Replace the static hypridle.conf with services.hypridle.settings and add required timeout options so each host tunes its own values: - idols-ai (PC): 15 min keyboard, 20 min screen-off, 30 min lock. - 12kingdoms-shoukei (laptop): 3 / 6 / 20 min (previous values). The options have no defaults because the right values depend on the machine. Update the home-manager eval test to inspect the settings option instead of the old config file text.
