* Live view: a Desktop view that stays still, and Control to tap on the Frame
The live view gets a second source and a way to use the Frame from it:
- Desktop: the app panel in use in the headset, streamed from its own window
(x11grab of gamescope's redirected window), so it doesn't move as the
wearer looks around. A picker shows any other panel, view only.
- Control: on the Desktop view a tap or click lands exactly where you put it;
drag is a mouse drag, press and hold right-clicks, two fingers scroll, and
on a computer the mouse, wheel and keyboard work directly. On the headset
view the view is a trackpad. A text field and key row type from a phone.
Input goes through gamescope's own EIS socket (the way Steam feeds Remote
Play input) with the libei already on the image: ui/frame_touch.py, over
the same long-lived ssh machinery as the keyboard agent, nothing to
install. It reaches the panel that has focus on either X display, which
the KDE Connect route can't. Verified on the Frame and from the iPhone app
in the Simulator.

* Control: fixes from review
- Keys held on the Frame are released with buttons when Control stops or
the view loses focus; keys for the Frame no longer trigger Frame Control's
own shortcuts.
- Taps only act when the picture on screen is the panel in use; positions,
presses, keys, text and scrolls name their panel (display and window: ids
repeat across :0 and :1, told apart by pid), and the Frame drops them if
focus has moved on. Releases always go.
- While connecting, a tap keeps its position; on an error only releases wait
and retries back off; trimming a long queue never drops a release.
- Lifting one of two scrolling fingers ends the scroll; a cancelled touch
isn't a tap; clicks and holds on the bars around the picture do nothing.
- A capture loop from before a Live restart can't stop the new video.

* Control: close the targeting gaps from the second review
- The focused panel's display comes from GAMESCOPE_FOCUS_DISPLAY (gamescope
packs ":1" into the first value), so a window id repeated across :0 and :1
can't be mistaken; the pid is only the fallback.
- Presses, keys, text and scrolls read focus afresh on the Frame; only moves
use a reading up to a second old.
- A gesture remembers the panel it started on and does nothing more if that
stops being the one in use; a press with no panel to aim at isn't sent.
- Opening a screenshot clears the panel Control would act on; switching to
another app releases held keys and buttons.
- Trimming keeps a click with its position; the error backoff holds for new
input too.

* Control: fixes from the SWE-2 Max review
- The Frame side tracks keys as well as buttons and lets go of both when the
session ends.
- A stale tap tells the page, which re-reads the panels at once.
- A paused input device waits instead of ending the session; only a
disconnect does. An OS error on one event skips it.
- Presses check focus with two property reads and do the full lookup only
when it changed.
- Writes to an agent's stdin are serialized, so two devices sending at once
can't tear a line (the keyboard agent too).
- Connecting gives up with a message after 15 s instead of hanging on
"Connecting…"; text goes in 100-character pieces so releases don't wait
behind a long paste; a cancelled mouse gesture releases what's held.

* Control: stale clears, pauses reconverge, pastes split per request
- The Frame says it has caught up as soon as an aimed event lands after a
stale one, so the page stops re-reading the panels.
- After a device pause it lets go of everything it holds (releases that
arrived while paused were dropped), and waits for the device once per
batch, not once per event.
- The quick focus check no longer freshens the panel geometry's age.
- Each request carries at most about 100 characters of text.
- Turning Control off while it connects doesn't report an error.

* frame_touch: build the socket path on the Frame, so Windows can import it for tests

* frame_touch: any event that goes through clears the stale flag
A trackpad move names no panel, so waiting for an aimed event could leave
the page re-reading panels for the rest of the session; a release still
aimed at the old panel doesn't count.
