feat: DE selector with packagechooser, video wallpaper fix, slideshow redesign

- Replace dead init selector (packagechooser.conf, 303 lines) with packagechooser_de.conf + packagechooser_dm.conf (netinstall-add method) - Remove init SVGs (dinit, openrc, runit, s6) - Clean netinstall.yaml — Desktop group removed, DEs added dynamically - Update calamares-online/settings.conf with packagechooser@de + @dm instances - Fix set-antergos-wallpaper.sh: Array() not [], no reloadConfig() - Rewrite installer, launcher, and live-overlay docs

+## Desktop selector

-Users choose from: **Plasma**, **Xfce**, **Cinnamon**, **MATE**, **LXQt**, **i3**, **Sway**, **Hyprland**, **COSMIC**, or **No Desktop**.
+The install flow begins with a dedicated desktop environment picker (`packagechooser@de`) before the package selection tree. This replaces the old netinstall-based "Desktop" group that installed all DEs when the parent checkbox was clicked.

-Implemented as a separate `packagechooser` instance with `method: legacy`. "No Desktop" installs only the base system (TTY/login — no DE, no display manager).
+The selector uses `method: netinstall-add` — the chosen DE's package group is dynamically added to the netinstall tree. This means users can still refine their DE packages in the subsequent netinstall step, seeing only their selected DE rather than all available options.

 ## Branding

 Custom branding lives in the `calamares-branding-antergos-next` package, installed to `/etc/calamares/branding/default/`. The `componentName` in `branding.desc` must match its directory name — this is enforced by Calamares (see `Branding.cpp`).

 The `bootloader` module auto-detects the GRUB target architecture using the system's EFI bitness and CPU type. For UEFI x86_64, it installs with `--target=x86_64-efi`. For Legacy BIOS boots, it falls back to `--target=i386-pc`. There is no configuration key to override this — a system booted in BIOS mode will always receive an i386-pc bootloader.

 ## Launcher

@@ -29,14 +29,30 @@ Exec=sudo -E calamares-next

 The online settings file specifies `modules-search: [ local ]`, which resolves to the directory containing the settings file itself. After `SetConfig()` copies the file to `/etc/calamares/settings.conf`, modules are loaded from `/etc/calamares/modules/`. The `calamares-online/modules/` directory in the live-overlay is not used as a module source during installation — its contents exist only as a reference; the active module configs are those under `calamares/modules/`.

+## Calamares sequence
+
+The installer runs two `packagechooser` instances in sequence, followed by the `netinstall` module:
+
+| Step | Instance | Module Config | Method | Purpose |
+|------|----------|---------------|--------|---------|
+| 4 | `packagechooser@de` | `packagechooser_de.conf` | `netinstall-add` | Desktop environment picker (required, default Plasma) |
+| 5 | `packagechooser@dm` | `packagechooser_dm.conf` | `netinstall-select` | Display manager picker (required, default SDDM) |
+| 6 | `netinstall` | `netinstall.yaml` | — | Refine packages, add optional groups |
+
+### How `netinstall-add` works
+
+When the user selects a DE, `packagechooser@de` writes a group definition to the `netinstallAdd` global storage key. When the `netinstall` module loads, it reads this key and appends the DE's package group to the tree. This allows users to see and refine the packages for their chosen DE — for example, deselecting specific applications.
+
+The DM selector uses `netinstall-select`, which marks the chosen DM group (e.g. SDDM) as checked in the netinstall tree. Both keys are read by the netinstall module's `onActivate()` method at runtime. See `NetInstallPage.cpp` in the Calamares source for details.
+
+### Available DE groups
+
+Each DE item in `packagechooser_de.conf` includes a `netinstall:` field with its full package list. The groups are mutually exclusive — selecting a new DE replaces the previously selected one in the netinstall tree. Once added, the group behaves identically to a group defined in `netinstall.yaml`: users can expand it, toggle subgroups, or remove individual packages.
+
 ## Pacman log capture

 During installation, the launcher polls for the existence of a pacman log file within the chroot (at `/tmp/calamares-root-*/var/log/pacman.log`). When detected, a copy is written to `~/pacman-install.log`. No terminal windows are opened to display installation progress.

 ### `etc/calamares-online/settings.conf`

-One `packagechooser` instance for DM selection (`packagechooser@dm`) using `netinstall-select`.
+Defines two `packagechooser` instances:

-### Offline config (archived)
+- `packagechooser@de` — desktop environment selector using `method: netinstall-add`. Writes the selected DE's package group to the `netinstallAdd` global storage key. The DE group is dynamically appended to the netinstall tree when the netinstall module loads.
+- `packagechooser@dm` — display manager selector using `method: netinstall-select`. Marks the chosen DM group as checked in the netinstall tree.

-The offline install mode was removed in v2026.07.16 — it was never truly offline (all DE packages were still downloaded via basestrap). The configs are preserved at `iso-profiles/antergos/calamares-offline/` for reference.
+The `modules-search: [ local ]` directive resolves module configs from the same directory as the settings file (`/etc/calamares/modules/`).
+
+### `etc/calamares/modules/` vs `etc/calamares-online/modules/`
+
+- `calamares/modules/` — active module configs at runtime. The settings file resolves modules from this directory after being copied to `/etc/calamares/`.
+- `calamares-online/modules/` — reference copies and additional modules (e.g. `partition.conf`, `mount.conf`) that are used during the online install flow. These are not loaded directly but serve as the source of truth for the install sequence.

 ### `etc/calamares/modules/basestrap.conf`

 Controls package installation during bootstrapping. The `operations` list includes packages that must be installed with `--overwrite`. This is where `antergos-release` is listed to ensure it overwrites `/usr/lib/os-release` from the `filesystem` package.

+### `etc/calamares-online/modules/*.conf`
+
+Additional modules required for the online install flow:
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `initcpio.conf` | mkinitcpio generation |
+| `initcpiocfg.conf` | mkinitcpio configuration |
+| `locale.conf` | Locale and timezone |
+| `mount.conf` | Filesystem mounting |
+| `partition.conf` | Disk partitioning |
+| `umount.conf` | Unmounting |
+| `users.conf` | User creation |
+| `welcome.conf` | Welcome page |
+
 ### `usr/share/applications/calamares-config-switcher.desktop`

 Has `NoDisplay=true` to hide it from the app menu. The upstream Artix "Install Artix Linux" entry is suppressed this way while keeping the binary available.
+
+## Module configs removed
+
+The following files were removed during the transition away from the init system selector:
+
+- `packagechooser.conf` — the old init system selector (dinit/openrc/runit/s6). Replaced by `packagechooser_de.conf` (DE selector).
+- `images/` — SVG icons for init systems (dinit.svg, openrc.svg, runit.svg, s6.svg). No longer needed.
+
+These changes were made in the v2026.07.24 release cycle.
+
+## DE selector package lists
+
+The two copies of `packagechooser_de.conf` differ in their package granularity:
+
+- `calamares/modules/packagechooser_de.conf` — **explicit package lists** (e.g. all 44 Plasma packages listed individually). Users see the full list in the netinstall refinement step.
+- `calamares-online/modules/packagechooser_de.conf` — **meta/group packages** (e.g. `plasma`, `xfce4`, `mate`). Simpler but less granular for refinement.
+
+Both use the same DE IDs and `method: netinstall-add`. The active copy at runtime is the one in `calamares/modules/`.
