dsh-pilot v0.6.5 - the takeover ring lands on the pointer, and stays long enough to read

Desktop control for the whole Windows machine. screen_view hands the model a real PNG of the live screen; desktop_control drives the real mouse, keyboard and windows against that same pixel space; desktop_sequence runs a whole batch of actions in one call and looks once at the end.

What changed in 0.6.5

The takeover prompt is where the pointer is. The overlay process is DPI-unaware — powershell.exe's manifest settles awareness before the script runs, so asking for per-monitor v2 from inside it returns false. On a 150% display the panel is 2560×1600 while WPF laid the window out for 1707×1067, and GetCursorPos still answered in physical pixels: the halo was drawn half again away from the pointer. The script now reads the real display mode through EnumDisplaySettings (WMI's Win32_VideoController reports 0×0 on current NVIDIA drivers) and divides the cursor position by the quotient. The caption was never wrong — laying it out in logical units is what makes the OS scale it.

The hide delay is a setting. takeoverLingerMs, default 8 seconds, replaces a hard-coded two. A single action is long enough to read now, and Esc still cancels while the ring is up.

Verified two ways: the overlay run standalone with a frozen cursor logs physical 2560x1600 (EnumDisplaySettings), scale 1.5 and places the halo at 853,533 logical = 1280,800 physical; run against the real pointer, a 1:1 crop shows the ring centred on the cursor (centre 908,740 vs pointer 908,739).
