Research direction
Start with /usr/share/emacs/lazycat/extensions/key-echo/key_echo.py at listen_key_event, then inspect libevdev's create_uinput_device call and the reported PermissionError. Reproduce on Manjaro with Wayland and Emacs 29.4; done should mean key-echo can listen for key events without this permission failure.
