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.

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.

New optional modules (browsers): chromium, firefox, zen-browser,
nyxt, librewolf, min-browser.
New optional modules (editors/IDEs): vscodium, zed, geany,
codeblocks, kate.
Add lynx to default core packages.
All 11 modules wired into both install-modules.sh and tui-install.sh
(the archiso-embedded installer) with consistent count_steps,
checklist, summary, and dispatch entries. Every module path verified
to exist; all scripts pass bash -n syntax check.

Add bc, dmidecode, dosfstools, e2fsprogs, fzf, git, hdparm, lshw, lsof,
openbsd-netcat, parted, ripgrep, rsync, strace, sysstat, tmux, and whois —
utilities that ship by default on most distros or are now effectively standard.

podman, podman-compose, cockpit, cockpit-files, cockpit-podman all have
dedicated optional modules — no reason to install them on every system.

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.

- amssh: use dedicated /etc/pam.d/amssh service instead of login (pam_u2f
was commented out in login); auto-create service and register key on
first-launch FIDO selection
- amssh: redirect pamtester stdout+stderr to /dev/tty so the tap prompt is
visible and the success message doesn't contaminate pass=$(_get_passphrase)
- amssh: split _fido_pam_available into _fido_hardware_available (for dialog
gating) and _fido_pam_available (runtime — requires keys file + PAM service)
- setup: add pamtester to core-packages.sh
- setup: add audit-packages.sh to verify installed packages come from the
expected source (pacman/AUR/flatpak)

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.
