gitops bae7c5b0ff Install the system-side assets from a script, not by hand
Everything outside $HOME was placed with `sudo install` while the desktop was
being built, which left two problems.

A fresh machine has none of it, and the failure is loud in the worst way:
config.rasi imports /usr/share/hyprcosmic/rofi/{palette,rules}.rasi by absolute
path, and a missing @import is an error rofi renders *in place of the
launcher*, not a warning it skips. Miss those two files and Super+A shows a
parse error.

And hand-installed files drift. Writing this found that /usr/bin/start-
hyprcosmic had silently gained a session-logging block during the blank-screen
debugging that never made it back to the copy under version control -- found
by diffing the two on a hunch, which is not a strategy. `--check` compares
every managed file against its source and exits non-zero on any difference.

PER_USER is not documentation. The script refuses to run unless every file
under config/ is listed as either shared or per-user, so adding one forces a
decision about which it is instead of letting it be quietly left out of both.

PREFIX is only half honoured and the script says so rather than pretending
otherwise: rofi's .rasi has no variables and the autostart file is explicitly
not a shell, so both name /usr/share/hyprcosmic literally. The warning finds
them by grep rather than from a hardcoded list, so it cannot go stale -- it
already turned up waybar/style.css, which I had not thought of.

No internal sudo. It probes the nearest existing ancestor of each destination
up front and dies with the exact command to re-run, rather than escalating on
its own or failing half way through.

The session entry point comes from the cosmic-session fork, which is a
separate checkout and may be absent; it is skipped with a note when it is, or
by --no-session. Binaries are out of scope: they are build outputs, so
comparing them byte-for-byte would only ever report a rebuild.

Verified all four modes against a DESTDIR staging tree and the live /usr:
drift and missing files are detected and exit 1, a re-install repairs them, an
unclassified file under config/ is refused, a bad argument is refused, modes
land as 644 and 755, and `--check` against /usr now reports all 8 files
matching.
