Changes since last release

Computer Use: recognize Niri (issue #181)

The Linux executor's wlroots detection only checked SWAYSOCK and HYPRLAND_INSTANCE_SIGNATURE, so on Niri the grim screenshot path was never tried even with grim installed - Computer Use screenshots failed. _isWlroots() now also checks NIRI_SOCKET (Niri speaks the same wlr-screencopy protocol grim uses). The same gap existed in Wayland window discovery: getFrontmostApp and listRunningApps only had Hyprland/Sway backends; both gained a Niri backend via niri msg --json focused-window / windows. Startup diagnostics now list niri as a relevant tool on Niri sessions. Docs updated to include Niri in the Wayland session matrix.
