* Add hotspot contract layer with capability-gated dispatch.
Establish the interface and manager plumbing for hotspot support so backends can opt in without expanding the core Backend contract.
Only backends that implement HotspotBackend get hotspot state propagated; others are forced to unsupported regardless of what they self-report.
* Add IPC handlers and API docs for hotspot actions.
Wire up configure/ start/ stop hotspot through the request router so the QML service layer can drive hotspot operations.
Bump API version to 27 and document the capability-gating contract clients should follow.
* Implement NetworkManager hotspot backend.
Implement HotspotBackend on NetworkManagerBackend with DMS-owned profile management, AP capability detection, and band validation.
Device resolution is deferred to StartHotspot when no device is specified, so profiles survive hardware changes.
* Isolate client Wi-Fi state from AP-mode connections.
Filter AP-mode profiles and access points out of all client Wi-Fi paths so the DMS hotspot (and user-created APs) never appear as saved networks, visible networks, or connected state.
This protects existing client behavior before hotspot controls are exposed in the UI.
* Prefer idle radios for automatic hotspot device selection.
* Add hotspot properties and methods to QML service layer.
Expose hotspot state and actions through DMSNetworkService, NetworkService, and LegacyNetworkService.
Capability is gated on API version and backend-reported support, not backend name checks, and stays stable when Wi-Fi radio is disabled.
* Add hotspot controls to Settings and Control Center.
Settings shows a hotspot setup card as a sibling in the Wi-Fi tab with SSID, password, device, band, save, and start/ stop controls.
Control Center shows a compact row that toggles a configured hotspot or routes to Settings for initial setup.
Both stay visible when Wi-Fi is disabled, explaining the requirement instead of hiding.
* Add translator context to hotspot strings.
- Provide more status feedback
- Allow 2 fprint tries within 10 seconds for DMS-managed PAM
- Updated dms greeter docs
Note: distro-managed PAM takes precedence and may use different limits.
DMS auth changes remain conditional on greetd being installed.

* core: fix security and concurrency issues found in backend audit
Security:
- privesc: pipe the sudo password via stdin (sudo -S) instead of
embedding it in the command string, so it no longer appears in argv
(readable by any local user via /proc/<pid>/cmdline or ps)
- greeter: tokenize a session .desktop Exec= line into argv and execve
directly instead of running it through /bin/sh -c, closing a command-
injection path via user-writable ~/.local/share/wayland-sessions
- plugins: reject path-separator/.. in plugin id/name before joining
into a filesystem path, closing an arbitrary-directory-delete in the
uninstall/update fallback
- keybinds/hyprland: always quote unrecognized bind actions/keys when
writing generated Lua; only re-emit genuine round-tripped custom Lua
verbatim (tracked via an explicit flag), closing a Lua-injection path
- desktop/mimeapps: reject newline/bracket in mime/desktop-id fields so
they can't inject fake sections into the shared mimeapps.list
Robustness / concurrency:
- server: recover panics in the request-dispatch path so one bad
handler can't crash the daemon and drop every client
- go-wayland: recover panics in the shared dispatch choke point so a
malformed compositor event can't crash CLI tools / the daemon
- server: per-connection D-Bus client ID instead of a shared constant,
fixing cross-client signal delivery and subscription teardown
- network: guard the NetworkManager device maps with a mutex (a
concurrent map read/write here is an unrecoverable fatal error)
- cups: close the event channel on Stop() so Unsubscribe() of the last
subscriber no longer deadlocks; allocate the fresh channel in Start()
- freedesktop: reuse the shared session conn for the settings watcher
and tear it down in Close(), fixing a per-Manager conn+goroutine leak
- clipboard: mutex-guard lazy dbusConn creation
- geolocation: use WithMatchMember for the GeoClue2 LocationUpdated
signal (was WithMatchSender with an interface.member string, so the
match never fired and live location updates never arrived)
- screenshot: set failed=true on buffer/pool creation errors so the
dispatch loop doesn't wait forever for a ready/failed that never comes

* dms doctor: warn when XDG_MENU_PREFIX is missing with KDE apps
Under non-Plasma compositors (niri, Hyprland, Sway), Dolphin's
'Open with...' dialog appears empty because KService/KApplicationTrader
requires a populated XDG menu tree, which depends on XDG_MENU_PREFIX.
This check warns the user when kde-cli-tools (keditfiletype) is
installed but XDG_MENU_PREFIX is not set.
