Your Name 16bc6685f8 fix: honor --dry-run across install phases; repair repo conventions and doc drift

- spawn() now respects DRY_RUN, install.sh exports it to child phases, and
  postinstall.sh wraps every user-home mutation in run() — '--dry-run' no
  longer runs apt/install/clone or edits dotfiles for real
- gen-docs.sh chmods regenerated files to 644 (mktemp mv left them at 0600)
- make check now syntax-checks apps/, entertainment/, features/, templates/
- .gitignore protects config/authorized_keys + config/rclone.conf; drop the
  tracked empty authorized_keys and the stray 6 MB session file
- pos-system-health --send prints 'sent:' only when a platform sender exists,
  otherwise warns on stderr (notify_send is silent-fail)
- standardize sourced libs (no shebang); refresh AGENT_Context/DEV/APPS/SCRIPTS
  doc drift: notify.sh in lib lists, pos-health systemd units, tsui, scripts/,
  INTERACTIVE_CMDS list, entertainment scheduler (systemd timers only)

Optional Apps Reference

apps/ holds 15 optional desktop application installers, one script per app in apps/<category>/<name>.sh. They are not installed by the core bootstrap — run the picker explicitly.

The picker — apps/install.sh
How an app installer works
App catalog

The picker — `apps/install.sh`

Purpose: discover every app under apps/ and install/uninstall the selection. Apps are auto-discovered from the directory structure — no registration step.

Usage

bash apps/install.sh                     # interactive install selection
bash apps/install.sh --all               # install everything
bash apps/install.sh brave vscode        # install specific apps
bash apps/install.sh --uninstall         # interactive uninstall selection
bash apps/install.sh --uninstall --all   # uninstall everything
bash apps/install.sh --uninstall brave   # uninstall a specific app

(Also reachable via ./install.sh --apps / --full.)

How it works

Parses --all, --uninstall, and positional app names.
Scans apps/<category>/*.sh to build the catalog (skips non-app dirs).
Picks apps three ways: named on the command line (unknown names are skipped with a warning), --all, or an interactive y/n picker grouped by category.
Runs bash apps/<category>/<name>.sh [uninstall] for each selected app, with a progress header and an overall elapsed-time banner.

Configuration

Categories: browsers, development, media, networking, remote-access, system, utilities.
Adding an app = dropping apps/<category>/<name>.sh into the folder. See DEV.md for the required installer conventions.

How an app installer works

Every app script follows the same shape:

install_<name>() { … }      # idempotent: checks command -v (or flatpak list) first
uninstall_<name>() { … }    # also idempotent; purges and removes any added repos/keys
case "${1:-}" in
    uninstall) uninstall_<name> ;;
    *) install_<name> ;;
esac

Installation methods used across the catalog:

Method	Example
`apt` package	`sudo apt install -y obs-studio`
Official installer script	`curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh \| sh`
Custom apt repo (added at install, removed at uninstall)	Brave, VS Code
`.deb` file	`curl` → `dpkg -i` → `apt-get install -f -y`
GitHub release archive	scrcpy (tar.gz → `/usr/local/lib/`)
AppImage	AFFiNE (`/opt/affine` + desktop entry)
Flatpak	LocalSend (`flatpak install -y flathub …`)
