Notes

• flake.nix delegates output wiring to nixos-unified; modules/flake/toplevel.nix enables auto-wiring
• nixpkgs tracks 25.11, with newer packages exposed through pkgs.unstable.*
• Formatting is enforced through git-hooks.nix with nixfmt-rfc-style
• Theme convention is Catppuccin Mocha across terminals, editors, and CLI tools
