Offer the Aurora kernel payload as an RC (Aurora) installer channel - #84
Merged
Conversation
The same omarchy-dev package runs on both the Asahi and the Aurora payload, so the scripts that name a kernel cannot keep spelling out linux-asahi: on an Aurora machine pacman -Q would fail on a package that is not installed and the boot paths would point at a kernel that is not there. Add omarchy-hw-apple-kernel, which reads the marker the Aurora payload writes and answers linux-asahi when there is none. An Asahi install has no such file, so every one of these commands behaves exactly as it did.
The Aurora kernel ships a separate OS image, so it needs a channel of its own: a tester who picked rc must never be handed it, and it must not wait on the stable release train. Add rc-aurora alongside stable and rc. The descriptor moves to schema 3 so a build cannot half-know the channel set, and the endpoints are keyed by channel rather than a field per channel. The catalog format is untouched; the new channel is another signed catalog at its own key, and testers still take the installer itself from stable.
Record how the Aurora kernel and payload are built and promoted, what the lane deliberately does not do (no automatic kernel updates for installed Aurora Macs, no VM gate for the kernel itself), and how to remove the lane.
