Description

Emergency TTY access can use ttyescape to let users switch out to a TTY through postmarketOS-style configuration. It installs helper scripts and hkdm configuration for systems that need a controlled escape path from the graphical shell.

Review `/etc` configuration and display-manager behavior before enabling it. TTY escape paths affect login and console access, so they matter for kiosk, shared, or locked-down devices.
