DeeJanuzandClaude Opus 5.5 ed75614f62 Bring our own eye tracker into the gaze folder, run by the gaze service
frame-eyes, a separate project until now, becomes gaze/tracker:
- ft-eyegrab (was fe-bufprobe) copies the eye-camera frames, read-only, out of
  SteamVR's eyetracking process. It runs as the system service
  frametop-eyegrab.service, which gaze/tracker/install.sh installs to
  /etc/frametop with sudo. It keeps only CAP_SYS_PTRACE, CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH, and
  CAP_CHOWN, and copies frames only while /dev/shm/frametop-eyes-want is fresh,
  holding none of the tracker's buffers otherwise.
- ft-eyes (was fe-trackd) runs under ft-gazed in the dev container, with
  build/venv's pinned numpy and OpenCV: while Eye tracker is Own tracker, or on
  the probe's lease ("eyes SECONDS"). No sudo password or fe-live script at
  run time any more.
- lab/ holds the research tools (ft-eyes-score, -e2e, -record, -replay,
  -session) and findings.md. Recordings live outside the repo, in
  ~/.local/share/frametop/eyes/captures; .gitignore catches stray frame dumps.

Its socket is now @ft_eyes, its output /dev/shm/frametop-eyes-gaze, and its state
~/.local/state/frametop/gaze/eyes. On practice1 -> practice2 the whole live path
(ft-eyes-e2e) gives 1.30 deg median and 3.18 for the worst tenth, as before the
move (1.30, 3.21).

POINTER_CURSOR_DEG=0.4 # size of the free-space dot, in degrees
POINTER_ORIGIN_FRACTION=0.95 # laser starts this far along eye->cursor: its beam is a few cm, SteamVR's hit dot tiny
POINTER_LASER_WIDTH=0.8 # controller beam width (dashboard.laserRayWidthScale), set once at helper start
POINTER_ORIGIN_MARGIN=0.15 # the laser starts at least this far (m) in front of its target, so small floating controls stay hittable

POINTER_FOLLOW=0 # 1 = the cursor follows your head on a leash (a mouse button mapped to Head follow on/off toggles it)
POINTER_LEASH_DEG=10 # head follow: how far (degrees) your head can turn before the cursor comes along; 0 locks it to your view
POINTER_LEASH_DELAY=0.2 # head follow: how long (s) your head has to stay past the leash, so a glance doesn't move the cursor

POINTER_FOLLOW_REACH=70 # head follow: how far (degrees) from the middle of your view the mouse can move the cursor

META_DASHBOARD=0 # 1 = a Meta tap on a pass-through keyboard toggles the SteamVR dashboard (pointer mode only)
SHARE_KEYS=0 # 1 = keys of keyboards grabbed for the desktop also go to @frametop_keys, for hotkey tools (any local process can listen)
DISPLAY_OFF_MIN=0 # minutes without use before frametop-power turns the displays off, even if the headset seems worn (0 = never)
