Description

The other thing we can do here is to support a special service name, "default". Handy for cases where you run exactly 1 service, so both default namespace and the process name can drop it. Instead of db-init, it would just be postgres-init.

EDIT: Could happen in separate PR.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to add a reserved service name 'default' in the services flake project, allowing users to omit the service name when running a single instance. Look at existing service definitions and the merging logic to handle this special case.
