Streaming the KDE *Desktop* (KWin) session failed on a real interactive
Plasma session with "KWin does not expose zkde_screencast_unstable_v1":
KWin treats the screencast/virtual-output and fake_input globals as
restricted and advertises them only to a client whose installed .desktop
lists them under X-KDE-Wayland-Interfaces (matched by /proc/<pid>/exe ->
Exec, and cached per-executable on first connect). The host shipped no
.desktop, so it was permanently denied; it only ever worked on the
headless dev box via KWIN_WAYLAND_NO_PERMISSION_CHECKS=1.
Ship packaging/linux/io.unom.Punktfunk.Host.desktop (least-privilege:
only the host, only zkde_screencast_unstable_v1 + org_kde_kwin_fake_input)
and install it from the RPM/.deb/Arch host packaging so it is present
before the host first connects. Drop the blunt session-wide
NO_PERMISSION_CHECKS hack from kde-desktop-setup.sh (it now only seeds the
RemoteDesktop input grant) and fix the now-misleading kwin.rs docs/errors.
Validated live on a Bazzite Kinoite box (KWin 6.6.4): probe-compositor +
spike --source kwin-virtual succeed against a KWin running WITHOUT the
permission bypass.

The session-aware selector drives a KWin virtual output at the client's
resolution when the Bazzite box is in KDE Desktop Mode — validated live. But a
normal KDE login withholds two things the headless host needs:
1. KWIN_WAYLAND_NO_PERMISSION_CHECKS=1 — so KWin exposes the privileged
zkde_screencast virtual-output protocol to an external client.
2. the kde-authorized RemoteDesktop grant — so libei input auto-approves
instead of popping a dialog a headless host can't answer.
Add packaging/bazzite/kde-desktop-setup.sh (idempotent, no root): writes the
environment.d KWIN drop-in and seeds the grant DB (shipped at
/usr/share/punktfunk/headless/kde-authorized) into ~/.local/share/flatpak/db/,
restarting the portal chain. Ship it via the RPM at
/usr/share/punktfunk/bazzite/ and document it in the Bazzite README (new §6.5).
Gaming Mode needs none of this (auto-attach).
