Checksums

Changes since last release

Fixed

• flake.nix: Pass claude-code = null to avoid pulling yanked npm tarballs from nixpkgs (e.g. @anthropic-ai/claude-code@2.1.88 → 404). Users can still override.

Changed

• README.md: Split KDE Plasma / GNOME install commands into separate lines, added socat as optional dependency, improved session-type guidance.
• packaging/nix/package.nix: Added glib optional dependency for GNOME gsettings (flat mouse acceleration).
• patches/fix_computer_use_linux.py: Updated doc comment (switch_display uses Electron screen API, not xrandr).
