Two real defects fixed on the way across.
The sudoers write was in the wrong order. The original echoed the rule straight
into /etc/sudoers.d, validated it afterwards, and chmod'd it later still. A
malformed file there breaks sudo COMPLETELY — and you cannot sudo to repair it,
so on a remote machine that is a rescue console — and so does one with loose
permissions, because sudo refuses to read its own configuration. Both of those
windows were live in the original ordering. grant_passwordless_sudo now writes a
temp file, runs visudo -c against it, and only then places it with install(1),
which applies the content and the 0440 mode in one step. Nothing reaches
/etc/sudoers.d that has not already been validated.
The .tmux.conf copy overwrote whatever was in the home on every run. lib/files.sh
adds the two shapes that stop this whole class of thing:
install_config installs when absent, does nothing when identical, and keeps
what the user wrote when it differs — printing the cp to take
ours, so the choice stays theirs
append_once wraps a block in named markers so a second run recognises its
own work; also lets a human see which lines came from this
script and remove them as a unit
append_once is what the five unguarded `cat >>` into .zshrc need when those
sections are ported — a second pass currently duplicates the starship init, the
nvim PATH, bun, deno and the aliases.
Passwordless sudo is asked separately from creating the account, because it is a
security posture rather than part of making a user, and the cost is stated: a key
that can log into this account is root without a further step. Officer's actual
requirement is stated too — os-user-shell.ts runs `sudo -n`, and a prompt it
cannot answer surfaces as a permissions error rather than a question — and
refusing records that consequence in the summary instead of a bare "skipped".
Verified: all three install_config outcomes, append_once writing exactly once
across two runs, visudo rejecting junk before anything is installed, and the
section reporting correctly against this host's existing account.
