Alexander Wainwright 82778b6deb docs: add remote deploy/list-generations to readme, tidy CLAUDE.md
Move deploy commands to readme.md. Update CLAUDE.md to reference
readme for commands and reflect the core/base module split and
current host list.

# CLAUDE.md
This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
See `readme.md` for deploy commands.
## Architecture
This is a NixOS flake repository managing multiple hosts with shared Home Manager configuration.
**Entry point:** `flake.nix` — defines all host configurations via `nixosConfigurations`. A shared `mkHomeManagerConfig` helper wires Home Manager into each host. The `inputs` are passed as `specialArgs` so all modules can access them.
**Three layers of system configuration:**
- `hosts/modules/core.nix` — minimal layer: user, SSH, fish, nix flakes/gc, locale. Enough to SSH in and rebuild.
- `hosts/modules/base.nix` — imports core + day-to-day tools: avahi, mosh, direnv, CLI tools, build toolchains.
- `hosts/modules/desktop.nix`, `laptop.nix`, `personal.nix`, `sway.nix`, `niri.nix` — additional layers for GUI hosts.
- `hosts/<name>/configuration.nix` — host-specific config that imports from `hosts/modules/`
**User-level (Home Manager):**
- `alex/core.nix` — base for all hosts (shell, git, tools, starship, fish, neovim)
- `alex/desktop.nix`, `alex/personal.nix` — conditionally included per host
**Hosts:**
| Host | Type | Notable |
|------|------|---------|
| `case` | Laptop | WireGuard, ZeroTier, Syncthing, Sway/Niri |
| `count` | Desktop | AMD GPU + ROCm, Ollama |
| `armitage` | Laptop | systemd-boot, latest kernel |
| `alt` | Proxmox LXC | Media server (Jellyfin, *arr stack) |
| `nightcity` | Proxmox LXC | Minimal server |
| `panam` | Proxmox LXC | Forgejo instance |
| `wintermute` | Proxmox LXC | Reverse proxy (Caddy) |
| `bootstrap` | Proxmox LXC | Minimal template for cloning new hosts |
**Theme:** Catppuccin Mocha (`alex/colours/catppuchin-mocha.nix`)
**Stable channel:** nixpkgs 25.11. Unstable packages are selectively overlaid via the `nixpkgs-unstable` input passed through `specialArgs`.
