DeeJanuzandClaude Opus 5.5 7bcda94267 Defer hand tracking; the README leads with what Frametop does now
- install.sh no longer offers hand tracking (it's heavy on the CPU and
  needs more work); hands/ still builds and installs by hand
- the build container drops python3-opencv and python3-numpy, which
  only hand tracking's tools used: Fedora's OpenCV pulls in over a GB
- README: a new opening and feature list, the Use section by topic
  (screens, mouse, floating windows, profiles, gaze), and new known
  limitations

# Install everything on the Steam Frame: the build container, Frametop (multi-screen
# desktop, input relay, universal 3D mouse, settings app), and optionally gaze mode and the
# Bluetooth fixes. Run it on the headset in a terminal, from this repo. It's safe to re-run,
# for example after `git pull`. (Hand tracking, hands/, is deferred: it isn't offered here.)
# (It also works from a PC over SSH; see "Developing from a PC" in the README.)
#
# Usage: ./install.sh [--yes] [--no-bluetooth]
# --yes don't ask; installs gaze mode, skips the Bluetooth fixes and the SteamVR
# restart
# --no-bluetooth don't offer the Bluetooth fixes

SteamVR has to restart once, to load the 3D mouse driver and to start the input relay
before it. Restarting SteamVR closes everything open in VR, including this terminal if
it's in a VR desktop. Rebooting the headset works too.
Recommended: in Frametop Display Settings > Power, choose when the displays turn off
while the headset isn't used (for a stand or mount that covers its proximity sensor), and
turn on Stay awake while plugged in, so Steam doesn't put the headset to sleep while it
charges. The displays still turn off when you take the headset off.
