The NixOS module was importing lib directly with the host's pkgs,
causing image customization to use the host's guestfs-tools instead
of vmix's locked version. guestfs-tools 1.52.2 (from host nixpkgs)
has a bug that overwrites /boot/grub/grub.cfg with resolv.conf
content, breaking VM boot.
Now vmixLib is built once in flake.nix with vmix's own nixpkgs and
passed through the overlay to pkgs.vmixLib. Removes overlay.nix and
module.nix as the logic is inlined in flake.nix.

Images:
- laptopUpstream: bare OS install with AHCI, no templates
- laptopSlim: essentials only (debloat, registry tweaks)
- laptop: full (essentials + all apps)
- win10/win11 images use rec for self-references
CLI:
- preserve recovery partition (4) during disk copy
- expand partition 3 up to partition 4 boundary
- remove VNC CLI flag (use vncDisplay in nix configs instead)
Flake:
- add devShell with vmix alias and PS1 prompt

Extract all vmix CLI logic (build, copy, run) from flake.nix into
cli.nix. flake.nix is now 30 lines — just wiring.

Laptop images now use AHCI storage + e1000 network instead of VirtIO.
This fixes "inaccessible boot device" on real hardware — the AHCI→NVMe
driver transition is handled by Windows, unlike VirtIO→NVMe which isn't.
- makeImage: useAHCI flag switches disk to ide-hd and network to e1000
- customizeImage: auto-detects useAHCI from original image, propagates it
- win10/win11 laptop images: useAHCI = true
- vmix run: --ahci flag for running laptop images in QEMU
- generalize: PlainText password tags in OOBE unattend XML

SDL display:
- try SDL, auto-fallback to headless if it fails (no crash)
- SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 to avoid wayland socket path issues
- suppress XDG_RUNTIME_DIR warnings
Disk copy:
- zap-all before writing to clear old partition tables
- delete recovery partition (4) before resizing partition 3
- use parted resizepart (preserves partition GUID for BCD)
- remote: nix-shell for sgdisk/parted/ntfsresize on target
- remote: lz4 compression for faster streaming
- remote: pv progress bar with disk size
- -y/--yes flag to skip confirmation prompt
Generalize:
- delay-oobe-run=true defers OOBE + activation to real hardware
- clean cached Autounattend from Windows\Panther before sysprep
- taskkill sysprep.exe on first login (CopyProfile artifact)

CLI:
- `vmix run <qcow2>` boots image with QEMU (SDL if DISPLAY, snapshot mode)
- --generalize supports delay-oobe-run=true to defer OOBE + activation
to first boot on real hardware (for physical disk deployments)
Templates:
- essentials.virtioDrivers: installs VirtIO drivers only (no guest agent)
used in laptop bundle for network access during Office download
- generalize: delayOobeRun flag controls sysprep /shutdown vs /reboot
delays OOBE, user creation and HWID activation to target device
Build:
- suppress XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and homeless-shelter warnings in SDL mode
- remove invalid ICH9-LMB global properties
