`ensure-kernel-headers.service` checks at every boot and installs any
missing `-headers` package, which makes DKMS build the driver for it.
## Extended controller support
`extended_controller_support` (`lib/controllers.sh`, top-level, off by default, 2.10.0) installs two kernel drivers from CachyOS's own
repo (no AUR): `xone-dkms` with `xone-dongle-firmware` for the Xbox wireless dongle (the kernel has no driver for it; wired
Xbox controllers go through the same driver), and `xpadneo-dkms` for Xbox One/Series controllers over Bluetooth (without it
they work as plain gamepads but miss rumble including the triggers, the right button mapping and the battery level). Both are
DKMS modules, built for every installed kernel, so `install_kernel_headers` (`lib/steam-machine.sh`) makes sure each kernel has its
headers first. A PC that already has the AUR's `xone-dkms-git` keeps it: it provides the same driver and conflicts with the repo's
`xone-dkms`. Status is the three packages being installed. Off removes only what Steamify installed (state
`extended_controller_support`, `installed_pkgs`); the headers stay. The drivers load when the device shows up: the dongle is
plugged in again, or the controller reconnected. `tests/controllers-test.sh` tests it with a stub `pacman`.
