Emma ThorpeandClaude Opus 5 3311f64c6a docs(console): separate the two Steam picker faults 
The library-folder picker does open and Steam does create the directory
structure; the library simply never appears in the Storage UI. That rules
out the portal FileChooser for this symptom and points at the
write-and-execute probe Steam runs before recording the folder in
libraryfolders.vdf (ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#8450). Document how to
reproduce that probe inside Steam's FHS sandbox with steam-run, and keep
library_folder_add as the route that reports a reason.

The Add a Non-Steam Game dialog is a separate symptom and keeps the
portal explanation.

Emma ThorpeandClaude Opus 5 46c03df06d feat(sway): 4K scale 2, natural mouse scroll, idle inhibit for emulators 
Three unrelated desktop-side fixes, all in home/sway.nix.

Sway cannot key an output rule on resolution, so scale 2 on 4K displays
is applied by a user service that runs once at session start and again on
every output event, which is what makes it survive a display being
switched off and on. The scale guard in the jq filter stops the
subscription feeding itself. kanshi still owns mode and position; no
profile here sets a scale, so the two do not fight.

natural_scroll on type:pointer gives mice the same scroll direction as
the touchpads already had.

PCSX2 and Dolphin default to borderless-windowed rather than compositor
fullscreen, so the existing inhibit_idle fullscreen rules never matched
and swaylock engaged mid-game. Inhibit on focus for the emulators
instead. The Steam session is unaffected either way: swayidle is wanted
by graphical-session.target and conditional on WAYLAND_DISPLAY, and the
gamescope session provides neither.

Emma ThorpeandClaude Opus 5 730bcd1a5d feat(console): add the standalone Dolphin emulator 
The libretro dolphin core lags upstream on compatibility in the same way
LRPS2 does, so install pkgs.dolphin-emu next to pkgs.pcsx2 and run
GameCube and Wii titles through it. The cores stay for the sake of a
single frontend and a shared save/state layout.

Emma ThorpeandClaude Opus 5 4e3347cb8c fix(console): make a failed Steam session diagnosable, add shortcut tooling 
Autologin into the gamescope Steam session does not take on the real
hardware; the television lands on ReGreet instead. The config side is
correct -- initial_session is present in the generated greetd.toml and
services.greetd.restart evaluates to false -- so the likely cause is the
session starting and then dying, which greetd answers by falling through
to default_session.

greetd hands a session the VT for its standard streams, so whatever the
session prints on its way down is erased as soon as the greeter repaints.
Run the launcher under systemd-cat so the reason survives in the journal
under the steam-session identifier.

Steam's non-Steam-game Browse dialog and its library-folder picker both
go through the XDG portal FileChooser interface and do not open here
(ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#9447, #10415). Add steamtinkerlaunch,
which writes shortcuts.vdf without the dialog, and document
library_folder_add as the equivalent route for the library folder.

Docs also catch up with the host's actual state: hardware-configuration
.nix is a real scan now, standalone pcsx2 is installed, and the untested
claims become the list of open problems.

Emma ThorpeandClaude Opus 5 59d5d70221 feat(sway): install wlr-randr on all Sway hosts 
wlr-randr prints the make/model/serial criteria kanshi profiles are keyed
on and lets a mode be tried before it is committed to config. Nothing
else in the Sway package set covers output query or adjustment.
