Subject: fix(archsetup): bug fixes, locale support, and code improvements

Bug fixes:
- Initialize errors_encountered at script start (not in intro)
- Capture correct exit code in retry_install loop
- Add missing error_fatal parameters
- Fix unclosed quote in error message
- Quote variables in pacman_install/aur_install commands
- Standardize done statements (remove trailing semicolons)

New features:
- Locale selection prompt with 8 common options + custom entry
- Auto-derive wireless region from locale
- Extract zfs-replicate to separate script file
- Make archsetup repo URL configurable
- Add MulticastDNS=no to avoid avahi conflict

Code improvements:
- Single STEPS array for show_status and main execution loop
- Document security note for config file sourcing
- Add explanatory comment for UFW VM behavior
- Silence update-desktop-database warnings

Config updates:
- Add LOCALE and ARCHSETUP_REPO to example config

Also adds Wayland/Hyprland desktop alternative to V2MOM roadmap.

+** Method 6: Add Wayland/Hyprland Desktop Alternative
+
+Currently archsetup installs only Xorg with DWM. This method adds a Wayland-based alternative using Hyprland that preserves the same workflow and keybindings while modernizing the graphics stack.
+
+*Goal:* Post-install, user can choose between:
+- Xorg + DWM + dmenu + st + sxhkd (current)
+- Wayland + Hyprland + rofi + foot + polybar (new)
+
+*Why this matters:*
+- Wayland is the future; Xorg maintenance is declining
+- Hyprland offers smooth animations and modern compositor features
+- Polybar provides more pleasant status bar aesthetics
+- Same keybindings = same muscle memory, no relearning
+- Choice allows gradual migration without losing fallback
+
+*** TODO [#A] Create Wayland/Hyprland desktop environment option
+**** Requirements
+- Same keybindings as DWM/sxhkd (translate config)
+- Visual style matches current DWM setup initially
+- Components: hyprland, rofi-wayland, foot, polybar
+- Dotfiles: hyprland.conf, rofi config, foot.ini, polybar config
+
+**** Implementation considerations
+- Keybinding translation: sxhkdrc → hyprland.conf format
+- DWM window rules → Hyprland windowrules
+- Polybar needs Hyprland IPC module for workspaces
+- rofi-wayland vs rofi (X11) - may need separate configs
+- foot terminal vs st - similar minimalist philosophy
+- Screen locking: swaylock instead of slock
+- Wallpaper: hyprpaper or swaybg instead of feh
+- Screenshots: grim+slurp instead of maim
+
+**** User interface for selection
+Options to explore:
+- Config file option: DESKTOP=xorg or DESKTOP=wayland
+- Interactive prompt during install
+- Install both, choose at login (display manager or .xinitrc equivalent)
+- Separate scripts: archsetup-xorg, archsetup-wayland
+
+**** Phased approach
+1. Create working Hyprland config with matching keybindings
+2. Test on current system manually
+3. Add to dotfiles/
+4. Add archsetup logic to install Wayland stack
+5. Implement user selection mechanism
+6. Document differences and gotchas
+
+*** TODO [#B] Write detailed Hyprland implementation plan
+Create docs/hyprland-implementation-plan.org with:
+- Full keybinding mapping from sxhkdrc
+- Package list comparison (Xorg vs Wayland)
+- Config file locations and formats
+- Testing checklist
+- Rollback strategy
