DeeJanuzandClaude Opus 5.5 3ebae6a88f Hands: check the tracking cameras before recording, and watch for losing them ...

After the headset wakes, XRService sometimes fails to load the colour module's
VCINT FPGA image; then only the two side cameras run, without the IR light,
and the tracker finds no hands. hands/camcheck.py reads XRService's log, the
video nodes it holds and ft-camd's ring, and says ok, degraded or unknown.

The recorder won't start while degraded (--ignore-cameras overrides it), offers
a confirmed SteamVR restart, and stops the first hand-size step when the
tracker sees no hand at all. ft-camwatch (unit file only, not enabled) follows
the log, notifies, and with CAMWATCH_AUTO_RESTART=1 restarts SteamVR when the
headset isn't worn and nothing else uses VR.
