Extract hypr-sticky-hdr into standalone repo #13

Description

Summary

hypr-sticky-hdr solves a common Hyprland + HDR gaming problem (flickering on alt-tab) and would benefit from being a standalone open-source project rather than buried in dotfiles.

What it does

  • Daemon that auto-detects HDR game windows via process env vars (PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1, HYPR_STICKY_HDR=1)
  • Keeps monitor in HDR mode for the game's entire lifetime, preventing alt-tab flicker
  • Disables Hyprland's cm_auto_hdr while managing HDR to prevent conflicts
  • Manual on/off override, desktop notifications on switch
  • Event-driven via Hyprland IPC with debounced scanning and PID caching

TODO

  • Create hypr-sticky-hdr repo
  • Add README with usage, configuration, and Steam launch options
  • Add install script / Makefile
  • Submit to AUR
  • Replace dotfiles copy with package reference
