Lock sensor:
  native  hyprlock verifies itself, sensor lit for the whole lock (default)
  wake    w-authd verifies for <window> s after lock, wake-up or any activity,
          then the sensor sleeps; readers that overheat under a long lock
          (verify-disconnected after ~4 min) keep working this way
  A mode switch takes effect at the next lock. Both keys are user-scope
  (~/.config/w/fingerprint.conf); a hyprlock started by hand, outside the
  w-lock scope, gets no sensor in wake mode.
