DeeJanuzandClaude Opus 5.5 2487351556 ft-steam: open Steam's menu through Steam's own UI
steam/ft-steam menu opens the SteamVR dashboard on Steam's menu, or closes
the dashboard if it's up, without pointer mode: it asks Steam's UI over its
debugging port to show its dashboard overlay (ShowVROverlay, what Steam
calls itself) and focus the Steam frame's left menu (MenuStore.OpenMainMenu).
ft-steam check says whether those calls still exist, and update-check.py
runs it, since a Steam client update can rename them.

The CDP client moves from display-settings/steam_settings.py to
steam/steamui.py, so both use it.

"""Check what Frametop needs from SteamOS, for after a SteamOS update.
On the Frame, a SteamOS update replaces SteamVR, KWin, gamescope, and the kernel along with
the rest of the OS image. Frametop lives in the home folder and survives it, but it uses
SteamVR and KWin interfaces that an update can change or drop, some of them undocumented.
This checks each one, and compares the versions with the last ones recorded as working.
scripts/update-check.py # check (scripts/doctor.sh runs this)
scripts/update-check.py --mark-good # check, then record these versions as working
From a PC: ssh frame python3 - [--mark-good] < scripts/update-check.py
It only reads. It connects to SteamVR as a background app (which never starts SteamVR),
runs `vrcmd --overlays` as the pointer helper does, and maps the eye tracker's shared
memory read-only. It never starts, stops, or restarts anything.
