docs: plan Nix flake packaging (spec, ADR 0018, tasks 0036-0042)
All checks were successful
CI / test (push) Successful in 55s

Add the design record for distributing gitea-axi as a Nix flake: a
package, a development shell, and a checks output, plus the continuous
integration changes that come with it.

ADR 0018 records the wrapper's deference to the operator's own `git` and
`tea` — the reverse of the hermetic instinct, chosen because `tea`
refreshes OAuth tokens in place and so must not have two versions
mutating one credential store.

Also records the `tea`-is-still-a-runtime-dependency gotcha, which ADR
0002's title obscures.

## What to build
After it installs, the Nix build drives the wrapped binary it just produced through the shared installed-binary tier, pointing that tier at the installed path rather than letting it pack and install.
This guards a class of failure the fast tier structurally cannot reach.
The compiler does not set the executable bit that npm would otherwise set from the manifest's `bin` entry at install time.
And the `setup` command resolves the bundled Agent Skill relative to its own module location, which makes the relative arrangement of the built output and the bundled Skill load-bearing — an arrangement that only exists once installed.
The check reuses the seam from the parameterized tier; it does not introduce a second, weaker set of assertions in shell script, and it does not re-run the fast tier, which would not exercise the installed layout at all.
## Acceptance criteria
- [ ] The Nix build drives the installed binary through the shared installed-binary tier after installation.
- [ ] A binary installed without its executable bit fails the build.
- [ ] A bundled Agent Skill installed at the wrong location relative to the built output fails the build.
- [ ] The post-install phase adds no assertions of its own beyond pointing the shared tier at the installed binary.
- [ ] `nix build` still succeeds end to end on a clean checkout.
