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.

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.
