Describe the bug
--keep-active not keeping active. It launches, and it streams my watch, but if I put my hand down too long, my watch sleeps and disconnect.
scrcpy --tcpip=$IP:5555 --no-audio --keep-active

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported command with scrcpy 4.0 on the Galaxy Watch 8 Classic running Android 16, focusing on the --keep-active entry point and the device-disconnect output. Compare behavior while the watch is idle and when the user's hand is down; done means the watch stays awake and the scrcpy connection remains active.
