docs: rework all pages to Artix Wiki quality

- index.md: add download link + stable release announcement
- building.md: add troubleshooting section (cache, squashfs, compression)
- ci.md: IA upload enabled, push trigger removed (manual dispatch only)
- development.md: add all gotchas from AGENTS.md (SDDM theme ordering,
  pipewire launcher, antergos-release in basestrap, CI changes)
- installer.md: document fixed issues (audio, SDDM, os-release)
- packages.md: add pipewire fork, antergos-sddm-theme, antergos-release
- launcher.md: expand with module configs
- init-systems.md: Chimera uses dinit, OpenRC marked as broken
- openrc.md: add broken warning banner
- wallpapers.md: default is antergos-wallpaper.png (not Adwaita Morning)
- overlays: clean up explanations and symlink behavior
- desktop-environments.md: add Discover note, clean up GNOME entry
- dinit.md, runit.md, s6.md: polish and add troubleshooting sections

# Building the ISO
Requires an **Artix-based** system with `artools` and `squashfs-tools`.
The ISO is built with `buildiso` (from Artix `artools` package) plus a customized profile. You need an **Artix-based** system to build.

```
Without this override, `buildiso` uses `/usr/share/artools/pacman.conf.d/iso-x86_64.conf` (from the artools package), which lacks the `[antergos-pkgs]` repository. The build will then try to fetch our custom packages (branding, Calamares config, wallpapers) from Artix repos and fail.
## Build
```bash
sudo -E ./buildiso -p antergos
```
> **⚠️ Use `./buildiso`, not `buildiso`.** The Artix system `/usr/bin/buildiso` lacks the `--overwrite='*'` flag, causing file conflicts between `calamares` and `calamares-branding-antergos-next` (both claim `/usr/share/calamares/branding/default/`). Our repo's `./buildiso` has it.

- **`sudo -E`** is required. Without `-E`, `WORKSPACE_DIR` is stripped and `load_profile()` returns empty `HAS_LIVE`/`LIVEUSER`, causing the build to fail early.
## Output
The ISO appears in `/var/lib/artools/buildiso/iso/antergos/`.
The ISO appears in `/var/lib/artools/buildiso/iso/antergos/`:
First build pulls ~5 GB from the internet. Subsequent builds use pacman cache. Go make a coffee. Or two. Maybe three.
```

└── antergos-<date>.sha1sum # Checksum
```
First build pulls ~5 GB from the internet (package downloads). Subsequent builds use pacman cache.
## Environment variables
| Variable | Purpose |
|----------|---------|
| `WORKSPACE_DIR` | Must point to repo root. `buildiso` looks for profiles under `$WORKSPACE_DIR/iso-profiles/` |
| `COMPRESSION` | Squashfs compression type (e.g. `zstd`). If unset, `mksquashfs` fails silently with a zero-size image |
| `COMPRESSION` | Squashfs compression type (e.g. `zstd`, `gzip`, `xz`). If unset, `mksquashfs` produces a zero-size sparse file instead of a valid squashfs |
## Custom packages repo
## Troubleshooting
The ISO pulls branding, Calamares config, and wallpapers from our custom repo. To use it on your system:
### "File conflict" errors during build
This means `--overwrite='*'` is not being passed to `basestrap`. Make sure you're using the repo's `./buildiso`, not the system one:
```bash
# Wrong — system buildiso without --overwrite:
buildiso -p antergos
# Correct:
./buildiso -p antergos
```
### Build fails with "HAS_LIVE is empty"
Forgetting `sudo -E`:
```bash
# Wrong — WORKSPACE_DIR not preserved:
sudo ./buildiso -p antergos
# Correct:
sudo -E ./buildiso -p antergos
```
### buildiso can't find our custom repo
The pacman config override is missing:
```bash
mkdir -p ~/.config/artools/pacman.conf.d
cp pacman.conf.d/iso-x86_64.conf ~/.config/artools/pacman.conf.d/
```
### Zero-size squashfs (ISO exists but is tiny)
`$COMPRESSION` is unset. Either set it in `profile.yaml` or pass it via environment:
```bash
export COMPRESSION=zstd
sudo -E ./buildiso -p antergos
```
Remove the stale image before retrying:
```bash
rm -rf /var/lib/artools/buildiso/iso/antergos/
```
### Corrupted pacman cache
If `basestrap` fails with checksum errors, clear the cache:
```bash
rm -rf /var/lib/artools/buildiso/pkg/antergos/cache/
```
Then rebuild.
## CI builds
The CI pipeline (`.github/workflows/build.yml`) handles all of the above automatically. It runs in an Artix container, sets `WORKSPACE_DIR`, overrides pacman config, mounts a 12 GB tmpfs, and uploads the resulting ISO to the Internet Archive.
Trigger CI manually from the GitHub Actions tab (push trigger is disabled).
## Local pacman repo
To use the custom packages repo on an installed system:
```ini
