The script was root-only and hard-coded /etc/nix/nix.conf and
/etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts, making it always fail (non-fatally) when
called as a non-root SSH user from create-proxmox-resource.sh.
Add dual-mode detection based on EUID:
- root (multi-user/daemon): existing behavior unchanged -- writes
/etc/nix/nix.conf, /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts, restarts nix-daemon
- non-root (single-user): writes ~/.config/nix/nix.conf and
~/.ssh/known_hosts, creates the config file if missing, skips the
daemon restart (single-user has no daemon), defaults REMOTE_BUILDER_KEY
to ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 instead of /root/.ssh/id_ed25519
create-proxmox-resource.sh already calls the script without sudo (as the
SSH user), so no change is needed there -- the script now handles both
cases on its own.

nix was installed as root on pve1 (the codex-setup.sh root path, meant
for container/Codex environments), making nix build require sudo there.
After cleaning up the root install and reinstalling as the SSH user
(wayne), nix is owned by that user and runs directly without sudo.
create-proxmox-resource.sh: drop sudo_pfx from nix build in both
remote scripts. The SSH user owns the store after reinstall; nix build
goes through the nix daemon-or-store directly. sudo stays on pct/qm/pvesh
(cluster IPC) and the disko image-writer script (writes to disk).
codex-setup.sh: add build-users-group = (empty) to the user nix.conf
written by the non-root install path. Guards against a stale
/etc/nix/nix.conf from a prior root install (which sets
build-users-group = nixbld) silently breaking single-user builds.
Manual cleanup required once on each Proxmox node that had root's nix:
sudo rm -rf /nix /etc/nix
sudo rm -f /etc/profile.d/nix.sh /etc/profile.d/nix-daemon.sh
for i in $(seq 1 10); do sudo userdel nixbld$i 2>/dev/null||true; done
sudo groupdel nixbld 2>/dev/null || true
After that, the next create-proxmox-resource.sh run auto-reinstalls
nix as the SSH user via codex-setup.sh.

nix on pve1 was installed as root (single-user), so wayne can't access
/nix/var/nix/db/big-lock without root -- nix build genuinely needs sudo
there. The previous fix to drop sudo_pfx was wrong.
The real fix is node config: add nix to wayne's NOPASSWD rules in
sudoers on pve1 (see below). pct/qm/pvesh already have NOPASSWD and
work fine in non-interactive SSH heredocs; nix was just missing from
that list.
On pve1 as root:
echo 'wayne ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: ALL' | tee /etc/sudoers.d/wayne-nopasswd
chmod 440 /etc/sudoers.d/wayne-nopasswd

nix build runs through the nix daemon and doesn't need root; the
tooling-check step already confirms the SSH user can run nix directly
(ensure_nix_profile + command -v nix). sudo without a TTY blocks
non-interactive SSH heredoc sessions with "a terminal is required".
Keep sudo on pct/qm/pvesh (cluster IPC) and the disko image-writer
script (writes to block devices) -- those actually require root.

Single-user Nix installations are owned by root. When PROXMOX_SSH_USER
is not root, prefix the remote nix build command with sudo_prefix, same
as the Proxmox tool invocations. Passes sudo_prefix as an extra arg to
both the LXC tarball and VM disko image build heredocs.

PROXMOX_SSH_USER was changed from root to wayne, but all remote pvesh/qm/pct
invocations assumed root. When run as a non-root user these commands fail with
ipcc_send_rec errors because they can't reach the pve-cluster IPC socket.
Adds a global sudo_prefix (empty when PROXMOX_SSH_USER=root, "sudo" otherwise)
and applies it to every remote Proxmox command in the script, including the
duplicate-host heredoc check, pvesh nextid, vmid existence checks, resource
destruction, and all create/start commands. Removes the now-redundant local
sudo_prefix definition that was previously only in the VM image build branch.

Backs up a VM/CT on pve1 (snapshot mode by default, so the source stays
online), relays the archive to pve-test, restores it there with fresh
MAC addresses (--unique), and deletes both the source and relayed
backup copies afterward -- no ad hoc backup files left behind on
either node.

pve1.sweet.home is production; scripts/env.sh now also defines
PVE_TEST_HOST for a separate sandbox node, individually targetable via
--node/PROXMOX_HOST. Tooling defaults are unchanged (still pve1) -- the
new restriction (Claude defaults to pve-test unless explicitly told to
use pve1) is documented as policy in CLAUDE.md, not enforced in the
scripts.

The kernel's NFS client filesystem doesn't set FS_USERNS_MOUNT, so mounting
NFS from inside any non-init user namespace -- exactly what an unprivileged
LXC container's UID-mapped root runs in -- is rejected at the VFS layer
with EPERM, regardless of Proxmox's mount=nfs;nfs4 container feature (which
only patches the AppArmor layer). Confirmed live on the redeployed lxc-docker
container: TCP to the NFS server's port 2049 succeeds, the server's export
table matches the container's IP, and mount.nfs: Operation not permitted
still fires immediately with no corresponding denial anywhere in the
server's own logs -- a kernel-level rejection that no amount of DNS/
automount/export tweaking (this branch's earlier commits) could ever fix.
modules/platforms/lxc.nix now keys proxmoxLXC.privileged off hostName
("docker" -> true) rather than a blanket false, since build-types/docker.nix
is also composed for linode-docker/proxmox-docker, which don't import
proxmox-lxc.nix at all -- setting this option there would break their eval.
create-proxmox-resource.sh reads the value back via a new
flake_target_lxc_privileged helper instead of hardcoding --unprivileged 1,
so the two stay in sync automatically for every lxc-* target.

create-proxmox-resource.sh's `qm create` never passed --agent, so despite
services.qemuGuest.enable = true being set on every host, Proxmox never
created the virtio-serial channel the guest agent needs -- qm guest exec
and the UI's IP-address display silently never worked for any VM this
script created. Found while live-testing every lxc-*/proxmox-* build type
against pve.sweet.home for an end-to-end flake audit.
Also registers a fresh sops age key for lxc-gui (no prior registration
existed), generated while testing that target live -- needed before
lxc-gui can be deployed with working secrets.

variables.nix's nixCacheHostKey no longer matched nix-cache's actual SSH
host key (confirmed via ssh-keyscan against the live container), so every
declaratively-configured client's programs.ssh.knownHosts trusted the
wrong key -- distributed builds would fail host-key verification. Also,
modules/nix-cache/remote-builder-client.nix hardcoded sshKey to
/root/.ssh/nixremote, but the `server` host only has its own default
/root/.ssh/id_ed25519 installed (confirmed live via qm guest-agent) --
that file was never even present, so the build machine config pointed at
nothing. Standardize on each client's own default identity, matching the
per-host-key pattern vars.remoteBuilderAuthorizedKeys already uses instead
of a shared/differently-named keypair, and add
scripts/secrets/sync-nix-cache-host-key.sh (wired into
codex-maintenance.sh's --check) so the host-key drift doesn't silently
recur next time nix-cache is rebuilt or recreated.

scripts/ had grown to 10 top-level scripts covering three distinct
concerns (sops/age + SSH host-key management, Proxmox deployment, and
repo-wide bootstrap/CI) with no grouping. Move the key-management scripts
(backup-admin-key.sh, rotate-admin-key.sh, prepare-host-key.sh,
sync-host-keys.sh) into scripts/secrets/, and the Proxmox scripts
(create-proxmox-resource.sh, configure-nix-cache-client.sh) into
scripts/proxmox/; leave env.sh, codex-setup.sh, codex-maintenance.sh, and
bump-nixpkgs-release.sh at the top level (frequently hand-typed or pure
shared config) and scripts/lib/ as-is.
Updates every cross-reference: each moved script's repo_root computation
(now one directory deeper), shellcheck source= directives, inter-script
paths (create-proxmox-resource.sh's call into sync-host-keys.sh and its
remote bootstrap of configure-nix-cache-client.sh on the Proxmox node),
and every doc/module mention (CLAUDE.md's Scripts section reorganized to
match, README.md, docs/auto-installer.md, docs/proxmox-images.md,
modules/installer/common.nix, modules/platforms/lxc.nix). CI workflows
need no change -- they only invoke codex-maintenance.sh, which didn't
move. Verified via bash -n, shellcheck (no new warnings beyond the
pre-existing SC1091/SC2029/SC2095 baseline), and live dry-runs of
sync-host-keys.sh --all and create-proxmox-resource.sh --list from their
new paths.
