Codeman maintainer 233f85b170 feat(power): keep the machine awake while Codeman runs, lid close included
A laptop that suspends freezes every agent session until it wakes. The new
opt-in setting (App Settings > System > Power, off by default, "Only on AC
power" on by default) makes the server hold an OS sleep lock for exactly as
long as it runs:

- Linux: a logind block lock on handle-lid-switch:sleep:idle through
  systemd-inhibit. The lid needs the low-level handle-lid-switch lock
  (LidSwitchIgnoreInhibited=yes ignores a plain sleep lock), and polkit grants
  it only while someone is logged in to the desktop, so a refusal is reported
  as "denied" and retried every minute.
- macOS: caffeinate -i -s -w <pid>. Lid close needs pmset disablesleep, which
  an optional root helper (scripts/keep-awake-macos.sh, a LaunchDaemon run
  from a root-owned copy) applies while the server keeps a fresh request
  file, undoing only a disablesleep it set itself.

The lock dies with the server: systemd-inhibit runs cat on a stdin pipe, so
any exit (SIGKILL included, and under the unit's KillMode=process) releases
it; caffeinate exits with the pid it watches.

The installer asks on laptops (default no, never under --yes), and
`install.sh keep-awake` turns it on for an existing install. Status is at
GET /api/system/keep-awake; a non-admin's value is dropped in multi-user mode.

Keep your laptop awake while Codeman runs. App Settings > System > Power has "Keep this computer awake" (off by default) and "Only on AC power" (on by default), with a live status line. On Linux it stops lid-close suspend while you are logged in to the desktop; on macOS it stops idle sleep, and lid-close sleep too with the optional root helper. The installer asks on laptops, and install.sh keep-awake turns it on for an existing install.
