DeeJanuzandClaude Opus 5.5 cfe5990b12 Mark head follow as experimental
It works but is only lightly tested, and what's left is mostly tuning its
settings. Frametop Input Settings now says so under the Head follow switch,
and the README, design notes, and button action name say it too.

"""Frametop Input Settings: choose and map input devices for the universal 3D mouse.
A Kirigami (QML) app with a Python backend. It runs in the dev container and talks
to the input relay over its control socket (@frametop_relay):
- Devices: every USB/Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, a live activity light to
identify them, and a role for each (3D pointer, pass through, ignore).
- Buttons: press a button or key on a pointer device, then pick an action.
- Pointer: speed, dot size, distance and the rest, applied live.
- Bluetooth: paired devices, and re-applying the Bluetooth LE fixes after pairing.
Rules go to ~/.config/frametop-input.json and pointer settings to
~/.config/frametop.conf; then the relay (and through it the helper) reloads.
Launch with input-settings/ft-input-settings (host wrapper).
