// Allow members of the `wheel` group to manage libvirt (start/stop VMs,
// edit domains, attach devices) without a polkit password prompt.
// This single-user system already trusts wheel for administrative work
// via sudo-rs; libvirt's polkit gate is a separate path that does not
// honour sudoers, so a polkit rule is the idiomatic fix.
