jochen 04f3f66f4b screen-lock: the lock screen as a module, claiming node-lock-screen and serving lock (hq ADR 0208)
The distribution's i3lock behind a locker that releases xss-lock's sleep lock
once it is up; timeouts and xss-lock from the session's xinitrc slot, ending
with the session; i3lock-color and xscreensaver declared absent; Go tools lock,
idle, inhibit and locked.

// The operator's graphical session, as a tool the node's runtime runs finds it (novox/hq ADR 0208).
//
// The runtime is a system service running as the operator account (ADR 0175): it has the account's
// uid and none of the session's environment — no DISPLAY, no XAUTHORITY, no session bus. A tool that
// draws on the screen or talks to the desktop's D-Bus must find them. It reads them from a process of
// the account that is part of the session (the window manager first), the same thing `loginctl` and
// a person's own shell would point at, and says where it found them.
//
// Long-lived programs a tool starts go to the account's own service manager through `systemd-run
// --user`, never as children of the tool: the runtime's unit is a cgroup the service manager empties
// whenever the runtime restarts, and a compositor or a clipboard owner started from inside it would
// die with it.
//
// This file is the same in every desktop module that carries it; it moves into the Go SDK once a
// second consumer outside the desktop wants it.
