Ludovic's rule (2026-10-26): runner_pause.py pauses at once on keyboard, mouse or gamepad input
(read from /dev/input, only whether bytes came), on an unlocked session touched in the last
15 min, at 90 °C, on a game or the GPU. Fixes the service start: the link loop's last test
failed the script under set -e.

runner_pause.py pauses on any seat0 session (locked too), games, GPU use or a pause file, and is
the only thing that starts the runner; a job under way is throttled, then the runner stops. The
desktop host in parity_hosts.json refuses work while paused and its workers stop on a pause. The
nightly audit stays on the Mac mini. Docs and a unit test of the watcher.
