Two additions:
- Thin client: an eww weather/clock overlay over the idle-gallery slideshow.
Time/date come from the local clock, weather from a new retained MQTT topic
(smarthome/weather/current) an HA automation has to publish — degrades to
clock-only if that never happens. idle-gallery.sh owns the overlay's
visibility, mirroring how fullscreen-watcher.sh already owns the
now-playing widget's.
- hosts/audio-endpoint/: headless, per-room-independent Spotify Connect
appliances for rooms without a thin client, no shared/synced stream. Two
build pipelines sharing one architecture-independent systemd
unit/wrapper: arm64 (Raspberry Pi + HiFiBerry Amp2) via rpi-image-gen
producing a real flashable .img, and amd64 (mini PC + USB DAC/amp) reusing
the thin client's own live-build toolchain stripped of its graphical/kiosk
stack. Both reuse the thin client's existing apt-first/documented-fallback
Spotify Connect install logic rather than reinventing it. rpi-image-gen's
exact config schema is flagged explicitly as unverified — no ARM build
environment was available to validate it against the real tool.

Implements both new subsystems from the project plan end to end:
- hosts/thin-client/: Debian live-build Sway kiosk image — greetd autologin,
wayvnc (replaces RDP, per open decision #1), thinclient-agent (HA MQTT
discovery + swaymsg control, the sole LLM-reachable surface), mpv/mpv-mpris,
spotifyd/Steam Link, minimal-chrome Firefox with uBlock Origin/SponsorBlock
preinstalled, a fullscreen-aware now-playing widget, persistent audio-output
selection, outbound RDP/VNC via Remmina, HA mobile-app text/pointer remote
control via ydotool, an optional opt-in gesture-control camera (MediaPipe
hand tracking, off by default at two independent gates), a maintenance-shell
keybind, a German default keymap, and an idle-timeout photo slideshow from a
new gallery SMB share on the container host.
- digest-engine/: quarter-daily LLM digest — email/Signal/Telegram/Discord/
WhatsApp ingestion (WhatsApp via a headful-Chromium bridge, opt-in, highest
risk), news (including RCI/marxist.com theoretical sources and a broad
mainstream/state-affiliated outlet list), financial indicators, flight/naval
traffic and an OPNsense Suricata-alerts summary as political-analysis
evidence, Grocy/CalDAV household ingestion, an evening-only recipe and
shopping-list suggestion from soon-to-expire stock, and a vendored
digest-canvas SDK (globe/window/glow) rendering compact and full views. A
digest that goes unviewed (no thin-client canvas display or voice playback)
is merged into the next run instead of being discarded, tracked via a
retained MQTT message on the shared broker.
Both are wired into hosts/container-host/scripts/setup-container-host.sh via
the existing ENABLE_X/X_BLOCK pattern, off by default. docs/project-plan.md and
README.md are updated to match; remaining open decisions and manual-
verification items are tracked in-repo (project-plan.md §4, digest-engine/
README.md, hosts/thin-client/README.md).
