autoUpgrade was silently failing daily on both hosts (legacy channel path,
no --flake set) without reaching the network — disabled outright since
rebuilds should only happen manually. Separately, nix-gc.timer's nightly
sweep was deleting eval-time-only flake input sources (not part of the
runtime closure), forcing the next evaluation to cold-refetch hermes-agent's
entire dependency tree from GitHub in one burst, which alone was enough to
hit the unauthenticated codeload rate limit. keep-outputs/keep-derivations
stop GC from evicting those sources.

Add an 8G swapfile for headroom during nix builds (7.7G RAM, no prior
swap) and bring nodejs (bundles npm) into the development profile.
Also picks up latest flake.lock input updates.

Proves the sops-nix pipeline end to end on mibook: encrypts a
throwaway secret to the operator + mibook host keys, declares it in
machines/mibook/secrets.nix, and verifies it decrypts to
/run/secrets/placeholder (root:root, 0400) on nixos-rebuild switch.
Also removes the dead `let secrets = config.sops.secrets;` binding
from both environments.nix files — leftover from an earlier abandoned
plan, never referenced.
Back out the entire "choose terminal-only vs KDE at boot" work. The first
attempt (default multi-user.target + on-demand desktop) locked mibook out —
it is WiFi-only with credentials in KWallet, so a headless boot has no
network and no SSH. The follow-up specialisation redesign is no longer
wanted either.
mibook returns to plain always-KDE boot (the pre-feature baseline):
- machines/mibook/configuration.nix: drop specialisation.terminal and the
NetworkManager-wait-online override.
- machines/mibook/environments.nix: drop kde-desktop.startOnBoot.
- modules/environments/kde-desktop/default.nix: drop the startOnBoot option.
- remove the boot-desktop-choice design spec.

Add my.profiles.kde-desktop.startOnBoot (default true, no change for
existing consumers). When false, boot to multi-user.target, keep SDDM
out of any boot target's wants, and provide a 'desktop' command that
starts the display manager on demand. Enable this on mibook.
