- frame_sudo (scripts/_env.sh) replaces three copies of sudo_run. On
the Frame it asks in the terminal even when stdin isn't one, which
install.sh's steps never had: saying yes to the Bluetooth fixes or
hand tracking stopped the install with "no terminal for sudo".
From a PC it asks through ssh -t when .env has no password.
- start_with_steamvr: the pointer, power, and gaze services restart
when SteamVR runs (a re-install runs the new code) and are left to
start with it when it doesn't, instead of failing the install.

On the Frame, a SteamOS update replaces SteamVR, KWin, and gamescope with the
rest of the OS image. scripts/update-check.py, run by doctor.sh and report.sh,
checks what Frametop uses from it: the OpenVR interface versions the installed
programs were built against, the vrcmd --overlays format, the eye tracker's
shared memory layout, host files, services, sockets, and the driver
registration. doctor.sh --mark-good records the package versions once things
work, and later runs say what changed and what to try by hand.
The session no longer stops when mesavars.sh or flatpak.sh is missing.

A display mount that covers the proximity sensor makes the headset seem
worn, so SteamVR never turned its displays off and they stayed on all
night. The new power service, ft-powerd (frametop-power.service), goes by
use instead: after DISPLAY_OFF_MIN minutes in which the headset and
controllers didn't move and no input device was used, it turns the
backlight off, and the next movement or input turns it back on.
The new Power tab in Frametop Display Settings sets that time and has a
Stay awake while plugged in switch. The switch sets Steam's own "When
Plugged In and Idle -> Sleep after" to Never through Steam's UI, so the
Frame stays reachable remotely while the power button still works.

scripts/keys-report.py records what happens to the modifiers, Tab, and
Esc while someone reproduces a key problem: each press, release, and
autorepeat as the relay reads it from a physical keyboard, and as it
comes out of the relay's virtual keyboard to gamescope and SteamVR. It
adds the relay's view of every device (role, grabbed), which programs
have each input node open, and the relay, pointer helper, and desktop
logs for the same time. Other keys show only as "other key", so nothing
typed ends up in the report, and Bluetooth addresses are masked.
For #2: Shift+Tab in the Frametop desktop opened the SteamVR dashboard
and then stayed held, which doesn't happen here.

The installer clones distrobox 1.8.2.5 instead of the latest code, so an
upstream change can't break new installs. scripts/report.sh collects
versions, service states, settings, and logs for an issue, with Bluetooth
addresses and the headset serial masked. The README lists the known
limitations and how to report problems.

With the pointer released, the helper still listed overlays by running
vrcmd every second, a new SteamVR client each time, which kept SteamVR
from going to standby. The list now pauses while the pointer is off.
Starting the dev container from one of our services made that service own
it, so stopping the service stopped the container and the desktop's
compositor with it. scripts/container-up.sh starts the container in a
systemd scope of its own before every distrobox enter.

Several KDE Plasma screens floating in SteamVR, each a real monitor of any
resolution and shape, shown by our own compositor (ft-screens), with a
layout, wrist pinning, and visibility modes; a Bluetooth mouse that drives
all of SteamVR as a room-anchored 3D pointer (input relay, ft-pointer
helper, ft_pointer SteamVR driver); two settings apps; and Bluetooth LE
fixes. Installs on the headset with ./install.sh.
