feat(suspend): hold inhibit lock while any zellij session exists
The SSH-shell inhibitor in dot_zprofile is bound to the lifetime of the login shell, so it disappears the moment the user detaches a zellij session and disconnects — defeating the whole point of using zellij for persistent remote work. Add a user-scope path+service+watcher trio that ties the inhibit lock to the existence of zellij sessions instead: - dot_local/bin/executable_zellij-inhibit-watcher Polls `zellij list-sessions --short` every 15s, exits when none remain. Override poll interval via $ZELLIJ_INHIBIT_POLL. - dot_config/systemd/user/zellij-inhibit-suspend.service Wraps the watcher in `systemd-inhibit --what=sleep:idle:handle-lid-switch --mode=block`. When the watcher exits, the service stops and the lock is released. - dot_config/systemd/user/zellij-inhibit-suspend.path Activates the service whenever $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/zellij becomes non-empty (i.e. zellij creates its first session socket). Re-fires on every empty→non-empty transition. Enable via systemd-units/user.txt (the .path unit; the service is on-demand). The existing SSH-shell inhibitor is kept as a backstop for non-zellij remote sessions and is now documented as such. VM (nix/vm.nix) deliberately not updated: the Ubuntu remote-dev VM never suspends, so the inhibit machinery would be inert there.
