User services

shikane-watchdog

.config/systemd/user/shikane-watchdog.timer (every 2 min, user unit) runs .config/sway/scripts/shikane-watchdog.sh, which restarts the shikane user service if its state machine is stuck.

Why: shikane 1.1.1 deadlocks when a profile application is discarded mid-way (e.g. by a failing DP atomic commit on the external display). The daemon then keeps logging [WARN shikane::variant] Received invalid input AtomicChangeDone at state Discarded and shikanectl reload no longer recovers it. The watchdog detects that signature in the journal and runs systemctl --user restart shikane (re-applies the active profile in ~1s). It never restarts a healthy or legitimately transitioning daemon.

systemctl --user status shikane-watchdog.timer      # check it's active
systemctl --user disable --now shikane-watchdog.timer  # disable
