v1.1.2 — Clickable camera permission setup

Fix

The camera permission bar appears behind desktop icons in Lively, so Allow/Block could not be clicked.

New setup flow: enabling Follow the webcam shows a centered panel with steps:

1. Right-click desktop → View → turn off Show desktop icons
2. Click Turn on camera in the panel
3. Click Allow on the prompt (top-left)
4. Turn icons back on — permission is remembered

v1.1.1 — Webcam startup fix

Fix

• Camera not turning on — Lively's Customise toggle is not a user gesture inside the wallpaper window, so getUserMedia was blocked. After enabling Follow the webcam, click the desktop once (or move the mouse) to start the camera.
• Settings conflict — cursor and webcam toggles now sync correctly when both were saved.
• MediaPipe paths — WASM/model URLs resolve against the wallpaper's https://*.localhost origin.

• Iris.zip — re-import in Lively (+ Add Wallpaper → Browse). Allow camera for Lively under Windows Settings → Privacy → Camera.
