Field report (Nobara, 0.19.2): entering Game Mode mid-stream left the monitor
on and the stream mirroring at the desktop's resolution. Root cause: the
DM-flavor takeover needs privilege to stop plasmalogin, the polkit rule is a
docs-only manual step nobody installs, so every managed entry silently
degraded to ATTACH — and with a physical display connected the attach path
mirrors the box's own session at its own mode.

Ship the privilege with the packages instead: a root helper
(libexec/punktfunk/pf-dm-helper, verbs stop|restore) behind its own polkit
action (io.unom.punktfunk.dm-helper, allow_any — the same mechanism Nobara's
os-session-select uses, and the helper derives the DM unit from the
display-manager.service symlink itself so callers never name a unit across
the privilege boundary). The host tries the plain system-bus verbs first
(root / operator rule still take precedence), then pkexec's the helper; the
restore paths (idle restore + in-stream desktop-switch honor) use the same
ladder so a takeover that needed the helper can always be undone by it.

Packaged in rpm/deb/arch (Arch under /usr/lib/punktfunk with the policy's
exec.path annotation rewritten; the host probes both layouts). Nix is left
out deliberately: store paths can't match the probe, NixOS keeps the manual
rule. Docs updated — the rule snippet stays as the scoped alternative.
