Start Zen headless for 3s at login to prime the page cache and shared

Ghostty exits cleanly when the last window closes, so on-failure
never triggers a restart. Switch to Restart=always with a 1s delay
so the headless instance respawns and stays warm.

Start Ghostty headless and pre-warm Nemo at login so both launch
faster on the aging Haswell MacBook Air.

Add a stylix-stable input pinned to release-25.11 so the media server
gets Stylix theming without pulling in unstable nixpkgs. btop is now
managed by Home Manager on all hosts with Stylix auto-theming.
Desktop-only config (Zen/Vesktop CSS, GTK icons) is guarded behind
an isDesktop check in stylix.nix.

VSCodium (with its nix-ld/LD_LIBRARY_PATH wrapper for native extension
addons) has been removed from home-manager. nix-ld is no longer needed
on Gaming or Macbook without it.

pkgs.writeText derivations (used by HM for config files) carry
preferLocalBuild = true, which the remote build hook declines, and
allowSubstitutes = false, which prevents cache hits. With max-jobs = 0
these can never be realised, causing nixos-rebuild to fail.
Setting max-jobs = 1 lets these millisecond-duration text-file writes
run locally with no gaming impact. All real compilation still goes to
the media server via the distributed build configuration.

max-jobs = 0 sends every build to nordhammer.it instead of compiling
locally, so nixos updates never compete with games for resources.
builders-use-substitutes lets the server pull from binary caches directly.

Switch Gaming and Macbook to home-manager unstable which has
configType = "lua" support. Converts the full Hyprland config from
deprecated hyprlang to native Lua:
- flake: add home-manager unstable input for Gaming/Macbook
- hyprland.nix: configType = "lua", settings.config for static sections,
extraConfig for env/startup/animations/binds/window-rules
- hosts: monitor config updated to hl.monitor({}) table format
Eliminates the windowrulev2 deprecation banner.

wob (Wayland OSD Bar) runs as a systemd user service listening on a FIFO.
Keyboard brightness keybindings now pipe the new brightness percentage to
the FIFO after each adjustment, showing a progress bar overlay.

- Add XF86KbdBrightnessUp/Down keybindings (Macbook-only) using swayosd
for consistent OSD behaviour with screen brightness and volume
- Enable hardware.acpilight for udev rules allowing video group to write
to /sys/class/leds/ (keyboard backlight)
- Add fred to the video group so brightnessctl/swayosd can write backlight values

The M2000's legacy_535 driver caps CUDA support at 12.2; nixpkgs'
default ollama-cuda targets 12.8 (requires driver ≥570), causing
the runner to crash immediately. Override to CUDA 12.2 with sm_52
arch target to match Maxwell GM206 compute capability.
Also open port 11434 on the mediaserver firewall for remote ollama
access from other LAN hosts.

Stylix's vscode target injects workbench.colorCustomizations via the
HM programs.vscode module — it can't reach a system-package install.
Move vscodium to programs.vscode with mutableExtensionsDir = true so
GUI-installed extensions stay put, and preserve the six user settings
that aren't colour-related.

networking.enableIPv6 = false only sets the system sysctl; NetworkManager
keeps re-enabling disable_ipv6=0 per-interface because connection
defaults to ipv6.method = auto. The "?" icon comes back because NM's
v6 connectivity probe races over a SLAAC ULA with no real upstream.
Forces ipv6.method = disabled in NetworkManager's connection defaults
and stops the kernel from accepting router advertisements, so v6 never
gets brought up on any new or existing connection.

The 25.11 channel renamed proton-vpn to protonvpn-gui; Macbook was
patched in an earlier commit but Gaming wasn't, breaking the build.
zramSwap goes back into common.nix as the cheap OOM-during-uncached-build
safety net — even on stable, --refresh against a freshly-bumped lock can
trigger local builds the box has no swap to absorb.

NVIDIA 535's kernel module won't compile against kernel 7.x — the
DMA mapping API changed in a way the 535 source doesn't handle.
6.12 LTS is the highest kernel branch that's a well-tested combo
with the 535 driver, which we need on stable's nixpkgs to retain
Maxwell support for Jellyfin NVENC.

legacy_580 only exists on unstable nixpkgs and isn't backported to
25.11. The Maxwell GM206 (Quadro M2000) is supported through the
535.x branch — last production driver to ship Maxwell support — so
this is a clean swap with no expected impact on Jellyfin's NVENC.

LAN has no v6 route, so AAAA lookups succeed but connect fails. NM's
connectivity probe was reporting "limited" at boot (GNOME's "?" icon)
until the next 5-min repoll cleared it.

Overriding linuxPackagesFor doesn't affect the already-evaluated
linuxPackages_latest attribute. Extend it directly so the patched
facetimehd is picked up by boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest.

Share the wallpaper symlink across all hosts by moving it from gnome.nix
into home-manager/fred.nix, and add matugen templates for btop and the
Homepage dashboard.
The Homepage NixOS module writes custom.css into /etc (read-only), so
bind-mount /var/lib/homepage-custom-css/custom.css over it. A systemd
path unit restarts homepage-dashboard whenever matugen rewrites the
file, so regeneration works without sudo.

Wayland/Mutter forces server-side decorations when the custom title bar
is collapsed, which looked worse than the slim custom bar. Reverting to
stock VSCodium with compact menu + no command center handled in user
settings.
