Adds transparency (opacity 0.7) and window blur on macOS so the desktop wallpaper softly shows through, plus `transparent_background_colors` so cells with theme-painted backgrounds (tmux's catppuccin pane backgrounds, status bar) also respect opacity instead of rendering opaque. Drops `decorations = "none"` in favor of `Buttonless` on macOS — the native title-bar area is preserved (so opacity/blur stay uniform top to bottom) but the close/min/max traffic lights are hidden, freeing the top-left for tmux's status bar. Falls back to `Full` on non-macOS. Drops `startup_mode = "Fullscreen"` so a tiling WM can own placement on launch (a separate AeroSpace branch will land that). Without a WM the window opens at its default size. Maps left option to Alt on macOS so emacs-style Alt-bindings reach the shell (e.g. fzf-cd-widget on Alt+C). Right option still composes accents. Tightens window padding from 6x/6y to 3x/3y for a denser content area. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Brings the Powerlevel10k generated config under chezmoi management
with a small, opinionated set of tweaks layered on the upstream
p10k-lean.zsh template. The pre-commit-config exclude lands in the
same commit because the exclude is only meaningful once the file it
references is tracked.
Layout: dir on the LEFT (with prompt_char), vcs on the RIGHT.
Right-prompt segments trimmed from 40+ to: status,
command_execution_time, vcs, background_jobs, aws, nix_shell, time.
Prompt char: `>` green on success, `✗` red on error.
Git status uses Nerd Font Font Awesome icons throughout — branch
(fa-code-branch), modified (fa-pencil), staged (fa-plus), untracked
(fa-question), conflicted (fa-warning), ahead (fa-arrow-up), behind
(fa-arrow-down), stashed (fa-inbox). Status colors (76 / 178 / 39 /
196) match p10k's defaults.
`command_execution_time` and `time` render in plain white; time is
trimmed to `%H:%M`. Italic was attempted via raw escape codes wrapped
in zsh `%{…%}` zero-width markers, but p10k pre-expands these
settings via `${(%)…}` before assembling the prompt — that pass
consumes the markers and leaves bare bytes behind, which zsh then
counts as visible width and breaks cursor positioning. Italic in p10k
requires a custom prompt-segment function; deferred as out of scope.
Pre-commit excludes: p10k.zsh is generated and uses zsh-only
constructs (e.g. anonymous `() { … }` functions) that shellcheck and
shfmt can't parse; typos misidentifies p10k flag tokens as
misspellings. Excluded narrowly — the file is regenerated by
`p10k configure`, so an inline allow-list would rot.

Summary
Refreshes the Alacritty + Powerlevel10k look. Alacritty gets transparency (opacity 0.7) and blur on macOS, Transparent decorations so the title bar picks up the frosted-glass texture, left option mapped to Alt for shell bindings, and padding at 3x/3y. Powerlevel10k is brought under chezmoi management and restyled to mirror Starship's lean look — directory and git status on the right, simple ◎/○ prompt char, starship-style git symbols. The generated p10k.zsh is excluded from shellcheck/shfmt/typos. Window placement is intentionally left to a tiling WM (AeroSpace scaffolded on a follow-up branch).
Test plan
chezmoi apply -S "$PWD", relaunch Alacritty, confirm: transparency/blur, frosted title bar, prompt looks like Starship in a dirty git repo, left option triggers shell shortcuts like fzf-cd-widget on Alt+C.
