fix(docking): retry the undock; a lost keyword left the panel black
Some checks failed
Check / eval (push) Has been cancelled

Round 6 passed on the plug side but unplugging the cable left the laptop
panel black until it was re-docked. The journal named it: across three
undocks, two logged result=enable-timeout and one result=ok — a race, not
a logic error.

Two halves, both needed:

  - `hyprctl keyword monitor eDP-1,preferred,auto,1` is accepted (exit 0)
    while Hyprland is still tearing down the departing external, then
    silently dropped. Re-issue it on every poll for 5s and keep `monitors`
    listing the panel — not hyprctl's exit code — as the only proof.

  - The watcher fired the undock once off the removal event and marked the
    departure handled regardless (`|| true` + awaiting_lid_open=1). Since
    known_outputs had already moved, the set-changed guard never reopened
    and nothing retried, so one lost keyword cost the panel until re-dock.
    The undock is now a queued invariant driven on the 1s tick, bounded at
    6 attempts so a genuinely unenableable panel can't pin the inhibitor.

The VM harness cannot reach this race: QEMU's headless backend aborts
Hyprland if the last active output is deleted while the DRM output is
disabled, so the test must undock before removing DP-1 and never collides
the two. Noted there, and V3 queued as round 7 — unplug 5+ times, since
the old failure only hit ~2 in 3.

Verified: V2 — nix flake check --no-build; monitor-fallback.nix exit 0 in
57s; shellcheck clean. The fix itself is V3 pending.

## 2026-07-14 — docking round 6: undock left the laptop panel black (this commit)
- **Task:** HARDWARE-QUEUE docking round 6 result (Bernardo, AMD dev box).
Plug side all passed (auto-dock, audio to the monitor, wallpaper on the
external); unplugging left the panel black until re-docked.
- **Did:** Bernardo's journal was decisive — 3 undocks, 2×
`result=enable-timeout` + 1× `result=ok`, so an intermittent race. Two
fixes in modules/home/hyprland.nix: (1) the undock `hyprctl keyword monitor
eDP-1,preferred,auto,1` exits 0 but is dropped when it lands mid-teardown
of the departing external — now re-issued every poll for 5s, with
`monitors` listing the panel as the only proof; (2) the watcher marked the
departure handled via `"$TRANSITION" undock … || true` + `awaiting_lid_open=1`
and `known_outputs` had already moved, so nothing ever retried — one lost
keyword = a dark panel. The undock is now a queued invariant driven on the
1s tick (6 attempts, then `result=gave-up`).
- **Verified:** V2 — `nix flake check --no-build` all checks passed;
`nix build --impure -f tools/monitor-fallback.nix` exit 0 in 57s (reaches
the final `lid-open transition` checkpoint); shellcheck clean on both
generated scripts (the lone SC2125 is pre-existing + intentional).
**Honest limit:** the harness CANNOT reach this race — QEMU's headless
backend aborts Hyprland if the last active output is deleted while the DRM
output is disabled, so it must undock before removing DP-1 and never
collides the two. The fix itself is **V3 pending**; comment added at
tools/monitor-fallback.nix so a reader doesn't mistake a pass for coverage.
- **Pending:** V3 → HARDWARE-QUEUE round 7 (unplug ≥5×; old failure was only
~2 in 3). Round 5/6's keyboard-prompt + headphone-jack counts were never
reported either way — split into their own entry, still unverified.
- **Next suggestion:** wait on round 7 before touching the dock path again.

- **Task:** BACKLOG #99 — false "theme-state.json NOT git-tracked" doctor/
Waybar warning in the live session; resolve the held question from Fable.
