Description

Move server.user -> linux.user and add macos.user (using sysadminctl). Then have server.user behave like server.packages and similar where we select [linux|macos|windows].user according to the remote OS.

Research direction

Start by locating server.user and the analogous server.packages dispatch. Trace how the remote OS selects [linux|macos|windows]. Use the stated linux.user split and macos.user implementation with sysadminctl as completion criteria, then verify server.user exposes the same OS-specific behavior as server.packages.
