Gabriel Brown e446a1072c Give an installed machine a way to catch up
./install only ever adds. It copies over /, links dotfiles, installs
packages -- and has no way to say "remove that file", "disable that
unit", "that symlink points nowhere now". So a machine set up months
ago keeps whatever this repository has since decided was wrong, and
the only thing that ever fixes it is somebody reading a commit
message. With a curl installer in the README, that stopped being
hypothetical.

A migration is one script that performs one repair, exactly once, on
the machines that need it. Named by the commit timestamp that authored
it, so glob order is chronological without a sequence number two
branches could both pick. Marked in ~/.local/state on success and only
on success, so a repair that failed stays pending rather than being
recorded as done and hidden forever. Ordered, and stopped at the first
failure, because a later repair may assume an earlier one landed. A
fresh install marks everything without running it, the way
Migrations.qml stamps a pre-versioning settings file at its baseline.

The first real one removes the dangling ~/.config/forge symlink left
behind when the GNOME session was cut: link-dotfiles could link it but
never unlink it. Verified both ways -- a no-op on a machine that never
had it, an actual repair on one that did.

Root work goes through panama-sudo --reason so the password prompt
names the repair, and the contract fails any migration reaching for
bare sudo.

# A migration that nobody knows about is a migration that never runs. This
# checks once per session and, when work is pending, sends one notification
# whose action opens a terminal running `panama migrate` -- so the repair is
# always something the user chose, never something that happened to them.
#
# Waiting for the notification server first is not politeness. Quickshell owns
# org.freedesktop.Notifications, and a shell that has not started yet would
# swallow this silently -- which is precisely the session where a pending
# migration is most likely to matter.
