When no backend could create a window and a WebGPU device, aurora hit
an ASSERT and the process aborted with only SDL's last error in the log.
Keep the first adapter, device or window error, return it from
aurora_initialize with a new initializationStatus, and have the runtime
throw it so the existing fatal popup and fatal log record the reason.
ImGui shutdown now skips backends that never initialized, so the
shutdown that follows a failed start does not crash.
From upstream patchzyy/Wiicompiled 6f14bde (#244, KartPad batch).

Lepton's Vulkan driver has no external memory or sync fd extensions,
so the Steam Frame gets a native SteamOS build instead. Its backend is
the PC's: OpenXR creates Dawn's own Vulkan instance and device, and the
eyes are copied into the swapchain on Dawn's queue, with nothing shared
between devices.
- openxr_vulkan_win32 and Aurora's vulkan_win32_interop now compile on
desktop Linux. Dawn links statically there, so the bridge calls the
patched package's hooks directly, and exists only when the package's
aurora-dawn.json declares the Vulkan hook ABI (AuroraDawnProvider
turns AuroraVulkanAbi into AURORA_DAWN_VULKAN_HOOKS); a stock Dawn
keeps the stubs and VR falls back to the desktop.
- openxr_integration.cpp gains a Linux branch: XR_KHR_vulkan_enable2,
the timespec clock, refresh rate, performance level, the Frame
controllers and eye gaze; fragment density maps are requested on
Linux as on the Quest (fdm.cpp and gpu.cpp, AURORA_FDM=0/1 overrides).
- Controller motion uses XR_KHR_convert_timespec_time on any Linux.
- CMake: Vulkan headers are fetched for Linux OpenXR builds, the
headset option is MKW_HEADSET on Android and Linux, and Linux aarch64
builds take MKW_LINUX_CPU (cortex-x4 for the Steam Frame, else native).

- Eyes render under a VK_EXT_fragment_density_map: full rate around each eye's forward direction,
2x2 then 4x4 pixel blocks towards the edges ([vr] foveation = off|low|medium|high, default off).
XR_FB_foveation cannot help here: the runtime's maps only shape passes drawing into its
swapchain, and the eyes reach it through a copy.
- aurora-main/patches/dawn/aurora_fdm.inc: Dawn enables the extension only on request and for
dynamic rendering, flags every render pipeline, and chains an immutable RG8 map into any pass
whose first color attachment is a view bound to one (ABI: include/aurora/dawn_fdm_abi.h).
- android/Build-QuestDawn.ps1 builds the pinned Dawn revision with those patches for arm64
(dawn-build CI flags, protobuf off) into a cached package; Build-Quest.ps1 links it
(-StockDawn opts out) and AuroraDawnProvider.cmake enables the ABI from its manifest.
- lib/gfx/foveation.hpp generates the maps (32 px per texel, densities 255/127/63); an eye is
foveated only when single_pass_eyes draws it in one render pass. Menus never are.
- Live level from the headset panel's VR tab and the launcher; the launch decides whether the
device has maps. debug.wiicompiled.foveation and debug.wiicompiled.fdm for A/B.
- Tests: Foveation cases in gx_fifo_tests, mkw_vr_config_tests. Docs: OPENXR.md, quest-port.md.
