CARD TITLE (intent, not commit subject): Handset probe: taos-kiosk.service alone marks a DESK as a phone; require plasma-mobile.service too in hardware._detect_device_class and session-mode availability

Autonomous build of board card tsk-l6jtud.

Fix handset probe: require both kiosk and plasma units for mobile device class

Before this fix, a desk machine set up with taos-kiosk.service (which
kiosk-setup.sh writes on any machine) was incorrectly treated as a
taOSmobile handset. The defect affected:

hardware._detect_device_class() returning "mobile" for desks
routes.system._session_mode_state() reporting available:true for desks
Consumers: frameworks.recommended_framework, middleware/security_headers.py,
routes/settings.py BLE extras, desktop/src/lib/mobile-shell.ts

Fix:

hardware._detect_device_class(): return "mobile" only when BOTH
systemctl cat taos-kiosk.service AND systemctl cat plasma-mobile.service
return rc 0. Updated docstring.
routes.system._session_mode_state(): available=True only when BOTH units
in _SESSION_UNITS exist. Updated AVAILABILITY comment.

Tests added:

test_desk_with_kiosk_but_no_plasma_is_unavailable in test_session_mode.py
test_desk_with_kiosk_but_no_plasma_is_not_mobile,
test_handset_with_both_units_is_mobile,
test_missing_kiosk_unit_is_not_mobile in test_device_class_probe.py

Bug Fixes
- Handset detection and session-mode availability now require both kiosk and Plasma Mobile services to be present. Devices with only the kiosk service are no longer identified as handsets or reported as session-mode capable.
Documentation
- Clarified the service requirements for handset detection.

Walkthrough

Device-class detection and session-mode availability now require both taos-kiosk.service and plasma-mobile.service. Tests cover detection results and session-mode behavior when either unit is missing.

Changes: Handset unit requirement

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Device classification `tinyagentos/hardware.py`, `tests/test_device_class_probe.py`, `tests/test_taos_agent_picoclaw.py`, `docs/agent-coordination.md`	Device-class detection identifies a handset only when both service units are available. Tests and documentation reflect the two-unit check.
Session-mode availability `tinyagentos/routes/system.py`, `tests/test_session_mode.py`, `changelog.d/tsk-l6jtud-handset-probe-fallback-unit.md`	Session-mode availability requires both units. Tests verify that missing Plasma Mobile yields an unavailable state and a 404 response to a Plasma mode request. The changelog records the requirement.

Priority: Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: Low · previous review c32b4

On an upgraded kiosk-only desk, a hardware detection failure can temporarily retain the old mobile classification. This is a narrow fallback case, but it should be corrected or accepted before merging.

Lead review @ d274d88: PASS, matches tsk-l6jtud.

_detect_device_class and _session_mode_state both now need kiosk AND plasma units; desk test red-first + handset/no-kiosk controls present; picoclaw fake systemctl updated so the mobile build still resolves mobile.
Nit (deferrable): from unittest.mock import patch is unused in tests/test_device_class_probe.py.
Known follow-up, already carded and held: tsk-ssninx moves _detect_device_class to a /etc/taos/device-class marker (a handset image without Plasma Mobile would read as a desk under this rule); session-mode keeps the plasma requirement.
Merge after shards green and a CodeRabbit artifact on this head.

Preserve the cache when class detection is unavailable.

A stale cached "mobile" class can reach get_hardware_profile() when another detector raises. However, calling _detect_device_class() in that fallback is unsafe because it returns None both for a confirmed kiosk-only desk and for an unavailable systemctl probe. Use a tri-state result and update device_class only when the probe completes. Preserve the cached value when the probe is unavailable.
