Gabriel Brown f33da41cc6 Panama learns what a server is: from a root login to running containers
A machine's role is now the interview's first question and the one answer
Panama records. Servers get the same shell minus the screen: core packages,
nvm, Bun, Claude Code and Codex (desktops get Codex too), linger, rootless
ports from 80, firewalld, the nginx-bridge network, and a nightly image
updater that replaced watchtower for cause.

server/containers/ carries junior's 23 compose services -- secrets moved to
per-machine .env files that never enter this public repo, every transformed
compose proven to render byte-identical to what is live. 'panama server'
enables, disables and relinks them; nothing here restarts a running service.
'boot --server' walks a fresh VPS from its root login to a normal install.

Five new contracts pin the secrets rule, the catalog's shape, panama-server's
behavior, the role plumbing, and the dotfile classification.

#
# Everything above is what every Panama machine gets. This is what one machine
# asked for: the interview offers the categories in setup/packages/extras/ as a
# checklist and records the chosen names, so a work laptop does not acquire
# emulators and a desktop does not skip Steam.
#
# Absent means none. That is what makes this stage safe to re-run by hand while
# repairing one piece of a machine -- and it means a category is installed only
# by an explicit answer, never by a default that drifted.
#
# A category mixes both package managers, because the applications do: some are
# in Fedora or RPM Fusion and some publish only a flatpak. A bare line is a dnf
# package and a `flatpak:` line is a Flathub ID, so one file per category holds
# the whole answer rather than splitting each category across two.
#
# Reading the file is setup/lib/extras-catalog's job, not this function's, because
# `panama apps` offers the same catalog from the other side. Two parsers would
# eventually disagree about what a category contains, and the one that disagreed
# quietly would be this one -- it runs unattended.
