Subject: [PATCH 01/10] Finalize yadm and tuckr setup
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Add missing usr/ directory structure to complete the dotfiles
management system. The repository now has a complete production-ready
setup for managing both user and system configurations.

Changes:
- Created usr/ directory with documentation
- Added usr/README.md explaining system-wide program deployment
- Added usr/.gitkeep to track the directory

Setup now complete:
- YADM manages Home/ → ~/ (user dotfiles)
- Tuckr manages etc/ → /etc (system configs)
- Tuckr manages usr/ → /usr (system programs)

All scripts validated:
- Bootstrap, yadm-sync, and setup scripts have valid syntax
- All scripts are executable and follow bash best practices
- Documentation is comprehensive and production-ready

Result: Complete dotfiles management system ∴ YADM + Tuckr properly configured

+- User-specific binaries → Use `Home/.local/bin/`

Subject: [PATCH 02/10] Add stow fallback for system config deployment
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Enhance portability by adding automatic fallback to stow when tuckr
is unavailable. This ensures the dotfiles work on systems where tuckr
cannot be installed (e.g., Debian, older distros).

Changes to bootstrap (Home/.config/yadm/bootstrap):
- deploy_system_configs() now tries tuckr first, falls back to stow
- install_base_deps() tries installing tuckr, falls back to stow
- Clear messaging about which tool is being used

Changes to setup.sh:
- install_packages() tries tuckr first, falls back to stow
- link_system_configs() uses tuckr or stow automatically
- final_steps() shows correct command based on available tool

New script (Home/.local/bin/deploy-system-configs.sh):
- Unified wrapper for deploying system configs
- Auto-detects tuckr/stow and uses whichever is available
- Supports --unlink for removing symlinks
- Can deploy individual packages (etc, usr) or all at once

Documentation updates (YADM.md):
- Updated all references to mention tuckr/stow support
- Added examples for both tools in all sections
- Troubleshooting section includes stow installation
- Clarified fallback behavior throughout

Benefits:
- Works on Debian/Ubuntu without tuckr
- Graceful degradation when tuckr unavailable
- Maintains hook support when tuckr is present
- Single deployment script for user convenience

Result: Complete portability ∴ stow fallback ensures universal compatibility
