stoa-doctor: report faillock lockout, locked keyring, greeter auto-sync - #206

Three failures that until now were silent: - pam_faillock counting failed logins: at `deny` of them sudo, polkit, the lock screen and greetd all refuse the right password together. - The login keyring locked, or another collection as default: Noctalia seals clipboard pins with a key from the default collection, so pins vanish at the next restart without an error. Also flags a greetd PAM stack missing pam_gnome_keyring. - [shell.greeter_sync] auto_sync = true in Noctalia's GUI state, which wins over config.toml and turns every wallpaper rotation into a polkit password prompt. enable-stoa-greetd.sh: correct the claim that clipboard state under the old default keyring was never persisted. On a real machine it held the user's pins; say where the backup is and which keyring holds its key.

Three auth-chain failures that were silent until now become doctor warnings:
faillock) againstdenyfrom/etc/security/faillock.conf(default 3). Locked → FAIL with the reset command; partial → WARN.~/.local/share/keyrings/defaultisn'tlogin, when thelogincollection reportsLocked = trueover the Secret Service, or when greetd is enabled but/etc/pam.d/greetddoesn't loadpam_gnome_keyring. Noctalia seals clipboard pins with a key from the default collection, so any of these makes pins disappear on restart.~/.local/state/noctalia/settings.toml(TOML, so a table or an inline value both work) forshell.greeter_sync.auto_sync = true. That GUI state overridesconfig.toml'sfalse, and every wallpaper rotation then shows a pkexec/polkit password prompt. A real machine logged one every ~27 min withinterval_seconds = 1800.enable-stoa-greetd.sh: fixes the comment that said clipboard state under the old default keyring had never been saved. On the machine above, that state held the user's pins (a 2 KBindex.encplus entries). The script still moves the state aside, but now prints where the backup is and which keyring holds its key.bash tests/run.sh: 14 passed, 3 skipped. I checked the TOML and faillock parsing against sample input.Generated by Claude Code
