Complete archiso/Calamares profile scaffold (iso/)

- Calamares modules: unpackfs (clone), partition/mount/fstab (btrfs subvols),
  bootloader (systemd-boot + quiet splash), packages (strip live), services
  (greetd), shellprocess (snapper, flathub, strip-live), branding (Fuji)
- bootstrap-profile.sh: releng base + linux-zen swap + overlay our deltas
- BUILD.md: build steps, decisions, and honest open items (needs build-test)

# TANINUX (camel) — ISO build
archiso profile for a **live + Calamares installer** ISO. Model: the live ISO
**is** the installable system; Calamares clones it to disk (`unpackfs`), then
configures systemd-boot, Btrfs, services and strips the live-only bits.
## Decisions baked in
- **Kernel:** linux-zen
- **Bootloader (target):** systemd-boot (the ISO itself boots systemd-boot/syslinux)
- **Filesystem:** Btrfs + snapper/snap-pac snapshots (subvol layout: `@`, `@home`,
`@cache`, `@log`, `@snapshots`)
- **Splash:** Plymouth (`quiet splash`, plymouth mkinitcpio hook)
- **Login:** greetd + tanin-greet (enabled on the target by Calamares)
- **Preinstalled:** the whole `tanin-desktop` + firefox, thunderbird, kitty,
nautilus, flatpak(+Flathub), mpv, loupe, GStreamer codecs, noto fonts/emoji/cjk,
file-roller, paru*
- **Repo:** `[tanin]` (Gitea Arch registry), DB-signing key trusted in the keyring
## Prerequisites
```sh
sudo pacman -S archiso # to build
```
- **`[tanin]` must be complete & reachable** (it is: git.openbureau.ch). The build
pacman.conf pulls `tanin-desktop` + deps from it (SigLevel=Never at build time).
- **\*paru is AUR** → it must be rebuilt into `[tanin]` before enabling it in
`overrides/packages.x86_64` (currently commented out), or the build fails.
(Rebuild like eww-git: `paru-bin` via makepkg → `publish-tanin-repo.sh`.)
## Build
```sh
./bootstrap-profile.sh # assemble build-profile/ (releng base + overrides)
./bootstrap-profile.sh --build # assemble + mkarchiso -> out/
# or manually:
sudo mkarchiso -v -w /tmp/tanin-work -o out build-profile
```
## How it fits together
- `overrides/` holds only our deltas; `bootstrap-profile.sh` copies the canonical
`releng` profile and overlays them (so bootloader/mkinitcpio boilerplate stays
authoritative; it also swaps the live kernel `linux``linux-zen`).
- `overrides/pacman.conf`**build-time** (adds `[tanin]`, SigLevel=Never).
- `overrides/airootfs/etc/pacman.conf`**live + target** (`[tanin]` Optional
TrustAll; the key is imported by `customize_airootfs.sh`).
- `overrides/airootfs/root/customize_airootfs.sh` — locale, import `[tanin]` key,
enable NetworkManager, plymouth hook, live boots to the installer.
- Live boot: getty autologin on tty1 → `/root/.bash_profile``tanin-installer`
`cage -s -- calamares`.
- Calamares (`airootfs/etc/calamares/`): `unpackfs` clone → btrfs subvols (mount.conf)
→ systemd-boot (bootloader.conf) → snapper + Flathub (shellprocess) → enable
greetd + strip live bits → done.
## ⚠️ Open items / needs real build-testing (can't validate without mkarchiso+root)
1. **Calamares end-to-end** — the sequence/module configs are a solid starting
point but UNTESTED; expect to iterate (esp. partition/mount/bootloader on real
hardware + UEFI).
2. **snapper on Btrfs**`create-config` can conflict with the pre-created
`/.snapshots` subvol; the shellprocess is tolerant (`|| true`) but verify
snapshots actually work (snap-pac before/after pacman).
3. **systemd-boot + snapshots** — no boot-menu snapshot entries (unlike grub-btrfs);
rollback is via `snapper rollback` from a recovery, not the boot menu.
4. **live-vs-target divergence**`shellprocess-striplive` removes the live
autologin/installer on the target; verify the target boots to greetd, not Calamares.
5. **Plymouth** — a custom Fuji theme isn't shipped yet (uses the default). Add a
`tanin-plymouth` theme later.
6. **Calamares branding** — no logo/slideshow assets yet (text-only); add `logo.png`
+ `show.qml` under `branding/tanin/` for polish.
7. **paru** — rebuild into `[tanin]`, then uncomment in `packages.x86_64`.
8. **[tanin] key in the live keyring** — `customize_airootfs.sh` imports it; confirm
`pacman -Sy` works inside the live env and that Calamares' target pacman trusts it.
