- Enable test matrix for arch, debian, ubuntu, fedora, centos
- Mount /nix Docker volume only on Arch so image-local Nix installs remain visible on other distros
- Keep shared Nix cache volume for all distros

- Add pyproject.toml to define package-manager as a Python application
- Declare setuptools build backend (setuptools.build_meta) and wheel
- Expose CLI entrypoint via [project.scripts] as `pkgmgr = pkgmgr.cli:main`
- Define PyYAML as a base runtime dependency
- Update flake.nix to build pkgmgr via python311Packages.buildPythonApplication
- Use format = "pyproject" and src = ./. (current git checkout)
- Add setuptools and wheel to nativeBuildInputs for the backend
- Add pyyaml to propagatedBuildInputs to match pyproject dependencies
- Provide a devShell that includes the built pkgmgr, git, and Ansible
- Expose `nix run .#pkgmgr` and `nix run .#default` as flake apps
- Fix Makefile install target for Nix shells
- Treat install as a no-op when IN_NIX_SHELL is set (skip venv / pip)
- In non-Nix environments, create ~/.venvs/pkgmgr, install deps, and
wire automatic activation into shell rc files
- Keep Arch/Manjaro-specific aur_builder/yay setup behind pacman check
- Adjust PKGBUILD prepare() to correctly copy the full project tree
- Stop excluding the top-level src directory from rsync
- Still exclude .git, .github, pkg, and srcpkg
This unifies the installation workflow across Arch, Nix, and local venvs,
and ensures pkgmgr builds cleanly inside the Docker-based Nix devShell tests.

- Add .dockerignore rules to prevent Arch package artifacts from entering the build context
- Rework Dockerfile to remove stale package artifacts before makepkg and use a dev entry script
- Introduce docker-entry-dev.sh to always rebuild pkgmgr from the mounted /src tree
- Update Makefile 'test' target to rebuild pkgmgr inside the container before running tests
- Fix predictable makepkg failures caused by residual *.pkg.tar.* files

- Added aur_builder_setup target to Makefile
- Automatically detects Arch/Manjaro via pacman
- Creates aur_builder user and group with sudoers permissions
- Installs yay if not already present
- Skips AUR setup gracefully on non-Arch systems
