docs: correct the gotcha claiming the Gitea CLI is installed

No gitea-axi, tea or gh exists on the NixOS build, and there is no tea
login or GITEA_* environment to authenticate with. The flake names
gitea-axi only in the claude-code module's permissions and never packages
it, so pull requests cannot be opened from this machine.

The previous wording described the laptop while it still ran CachyOS with
these tools installed by hand.

 - [ ] Manual confirmation after a rebuild: the default sleep mode is deep rather than s2idle
 - [ ] Manual confirmation after a rebuild: the thermal and power management services are active, and the PS/2 mouse driver is no longer loaded
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+The two manual criteria are left unresolved deliberately, and this task is not
+finished until the operator resolves them. Both require a `nixos-rebuild switch`
+followed by a **reboot**, neither of which can be performed here: the rebuild
+needs root, and the sleep-mode and module-blacklist changes only take effect on a
+fresh boot rather than on activation, since the modules in question are already
+loaded.
+
+The strongest evidence obtainable short of that reboot was gathered from the
+evaluated configuration, and all of it agrees with the intent: the deep-sleep
+kernel parameter is present, the PS/2 mouse module is blacklisted, the thermal,
+power and firmware services are enabled, and Intel microcode updates remain on
+through the profile's default now that the `Host` no longer sets them. That
+confirms what was built, not what the machine does.
+
+The input follows the base nixpkgs. Locking it without that pulled a second
+nixpkgs into the lock file, which nothing evaluates — only the NixOS modules are
+consumed — and which would drift silently. Following matches every other input
+here except chaotic, whose separate pin is deliberate.
+
+Verify after rebooting:
+
+    cat /sys/power/mem_sleep          # expect [deep], currently [s2idle] deep
+    systemctl is-active thermald tlp  # expect active, currently inactive
+    lsmod | grep psmouse              # expect no output, currently loaded

 - The primary build/verify seam for any Host is `nix flake check`, which builds `checks.x86_64-linux.<host>` (the system toplevel); cheap targeted checks use `nix eval .#nixosConfigurations.<host>.config...`.
 - chaotic-nyx must **not** follow our `nixpkgs`, and its packages are built against chaotic's own pinned nixpkgs (its overlay defaults to `onTopOf = "flake-nixpkgs"`, the cache-friendly path).
   That is what lets the `nyx-cache.chaotic.cx` binary cache hit instead of compiling the CachyOS kernel from source; the tradeoff is that chaotic packages do not see our `unstable`/`stable` overlays.
-- The remote is self-hosted Gitea (`git.alexion.dev`), driven with `gitea-axi` rather than `tea`; `gh` is not installed.
+- The remote is self-hosted Gitea (`git.alexion.dev`), and the intended CLI is `gitea-axi` rather than `tea`.
   `gitea-axi` resolves the repository from the `origin` remote and takes credentials from the `axi` tea login, so both are implicit inside a checkout.
-  `tea` remains installed only as that credential source.
+  **None of it is installed on the NixOS build.** No `gitea-axi`, no `tea`, no `gh`, no tea login under `~/.config/tea`, and no `GITEA_*` environment — the flake names `gitea-axi` only in the claude-code module's permissions and never packages it.
+  Pull requests therefore cannot be opened from this machine until a module provides the tool and its credentials; branches can only be pushed.
+  The earlier claim that `tea` remains installed described the machine while it still ran CachyOS with these tools installed by hand.
 - `~/.claude/skills` is generated by home-manager with `recursive = true`, so the directories are real and writable but every leaf file is a read-only symlink into the store.
   Editing a skill in place fails; its source is `modules/claude-code/skills/<name>/` here, applied by a rebuild.
   Creating a new file under `~/.claude/skills/` succeeds silently and is the trap — it stays outside the repo and reaches no other machine.
