New users get a one-time welcome window on first boot (self-gating marker,
skipped for the live/installer user) and a keybind cheatsheet on SUPER+/.
Also bind BOS Settings to SUPER+, (it had no launcher bind). Both popups
are floated/centred via window rules. Addresses the onboarding/
discoverability gap from external review.

The boot splash still used the old bread-brown background (#230b00)
after the rest of the theme moved to a black base (#0c0c0c). Switch
bos.script's background to black so the boot splash is consistent with
the wallpaper/pywal palette and breadbar.

Install/boot reliability:
- Use native Calamares initcpiocfg/initcpio + explicit grub-install (nvram +
--removable) in post-install; drop the flaky native bootloader/grubcfg modules.
- mount.conf: bind /proc /sys /dev (devtmpfs) /run + efivars into the chroot.
- bos-copy-kernel: stage kernel + write a stock mkinitcpio preset (replace the
archiso preset). Per-service systemctl enable (fixes NetworkManager et al.
silently not enabling due to the all-or-nothing grub-btrfs.path name).
System completeness:
- greetd + tuigreet graphical login; installed pacman.conf + working mirrorlist;
base CLI tools (nano, micro, vim, htop, …); amd/intel-ucode; tlp + hypridle
power management; systemd-timesyncd, fstrim.timer; wpa_supplicant wifi; Zen
browser (republished to the [Breadway] repo).
Desktop + theming:
- Native Lua Hyprland config (hyprland.lua) with curated standard binds; kitty
(blur) replaces foot; awww wallpaper + pywal palette (tamed to a black base
with warm accents); GTK dark mode.
- Plymouth boot splash (bos theme: logo + spinner + status) via plymouthcfg.
- Varela Round font; Calamares bread-palette sidebar (logo/black-region polish
still pending).
