-# Legacy impermanence module for defiant
-# This module contains all the impermanence configurations that were previously
-# handled by individual service modules on the main branch. It allows us to
-# merge the storage-refactor branch into main while keeping current functionality,
-# and then migrate services one at a time to the new automated impermanence system.
-#
-# To migrate a service to the new system:
-# 1. Remove the service's configuration from this file
-# 2. Set `impermanence.enable = true` for that service in configuration.nix
-# 3. Remove `impermanence.enable = false` from the service configuration
