Add scripts/gamemode-watch.py, launched at niri startup, which subscribes to niri's event stream and toggles gamemode whenever a game window (steam_app_*, RuneLite, gamescope) is open — so Steam games trigger gamemode with zero per-game setup instead of needing gamemoderun %command%. 'winwatch' is a third reference-counted source alongside feral + manual. Pure Watcher class is unit-tested; SIGTERM/finally guarantee cleanup so the watcher stopping never leaves gamemode stuck on.

Setup
git clone git@github.com:YOURNAME/dotfiles.git
cd dotfiles
./install.sh
One-time hibernation enablement
Hibernation requires a persistent swap file, kernel resume parameters, and a regenerated UKI. Run once, then reboot:
sudo bash scripts/enable-hibernation.sh
After reboot, systemctl hibernate will work, and lid close / 30-min idle will suspend-then-hibernate per the tracked logind config.
One-time NetworkManager activation
After install.sh deploys the NetworkManager config, swap from systemd-networkd to NetworkManager (one-time, persistent across reboots):
sudo systemctl disable --now systemd-networkd
sudo systemctl enable --now NetworkManager
Wifi will drop for a few seconds and reconnect via iwd's stored profiles. If reconnection fails, re-enter the wifi password via nm-applet (tray icon) or networkmanager_dmenu (waybar network widget click).
One-time fingerprint setup
After install.sh installs fprintd, enroll a finger and wire it into the sudo + lockscreen auth stacks:
fprintd-enroll # interactive; touch the reader as prompted
sudo bash scripts/enable-fingerprint.sh # idempotent — safe to re-run
Test with sudo true (should prompt for fingerprint) or Mod+Shift+E to lock + touch the reader.
To enroll additional fingers: fprintd-enroll -f left-thumb (or right-thumb, left-index, etc.).
