fix: touchscreen input — keyring grab + libinput multitouch driver

 **Current Version:** 1.0.3
 
 **Recent Updates (v1.0.3):**
-- **Touch screen detection:** startup now auto-detects any touch screen (Wacom, ELAN, eGalax, Goodix, etc.) instead of requiring a hardcoded device name
+- **Touch input fix (keyring):** added `--password-store=basic` to the Electron launch. Under LightDM autologin the GNOME keyring stays locked; when Chromium accessed it, the keyring unlock dialog grabbed all keyboard/touch input — the kiosk rendered fine but ignored every tap and keypress. This flag stops Electron from using the keyring, so the dialog never appears.
+- **Touch gesture fix (libinput):** finger touch screens are now forced to the `libinput` driver via `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-finger-libinput.conf`. The `wacom` driver only does single-touch pointer emulation and never passes real multitouch to Chromium, so 1-finger and 2-finger swipe gestures could not fire. libinput delivers proper multitouch; the pen/stylus stays on the wacom driver.
 - **Upgrade reliability:** `start.sh` is now refreshed on every upgrade alongside `main.js` and `preload.js`
 - **Upgrade fix:** node_modules no longer wiped during upgrade — preserves the ~120MB Electron binary so upgrades don't fail on slow/unreliable connections
 - **Authelia fix:** 10-second timeout on Authelia login fetch prevents white screen when Authelia is slow to respond
