Reverts 797e5c7. With pointer/dashpatch, the treadmill moves SteamVR's
windows by their grab bars, so the default goes back to the role that
leaves both hands to the controllers. docs/design.md explains the cause and
the patch; reference.md lists the patch; update-check.py checks that the
dashboard still has the function the patch wraps and that its debugger is
reachable.

As a treadmill (the default since 564bb4b), the 3D mouse's laser clicks and
resizes SteamVR's windows but can't move them by their grab bars: the
compositor's window grab follows only /user/hand/left or /user/hand/right,
and logs nothing. With the right hand's role the same laser moves them
(headset test 2026-10-13, SteamVR 2.18.2). The driver's default role is 2
again and POINTER_ROLE defaults to right; treadmill stays a setting.
update-check warns when the device is at /user/treadmill.

- The driver's default role is the treadmill (4), hinted from Activate;
the helper's POINTER_ROLE defaults to treadmill. Needs the driver
reinstalled and a SteamVR restart to take effect.
- The "no hand role" release skips a device whose hint is the treadmill.
- Hand gestures: none begins on a side whose controller is in use, or by a
hand at a controller (by position); a held one ends, as lost, when its
side turns controller.
- The moving-controller release no longer applies while a bare hand's ray
drives the pointer (that ray goes only when its own side turns controller).
- update-check.py: the virtual controller's path, and the touch components.

Several KDE Plasma screens floating in SteamVR, each a real monitor of any
resolution and shape, shown by our own compositor (ft-screens), with a
layout, wrist pinning, and visibility modes; a Bluetooth mouse that drives
all of SteamVR as a room-anchored 3D pointer (input relay, ft-pointer
helper, ft_pointer SteamVR driver); two settings apps; and Bluetooth LE
fixes. Installs on the headset with ./install.sh.
