SKE087 31807f37bf Cleanup repo + harden offline install and watchdog
Repo hygiene:
- Remove dead scripts (.wait-for-display, .display-keepalive, .keep-screen-alive)
- Remove stale backup/scratch (install.sh.bak, New.txt, stale .pyc)
- Stop tracking machine-specific/generated state (config/app_config.json,
  playlists/server_playlist.json, src/player_auth.json, generated launchers)
- Prune duplicate wheel versions (one per package)
- Reorganize working_files -> dev/, dev/tests/, documentation/dev-notes/, scripts/
- Extend .gitignore; fix no-op rules in repo/.gitignore

Offline install (install.sh):
- Non-fatal system-dep step; per-package apt retry; .deb bundle install
- Skip pip self-upgrade offline; guard online fallbacks behind connectivity probe
- Dependency-free fetch_url (curl/wget/urllib); --no-reboot flag
- Fix corrupted literal backslash-bang escapes (shebangs, test -f, banner)
- Idempotent cron install (no more stacked @reboot lines)

Autostart / watchdog:
- start.sh: single-instance flock lock (.player_watchdog.lock) acquired only
  after a display is confirmed, preventing parallel watchdogs
- Set XDG_RUNTIME_DIR when missing; exit early if headless
- run_player.sh: activate .venv; stop_player.sh: clear lock file
