alexion 66379c6b02 feat(toolkit): bundle the baseline interactive toolset
Add modules.toolkit, an aggregator that enables fish, tmux, nvim, git,
and direnv as one unit, and makes fish the login shell, so any Host or
Guest shell feels identical. Each member is set via mkDefault, so a Host
can still override any single piece while the one flag brings up the
whole bundle.

neogaia now enables the bundle as a single line in place of its five
individual enables and its explicit default-shell line, keeping the Host
a flat checklist.

What to build

A new bundle Module, modules.toolkit, that turns on the baseline interactive environment — fish, tmux, nvim, git, and direnv — as one unit. Enabling it on a Host brings up all five together, so any Host or Guest shell feels identical. This is a deliberate bundle wanted as a unit, distinct from the grouping-directory aggregate enables ADR 0004 rejected.

Acceptance criteria

  • modules.toolkit declares an enable option following the Enable convention and lives at a path its file location mirrors, per the Namespace convention.
  • Enabling modules.toolkit turns on fish, tmux, nvim, git, and direnv as a group.
  • A Host that enables modules.toolkit still reads as a flat checklist — the bundle is one line, not a hidden group of five.
  • A Host enabling modules.toolkit builds via nix flake check, and the five underlying Modules are enabled (verifiable by nix eval of their enable values).

Implementation Notes

  • modules/toolkit.nix follows the sanctioned aggregator pattern of modules/desktop/desktop.nix: an index node whose enable sets each member's enable = lib.mkDefault true, so a Host can still override any single piece while the one flag brings up the bundle.
  • neogaia was converted as the demonstrating Host: its five individual modules.{fish,git,direnv,tmux,nvim}.enable = true lines collapse to one modules.toolkit.enable = true.
  • The bundle also sets modules.fish.defaultShell, so fish is the login shell wherever the toolkit is enabled — part of making any Host or Guest shell feel identical. This is mkDefault, so a Host can still opt out. neogaia's previously explicit defaultShell line is therefore dropped.
  • Verified: nix flake check builds checks.x86_64-linux.neogaia, and nix eval of each of the five members' enable on neogaia returns true.
  • The working tree also carries .claude/CONTEXT.md, ADR 0006, and the guests spec — planning artifacts for the wider guests spec, not this task. They are deliberately left out of this task's commit and staged separately by the broader work.
