feat: add obsidian CLI config for headless kyber

[shunkakinoki]

Summary

• Add config/obsidian/obsidian.json with {"cli": true} to enable Obsidian CLI on headless hosts
• Deploy via xdg.configFile only on kyber
• Fix alphabetical ordering in config/default.nix

Context

Obsidian 1.12+ CLI requires cli: true in ~/.config/obsidian/obsidian.json (discovered by extracting the asar - the key is cli, not enabledCli as docs suggest). Without a display server there's no way to toggle this via Settings UI, so we manage it declaratively.

Test plan

• home-manager switch on kyber deploys ~/.config/obsidian/obsidian.json
• obsidian list-vaults works without "CLI not enabled" error

---

Summary by cubic

Enable Obsidian CLI on the headless kyber host by provisioning ~/.config/obsidian/obsidian.json with "cli": true. Also fixes the module list order in config/default.nix.

• New Features

  • Adds config/obsidian to deploy xdg.configFile."obsidian/obsidian.json" with "cli": true, enabled only when isKyber is true.

• Refactors

  • Alphabetizes entries in config/default.nix.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Added Obsidian configuration support with CLI mode enabled.
  • Reordered module initialization sequence.

Walkthrough

Reorders module inclusions in the main config and adds a new Obsidian module with conditional initialization based on the host configuration. The module provides XDG configuration file management for Obsidian settings with CLI mode enabled.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Module Reordering config/default.nix	Reordered module inclusions: swapped positions of ./obsidian and ./openclaw, moved ./paperclip to later position in the module list.
Obsidian Configuration config/obsidian/default.nix, config/obsidian/obsidian.json	Added new Nix module defining XDG config file entry for obsidian/obsidian.json with conditional enablement based on inputs.host.isKyber. Configuration file enables CLI mode.

Code Review

This pull request introduces Obsidian configuration by adding a new module and an obsidian.json file, while also alphabetizing the imports in the main configuration. A review comment highlights that managing the configuration file via xdg.configFile results in a read-only symlink, which may prevent Obsidian from saving state or updating settings, and suggests using builtins.toJSON for a cleaner implementation if the file is intended to be read-only.

[gemini-code-assist]

Managing obsidian.json via xdg.configFile creates a read-only symlink in the Nix store. Since Obsidian writes to this file to track vaults and other settings, this will prevent the application from saving state (like newly opened vaults) and may cause errors during CLI operations that attempt to update the configuration. If you only need to ensure the CLI is enabled and are okay with the file being read-only, you can simplify the implementation by using text with builtins.toJSON instead of a separate file (and then delete obsidian.json). Otherwise, consider using a home.activation script to modify the file in-place if you need it to remain writable.

    text = builtins.toJSON { cli = true; };
    enable = isKyber;

Pull request overview

Adds a declarative Obsidian CLI enablement config for the headless “kyber” host, and wires it into the existing config/ module import list.

Changes:

• Add config/obsidian/obsidian.json with "cli": true for Obsidian 1.12+ CLI enablement.
• Add config/obsidian/default.nix to deploy that config via xdg.configFile gated by inputs.host.isKyber.
• Update config/default.nix to include the new ./obsidian module and restore alphabetical ordering around that area.
