Implements the structure requested in sees.ai/SeesDeployment#16 ("create a PR on nixos for the repository to use a similar structure").

What moves where

rpickler's home configuration — the persona (users/users/rpickler.nix), its module tree (users/modules/{hyprland,wezterm,neovim/**,opencode,sops,backup}.nix, monochrome.json) and the per-host layouts that lived as "@kansas"-style keys — moves verbatim into its own flake: richardpickler.com/home-rpickler (public, so flake consumers can fetch it; sops files/secrets stayed here).

home-rpickler exports module sets and owns no system:

hmModules.rpickler — home-manager module list (persona + identity.nix + dormant backup-seam.nix)
byHost."<hostname>" — per-machine overlays (users/hosts/), replacing the "@host" keys

What stays

The household glue is unchanged in shape: users/users/default.nix still assembles per-user homes and per-host selection — it just sources inputs.home-rpickler.hmModules.rpickler ++ byHost.<hostname> for rpickler. akrol/ninap stubs, modules/{home,gnome,other,default,firefox} and users/hosts/ keep working untouched. All of home-rpickler's pins follow this flake, so the persona evaluates against the same nixpkgs/inputs as before the split (useGlobalPkgs stays coherent).

Same structure the SeesDeployment workstation-flake/ aggregator consumes (its users/rpickler.nix adapter uses the identical hmModules/byHost surface) — one personal flake, two consumers.

Verification

nix flake update home-rpickler locks cleanly (all follows edges resolve).
Full home-config merge evaluates through the external persona on all three systems that use it:
nix eval .#nixosConfigurations.{sausage,kansas,pumpkin}.config.home-manager.users.rpickler.home.activationPackage.name → "home-manager-generation" (forces every option of the extracted tree: firefox, nixvim, walker, hyprland/wezterm modules, host overlays).

Fidelity notes (documented seams, details in home-rpickler README/comments)

modules/default.nix in home-rpickler is an args-shim (_module.args.inputs); its gnome.nix import was dead on the hyprland persona and is not imported there (kept in this repo for akrol/ninap).
sops.nix/backup.nix are dormant in home-rpickler (backup-seam.nix); encrypted secrets never left this repo. Re-enabling on a machine is one imports edit once the sops file is placed by the system layer.
kansas monitor list carried over without mkForce (TODO in home-rpickler:users/hosts/kansas.nix — flag if any system module ever declares monitors).

Extract rpickler's home config to richardpickler.com/home-rpickler 6b607a6e6a

The persona (users/users/rpickler.nix), its module tree (users/modules/
hyprland, wezterm, neovim, opencode, sops, backup, monochrome.json) and
the per-host layouts (formerly "@host" keys) move verbatim into their own
flake, richardpickler.com/home-rpickler — the "external home-manager
flake" structure (sees.ai/SeesDeployment issue #16).

The household keeps the glue unchanged: users/users/default.nix still
assembles per-user homes (now sourcing hmModules.rpickler +
byHost.<hostname> from the input), akrol/ninap stubs keep the local
path, modules/{home,gnome,other,default,firefox} stay for them.
home-rpickler's pins all follow this flake (single nixpkgs, same as
before the split).

Verified: nix flake update home-rpickler locks cleanly;
nixosConfigurations.{sausage,kansas,pumpkin}
  .config.home-manager.users.rpickler.home.activationPackage
all evaluate through the external persona.

Sync checkpoint for 838fce0 (merge of main + flake.lock: home-rpickler → 5788485, so the persona carries the merged neovim slice-4 / telescope work):

nix eval .#nixosConfigurations.pumpkin.config.home-manager.users.rpickler — GREEN: home.username=rpickler, 22 home packages, persona resolving through the external flake at the pinned rev.
Non-blocking: evaluation warns nixvim: flake output homeManagerModules has been renamed to homeModules. Harmless for now; worth renaming the reference when nixvim pins next roll forward.

All consumer pins (nixpkgs, nixpkgs-unstable, home-manager, firefox-addons, nixvim, sops-nix, elephant, walker, llm-agents) follow this flake, so the persona evaluates against exactly the same instances it used pre-extraction. No further changes needed from my side — ready for your review.
