Pull request overview

Note

Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.

Adds an installation step to configure mkinitcpio to preload USB/HID modules early, likely to improve keyboard/trackpad availability during boot/unlock.

Changes:

  • Introduces hid-modules.sh to write an early-hid-modules.conf mkinitcpio drop-in with required HID modules.
  • Wires the new script into the main hardware config runner (install/config/all.sh).
