Subject: [PATCH] power: keep wayback awake lid-closed (never-sleep)

wayback runs as an always-on router living lid-closed in the van, but
stock logind HandleLidSwitch=suspend would sleep it on lid close (even
on AC). Add a logind drop-in that ignores the lid in all states and
mask every sleep target so idle/GUI/stray `systemctl suspend` can't
suspend it either.

- power/10-vanlink-nolid.conf -> /etc/systemd/logind.conf.d/
- deploy.sh: install drop-in, mask sleep/suspend/hibernate/hybrid-sleep,
  restart systemd-logind
- README: power/ layout row, never-sleep operation notes + reversal recipe

+### Never sleep (lid-closed operation)
+- wayback lives lid-closed in the van and must stay up. Stock logind `HandleLidSwitch=suspend` would sleep it on lid close (even on AC). The `power/10-vanlink-nolid.conf` drop-in sets all three lid actions to `ignore`; `deploy.sh` also masks every sleep target so idle / GUI / a stray `systemctl suspend` can't suspend it.
+- Verify: `busctl get-property org.freedesktop.login1 /org/freedesktop/login1 org.freedesktop.login1.Manager HandleLidSwitch` → `"ignore"`, and `systemctl is-enabled suspend.target` → `masked`. `busctl call ... CanSuspend` should return `"no"`.
+- **To re-enable sleep** (e.g. if wayback is ever a laptop again):
+  ```bash
+  sudo rm /etc/systemd/logind.conf.d/10-vanlink-nolid.conf
+  sudo systemctl unmask sleep.target suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target
+  sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind
+  ```
+  (then remove the `power/` block from `deploy.sh`, or the next deploy re-applies it).
