# What a theme installed from a git repo may not ship, because these run code.
# Hyprland requires a theme's hyprland.lua and gum_env.lua at login and Neovim
# loads its neovim.lua at startup, so no .lua from such a theme is staged at all.
# Each terminal config names the program the terminal launches, and vscode.json
# names an extension omarchy-theme-set-vscode installs, a VS Code extension being
# arbitrary JavaScript. Everything else a theme ships is colour and is kept.
#
# Adding a template for another terminal, or for another editor that loads Lua,
# means adding it here. test/shell.d/theme-staging-test.sh fails on a generated
# theme file that is neither denied here nor recorded there as colour-only.
