DeeJanuzandClaude Opus 5.5 5ca4160a7e Hands: fixes from the second headset test (pinches)
- The palm-down filter is off by default: the user's deliberate pinches,
  hand raised, read 0.90-0.99, like typing.
- Typing is told apart by the keyboard instead: the input relay sends the
  pointer helper "typing" on key presses, and it takes no pinch within
  POINTER_PINCH_TYPING (1 s) of one.
- Grips are still held to hands raised (POINTER_GRIP_BELOW, 0.35 m below
  the eyes); pinches aren't, since the user's own sat 0.35-0.45 m below,
  elbow resting.
- A grip doesn't begin with the thumb on the index tip: that's a pinch
  with the other fingers curled, which was taken for a grip.
- A pinch's point is the index and middle knuckles: the tips' midpoint
  moved 1-2 cm as the pinch opened, dragging every release off its press.
- ft-hands --gesture-log prints what the detectors measure, 10 times a
  second.

Pinches still aren't reliable enough to use; hand tracking is parked for
now in favour of the controllers.

/*
* fh_gestures - hand gestures ft-hands publishes for input (the pointer helper): look at
* something and pinch to click it, or close the hand (a grip) to press and drag it (the
* Vision Pro model, with the eye tracker doing the looking).
* /run/user/UID/frametop-hands/gestures, next to the hands
* file, with the same sequence lock (read seq, copy, read seq again; use the copy only if
* both reads are the same even number) and the same frame: metres in the head frame at
* capture time, OpenVR's HMD frame (+x right, +y up, -z forward).
*
* One slot per side and gesture: pinch[0] and grip[0] are the left hand, [1] the right.
* A gesture follows the hand it began on until it ends.
* Pinch: begins when the thumb and index tips close within begin_m and ends when they
* open past end_m (the gap between keeps it from flickering). point is the index and middle
* knuckles, which don't move as the fingers open and close (the tips' midpoint did).
* Grip: a closed hand. It begins when all four fingers are curled in (each fingertip
* nearer the wrist than grip_begin times its knuckle is) and ends when they open past
* grip_end on average. distance is that average (about 2 open, under 1.2 closed), strength
* 0 open .. 1 closed, and point the palm's centre. A grip ends a pinch on the same hand
* (closing the hand can pass through a pinch on the way), as lost.
* Either ends, as lost (FH_PINCH_LOST), when its hand stays lost too long.
*
* Don't miss short gestures: a reader that polls slower than a quick tap still sees it,
* because begins and ends count every one. When begins changed, one began at begin_ns;
* when ends changed, one ended at end_ns. begins - ends is 1 while it's down.
*
* Drags: point is where the gesture is now, begin_point where it began. Turn each into the
* room with the HMD pose at its capture time (capture_ns, begin_ns) before subtracting,
* so turning your head doesn't drag.
*
* Version 1 had only the pinches (192 bytes); version 2 adds the grips after them.
