Emma ThorpeandClaude Opus 5 0e10083ea4 feat(console): add the standalone Dolphin emulator 
The libretro dolphin core lags upstream on compatibility in the same way
LRPS2 does, so install pkgs.dolphin-emu next to pkgs.pcsx2 and run
GameCube and Wii titles through it. The cores stay for the sake of a
single frontend and a shared save/state layout.

Emma ThorpeandClaude Opus 5 f35cc58bbb fix(console): make a failed Steam session diagnosable, add shortcut tooling 
Autologin into the gamescope Steam session does not take on the real
hardware; the television lands on ReGreet instead. The config side is
correct -- initial_session is present in the generated greetd.toml and
services.greetd.restart evaluates to false -- so the likely cause is the
session starting and then dying, which greetd answers by falling through
to default_session.

greetd hands a session the VT for its standard streams, so whatever the
session prints on its way down is erased as soon as the greeter repaints.
Run the launcher under systemd-cat so the reason survives in the journal
under the steam-session identifier.

Steam's non-Steam-game Browse dialog and its library-folder picker both
go through the XDG portal FileChooser interface and do not open here
(ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#9447, #10415). Add steamtinkerlaunch,
which writes shortcuts.vdf without the dialog, and document
library_folder_add as the equivalent route for the library folder.

Docs also catch up with the host's actual state: hardware-configuration
.nix is a real scan now, standalone pcsx2 is installed, and the untested
claims become the list of open problems.

Emma ThorpeandClaude Opus 5 39434b3929 feat(hosts): add lyrathorpe-console, a living-room games machine
CI / flake (push) Skipped
CI / flake (pull_request) Successful in 7m46s
Details 
New x86_64 host for a 4th-gen Core i7 (Haswell) with a GTX 1070 8 GB,
wired to a television and driven with a Bluetooth controller.

Session: greetd gets an initial_session, so the machine autologins into
the gamescope Steam session at boot with no greeter and no keyboard.
Quitting Steam falls back to greetd's default_session (ReGreet), where
the ordinary Sway session is available for keyboard-and-mouse work.

Graphics: the GTX 1070 is Pascal, so it needs driver branch 580
(nvidiaPackages.legacy_580) like the Mac Pro's Quadro P400 -- the
nixpkgs default (production, 595.x) dropped Pascal support.

Games: RetroArch built through retroarch-bare.wrapper with 17 cores
covering NES through PS2, GameCube and Wii; Clone Hero; and Steam with
Proton-GE and protontricks. RetroArch's menu toggle is bound to L3+R3,
without which there is no way to exit a running core on a machine with
no keyboard.

Proton prerequisites beyond what programs.steam already arranges: the
esync file-descriptor hard limit is raised from systemd's default
524288 to 1048576 (soft limit untouched), and Proton-GE is wired in via
extraCompatPackages. vm.max_map_count already defaults high enough in
nixpkgs and needs no override.

Content lives in a shared /srv/games tree created by systemd.tmpfiles,
laid out one directory per system under roms/ using the libretro/ES-DE
naming convention, plus bios/, saves/, states/, a Steam library folder
and Clone Hero's songs. RetroArch is pointed at it declaratively.

hardware-configuration.nix is a placeholder, not a hardware scan: the
machine is not installed yet. It assumes partition labels `nixos` and
`BOOT` and must be replaced with nixos-generate-config output.
