Gabriel Brown f6b970da21 Turn the rows that only reported things into controls
Autostart entries showed "Enabled" or "Disabled" as plain text. The row did
toggle on click the whole time, so this is an affordance rather than a missing
capability -- but a control that reads as static text is one nobody knows they
have. It is a switch now, with removal alongside it behind a confirmation:
disabling writes Hidden=true and can be undone, deleting the file cannot.

remove-autostart is confined to files the autostart directory owns. It resolves
the path and compares the parent, so a name like "../../.bashrc" cannot escape,
and it refuses symlinks rather than following them -- deleting through one would
remove whatever it points at, which is somewhere else and not ours. Each refusal
was tested against a fixture directory, including a symlink aimed at
/etc/hostname, which survived.

Sharing says who is signed in from another machine: user, origin and since when.
An empty list on this machine proves nothing, so the parser was checked against
sample `who` output -- it picks out remote sessions and leaves out local seats
and the :0 display, which would otherwise report the person at the keyboard as a
remote login.

Media sharing was "Available" and nothing else: rygel installed, rygel.service
disabled, no way to change that from here. It is a switch now, and it says what
it does before you touch it rather than afterwards -- turning it on publishes
media folders to every device on the network with no password in front of them.

Per-application camera and microphone permissions come from the portal's
permission store, which is where an application that asked through the portal
has its answer recorded. The page states the limit plainly instead of implying a
protection that does not exist: a program installed outside the portal opens the
device directly and nothing here stands in its way. Anything that is not an
explicit "yes" is treated as withheld, because guessing generously about a
camera is the wrong way to be wrong.

The first version of the write silently did nothing -- SetPermission takes an
array of strings and was being handed one string -- and the test did not notice,
because it discarded the helper's output and only checked that state was
unchanged afterwards, which was trivially true. The contract now requires the
value to move, and was proven to fail by putting that exact bug back.

"""What this machine offers to other machines, and switches for it.
Every row reports what is actually true, including "the software for this is not
installed". GNOME's Sharing panel shows switches for services that are absent,
which is how a switch ends up doing nothing at all.
Enabling remote login is a system-wide change and goes through pkexec, which
prompts with the polkit agent this desktop already runs. Remote desktop is a
user service and needs no privilege.
