alexion e684ac481e refactor: mirror module namespaces to their directories (task 0031)
Adopt the convention that a Module's option path mirrors its directory
under modules/, with an index file naming the directory's own segment.

- Group agent Modules under modules.agents.*: claude-code (whole
  directory), pi (flattened to a file), skills (renamed from
  agent-skills), and gitea-axi under an agents/tools/ subgroup. The
  agents/ and tools/ folders are pure namespace prefixes with no
  aggregator enable.
- Nest hypridle and hyprlock under modules.desktop.hyprland.*, with
  hyprland.nix as the index, and update the desktop aggregator.
- Remove the obsolete example Module.
- Record the convention in CONTEXT.md and ADR 0004, and update the
  neogaia host, the two live CLAUDE.md gotchas, and the skills Module's
  intentional Enable-convention exception comment.

# Domain Modeling
Actively build and sharpen the project's domain model as you design. This is the *active* discipline — challenging terms, inventing edge-case scenarios, and writing the glossary and decisions down the moment they crystallise. (Merely *reading* `.claude/CONTEXT.md` for vocabulary is not this skill — that's a one-line habit any skill can do. This skill is for when you're changing the model, not just consuming it.)
## File structure
```
/
├── .claude/
│ ├── CONTEXT.md
│ └── adr/
│ ├── 0001-event-sourced-orders.md
│ └── 0002-postgres-for-write-model.md
└── src/
```
Create files lazily — only when you have something to write. If no `.claude/CONTEXT.md` exists, create it when the first term is resolved. If no `.claude/adr/` exists, create it when the first ADR is needed.
## During the session
### Challenge against the glossary
When the user uses a term that conflicts with the existing language in `.claude/CONTEXT.md`, call it out immediately. "Your glossary defines 'cancellation' as X, but you seem to mean Y — which is it?"
### Sharpen fuzzy language
When the user uses vague or overloaded terms, propose a precise canonical term. "You're saying 'account' — do you mean the Customer or the User? Those are different things."
### Discuss concrete scenarios
When domain relationships are being discussed, stress-test them with specific scenarios. Invent scenarios that probe edge cases and force the user to be precise about the boundaries between concepts.
### Cross-reference with code
When the user states how something works, check whether the code agrees. If you find a contradiction, surface it: "Your code cancels entire Orders, but you just said partial cancellation is possible — which is right?"
### Update .claude/CONTEXT.md inline
When a term is resolved, update `.claude/CONTEXT.md` right there. Don't batch these up — capture them as they happen. Use the format in [CONTEXT-FORMAT.md](./CONTEXT-FORMAT.md).
`.claude/CONTEXT.md` should be totally devoid of implementation details. Do not treat `.claude/CONTEXT.md` as a spec, a scratch pad, or a repository for implementation decisions. It is a glossary and nothing else.
### Offer ADRs sparingly
Only offer to create an ADR when all three are true:
1. **Hard to reverse** — the cost of changing your mind later is meaningful
2. **Surprising without context** — a future reader will wonder "why did they do it this way?"
3. **The result of a real trade-off** — there were genuine alternatives and you picked one for specific reasons
If any of the three is missing, skip the ADR. Use the format in [ADR-FORMAT.md](./ADR-FORMAT.md).
