ryan4yin | 二花 b726c28c14 feat(nixpak): sandbox Steam and Heroic in ~/Gaming (#520)
* feat(nixpak): sandbox Steam and Heroic in ~/Gaming

idols-ai stops preserving ~/.local/share/Steam, ~/.steam, ~/.config/heroic
and their game data, which must be moved into ~/Gaming before deploying.

Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (deepseek-flash)

* refactor(nixpak): replace steam-fix.nu with sandboxed protontricks

Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (claude-opus-5-5)

* fix(nixpak): hide host documents and GTK config from game sandboxes

Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (claude-opus-5-5)

* docs(ai): locate the Steam library under ~/Gaming

Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (claude-opus-5-5)

* fix(umu-game): confine writes to ~/Gaming and keep foreign entries

Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (claude-opus-5-5)

* fix(nixpak): keep Steam and Heroic in the application launcher

The wrappers only carried bin/, so neither launcher had a desktop entry
after replacing programs.steam.

Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (deepseek-flash)

* fix(nixpak): give the game sandboxes a fontconfig that sees CJK fonts

Steam rendered Chinese as tofu: the FHS layers build their own /etc/fonts,
whose config lists only DejaVu and the XDG font directory, so neither the
host fonts nor the FHS /usr/share/fonts were ever scanned. Point
FONTCONFIG_FILE at a small config that includes /usr/share/fonts, and ship
WenQuanYi Zen Hei and Noto Sans CJK in all three FHS layers.

Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (deepseek-flash)

* fix(nixpak): grant the game launchers a StatusNotifier tray icon

Steam and Heroic register a tray icon over D-Bus, and the game sandboxes
granted no StatusNotifierWatcher access, so the desktop shell had nothing
to show for them. Enable desktopIntegration.tray for all three launchers
and teach the policy suites to expect it.

Assisted-by: DeepSeek Harness (deepseek-flash)

* fix(nixpak): drop the duplicate host CJK font and tidy the font overrides

Steam reads the fonts inside its own FHS layer, so the system-wide wqy_zenhei
added for it no longer serves any sandbox. Give gaming-policy its own comment
for FONTCONFIG_FILE instead of leaving it under the compat-tool one, make the
desktop-base value a default, and note the SNI tray grant in the README table.

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
