turn_off_auto_idle_screen_shutdown.sh --watch-controller forked 4 xset +
1 xdotool per joystick event (blocking on a dd read, debounced by sleep
0.3) — ~21 procs/s while a controller was connected during gaming. The
xset poking was redundant: startup already disables DPMS/blanking.
Replace reset_idle_activity / watch_js_device / the polling watcher with
one long-lived `systemd-inhibit --what=idle:sleep` held only while a
/dev/input/js* device is present, re-evaluated on udev input add/remove
events (event-driven; 30s presence-poll fallback). EXIT+INT/TERM traps
release the inhibitor on every termination path.
Verified live: subtree stays {systemd-inhibit, udevadm} with zero
dd/xset/xdotool; exactly one inhibitor held; clean release on SIGTERM,
no orphans. Takes that loop from ~21 forks/s to 0.
Behavior change: keeps the session awake while a controller is connected
(not only during active input).

"intent": "Eliminate the fork storm from turn_off_auto_idle_screen_shutdown.sh's controller watcher. Previously, while a game controller was connected, each joystick event forked 4 xset + 1 xdotool + a dd read + a sleep (~21 forks/s during gaming). The session must still be kept awake while a controller is connected, but with no per-event forks.",
