Jake 1068ad9c7d agent: code-atomiser-fix — hotkey supervisor rearchitecture (Race-1, Race-2, TOCTOU)
Fixes three interlocking concurrency leaks in the evdev hotkey listener
flagged by the atomiser full-sweep. Every spawned task is now owned by a
SupervisorHandle that broadcasts cooperative shutdown and joins every
JoinHandle with a 2s per-task timeout on stop(). Per-device attachment is
now insert-before-spawn under one mutex hold, closing the TOCTOU window.
The Tauri command layer now stores the forwarder JoinHandle alongside
the listener so reconfigures join it cleanly instead of leaking one
permanent forwarder per hotkey change.

//! Linux evdev-based global hotkey listener.
//!
//! Reads raw input events from `/dev/input/event*` devices. Works on both
//! X11 and Wayland because it operates at the kernel level, bypassing the
//! display server entirely.
//!
//! Key patterns stolen from oddlama/whisper-overlay:
//! - Device hotplug via `notify` watching `/dev/input/`
//! - Retry loop for udev permission propagation on new devices
//! - Per-device async event streams
//!
//! ## Lifecycle
//!
//! Every task this module spawns is owned by a
//! [`crate::supervisor::SupervisorHandle`] living inside the
//! [`EvdevHotkeyListener`]. On `stop()`, the supervisor sends a broadcast
//! shutdown signal and awaits every `JoinHandle` with a bounded timeout,
//! so a reconfigure cannot leave orphaned listeners alive (which would
//! otherwise hold `event_tx` clones forever and emit duplicate events to
//! the frontend). See `supervisor.rs` for the supervisor and
//! `tests/listener_lifecycle.rs` for the regression tests.
