saphidandClaude Opus 5.5 b393e90854 Keep the Frame awake during agent work
Steam's own idle timer (60 min on AC, 15 on battery) suspends the Frame,
and SSH work doesn't count as activity. scripts/keep-awake.sh on sets both
timers to Never through Steam's DevTools (reusing ui/frame_steam.py) and
holds a logind sleep inhibitor as a user unit; off releases the inhibitor
and restores the saved timers. Findings recorded in how-the-frame-works.md.

# Mac-side: stop the Steam Frame from going to sleep while an agent works on it.
#
# The Frame sleeps when Steam's own idle timer runs out ("Sleep after
# inactivity": 60 min on AC, 15 min on battery by default). SSH activity
# doesn't count as input, and asleep the Frame is off the network. `on` sets
# both timers to Never through Steam's UI (DevTools on 127.0.0.1:8080, via
# ui/frame_steam.py) and holds a logind sleep inhibitor as a user unit.
# `off` drops the inhibitor and restores the timers `on` saved.
#
# Usage:
# scripts/keep-awake.sh on
# scripts/keep-awake.sh off
# scripts/keep-awake.sh status

# ("Interactive authentication required") but allows one from a user unit.
