Diagnosed live in a VM: the bar rendered twice (two stacked rows). `hyprctl
layers` showed two `gtk-layer-shell` bar surfaces owned by two different eww
pids — an `eww daemon` and an `eww open bar`. The monitor count was correctly 1,
so the per-monitor loop was not at fault.
Root cause: ewwstart.sh started `eww daemon` and then immediately ran `eww open`
in a loop. The first `eww open` frequently ran before the freshly-started daemon
was ready, so it spawned its OWN second daemon and drew a second bar.
Fix (all three DE variants — hyprlua, hyprland, niri):
- Drop the separate `eww daemon`; rely on `eww open` to auto-start the daemon and
block until the window is mapped, so the first call establishes a single daemon
that the rest reuse (no race, no second daemon).
- killall eww + short settle before opening, so a reload starts clean.
- hyprlua/hyprland: count monitors via `hyprctl monitors -j | jq length` instead
of the fragile `hyprctl monitors | grep ID | wc -l`.
- export GTK_THEME (the bare assignment never took effect).

- Add presence-detect.sh daemon: checks webcam every 2 min via OpenCV haar
cascade (presence_detect.py); holds systemd-inhibit --what=idle lock while a
face is detected so hypridle never fires during an active session
- Add enroll-biometrics.sh: Cyberqueer dialog TUI for camera configuration/test
and howdy face auth enrollment (add/list/remove/test models)
- Rewrite caffeine.sh (hyprlua + niri): replace kill/restart of idle daemon with
systemd-inhibit --what=idle:sleep + PID file; idle daemon stays running
- Fix hypridle.conf: correct ;; → ; in after_sleep_cmd, add
ignore_dbus_inhibit=false, bump lock timeout 120s→180s to account for the
2-min presence detection cycle
- Wire Super+Shift+B keybind for enrollment TUI in both hyprlua and niri
- Fix niri/scripts/python: was real dir with inner symlink causing cp -rL to
create a nested python/python/ hierarchy; replaced with direct symlink
- Add python-opencv and v4l-utils to hyprlua + niri installers
