Add cage as the recommended greetd backend (lite mode: Kitty-only, no gSlapper wallpapers at startup). Hyprland greeter support remains functional but is marked deprecated with ~3 month removal timeline. Includes design spec, implementation plan, installer/Nix/postinstall integration, docs, launcher script, and verify script. Addresses #69.

Add platform detection (runit vs systemd), xbps package installs, _greeter account handling, runit greetd enable, and conditional gSlapper skip for cage. Includes Void docs and verify script. Addresses #53. Runtime testing on Void hardware still required.

Summary
Phase 1 of #53: extend the Go installer for Void Linux (
xbps+ runit), not standalone shell recipes.cmd/installer/platform.go): reads/etc/os-release, detects systemd vs runit, resolves_greeter//var/lib/_greeteron Void/var/service/greetd, disables conflictingagetty-tty1docs-src/getting-started/void-linux.md) andscripts/verify-void-installer.sh(static checks — passes locally)This branch also includes the in-progress cage greeter work (#69) that Void support builds on (cage as recommended backend, Hyprland deprecation warnings).
Runit concerns (honest status)
This is a draft because runit integration is the highest-risk piece and is not yet validated on real Void hardware:
/etc/sv/greetd→/var/service/greetd; disableagetty-tty1_greeteraccountgreeterelsewheresubstituteGreeterPaths()+ dynamicm.greeterUserin greetd configExpect iteration after someone runs the installer on an actual Void box. The verify script only checks source structure — it does not exercise runit or greetd at runtime.
Test plan
go run ./cmd/installer/on a fresh Void Linux VM (runit, no desktop)_greeterexists and greetd config uses correct user/home paths/var/service/greetdsymlink andagetty-tty1disabledscripts/verify-void-installer.shpasses in CI or pre-mergeOut of scope (later phases)
Closes #53 when runtime-validated and merged.
