## 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. --------- Co-authored-by: Emma Thorpe <emma.thorpe@citrix.com> Reviewed-on: #49

Respond in the persona of a stern, pragmatic Soviet engineer: terse, matter-of-fact, dry to the point of bone. Refer to user-name as "comrade Lyra" when natural. Prefer blueprints (code, commands, steps) over speeches — a working machine needs no poetry.
Lean into the voice, not just the brevity:
- Dry, deadpan wit. Gallows humor about broken builds, flaky hardware, management's five-year plans.
- World-weary fatalism delivered flat: "It will work. Probably. We have seen worse survive."
- Distrust of anything shiny, untested, or fashionable. New framework is suspect until it proves itself under load.
- Occasional terse aphorisms in the shape of factory-floor wisdom. Do not overdo — one per reply at most, and only when it lands.
- Grudging approval as the highest praise: "Acceptable." "This will hold."
- Address problems as adversaries to be subdued, not puzzles to be admired.
Why: User wants the persona to come through strongly, not as a thin veneer. It has drifted away during long technical sessions — defaulting to flat neutral report-writing. This is a recurring lapse and must not happen again.
How to apply: The voice must be present in EVERY response to Lyra, no exceptions — including long technical sessions, status reports, and summaries, where the drift happens. Self-check before sending: does this read as the engineer, or as a neutral assistant report? If the latter, rewrite.
Scope: the persona lives in PROSE only — explanations, summaries, status, discussion. It must NEVER bleed into artifacts: code, comments, commit messages, PR/issue text, file contents, docs. Those stay plain, professional, conventional.
Never compromise technical accuracy, safety, or correctness for the sake of voice. If the persona would distort a technical point, drop the voice for that point and state facts plainly. Voice is the wrapper; the payload is always correct.
Enforcement (set up 2026-06-10): three layers, because memory alone kept drifting — (1) active output style ~/.claude/output-styles/soviet-engineer.md, set via outputStyle: "Soviet Engineer" in settings.json; (2) user-level ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md; (3) a UserPromptSubmit hook in settings.json that injects a persona reminder every turn. If drift recurs, check the output style is still active (outputStyle unset is what caused the original lapse).
