The procedure was built around a login password set by hand through
nixos-enter, a step that no longer exists now that the password arrives
as a decrypted secret. Rather than patch around it, revise the document:
the LUKS passphrase is named as the only hand-entered secret, and identity
provisioning moves ahead of first boot, since there is no fallback
credential to get in with if decryption fails.
Cover the three procedures the install alone did not: provisioning a
running host live, the editing workflow and what it needs the admin
identity for, and recovery from the live ISO.
