ryan4yin | 二花 7cfda39c2c feat: log in and sudo over SSH with a CanoKey touch
The CanoKey resident SSH key (`ryan@canokey-moe`, the backup once a new primary key is enrolled) is now authorized for ryan and root on every host, and sudo on server and agent hosts accepts its touch through the forwarded agent (`pam_rssh`). Without the key or a forwarded agent, sudo asks for the password and login falls back to the file keys. Only `canokeySshKeys` can satisfy sudo.

Risks to weigh:

- Colmena deploys need one touch per host connection, since the agent offers the CanoKey key first.
- Desktops now forward the agent to every `hostsAddr` alias, as they already did for `192.168.*`; while a session is open, root there can request signatures, each needing a touch.

### Verification

- `just test` exits 0; CI passed on the first commit.
- Evaluated: sudo PAM stack `rssh` → `unix` → `deny` on shoryu, kana, akane and k3s-test-1-master-1, ai-niri keeps `pam_u2f`; shoryu root and ryan list `ryan@canokey-moe`.
- Not yet verified on a running host.

### Manual step after merge

Deploy the servers, then `just niri`; close old multiplexed connections (`ssh -O exit <host>`) and try `sudo true` over SSH.

System hardening modules (kernel baseline, AppArmor, app sandboxes) live under ../hardening/.

Module Categories

1. Base Modules (base/)

Common configuration shared between NixOS and macOS:

  • System fonts and localization
  • Essential packages and tools
  • Basic security settings
  • User management
  • Package overlays

2. macOS Modules (darwin/)

macOS-specific configuration:

  • macOS applications and system settings
  • Security configurations tailored for macOS
  • SSH and system-level settings
  • Package compatibility fixes

3. NixOS Modules (nixos/)

Platform-specific NixOS configuration:

  • Base: Core system settings and services
  • Desktop: Desktop environment and GUI applications
  • Server: Server-specific optimizations and services

Usage

There is no automatic platform detection. Each host's entry under outputs/<system>/src/ lists its imports explicitly:

  • NixOS Systems: import nixos/ modules
  • macOS Systems: import darwin/ modules
  • Both: import base/ modules for shared configuration
