The Steam Deck (nix-deck) kernel from Jovian-NixOS is expensive to
build. Pre-building it in CI saves significant time on updates.

- PRs: Fast flake check with clear status
- Main: check → build-and-cache (build only starts if check passes)
- Clearer failure attribution and status badges
Tradeoff: 2x nix-setup on main pushes, but better job structure.

nix build outputs progress info to stdout along with the store path.
Filter to only the /nix/store/ line to get the actual path.

Merge check and build-and-cache into one job to eliminate redundant
nix-setup step. Saves ~1m43s per run.
- PRs: checkout → nix-setup → flake check
- Main pushes: same + build/sign/cache all packages

- Add packages/beads and packages/gastown with shared definitions
- Expose custom-beads and custom-gastown in flake packages output
- Consolidate CI from matrix (8 parallel jobs) to single job with loop
- Saves ~12 minutes of redundant nix-setup time per run
- Uses ::group:: for collapsible log sections per package

Add packages output with:
- custom-* packages from packages/
- qt-pinned-jellyfin-media-player
Update CI to use hyphenated names (flake attrs can't have dots)
Focus on packages that actually need caching:
- custom.* packages from packages/
- qt-pinned.jellyfin-media-player (qt5webengine)
Avoids unrelated build failures (steam) and is much faster.
- Build all 6 machines (nix-book, boxy, zix790prors, nix-deck, john-endesktop, live-usb) in parallel matrix
- Only runs on push to main after check passes
- Signs closures with NIX_SIGNING_KEY secret
- Pushes to cache via SSH using CACHE_SSH_KEY, CACHE_HOST, CACHE_USER secrets
- Skips Darwin as no builder available
Required Gitea secrets:
- NIX_SIGNING_KEY: Cache signing private key
- CACHE_SSH_KEY: SSH key for cache server access
- CACHE_HOST: Cache server hostname
- CACHE_USER: SSH user for cache server

Uses johno/gitea-actions/nix-setup composite action for:
- Nix installation via DeterminateSystems/nix-installer-action
- Nix store caching via actions/cache@v4
- Per-repo cache isolation based on flake.lock hash
