David Heinemeier HanssonandClaude Opus 5 536fcd5c6c Move install-time plumbing out of the setup namespace

setup is where a user goes to configure something: direct boot, security
keys, hibernation. These three are not that. omarchy-apply-system is the
ISO's entry point in the target chroot, omarchy-apply-hardware is what it
calls for device quirks, and omarchy-apply-lock is called by
install/config/lockscreen-pam.sh.

apply is the verb they already used to describe themselves, and it carries
the contract: declared state under install/ converged onto the machine,
idempotent, safe to repeat.

The group gets no GROUP_DESCRIPTIONS entry on purpose. That table drives the
top-level group list on its own, so an entry would put apply back in front of
users even with every command in it hidden, the way provision already stays
out. A test covers it.

The ISO installs the runtime from the mirror it ships with, so it moves to
the new names in lockstep and no compatibility route is needed.

Read this before working under install/ or on the system/user setup commands.

The ISO owns installation orchestration. This repo ships target-side setup commands and reusable setup leaves:

bin/omarchy-apply-system runs root-owned system setup during ISO finalization.
bin/omarchy-apply-hardware runs idempotent hardware-specific setup and is called by omarchy-apply-system.
bin/omarchy-finalize-user runs the per-user runtime finalization (skill symlinks, xdg-user-dirs, mime defaults, install/user/all.sh). Shipped user defaults are seeded by /etc/skel from omarchy-settings, not by this command. bin/omarchy-reinstall-configs is the explicit destructive resync of those defaults into an existing user's $HOME.
leaf scripts under install/ are sourced by run_logged $OMARCHY_INSTALL/path/to/script.sh and intentionally do not have shebangs.
avoid exit in sourced setup scripts unless intentionally aborting setup.
use $OMARCHY_INSTALL and $OMARCHY_PATH instead of hard-coded Omarchy paths.
keep root-scoped hardware setup under install/hardware/ and orchestrate it through install/hardware/all.sh.
keep every per-user setup leaf under install/user/ (including install/user/hardware/ and install/user/first-run/) so it is clear what must run for each user.
prefer helper commands for package and command checks where available.

Raw command -v, pacman, and pacman-key are acceptable in package-helper contexts where direct package-manager behavior is the point of the script.
