ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 37f8166401 fix: hold the DVD cover until the disc menu is actually showing
The readiness condition was playback state alone, and on a real disc
VLC reports playing well before its window has taken the screen. The
cover came off onto VLC's ordinary tiled startup window — black, sized
to everything except the dock's reserved strip — and the disc menu only
arrived afterwards. Exactly the state the cover exists to hide.

Ask sway instead. VLC only takes the display when its window goes
fullscreen, and the tree says when that happens. The cover now comes off
when VLC reports playing or paused, its window is fullscreen, and 800ms
have passed for the menu to draw its first frames. The playback check
runs first because it is local and cheap; the tree is only walked once
VLC claims to be playing something.

The twenty second deadline is unchanged: a cover with nothing behind it
is still the one outcome DVD mode must never produce.

"""DVD mode: a full-screen playback surface owned by the classroom.
VLC decodes the disc and its menus, because nothing else on Debian does
that reliably. Everything a person can see or press belongs to the
classroom: VLC's own interface is switched off, every one of its
keyboard shortcuts is unbound, and the visible controls are the bar in
this program, styled from the same stylesheet as the dock.
Layout, bottom to top:
loading surface layer-shell OVERLAY, covers the whole display
including the dock while the disc loads, removed
once playback is actually on screen
VLC fullscreen, drawn above the top layer by sway
control bar layer-shell OVERLAY, drawn above fullscreen video
