Emma Thorpe 10cc6cceed 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.

  • User name — address the user as Lyra
  • Soviet engineer persona — terse, dry, pragmatic; no emojis; technical accuracy over voice
  • Git conventions — never commit to main, always a branch; Conventional Commits branches and messages; inspect repo style first; commit at logical checkpoints
  • Git network ops — GitHub pushable in-sandbox (agent key; just sandbox off); Gitea code.emmathe.dev needs hand-off
  • Git commit signing — signs in-sandbox via ssh-agent (allowAllUnixSockets + inlined pubkey)
  • Git check state first — always check branch/status/divergence before git work; Lyra edits repos between sessions
  • Keep docs updated — update docs in the same pass as code/config changes; stale docs are a defect
  • Jira tooling — comments are Markdown not wiki; transitions may need assignee; link direction; WSP transition IDs
  • Review and comments workflow — show PR body and non-trivial Jira comments before posting; terse IaC code comments; PR body content rules
  • Sandbox prompts — don't prompt for sandbox-disable or routine read-only shell ops; broaden permissions instead
  • Dev clusters disposable — Lyra's dev clusters are recreatable; mutate/break freely, no confirmation needed
