Gabriel Brown 88497826ec Let a machine say what it is for, and give Firefox its face back
Phase 4: the optional application categories, and the Firefox chrome.

Everything Panama installed until now was what every machine gets, which meant a
work laptop acquired emulators and a desktop that wanted Steam had to be told
about it by hand. The interview now offers the categories in
setup/packages/extras/ as a checklist -- gaming, creative, communication,
virtualization -- and nothing is preselected, because a default here installs
applications nobody chose on a machine whose owner answered a question they
thought was about something else.

A category is one file, and a category mixes both package managers because the
applications do: Steam is in RPM Fusion, Slack publishes only a flatpak. So a
bare line is a dnf package and a flatpak: line is a Flathub ID, and one file
holds the whole answer rather than splitting each category across two. The menu
is read from the directory rather than written down, so adding a category is
adding a file. Every name in all four was resolved against the actual
repositories before being written down, and the contract re-resolves them --
the point of admitting applications one at a time is that they stay installable,
and a typo here fails on somebody else's machine, not this one.

Firefox is declared, and its chrome is Edge-Frfox, vendored into config/firefox.
sunhat carried that theme with no license and no attribution; it is MIT, and now
it says so and says whose it is.

It is the only piece of Panama's configuration that does not go to a path this
repository chooses. Firefox owns the profile directory, names it with a random
salt, and does not create one until the browser has been run -- so link-dotfiles
finds or creates a profile and links both halves into it. Both, or neither works:
chrome/ is the CSS and user.js sets the preference that makes Firefox read chrome/
at all, without which the theme is a directory of dead files.

Two assumptions there were wrong, and the contract exists for both. Firefox has
moved to the XDG directories -- the profile root is ~/.config/mozilla/firefox on
this build, not ~/.mozilla/firefox, and writing to the wrong one themes nothing
and says nothing about it. And -CreateProfile turns out to be non-interactive, so
a fresh machine gets the theme on the first install rather than the second. The
contract runs link-dotfiles for real against a throwaway home with no profile in
it and looks at what came out; it was checked by pointing the search at the
legacy path only and watching it fail.

Also: the enrolment/enrollment spellings from the last commit are corrected. This
repository is US-spelled everywhere else -- color 1131 times against colour never
-- and consistency in prose is worth as much as it is in code.

# ── Stages ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# Each runs in its own process so strict-shell options and helper variables stay
# local to the script that owns them. A failing stage is reported and the rest
# still run: a missing optional package should not stop the dotfiles being
# linked. The summary at the end is what decides whether the install worked,
# because a failure scrolled past twenty minutes ago is a failure nobody saw.
#
# Explicit order, not glob order: change-settings runs `vicinae theme set`,
# which needs both vicinae itself (installed by install-packages) and the
# theme files it selects among (symlinked into place by link-dotfiles);
# setup-identity needs the gh and git-all that install-packages provides; and
# install-hardware is last because MOK enrollment arms a prompt consumed at the
# next boot and a firmware update may ask for a reboot -- a machine that reboots
# out of the final stage has already been completely configured. New scripts
# must be added here explicitly, or they will not run at all.
# The interview is not in that list, because it is the one stage whose output the
# installer reads back -- and because declining it must stop everything rather
# than be recorded as one failure among several.
#
# The answers live for exactly one run. There is no state file to go stale and
# nothing personal reaches a durable path, which is what keeps this repository
# something somebody else could clone. Created here rather than earlier so the
# trap that deletes it is already armed before the file exists.
