refactor(flake): user registry, multi-user hosts, and portable home outputs (#49)
CI / flake (push) Successful in 3m26s

## Summary

Separates user identity (data) from the reusable Nix modules and lets a host declare any number of users, replacing the previous one-user-per-host structure. Also restructures the tree and exposes the home config for use off these hosts.

## Changes

- **User registry** (`users/registry.nix`): per-user identity (name, email, groups, authorized + signing keys) as the single source of truth; no user data hardcoded in modules.
- **Multi-user `mkHost`**: a host declares a `users` set keyed by username; per-user identity is injected into each home config via the `identity` module arg.
- **Restructured layout**: `users/`, `home/`, `modules/`, `hosts/`, `lib/` replace the former `lyrathorpe/` and `system/` trees.
- **Portable outputs**: standalone `homeConfigurations."<user>@<system>"` (the portable subset — shell, git, editor, claude) plus an exported `homeModules` for use on machines not managed by this flake, or as an input to other flakes.
- Docs (`README.md`, `home/README.md`) and `.gitignore` updated for the new paths.

## Fixes

- Closes #46 — shared user module authorized one user's SSH key for every account.
- Closes #47 — git committer identity hardcoded as defaults instead of per-user.
- Closes #48 — EDaaS systemd linger hardcoded to a literal username.

## Verification

- `nix flake check` passes: treefmt, deadnix, statix, pre-commit, and evaluation of all NixOS hosts + Darwin + homeConfigurations.
- Derivation-path comparison vs `main`: `lyrathorpe-mbp` and `emmathorpe-edaas` are byte-identical; `lyrathorpe-t400`, `lyrathorpe-macpro31` and `lyrathorpe-rpi5` differ only by de-duplicating a repeated `authorized_keys` entry (confirmed with nix-diff — no other change).
- Standalone `homeConfigurations."lyrathorpe@x86_64-linux".activationPackage` builds.

## Notes

- `emmathorpe` has no personal authorized key yet (it previously inherited Lyra's key via the bug in #46); the registry entry is intentionally empty — add a real key if SSH login as `emmathorpe` is wanted (moot on the WSL host).
- A two-repo (public dotfiles / private systems) split is deferred by design; this internal restructure is the prerequisite for it.

# Mac Pro 3,1 (Early 2008) — install notes
Flake host: `lyrathorpe-macpro31`. Desktop (`portable = false`, imports
`../../modules/desktop.nix`). Files: `configuration.nix`,
`hardware-configuration.nix`.
## Hardware configuration
`hardware-configuration.nix` here is the real config generated by
`nixos-generate-config` on the machine. Root is an **LVM** logical volume
(`/dev/mapper/MacPro-Root`, ext4); the ESP (vfat) and swap are referenced by
UUID. The initrd carries `dm-snapshot` for the LVM root. Regenerate and commit
if the disk layout changes.
## Bootloader
The Mac Pro 3,1 has **64-bit EFI**, so it uses **systemd-boot** (no GRUB/CSM
shim). `canTouchEfiVariables = false` because Apple's firmware does not reliably
accept `efibootmgr` NVRAM writes.
Apple-EFI quirk: if the firmware boot picker does not show NixOS after install,
either
- uncomment `boot.loader.efi.efiInstallAsRemovable = true;` in
`configuration.nix` (installs the fallback `\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI`), and/or
- "bless" the ESP from macOS.
Partition the disk GPT with an ESP (vfat).
## Graphics
The stock card varies between units — **ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT** or **NVIDIA
GeForce 8800 GT**. No proprietary driver is hardcoded; Sway relies on in-tree KMS:
- ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT → `radeon` (or `amdgpu`) KMS
- NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT → `nouveau` KMS
These come up automatically. If a card needs forcing, set
`services.xserver.videoDrivers` and/or add the module to
`boot.initrd.kernelModules` for early KMS (see the comment in
`configuration.nix`).
## Networking
Wired Ethernet via NetworkManager (from `desktop.nix`) — the Mac Pro has two
gigabit ports.
## Login
Graphical login via a Wayland greeter — `greetd` running ReGreet inside the
`cage` kiosk compositor — configured centrally in `lyrathorpe/swaywm.nix` for
every Sway host (gated on `features.swayDesktop.enable`). The greeter is forced
to the Dvorak layout to match the console and Sway session. Set the user
password (`passwd lyrathorpe`) after install, or the greeter cannot
authenticate. Requires working KMS (radeon/nouveau — see Graphics).
## Apply
```sh
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#lyrathorpe-macpro31
```
