feat(neogaia): declare a 2 GiB EFI system partition (task 0016)
Each generation stores a kernel and an initrd on the EFI system partition, and this host runs a large third-party kernel, so 512 MiB holds only about seven. An exhausted partition fails at bootloader installation, after the build has already succeeded. The partition cannot grow in place: it sits first on the disk with the encrypted container immediately behind it, and an encrypted volume's start offset cannot move without rewriting its whole payload. Only an install applies this layout, so the change takes effect at the next reimage and does nothing to the running machine until then. Record that a flake only sees git-tracked files, which cost an evaluation earlier, and correct the git identity gotcha that a hand-written gitconfig had made false.

## Acceptance criteria
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] The `Host`'s disk layout declares a 2 GiB EFI system partition
|
||||
- [ ] Every local branch worth keeping exists on the remote before the disk is erased
|
||||
- [x] The `Host`'s disk layout declares a 2 GiB EFI system partition
|
||||
- [x] Every local branch worth keeping exists on the remote before the disk is erased
|
||||
- [ ] The reimage is performed from a configuration carrying the hardware profile, following the existing install documentation
|
||||
- [ ] The install documentation is corrected wherever the procedure diverged from what it describes
|
||||
- [ ] Manual confirmation: the machine boots, the encrypted root unlocks, and console login succeeds
|
||||
- [ ] Manual confirmation: reported free space on the boot partition is consistent with its 2 GiB size, resolving the discrepancy observed before the reimage — where a 512 MiB partition reported 1022 MiB
|
||||
- [ ] The project's agent instructions record that a flake only sees git-tracked files, so an untracked file is invisible to evaluation

## Implementation Notes
|
||||
|
||||
This task is **blocked on an operator action**, not finished. Three of seven
|
||||
criteria are satisfied: the declaration, the branch check, and the recorded
|
||||
gotcha. The remaining four all depend on erasing the disk, which is not an
|
||||
action taken on the operator's behalf.
|
||||
|
||||
The branch check was verified rather than assumed — no local branch holds a
|
||||
commit absent from the remote, so nothing is lost to the wipe. Two items that
|
||||
live outside the repo do not survive it and are not covered by any criterion:
|
||||
the agent memory directory, and the wifi credentials.
|
||||
|
||||
Criterion 4 is deliberately left open despite four corrections already landing
|
||||
on the main branch — a wrong repository name in both clone commands, a closing
|
||||
section describing a superseded key-derivation design, a stale enumeration of
|
||||
flake inputs, and a bootstrap-ordering sentence contradicting a later one. All
|
||||
four were found by reading the procedure. The criterion asks for divergences
|
||||
found by *running* it, which has not happened. The wrong repository name would
|
||||
have stopped the install at the clone step, so the reading pass was worth doing;
|
||||
it is just not the same evidence.
|
||||
|
||||
**Ordering hazard.** Between merging this and completing the reimage, the
|
||||
repository asserts a partition layout the physical disk does not have, and disko
|
||||
reconciles nothing on a running machine. The declaration should reach the branch
|
||||
the install reads immediately before the install, not days ahead of it. If the
|
||||
reimage is deferred, this is the file that quietly lies about the only laptop.
|
||||
|
||||
One correction outside this task's scope also landed here: the gotcha claiming
|
||||
git identity was unconfigured, which a hand-written `~/.gitconfig` had made
|
||||
false. Moving that identity into the flake belongs to the commit-identity work
|
||||
this task's description explicitly fences off.
