feat(home-manager): add dev/observability CLIs and group into modules

[shunkakinoki]

What

Adds a batch of developer and observability CLI tooling to the home-manager config, organized library-specifically (cohesive vendor/ecosystem toolchains as programs/ modules; unrelated single-vendor CLIs stay flat).

New programs/ modules

• grafana - grafana-loki, grafana-alloy
• vector - vector
• protobuf - buf, ghz, grpcurl, protobuf
• victoriametrics - victorialogs, victoriametrics, victoriatraces (moved from the flat list)

Extended existing modules

• k8s - +stern
• terraform - +opentofu

Flat additions to packages/default.nix (unrelated-vendor CLIs)

_1password-cli, angle-grinder, bandwhich, choose, croc, fx, gh-dash, git-absorb, gron, hexyl, iperf3, jnv, lnav, mtr, nmap, oha, opentelemetry-collector-contrib, process-compose, rclone, restic, sops, termshark, tig, trippy, websocat

Why

The original ask was to install a set of CLIs (Loki / observability led). Organized per the repo convention: cohesive vendor or single-technology toolchains become programs/<name> modules (like the existing k8s / prometheus / terraform); unrelated single-vendor CLIs stay flat in packages/default.nix.

Notes / decisions

• Databases dropped - duckdb, usql, pgcli, harlequin, pgweb, atlas, dbmate, goose, sqlc were considered but excluded (not in use).
• vmctl not added - nixpkgs vmctl is an NVMe/QEMU testing tool, not the VictoriaMetrics migration tool; the real vmctl already ships in the victoriametrics package.
• Heavy daemons skipped - tempo, mimir, pyroscope, consul, nomad, vault.

Verification

• nix fmt - clean (0 changed)
• nix-instantiate --parse - all changed files OK
• nix eval .#darwinConfigurations.aarch64-darwin.system.drvPath - evaluates to a valid derivation (config builds)

Summary by cubic

  • Extended modules: k8s adds stern; terraform adds opentofu.
  • Standalone CLIs in packages/default.nix: _1password-cli, angle-grinder, bandwhich, choose, croc, fx, gh-dash, git-absorb, gron, hexyl, iperf3, jnv, lnav, mtr, nmap, oha, opentelemetry-collector-contrib, process-compose, rclone, restic, sops, termshark, tig, trippy, vector, websocat.

PR Summary

Bulk expansion of the home-manager package set with new developer and observability CLIs, plus reorganization of existing tools into topic modules so related multi-package toolchains live together. New per-topic modules are introduced for grafana, protobuf, and victoriametrics, while stern moves into programs/k8s and opentofu joins programs/terraform. A second commit drops the single-package programs/vector module and keeps vector flat in packages/default.nix to match the convention for single-binary tools.

• Added ~30 new top-level CLIs to home-manager/packages/default.nix (e.g. _1password-cli, bandwhich, croc, fx, gh-dash, git-absorb, gron, hexyl, iperf3, jnv, lnav, mtr, nmap, oha, opentelemetry-collector-contrib, process-compose, rclone, restic, sops, termshark, tig, trippy, vector, websocat, ...).
• Created programs/grafana (grafana-alloy, grafana-loki), programs/protobuf (buf, ghz, grpcurl, protobuf), and programs/victoriametrics (victorialogs, victoriametrics, victoriatraces); registered each in programs/default.nix in alphabetical order.
• Moved stern out of the flat list into programs/k8s, and the victoria* trio into the new victoriametrics module (no duplicates remain).
• Added opentofu alongside terraform in programs/terraform.
• Removed the single-package programs/vector module introduced in the first commit and added vector flat to packages/default.nix instead.

Issues

1 potential issue found:

• A coherent batch of networking CLIs (bandwhich, iperf3, mtr, nmap, oha, termshark, trippy, websocat) is added flat to packages/default.nix instead of grouped into a new programs/network (or similar) module, missing the same grouping pattern this PR establishes. → Autofix

2 issues already resolved

• gh-dash and git-absorb are added to the flat packages/default.nix even though programs/gh and programs/git modules already exist — moving them would better match this PR's "group modules" goal.
• opentelemetry-collector-contrib is added at the top of packages/default.nix rather than placed in one of the new observability modules (grafana, vector, or victoriametrics) it's conceptually paired with.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR reorganizes Home Manager's package and program configuration by creating four new dedicated program modules for Grafana, Protobuf, Vector, and VictoriaMetrics; wiring them into the programs registry; and curating the base package list with new CLI tools while moving stern and victoria\* packages to their respective specialized modules.

Changes

Home Manager Program Module Reorganization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Wire new programs into registry home-manager/programs/default.nix	Programs for grafana, protobuf, vector, and victoriametrics are imported in the let section and included in the returned programs list.
Implement grafana, protobuf, vector, and victoriametrics modules home-manager/programs/grafana/default.nix, home-manager/programs/protobuf/default.nix, home-manager/programs/vector/default.nix, home-manager/programs/victoriametrics/default.nix	New Home Manager modules define package lists: grafana installs grafana-alloy and grafana-loki; protobuf installs buf, ghz, grpcurl, and protobuf; vector installs vector; victoriametrics installs victorialogs, victoriametrics, and victoriatraces.
Curate base packages and update specialized modules home-manager/packages/default.nix, home-manager/programs/k8s/default.nix, home-manager/programs/terraform/default.nix	Base package list is expanded with new CLI tools (1Password, angle-grinder, bandwhich, choose, croc, fx, gh-dash, git-absorb, gron, hexyl, iperf3, jnv, lnav, mtr, nmap, oha, opentelemetry-collector-contrib, process-compose, rclone, restic, termshark, trippy, websocat) and pruned of stern and victoria\* packages which migrate to dedicated modules. Kubernetes module adds stern and Terraform module adds opentofu.

Code Review

This pull request reorganizes and adds several packages and program modules to the Home Manager configuration. Key changes include moving VictoriaMetrics tools and Stern to dedicated program modules, adding new modules for Grafana and Protobuf, and introducing OpenTofu to the Terraform module. Feedback suggests moving the newly added 'vector' package directly to 'packages/default.nix' instead of creating a dedicated program module for it, in order to maintain consistency with the repository's convention for single-package tools.
