Subject: feat(waybar): add dock indicator next to battery
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Detects the ThinkPad USB-C Dock Gen2 by its built-in ethernet adapter
(USB 17ef:a387) — the dock's USB hubs share product IDs with internal
ThinkPad hubs but the ethernet only exists when the dock is attached.

The custom/dock module sits to the left of battery; collapses to empty
text when undocked so the bar stays clean on the go. Green dock glyph
when docked.
