Gabriel Brown 89761a7da3 Keep the personal half of the desktop in one place, and ask before installing it
Agent instructions, skills, SSH host aliases and expansion triggers are worth
having identical on every machine one person owns, and belong in none of the
shared configuration. They live in user/ now, with a manifest saying where each
piece goes and a link-user stage that puts it there.

That stage does nothing unless the machine said yes. Somebody who clones Panama
to try the desktop keeps their own ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md exactly where it was;
the question names the destinations and defaults to no. Anything displaced goes
to config/old rather than being deleted.

~/.claude/CLAUDE.md and ~/.codex/AGENTS.md were byte-identical copies of one
file, which is the drift this exists to prevent.

Also adds the vitals toggles for the battery and Claude usage readouts, which
had preferences and no way to reach them.

# Everything Panama needs to be told, asked before anything is installed.
#
# sunhat's failure mode was a question -- or a failure -- twenty minutes into a
# run, with a person needed at the keyboard to get past it. Walking away from an
# install meant coming back to a prompt that had been waiting an hour.
#
# So Panama asks first and then runs untouched. Everything interactive lives
# here, at the front, where the answers are cheap to change and nothing has been
# installed yet.
#
# Answers are NOT remembered between runs. There is no state file to go stale, and
# nothing personal is committed, which is what keeps this repository something
# somebody else could clone. Re-answering a handful of questions costs less than
# maintaining an answers file that drifts out of date.
#
# This asks only what a stage in this repository actually consumes. A prompt
# whose answer nothing reads is a control that lies.
#
# The hardware questions name what was found rather than asking a person to
# recite their own machine, and they are not asked at all on a machine they
# would do nothing to. Detection alone would be worse: it would remove the
# ability to decline a proprietary driver on a machine that has the card.
