Same Vicinae theming bug as hyprlua, now fixed across the remaining DE modules:
- Vicinae loads named custom themes only from ~/.local/share/vicinae/themes/*.toml,
not ~/.config/vicinae/. Both modules now deploy cyberqueer.toml there so
settings.json's theme.dark.name="cyberqueer" resolves instead of falling back
to the stock dark theme.
- hyprland: the source had settings.json double-nested at vicinae/vicinae/, so it
deployed to ~/.config/vicinae/vicinae/settings.json and was never read. Flattened
the source to vicinae/{settings.json,cyberqueer.toml} (matching hyprlua), so it
now lands at ~/.config/vicinae/settings.json.
- niri/vicinae is a symlink to hyprlua/vicinae and niri.sh uses `cp -rL`, so its
settings.json was already correct; only the theme-deploy line was needed.
Verified by simulating both deploys into a temp HOME: final layout matches the
known-good hyprlua result.

Live VM test revealed the HyprLua DE install aborted at the cursor-download step
("wget: command not found", exit 127), leaving ~/.config/hypr undeployed. Two
root causes:
1. core-packages.sh listed `wprs` in the pacman array, but wprs is AUR-only
(wprs-git). pacman aborts the ENTIRE transaction on an unknown target, so the
whole core-packages install failed with "target not found: wprs" — and NONE
of the core packages installed, including wget. Removed wprs (it has its own
optional wprs.sh AUR module) and documented why it must never be re-added.
2. hyprlua/hyprland/niri downloaded the cursor theme and wallpaper with wget,
which is not part of the base system. Switched them to curl (always present),
so the DE install no longer depends on an earlier module having installed wget.
Without these, HyprLua silently half-installed (packages yes, config no) and the
booted system had no Hyprland configuration.

Audited every module for prompts that would hang an answerfile/unattended run.
The EWW form-factor question and several interactive-config modules were still
unguarded (only hyprlua had been fixed):
- hyprland.sh, niri.sh: skip the EWW form-factor `read` when MARCHY_UNATTENDED=1
or stdin is not a TTY, defaulting to the desktop/no-battery bar (matches hyprlua).
- mail-notmuch.sh, caldav-sync.sh: install the tools, then exit cleanly in
unattended mode instead of blocking on the account/server credential prompts —
the user configures the account after first boot.
- freeipa-server.sh: bail out early in unattended mode; FreeIPA server provisioning
is interactive and must run on a booted system (ipa-server-install needs running
services), so it can never run during the install.
freeipa-client.sh is left as-is: it has a genuine --unattended enrolment path.

When the TUI modules run inside the archiso installer chroot, the new
system's systemd is not the running init and there is no user session bus.
Operations like `systemctl start`, `enable --now`, `systemctl --user`, and
`gsettings` fail there and, under `set -e`, abort the whole module.
- logging.sh: add in_chroot/have_user_bus/enable_service/start_service
helpers. enable_service warns instead of aborting; start_service skips in
a chroot (unit starts on first boot via its enable symlink).
- core.sh, hyprland.sh, hyprlua.sh, niri.sh: route enables through
enable_service, starts through start_service, and guard gsettings behind
have_user_bus. Fixes the cronie-enable failure and the ly/DM setup abort.
- app modules (tlp, timeshift, open-webui, mysql, qemu, ollama, cockpit,
docker, ssh-server): convert `enable --now`/plain enables to
enable_service + start_service so they no longer abort during chroot install.
- tui-install.sh: run modules with output to a file plus a pid-bound tail,
waiting on the module PID, so a daemon child inheriting the pipe can no
longer hang the installer after a module (e.g. flatpak) finishes.

The core, hyprlua and hyprland package installs used backslash-continued
`pacman` commands with inline `#` comments. Bash treats the first inline
comment as the end of the command, so pacman ran with only the packages
before it and every later name (7zip, cronie, nwg-dock-hyprland, …) was
executed as a shell command — failing under `set -e`. Move all three lists
into arrays, where per-item comments are valid, and install with `--`.
Also:
- himalaya: install the official `himalaya` package (AUR `himalaya-bin` is gone).
- mail-notmuch / caldav-sync: make the systemd *user* timer setup and the
initial sync best-effort. A bare TTY/chroot install has no user session bus
(and ~/.config may not be writable yet), so `systemctl --user` and the mkdir
could abort the module; warn and continue instead.

Add modules/lib/logging.sh with log(), skip(), warn(), err() helpers.
Source it in all 84 scripts (core, DEs, optional apps) and replace bare
echo calls with structured log messages. Add log file capture to install.sh.

Duplicates desktopenvs/hyprland/ as desktopenvs/hyprlua/ and converts all
Hyprland-specific configs (.conf) to Lua (.lua) using the 0.55+ hl.* API:
hyprland.lua, envvars.lua, monitors.lua, input.lua, autostart.lua,
windowrules.lua, binds.lua. Non-Hyprland tool configs (hyprpaper, hyprlock,
hypridle, hyprtoolkit) remain as .conf. Adds hyprlua.sh installer (user-side
.lua files install to ~/.config/hypr/ for require() resolution) and registers
HyprLua as the recommended DE option in tui-install.sh, marking the old
hyprlang-based Hyprland install as legacy.
Also consolidates hyprland (legacy) env vars into hypr-usr/envvars.conf,
removing duplicates from hyprland.conf and monitors.conf.

pamtester and pinta are AUR-only; kew is now in the extra repo.
Move them to the correct install commands across audit-packages.sh,
core-packages.sh, and hyprland.sh.

Apps (new individual scripts):
wireshark, localsend, onlyoffice, vintagestory
core-packages.sh: add nmap mtr tcpdump net-tools iputils ipcalc
(bind + traceroute were already present; wireshark is now optional)
hyprland.sh:
- pinta moved from yay to pacman (available in extra)
- localsend removed from mandatory yay install (now an optional app)
Deprecate nettools.sh — all its packages are now in core or split out.
tui-install.sh: apps checklist gains wireshark, localsend, onlyoffice,
vintagestory; drops nettools; dialog sized for 12 items.

- install.sh: fix broken shell.sh ref → shell-setup.sh; update DE paths
- tui-install.sh: update DE paths to match new names
