nilsandClaude Sonnet 5.5 406196adce Add the home gateway config and tunnel source addresses
- wireguard.<n>.sourceAddresses: source for router-originated traffic
  into a tunnel without an address of its own (PreferredSource on the
  routes); checked at build time.
- examples/home: antigua's routing role ported to the router module
  (PPPoE with IPv6 inside the session, LAN with ULA and reservation,
  local DNS and forward zones, the freifunk/family/mobile tunnels with
  explicit zone rules, ddclient following the PPP device).
  nixosConfigurations.home, packages.installer-home and a flake check
  that builds it.
- PLAN.md: the remaining antigua gaps and the open question about
  services that stay behind the router.
