Research direction

Start with the attached `dms doctor -vC` report and `/usr/share/quickshell/dms/shell.qml`, then reproduce the drain with `dms.service` enabled in Balanced mode on Fedora 44 and Hyprland. Compare battery behavior with the shell stopped and document whether DMS is responsible; done means the cause is identified and the reported drain is resolved or clearly ruled out.
