Best practice for the long-running bread daemon: ship an enabled user unit in
skel (~/.config/systemd/user/breadd.service + default.target.wants symlink)
instead of a bare Hyprland exec-once. Gives crash-restart, journald logging
(journalctl --user -u breadd), and proper lifecycle.
- ExecStart uses %h so it works for any account created from skel (not a
hardcoded home).
- RuntimeDirectoryPreserve=yes so restarting breadd doesn't wipe the shared
theme.css that bread-theme writes into /run/user/<uid>/bread.
- hyprland.lua: replace the `breadd` exec-once with a Wayland-env import
(dbus-update-activation-environment) + `systemctl --user restart breadd`, so
the service — which autostarts at login before Hyprland exists — picks up
HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE and can drive the compositor.

- Add bread-theme to the binaries baked into /etc/skel from bakery state.
- Run `bread-theme generate` first in the Hyprland autostart so the shared
GUI stylesheet ($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/bread/theme.css) exists before breadbar /
breadbox / bos-settings paint (they also live-reload it on change).

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.

- libadwaita apps (nautilus, gnome-text-editor) rendered light because
gsettings-desktop-schemas + dconf were missing, so the color-scheme
prefer-dark autostart silently no-op'd. Add both packages.
- Replace Hyprland's slow default animations with the reference laptop's
bezier curves + per-leaf speeds (hl.curve + hl.animation).
- kitty background_opacity 0.88 -> 0.6 to match the laptop; drop the
macOS-only background_blur line (Hyprland supplies the blur).
- Add README.md documenting the actual image, build, and test flow.

bibata-cursor-theme-bin 2.0.7-1 is now in the [breadway] repo, so add it
back to the package list and re-enable the Bibata-Modern-Ice cursor in the
Hyprland env, GTK settings, and gsettings autostart.

Use Hyprland default cursor instead. All other theming changes from the
previous commit are unaffected.

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).
