nevaforget 1679fcfb30 Make /opt/moonarch root-owned for multi-user support

Remove chown from archinstall custom-commands so the repo stays
root:root. Use sudo for git operations in update.sh. Any user with
sudo can now run moonarch-update without owning the repo.

Decisions

2026-03-29 – /opt/moonarch stays root-owned, no chown to user

Who: Dominik, Ragnar
Why: Multi-user system — chown to UID 1000 locks out other users from moonarch-update
Tradeoffs: sudo required for git operations in update.sh vs. simpler user-owned repo
How: Repo stays at /opt/moonarch owned by root:root. update.sh uses sudo git for fetch/pull. All scripts already use sudo for system-level operations, so this is consistent.

2026-03-29 – Add transform.sh for existing Arch+Wayland systems

Who: Dominik, Ragnar
Why: Users with existing Arch+Wayland setups should be able to adopt Moonarch without reinstalling
Tradeoffs: Hard overwrite of all configs (user + system) vs. selective/merge approach — chose hard overwrite for simplicity and consistency
How: New transform.sh with pre-flight summary, backup, DM conflict resolution, and --dry-run flag. Shared helpers extracted to lib.sh.
