The gitea-runner is a systemd DynamicUser whose passwd home is /, so ssh
expands ~ to /.ssh/... (not $HOME). deploy-rs passes ssh opts to ssh with
no shell, so a tilde in deploy.nix sshOpts resolved to a missing key and
nix copy failed with 'failed to start SSH connection'.
Keep deploy.nix sshOpts path-free; build absolute -i/known_hosts paths in
deploy.yml from $HOME (bash-expanded) and append them via --ssh-opts, which
deploy-rs merges into NIX_SSHOPTS for the copy and the activation ssh.
Also removes the temporary SSH debug step.

- sops-nix flake input, age + ssh-to-age in devShell, .sops.yaml with
per-host recipients (real pubkeys still TODO until lars bootstraps).
- nix/modules/gebos-secrets.nix centralises per-host secret subsets and
renders /run/secrets/gebos-env via sops.templates. Service modules now
read EnvironmentFile= from services.gebos.secrets.envFile instead of
the placeholder /etc/gebos/secrets.env.
- Falls back to a writeText env file when nix/secrets/secrets.yaml is
absent, so `nix flake check` and first-boot eval work pre-bootstrap.
- nix/secrets/README.md walks through age key + sops bootstrap.
- Dev defaults: ingester binary falls back to local tcp/postgres URLs,
process-compose adds mosquitto and wires GEBOS_MQTT_BROKER /
GEBOS_POSTGRES_URL / GEBOS_POSTGRES_PASSWORD + VITE_SUPABASE_URL /
VITE_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY, frontend defaults to 127.0.0.1:8000 in DEV.
Refs #23 (comment #110).
Lays out the agreed shape from the design discussion: one flake at the
root with three nixosConfigurations (mqtt-ingest, db-host, app-host),
vendored Supabase docker-compose pointed at the external db-host,
Caddy → Kong → PostgREST/GoTrue, a Go MQTT→Postgres ingester stub,
deploy-rs node map, and a Gitea Actions workflow that deploys in
db → app → ingest order on push to main.
No real implementation yet — every host module has TODOs marking the
gaps (real hardware config, actual hostnames, HiveMQ packaging,
vendor the full upstream Supabase compose, etc.).
