daniil-berg 07a78b6012 feat(home): add declarative Neovim via nixvim
New `nixvim` flake input (release branch, follows nixpkgs) drives the whole
editor from `modules/nvim.nix`, wired into `homeModules.default`. Minimal LSP
baseline (`nixd`, `bashls`) exposed as `local.nvim.lspServers`; blink-cmp,
Telescope, neo-tree, lualine, treesitter, colorizer, gitsigns, toggleterm, and a
catppuccin theme. which-key groups plus `<leader>?`/`<leader>sk` give an
in-editor keybind cheatsheet; per-directory session persistence with
`sessionoptions` + a `PersistenceSavePre` neo-tree close for clean layouts.

# Neovim, configured declaratively via nixvim. The editor — plugins, LSP,
# completion, keymaps — is defined here and pinned by the flake lock; nothing is
# downloaded at runtime, unlike an imperative distro (NvChad/LazyVim). The nixvim
# home-manager module that provides `programs.nixvim` is imported for consumers by
# `homeModules.default` in flake.nix, so this file only sets options.
#
# Consumer knobs (the option-with-default contract): `local.nvim.enable` to opt
# out wholesale, `local.nvim.colorscheme` to swap theme in one line, and
# `local.nvim.lspServers` to reshape the language set. Everything else is
# opinionated — but since nixvim exposes every plugin as an option, a consumer can
# still override any `programs.nixvim.plugins.*` directly from their own config.

lspconfig server names to enable under `plugins.lsp.servers.<name>`.
Each must exist in nixvim's server list and its binary in nixpkgs. The
public default is deliberately minimal (Nix + shell); a consumer sets its
own language set here and any per-server tuning a pick needs (e.g.
rust_analyzer's `installRustc`) via `programs.nixvim.plugins.lsp.servers`.
Note: standalone Lua wants "lua_ls", but Lua embedded in Nix strings is
invisible to any LSP, so it is not needed just to edit this config.
