Same Vicinae theming bug as hyprlua, now fixed across the remaining DE modules:
- Vicinae loads named custom themes only from ~/.local/share/vicinae/themes/*.toml,
not ~/.config/vicinae/. Both modules now deploy cyberqueer.toml there so
settings.json's theme.dark.name="cyberqueer" resolves instead of falling back
to the stock dark theme.
- hyprland: the source had settings.json double-nested at vicinae/vicinae/, so it
deployed to ~/.config/vicinae/vicinae/settings.json and was never read. Flattened
the source to vicinae/{settings.json,cyberqueer.toml} (matching hyprlua), so it
now lands at ~/.config/vicinae/settings.json.
- niri/vicinae is a symlink to hyprlua/vicinae and niri.sh uses `cp -rL`, so its
settings.json was already correct; only the theme-deploy line was needed.
Verified by simulating both deploys into a temp HOME: final layout matches the
known-good hyprlua result.

Live VM test revealed the HyprLua DE install aborted at the cursor-download step
("wget: command not found", exit 127), leaving ~/.config/hypr undeployed. Two
root causes:
1. core-packages.sh listed `wprs` in the pacman array, but wprs is AUR-only
(wprs-git). pacman aborts the ENTIRE transaction on an unknown target, so the
whole core-packages install failed with "target not found: wprs" — and NONE
of the core packages installed, including wget. Removed wprs (it has its own
optional wprs.sh AUR module) and documented why it must never be re-added.
2. hyprlua/hyprland/niri downloaded the cursor theme and wallpaper with wget,
which is not part of the base system. Switched them to curl (always present),
so the DE install no longer depends on an earlier module having installed wget.
Without these, HyprLua silently half-installed (packages yes, config no) and the
booted system had no Hyprland configuration.

Audited every module for prompts that would hang an answerfile/unattended run.
The EWW form-factor question and several interactive-config modules were still
unguarded (only hyprlua had been fixed):
- hyprland.sh, niri.sh: skip the EWW form-factor `read` when MARCHY_UNATTENDED=1
or stdin is not a TTY, defaulting to the desktop/no-battery bar (matches hyprlua).
- mail-notmuch.sh, caldav-sync.sh: install the tools, then exit cleanly in
unattended mode instead of blocking on the account/server credential prompts —
the user configures the account after first boot.
- freeipa-server.sh: bail out early in unattended mode; FreeIPA server provisioning
is interactive and must run on a booted system (ipa-server-install needs running
services), so it can never run during the install.
freeipa-client.sh is left as-is: it has a genuine --unattended enrolment path.

When the TUI modules run inside the archiso installer chroot, the new
system's systemd is not the running init and there is no user session bus.
Operations like `systemctl start`, `enable --now`, `systemctl --user`, and
`gsettings` fail there and, under `set -e`, abort the whole module.
- logging.sh: add in_chroot/have_user_bus/enable_service/start_service
helpers. enable_service warns instead of aborting; start_service skips in
a chroot (unit starts on first boot via its enable symlink).
- core.sh, hyprland.sh, hyprlua.sh, niri.sh: route enables through
enable_service, starts through start_service, and guard gsettings behind
have_user_bus. Fixes the cronie-enable failure and the ly/DM setup abort.
- app modules (tlp, timeshift, open-webui, mysql, qemu, ollama, cockpit,
docker, ssh-server): convert `enable --now`/plain enables to
enable_service + start_service so they no longer abort during chroot install.
- tui-install.sh: run modules with output to a file plus a pid-bound tail,
waiting on the module PID, so a daemon child inheriting the pipe can no
longer hang the installer after a module (e.g. flatpak) finishes.

- 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
