MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Create system/ directory for system-level nix-darwin configurations
- Add system/macos-defaults.nix with NSStatusItemSpacing and NSStatusItemSelectionPadding settings
- Configure optimal spacing (6) and padding (12) values for menu bar items
- Use CustomUserPreferences to support options not yet in nix-darwin main
- Set system.primaryUser to support user-specific preferences
