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.

# Wait, What?
That last message did not land. Re-pitch it.
- Give enough **context** to make it land this time, rather than repeating the same words more
slowly. Assume the gap was missing context, not missing intelligence.
- Write in **Simplified Technical English**: short sentences, one idea each, plain words, active
voice, no jargon that has not been introduced.
- Use the project's **ubiquitous language** from `CONTEXT.md`, following `CONTEXT-MAP.md` to the right
one where the repo has several. Where a term is not in the glossary, define it in the sentence that
first uses it.
- Lead with the point. The re-pitch is not a longer version of the original: it is the same claim,
arrived at from what the reader already knows.
Do not apologise, do not narrate the miscommunication, and do not simply expand the original. Say the
thing again, better.
