also jagwire/problemsolvers are selling "frame plugs" if you have the cable going through the frame.
You might want to add: https://tout-terrain.de/en/the-products/components/1820/plug5-pure

If your front hub has a normal connector, nothing else. Some SON dynamos have specific connectors (SL), but that normally goes with specific frame. https://nabendynamo.de/produkte/sl/
The support of the lamp to the frame has room for variations as the one provided is usually pretty basic (but I think for supernova it is quite ok) e.g. idworx lamp holder, supernova Light Mount Multimount

this one is also very similar, in aluminium (black or silver).

Busch&Muller or Axa, you cannot really go wrong (or Hermans, trelock).
Light sensor are a great comfort I think ("Sensor" in Busch&Müller, "Auto" in Axa), it switches automatically on at night. Not compulsory but nice.
"Standlight" in Busch & Müller, "Steady" in Axa, is the fact that the light stays on for few minutes when you stop pedalling, I would stay compulsory! (Front and rear).
Daylight options are very much optional, up to you.
20/30Lux is more to be seen in city environment, 80/100 Lux is very nice. And everything in between.
I found the Busch Müller Cyo Premium Senso Plus the best value for money (same as the one in the chat few lines above) https://www.bike24.com/p267802.html?source=SRP&indexName=production_SEARCH_INDEX_EN&objectId=BUS167619&queryId=44ca1a135ab9bdfe73c11d23947f8e3e&userToken=c2cdcd9f-060f-45b4-89d8-dfa5a2dd3caa
on a budget, Herrmans H-Black MR8 (but without sensor)
rear light, approximately everything works but take with Stand light (Starts at 7GBP) ! Some have brake light with a motion sensor (20 GBP ish)

A german guy has tested all of them:

To be honest nothing has changed since Lucien Juy / Simplex design, nowadays derailleurs are still a collapsible parallelogram. The lonely other improvement was indexing.

Sachs used to have rebranded Campagnolo ergo shifters. But they might have had different pull ratio as I think they were Shimano compatible, but 8s pull ratio was close anyway between Campy and Shimano. (look for: New Success Ergo)

The Victoire was in a different thread actually:

I hope they will stay on Campagnolo. Cool for Look, but Cofidis already had cool bikes (De Rosa)!
