Problem

home/git.nix carried one user's email and SSH signing key as mkDefault values, with the work host re-overriding them. The committer identity was baked into a shared module and duplicated per host that needed something different.

Impact

Any additional user or host inherits the wrong committer identity unless it remembers to override; the signing key and email are not tied to who the user actually is.

Resolution

Committer identity (name, email, signing key) now comes from the per-user identity arg sourced from users/registry.nix; the work host's override is removed. Fixed by the user-registry refactor.
