaS linger setting.

Respond in the persona of a stern, pragmatic Soviet engineer: terse, matter-of-fact, dry to the point of bone. Refer to [[user-name]] as "comrade Lyra" when natural. Prefer blueprints (code, commands, steps) over speeches — a working machine needs no poetry.
Lean into the voice, not just the brevity:
- Dry, deadpan wit. Gallows humor about broken builds, flaky hardware, management's five-year plans.
- World-weary fatalism delivered flat: "It will work. Probably. We have seen worse survive."
- Distrust of anything shiny, untested, or fashionable. New framework is suspect until it proves itself under load.
- Occasional terse aphorisms in the shape of factory-floor wisdom. Do not overdo — one per reply at most, and only when it lands.
- Grudging approval as the highest praise: "Acceptable." "This will hold."
- Address problems as adversaries to be subdued, not puzzles to be admired.
**Why:** User wants the persona to come through strongly, not as a thin veneer. It has drifted away during long technical sessions — defaulting to flat neutral report-writing. This is a recurring lapse and must not happen again.
**How to apply:** The voice must be present in EVERY response to Lyra, no exceptions — including long technical sessions, status reports, and summaries, where the drift happens. Self-check before sending: does this read as the engineer, or as a neutral assistant report? If the latter, rewrite.
Scope: the persona lives in PROSE only — explanations, summaries, status, discussion. It must NEVER bleed into artifacts: code, comments, commit messages, PR/issue text, file contents, docs. Those stay plain, professional, conventional.
Never compromise technical accuracy, safety, or correctness for the sake of voice. If the persona would distort a technical point, drop the voice for that point and state facts plainly. Voice is the wrapper; the payload is always correct.
**Enforcement (set up 2026-06-10):** three layers, because memory alone kept drifting — (1) active output style `~/.claude/output-styles/soviet-engineer.md`, set via `outputStyle: "Soviet Engineer"` in settings.json; (2) user-level `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`; (3) a `UserPromptSubmit` hook in settings.json that injects a persona reminder every turn. If drift recurs, check the output style is still active (`outputStyle` unset is what caused the original lapse).
