Addresses the three non-blocking notes from #292: - README's plugin_api requirement was stale (22) vs the manifest's real minimum (17, the onExit lifecycle addition) — corrected, and pinned the noctalia version floor to beta.7 (the first tagged release plugin_api actually reaches 17 in). - apply()'s privilege path ran the whole discovery+mutate script through `priv sh -c '...'`, which the documented sudoers rule (NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/nmcli) never covers — sudo -n always failed. Now the privilege prefix is applied to each of the two mutating nmcli calls individually, never to a wrapping shell. - Regenerated thumbnail.webp.

## Requirements

- noctalia v5.0.0-beta.6 or newer for the core plugin; the gesture remapping
|

and lookup tester need a newer build still (`plugin_api = 22`)

- noctalia v5.0.0-beta.7 or newer (`plugin_api = 17`, for the `onExit`
|

lifecycle cleanup in `service.luau`)
|

- NetworkManager (`networkmanager`, provides `nmcli`) with an active connection
|
||||
- Permission to modify system connections (see *Privileges* below)
|
||||
- `dig` (bind-tools/dnsutils) or `nslookup`, optional — only the lookup

*Privilege command* is **empty by default**: NetworkManager's polkit policy

The privilege command is applied to the `nmcli con mod` and `nmcli device

reapply` calls individually — never to a wrapping shell — so the sudoers

rule only ever needs to name `nmcli` itself:

With `pkexec`, this means an apply may show its polkit prompt twice (once

per elevated `nmcli` call) instead of once.

Or grant it via a polkit rule and keep the setting empty:
