Add reproducible headless desktop for the X11/NVENC capture path
A Moonlight client connecting to the x11-backend host got a black screen even though pairing, NVENC, and input injection all worked: the headless Xorg on :0 had no window manager rendering on it, so capture=x11 grabbed an empty black root window. (The wlr/kms backends don't hit this — their capture source renders for itself.) This was a hand-built path with nothing in the repo to reproduce the desktop piece. Now: - files/headless-desktop.service: Openbox session on :0, bound to xorg-headless.service, enabled via default.target for lingering boots, with a best-effort xsetroot so the desktop is visibly non-black. - lib/headless.sh: capture_backend_is_x11 + install_headless_desktop (idempotent; pulls openbox/xsetroot via the distro dispatch). - install.sh: installs the desktop unit when capture=x11 is detected. - status.sh: x11 branch now FAILs if no window manager is on :0 instead of only checking the X server answers — the gap that hid this failure. - docs: TROUBLESHOOTING §13 black-screen lesson; FOLLOWUPS P3 updated. Part of the P3 x11-backend work; --backend flag, config.sh x11 variant, and xorg-headless templates remain outstanding. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
