+// Privacy & Security.
+//
+// GNOME's Privacy panel covers screen lock, camera and microphone access, file
+// history, trash, and device security. Panama covers the parts it genuinely
+// owns and is explicit about the parts it does not.
+//
+// The file-history and trash settings are the notable omission, and the reason
+// is worth stating: those are GNOME preferences enforced by gsd-housekeeping,
+// which is not running in a Hyprland session. Offering switches for them would
+// store a preference, change nothing, and give no sign of it -- the exact
+// failure this codebase keeps designing against. So they are delegated by name
+// rather than reimplemented as controls that lie.
