Notice the battery, and the machine it is or is not in

Panama had no idea whether it was running on a laptop. No upower, no
battery, no lid, no AC: hypridle.conf says "This is a desktop" in its
own header, and that was true of the code as well as the machine.

panama-hw answers hardware questions one at a time, exits 0 or 1, and
prints nothing, so scripts, services and contracts all ask the same
way. The definition the rest of the laptop work hangs on is one line:
clamshell is lid-closed AND an external monitor. A machine with no
mains supply at all reports as being on wall power, because a desktop
cannot run out of it.

The battery service follows Vitals: sysfs through FileView, an
availability flag, and no subprocess on the timer. Globbing is the one
thing QML cannot do -- a battery is BAT0 or BAT1 or CMB0, mains is AC
or ADP1 or ACAD -- so panama-battery resolves the names once and the
shell reads the files directly after. Nothing falls back to a
plausible zero: a desktop shows no indicator, no card, and no charge
limit control where the firmware has no ceiling.

Also repairs two contracts that were already failing and had not been
noticed, because only the full suite runs them. The dependency
scanner treated line-initial variable assignments, case labels,
comments and heredoc bodies as commands, and `count`, `host`, `cancel`
and `import` are all real binaries on Fedora, so `command -v` could
not filter them out. It now drops comments and heredoc bodies and
requires a command to be followed by whitespace. Verified it still
catches a genuinely undeclared dependency rather than passing quietly.
The launcher command contract had not been told about the fourteen
commands added earlier today.

# Every subcommand exits 0 for yes and 1 for no, prints nothing, and answers
# correctly on a machine that has none of the hardware in question. That last
# part is the whole point: a desktop must be able to ask "am I in clamshell
# mode" and get a calm no rather than an error, because the scripts and
# services that ask are shared between machines.
#
# `--json` answers everything at once, for the health page and for contracts.

# Detection reads sysfs directly rather than shelling out to lspci or upower:
# lspci touches PCI config space and wakes a runtime-suspended GPU, which is a
# real cost to pay for a question asked at every login.

# Paths are overridable (PANAMA_HW_SYS, PANAMA_HW_ACPI) so the contract can
# drive fixture trees. Nothing else should set them.
