The add-on joined master after the manifest translations were designed.
It gets its title, description and connector kind text in the eight
languages of the web UI, like the other add-ons, so the packaging gate
that requires them passes for it.

The PiKVM page landed with English words only, so the add-on locale gate
failed. Add its bundles for the eight languages of the web UI and read
the check time in the language of the page.

Chats and agents can check a PiKVM (kvmd) device and, when a person
confirms each call, press the power buttons of the machine it controls
and use its keyboard.
Read tools: get-info (model, versions, no serial or host name),
get-power-state (ATX LEDs) and get-keyboard-state. Write tools:
power-action (on, off, reset; off_hard, reset_hard and long_press only
with a per-device switch), type-text (bounded, no control characters,
refuses key, token and password-list shapes) and send-key (a short
allowlist, no Windows or Meta chords). All three declare approval
always. The preview reads the power state; apply reads it again and
rejects a stale operation. The add-on journals before it sends, never
retries and reports unknown when the connection drops.
One connection is one device: the address is the single resource of the
connection and the one sealed credential holds user:password, split at
the first colon. A one-time code is not supported. The add-on speaks
only to that address, refuses redirects, uses no proxy and accepts a
self-signed certificate only through a #sha256= pin in the address.
Typing, the text length and hard power actions are per-device switches
that an administrator sets on the add-on page; all start off. Snapshots,
mass storage, GPIO and the mouse are left out.
The add-on ships a skill, a connection page with a Test button and
approval cards, the package files, the library entry and the docs, and
joins the package workflow and the case inventory.
