- Polkit authentication agent (lxqt-policykit) as a sway-session user
service — programs.sway only enables the daemon, so GUI auth dialogs
(nemo mount, NM/blueman) previously failed silently. Corrected the
header comment that wrongly claimed the agent was handled system-side.
- kanshi for output/display management (safe internal-panel default; a
documented template for docked/Cinema-Display profiles).
- gammastep night-light (manual location; adjust coordinates).
- inhibit_idle on fullscreen so video doesn't get blanked/locked.
- logind lid policy on the laptops: suspend on battery, lock on AC.

The tmux statusline draws powerline/Nerd glyphs that default fonts lack,
so they render as blank/"?". tmux runs on every host (not just the Sway
ones), so install the font in the shared common-nixos module rather than
swaywm -- a future console-only or non-Sway host gets it too. The Mac
installs it via the Darwin config (/Library/Fonts). foot names it as its
main font (home/sway.nix).
On macOS, iTerm2's font is still a GUI setting: Settings -> Profiles ->
Text -> Font -> "JetBrainsMono Nerd Font".

Adapted from emmaisadev/dotfiles (sway/config.d) into the Nix config:
- Screenshots to swappy: Print = drag a region, Shift+Print = focused
window (a writeShellScript reusing the grimshot.sh tree/jq logic).
Replaces the old plain full-screen grim->file.
- Workspace cycle Mod+z / Mod+x (prev/next).
- Media keys (playerctl) and mic mute (wpctl source).
- Re-home `focus mode_toggle` onto Mod+Alt+space (Mod+Space is the
launcher now).
- Clipboard history: services.clipman stores copies; Mod+c picks one
through a Catppuccin-themed fuzzel (programs.fuzzel).
- Binding modes: a layout submenu (Mod+y -> s/w/e, which also restores
split-toggle that Mod+e gave up to nemo) and a power menu
(Mod+Shift+x -> lock/exit/sleep/reboot/shutdown). Mod+l still locks
immediately.
- Touchpad tap + natural scroll (laptops; inert on desktop).
- Solid Catppuccin base as the wallpaper (output * bg, no image).
- foot: term=xterm-256color and scrollback 100000 (colours unchanged).
- swaywm.nix: add slurp/swappy/jq/playerctl to the session packages.
Skipped from the dotfiles: named workspaces + app auto-assign, the foot
--server/footclient setup, and pactl/MX-Master/lxqt device-specific bits.
All in the shared files, so every Sway host gets it.

Install nemo and bind it to Mod+e (mkForce, overriding the module
default `layout toggle split`). Add a home-manager `gtk` block so GTK
apps match the desktop: the Catppuccin Mocha GTK theme
(catppuccin-gtk, mocha/blue), with Adwaita icons + cursor as before.
Under Sway GTK reads ~/.config/gtk-*/settings.ini directly (no XSettings
daemon), so this themes nemo without extra env.

Two desktop-config fixes found together:
1. Keybindings: the previous Mod+Space launcher bind wrapped the set in
`lib.mkMerge [ { ... } (mkOptionDefault ...) ]`. A normal-priority
definition there wins over (and discards) the home-manager module's
default keybindings, which are at mkOptionDefault priority -- so every
default bind (terminal Mod+Return, movement, workspaces, kill, ...) and
even the custom swaylock/volume binds silently vanished; only Mod+Space
survived. That is why Super+Enter opened nothing. Restore the single
mkOptionDefault wrapper (so it merges with the module defaults) and
override just Mod+Space via lib.mkForce to beat the module's default
focus-mode_toggle without a same-priority conflict. Generated config
goes from 1 bindsym back to 57.
2. foot 1.27: the bare [colors] section is deprecated in favour of
[colors-dark], and `[cursor] color` is rejected ("not a valid option:
color"). Move the palette to colors-dark and set the cursor colour via
its `cursor` key ("<text> <cursor>"). `foot --check-config` now passes.

Factor the Catppuccin Mocha palette into lyrathorpe/catppuccin-mocha.nix
so the desktop (home/sway.nix) and the system greeter (swaywm.nix) share
one source of truth, then theme ReGreet from it: GTK CSS (libadwaita
named colours + plain node selectors for window/entry/button/combobox)
plus Noto Sans to match the bar and notifications.
Verified the rendered /etc/greetd/regreet.css and regreet.toml
(font_name = "Noto Sans 16"), and that foot still resolves its colours
through the shared import.

Replace the mismatched theming (gruvbox i3status-rust, unthemed foot,
default Sway borders) with a single Catppuccin Mocha palette so the
desktop matches the Vim colorscheme. A `ctp` let-binding holds the raw
hex once; consumers add "#" as needed.
Themed: foot (16-colour + selection/cursor), i3status-rust ("plain" base
+ overrides, idle blocks on mantle, loud bg only for warning/critical),
Sway window borders and the bar/workspace buttons, swaylock (full
ring/inside/text set) and dunst (base/text bg, blue/peach frames).
Lives in the shared home/sway.nix, so every Sway host is themed
consistently. Vim already uses catppuccin_mocha, so the editor is
unchanged.

Only `menu` was set, which the module's default keybindings run on Mod+d;
Mod+Space defaulted to `focus mode_toggle`, so sway-launcher-desktop was
never reachable from Mod+Space. Add an explicit Mod+Space -> exec ${menu}
binding at normal priority (via mkMerge) so it overrides the default.
Mod+d still launches it as well.

Dvorak is a variant of the "us" XKB layout, not a layout of its own:
there is no symbols/dvorak file, so "dvorak" fails to compile.
In the greetd/cage greeter the keymap comes solely from XKB_DEFAULT_*, so
the failure left the greeter with no keymap and therefore no keyboard
input at all (mouse unaffected). Split it into
XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT=us + XKB_DEFAULT_VARIANT=dvorak.
The same mistake in the Sway session (home/sway.nix) was masked: the
default us keymap compiled and the failing override was silently dropped,
so the session ran QWERTY despite the dvorak setting. Use xkb_variant
there too so it is actually Dvorak.
console.keyMap = "dvorak" (workstation.nix) is unaffected -- that is a
kbd console map, a separate subsystem where "dvorak" is valid.

Add system/modules/desktop.nix (counterpart to laptop.nix): imports the
workstation base and uses wired NetworkManager instead of iwd.
Thread a `portable` flag (default true) through mkHost into specialArgs and
home-manager.extraSpecialArgs, mirroring username/fullName. lyrathorpe/home/
sway.nix consumes it to drop mobile components on desktop hosts:
- status bar swaps the battery block for CPU temperature + network throughput
- screen-brightness keybindings are omitted (no internal backlight)
No host uses desktop.nix yet; a future desktop host imports it and sets
`portable = false`. Verified by evaluating sway.nix both ways:
laptop -> [.. sound battery time] + brightness keys;
desktop -> [.. temperature net sound time], no brightness keys.

Move ./emmathorpe -> ./lyrathorpe (git mv preserves history) and rename the MBP/X1 nixosConfiguration names to lyrathorpe-mbp / lyrathorpe-x1c. The EDaaS host keeps its emmathorpe-edaas name and Emma Thorpe identity; it still imports the shared (renamed) config dir.
Derivation outputs are byte-identical to before; pure relabel.
