Installer rewritten around a preflight: distro, package manager, display
manager, window manager, terminal, tmux, cargo, git, screen locker, touch
device, device permissions and free disk are all checked BEFORE anything is
installed, and the total cost is printed once for a single confirmation.
Prompts read /dev/tty so they still work when the script is piped from curl,
and fall back to defaults with a notice when there is no terminal at all.
Several "[ test ] && action" statements were set -e landmines: under set -e an
AND-OR list that ends up false aborts the script, so a box with no lightdm, no
i3 or nothing to install would have exited silently partway through detection
-- which is exactly the fresh-Debian case the installer exists for. Rewritten
as if-statements and verified against a stripped PATH with no tmux, cargo, git
or package manager present. Also fixed cargo detection reporting blank instead
of NOT INSTALLED: the status of `cargo --version | cut` is cut's, and cut
succeeds on empty input, so the fallback never fired.
Device access now defaults to a udev rule matching touchscreens only, rather
than the input group, which grants access to every input device including the
keyboard and needs a full logout.
README rewritten for someone who has not seen the project: what the photo
shows, the hardware, install, then a config built up step by step, each step
with the YAML and the resulting map. Every example is verified verbatim
against the binary, and every relative link resolves. The mechanism and the
reasoning move to notes/: DESIGN.md, HARDWARE-NOTES.md, V1-BASH.md, TODO.md.
cad/README.md was a verbatim copy of the one inside
geeekpi_rack_adapter_release_v1/, so every path in it -- including the
screenshot -- was broken from where it sits. Corrected to its own level, and
it now states once that the 9-inch screen, the 10-inch mini-rack mount and the
19-inch rack are three different measurements.
The v1 shell implementation is removed; it stays recoverable at tag v1.2 and
notes/V1-BASH.md carries the setting-by-setting migration table.

SOCKTOP_GROUPS splits hosts into ';'-separated groups, each its own tmux
window with an optional @layout. The carousel walks group overview -> each
pane zoomed -> next group overview. SOCKTOP_HOSTS still works as one group.
install.sh --autologin writes a lightdm.conf.d drop-in; uninstall removes it.

Wall displays must never blank. --noblank applies two layers: an Xorg
ServerFlags snippet with all four timeouts at 0 (covers the DM greeter, and
survives reboots) and an xset line in the i3 autostart (a session or DM can
re-enable the screensaver after X starts). Either alone is insufficient.
Documents the trap that cost time here: `sudo xset ...` targets root's X
connection and silently does nothing, so a `sudo bash noblank.sh` wrapper looks
like it worked while blanking stays fully armed.
Also fixes a latent bug: `[ "$relogin" = yes ] && echo ...` as the final
statement made install.sh exit non-zero under `set -e` -- and skip the closing
instructions -- whenever a relogin was not required.

Tiled socktop dashboard where a right-to-left swipe zooms into each host
full-screen and left-to-right walks back out.
The carousel is tmux pane zoom rather than separate socktop instances, so
there is one process per host: half the processes, no reconnect delay when
swiping back, and constant polling load on the monitored hosts.
Gestures come from lisgd because libinput emits gesture events only for
touchpads, never touchscreens, which rules out libinput-gestures entirely.
Documents the four gotchas found while building this: panels reporting 2-3
contacts for a one-finger swipe, X needing to ignore the panel so the
terminal and socktop stop competing for the same touches, tmux mouse mode
being incompatible with swipes, and lisgd not grabbing the device
exclusively so two instances double-fire.
