Description

The KGPE-D16 has chassis intrusion headers on the board, as briefly outlined here: https://github.com/lampmerchant/kgpe-d16/blob/main/w83795g-intrusion.md

We should look into how this can be implemented in heads so that when the alarm is triggered the user is informed of such and an attacker could not reset the alarm without the user knowing.

Research direction

Start with the linked w83795g-intrusion.md document to understand the KGPE-D16 chassis intrusion headers, then locate the relevant heads firmware entry points. Define completion as informing the user when the alarm is triggered and ensuring an attacker cannot reset it without the user knowing.
