Carry installer input-method selection into the target (#237)

* Carry the installer input-method choice into the target

* Support Archinstall 4.5 sanity checks

* Constrain VM keyboard choices to supported credential layouts

* Cover VM keyboard offsets and reject absent choices

 Use `--dev` or `--rc` to build against those package channels. Both `--dev` and `--edge` select the dev packages from the edge mirror.
 
-### Regional builds
-
-`--region cn` adds China bootstrap defaults independently of the channel. The default, `--region global`, preserves the existing package set, mirrors, cache paths, and artifact names. Supported country profiles use lowercase ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes; currently only `cn` is implemented.
-
-For an unpublished regional runtime, use matching local source and package-recipe checkouts:
-
-```bash
-./bin/omarchy-iso-make --region cn --no-boot-offer --local-source /path/to/omarchy /path/to/omarchy-pkgs
-```
-
-China builds keep the channel mirror first, append the USTC Arch mirror, and add ArchLinuxCN with its verified keyring. These are a practical bridge until Omarchy runs its own mirror in China; USTC is rolling, not a matching stable/RC snapshot, so fallback version compatibility is not guaranteed. The region architecture also stages optional new-user defaults before user creation, including deferred setup, without touching existing homes. The China profile ships repository defaults and preselects `Asia/Shanghai` as the timezone; language and input-method defaults come as separate changes. See `docs/regions.md` in the companion runtime checkout.
-
-Non-global cache and ISO names gain a `-cn` suffix. A runtime without the selected profile fails the build. These builds require an x86_64 Arch container environment; packaging checks on another architecture do not substitute for a fresh build, offline installation, and graphical acceptance run.
-
 ## Autoinstall
 
 The shipped ISO installs itself with no keyboard when it finds its configuration on a second drive. Attach a drive labeled `cidata` alongside the ISO and the installer copies the config off it and skips the configurator; with no such drive, nothing changes and the wizard runs as usual. No rebuild, no extra boot entry.
