Hosts now accept only the two CanoKeys' resident SSH keys for ryan, plus the romantic recovery key for root; per-host user keys stop working. Darwin builds work again: the shared base no longer sets nixpkgs.config next to nix-darwin's nixpkgs.pkgs.

Use the CanoKey for daily authentication on idols-ai and shoukei, with
the existing passwords, passphrases and per-host SSH keys as fallback.
- sudo: pam_u2f with a shared origin (pam://ryan4yin) and a Nix-store
authfile built from myvars.canokeyU2fKeys; the primary key is
registered and touch-to-sudo works on idols-ai.
- SSH: one resident ed25519-sk key (application=ssh:ryan4yin) exported
to ~/.ssh/id_ed25519_sk; GitHub tries it before the per-host key.
- shoukei LUKS: fido2-device=auto with token-timeout=10s. Update
nixos-apple-silicon (linux-asahi 7.2.14), whose initrd adds
thunderbolt_apple and reset_apple_cio so USB-C comes up before unlock.
- GPG: scdaemon disable-ccid so it uses pcscd.
- docs/security-keys.md: setup, PINs, enrollment, backup key and
recovery; deduplicate the FIDO notes left by #515.

Vinput's streaming Zipformer models have unbounded dynamic shapes, so
OpenVINO cannot compile them for the GPU or the NPU; the `openvino`
provider and ai's Intel NPU enablement could never run on the NPU (noted
as unverified in WORKAROUNDS WA-017). Remove the backend option, the
daemon's OpenVINO library path, and the intel-npu module enable, and
update the eval test, README and WORKAROUNDS (drop WA-016 and WA-017).
Keep Vinput's stock package and its bundled sherpa-onnx (1.13.4): the
fork-based and nixpkgs-master sherpa overrides existed only to provide the
`openvino` provider, so drop package.nix with them.

`programs.noctalia.settings` deploys the TOML as a store symlink, so every edit needs a `home-manager switch`. Deploy the baseline from the config layer with `mkOutOfStoreSymlink` instead: Noctalia hot-reloads config-layer files and never rewrites them, so edits apply live while Settings UI changes stay in ~/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml (which loads last) and out of the repo.
Update the docs and host-specific comments to match the two-layer model.
Noctalia v5 is the native C++/Wayland rewrite; the Quickshell-based v4 line (pkgs.noctalia-shell) is EOL and its JSON config is not migrated upstream.
- use the upstream home-manager programs.noctalia module (present at our pinned HM revision) instead of the hand-rolled package + symlink module: it installs pkgs.noctalia, validates config.toml at build time via checkConfig, and supports customPalettes; drop the v4 Qt/Qt6ct session setup
- replace the v4 settings.json/plugins.json with a minimal shared config.toml (font, Catppuccin shell palette, templates off, screenshot annotation, accessibility/bar scale, night light, wallpaper, location/weather); host-specific bits live in per-host files (shoukei's eDP-1 backlight in noctalia/host-shoukei.toml), which merge after config.toml. Application theming stays with catppuccin/nix
- treat config.toml as the single source of truth: do NOT persist ~/.local/state/noctalia and set setup_wizard_enabled = false, so UI tweaks are promoted back into the repo instead of accumulating in app-owned state
- port niri keybinds to 'noctalia msg ...', update spawn-at-startup and the backdrop layer namespace, fix the broken 'octalia-shell' media-previous bind, and replace the grim/slurp/satty screenshot stack with Noctalia's native region/fullscreen/annotate commands (drop the unused packages)
- drop the now-redundant swaybg and swaylock (Noctalia owns the wallpaper and lock screen, the latter authenticating against the PAM 'login' service) and its PAM entry; keep wlogout as an emergency fallback
- update hypridle's lock commands and the matching eval test
- refresh the noctalia docs
Replace the static hypridle.conf with services.hypridle.settings and add required timeout options so each host tunes its own values:
- idols-ai (PC): 15 min keyboard, 20 min screen-off, 30 min lock.
- 12kingdoms-shoukei (laptop): 3 / 6 / 20 min (previous values).
The options have no defaults because the right values depend on the machine. Update the home-manager eval test to inspect the settings option instead of the old config file text.
Desktop speakers on idols-ai use the EBU R128 broadcast standard (-23 dB), while the quiet built-in laptop speakers on 12kingdoms-shoukei keep -12 dB. Move the target out of the shared preset so each host sets its own value.
- render Niri on the Intel iGPU while retaining NVIDIA-connected physical outputs
- encode Sunshine streams with Intel VAAPI and wait for a Niri output before startup
- load VKMS persistently for headless sessions and configure `Virtual-1` at 2560x1600@60
- let Moonlight request the stream bitrate instead of enforcing a 20 Mbps host cap
- remove unsupported Dynamic Boost and global NVIDIA session overrides
- grant Sunshine access to virtual input devices
- add a Nushell recovery helper that starts a temporary greetd/Niri session from SSH
- identify and safely replace normal, standalone, or previous transient Niri sessions
- launch the transient service in the background and verify greetd, Niri, and Sunshine before returning
- ignore local `.worktrees` directories and keep eval regression coverage focused on structural behavior
- read Asahi aop-sensors ALS via iio and drive eDP-1 backlight
- drop PrivateUsers for wluma so it can reach the real user D-Bus session
- remove hypridle 10min screen-dim listener: its brightnessctl writes fight
wluma and get learned as manual adjustments
Explicitly set programs.nixvim.nixpkgs.source to suppress the follows
warning, and migrate all programs.ssh.matchBlocks to programs.ssh.settings
using upstream PascalCase directive names.
