feat(fpagent): show scanner availability and gate capture

Consume fpagent's fprint-device-status {available, device, captureAgentId}
in the /fingerprint wizard. Availability is tracked tri-state so an agent
that does not report it leaves capture working as before; the header tag
shows offline / no-scanner / ready, the capture panel warns, and capture is
disabled until a supported reader is attached.

Adds a vm-sandbox test for the wizard logic and the OpenSpec change
fpagent-device-availability, archived with the fingerprint-wizard spec.

+# Design
+
+## Context
+
+See `proposal.md` — Why. fpagent pushes `fprint-device-status`
+`{available, device, captureAgentId}` to each connection on connect and to all
+connections when availability changes (2 s watcher; probes skipped while an
+enrollment runs). `available` means "a supported reader is attached", not that a
+capture will succeed. The wizard currently learns only `agent-hello` and the
+enrollment events, and its header tag reflects only the socket connection.
+
+## Goals / Non-Goals
+
+**Goals:** surface scanner availability in the wizard; stop a capture from
+starting when no reader is attached; keep working against agents that do not
+emit the event.
+
+**Non-Goals:** changing the agent or the event contract; blocking capture when
+the agent is merely unreachable (pre-existing behavior); a proactive device
+picker or wiring guidance.
+
+## Decisions
+
+1. **The client is a pure listener.** The agent already emits on connect and on
+   change, so the wizard adds one handler and no polling or request event.
+
+2. **Availability is tri-state, not boolean.** `agent.available` starts `null`
+   (unknown) and becomes `true`/`false` on the first status. An agent that never
+   emits the event leaves it `null`, so captures are not blocked — the feature
+   degrades to today's behavior instead of deadlocking older field laptops.
+
+3. **The status tag has four labels.** Offline (socket down), "Scanner not
+   connected" (`available: false`), "Agent ready" (`available: true`), and
+   "Agent connected" (unknown). The `title` carries the version and the device
+   name when known.
+
+4. **Capture is gated at both layers.** The buttons are disabled when
+   `available === false`, and `capture()` returns early on the same condition so
+   a race (availability changing between click and handler) cannot start an
+   enrollment. The agent remains authoritative and still rejects a capture with
+   no reader.
+
+5. **The gating logic gets a small vm-sandbox test.** `app.js` is a browser
+   IIFE, so `test/fp-wizard.test.js` loads it in a `node:vm` sandbox with
+   stubbed `Vue`/`io`/`document` and exercises the availability state, the tag
+   labels, and the capture refusal directly. No new dependency and no browser
+   runtime; the remaining end-to-end pass against a real agent is manual, since
+   `/fingerprint` requires a session.
+
+## Risks / Trade-offs
+
+- [Old agent never emits the event] → availability stays `null`, captures are
+  allowed, behavior matches today. The status tag shows "Agent connected".
+- [Brief wrong tag between socket connect and first status] → the agent emits
+  the status in the same connection handler as `agent-hello`, so the window is
+  negligible; the `null` state shows "Agent connected" rather than a false
+  "Scanner not connected".
+- [`available` read as "ready to capture"] → the agent's contract says it means
+  "attached"; enrollment remains authoritative and a capture can still fail.
+- [Watcher is skipped during a capture] → availability is not updated mid-scan,
+  which is correct: the reader is in use by that capture.
+
+## Migration Plan
+
+Ship the wizard; it is backward compatible with agents that lack the event.
+No agent change is required to deploy the wizard, and the full benefit appears
+once the field laptops run the agent that emits `fprint-device-status`. Rollback
+= revert the wizard.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+None.

+# Proposal: fpagent-device-availability
+
+## Why
+
+fpagent now reports whether a supported fingerprint reader is attached, as
+`fprint-device-status {available, device, captureAgentId}`, sent to each portal
+client on connect and whenever availability changes. The wizard does not consume
+it: the header tag reflects only the socket connection, so a connected agent
+with no scanner still reads "Agent connected" and capture is allowed, failing
+only when the enrollment reaches the reader. Operators need to see that the
+scanner is missing before they try.
+
+## What Changes
+
+- The wizard consumes `fprint-device-status` and tracks availability and the
+  device name alongside the connected state.
+- The header status tag distinguishes agent offline, connected with no scanner,
+  and ready.
+- While no supported reader is attached, the capture panel shows a warning and
+  the capture/recapture controls are disabled; the capture handler refuses a
+  racing attempt.
+
+## Capabilities
+
+### New Capabilities
+
+(none)
+
+### Modified Capabilities
+
+- `fingerprint-wizard`: shows scanner availability from `fprint-device-status`
+  and gates capture on a supported reader being attached.
+
+## Impact
+
+- `tools/public/assets/fp/app.js`: handle the event, a multi-state status tag,
+  and a gated `capture()`.
+- `tools/public/assets/fp/index.html`: disabled controls and an inline warning
+  when no reader is attached.
+- `README.md`, `tools/public/assets/help.html`: document the behavior.
+- Depends on `fingerprint-agent`'s `fprint-device-status` event (change
+  `scanner-hotplug-recovery`). Agents that do not emit it are tolerated:
+  availability stays unknown and captures are not blocked.

+being offline (socket not connected), connected with no supported reader
+attached (`available` false), and ready (`available` true). Until a status is
+received, availability SHALL be treated as unknown. The wizard SHALL NOT start a
+capture while no supported reader is attached, SHALL re-enable capture when a

+- **THEN** the wizard shows that the scanner is not connected, explains captures
+  are disabled, and disables the capture controls
+
+#### Scenario: Unplug blocks capture
+- **WHEN** fpagent reports `available: false` while the operator is capturing or
+  between captures
+- **THEN** the wizard disables the capture controls and a capture attempt is
+  refused
+
+#### Scenario: Replug re-enables capture
+- **WHEN** fpagent reports `available: true` after the reader is reconnected
+- **THEN** the wizard re-enables the capture controls
+
+#### Scenario: Status absent or old agent
+- **WHEN** the connected agent never reports `fprint-device-status`
+- **THEN** availability stays unknown and the wizard does not block capture
+
+#### Scenario: Disconnect clears availability
+- **WHEN** the agent socket disconnects
+- **THEN** the wizard shows the agent offline and does not present the reader as
+  available

+# Tasks
+
+## 1. Consume the availability event
+
+- [x] 1.1 In `tools/public/assets/fp/app.js`, add `agent.available` (default
+  `null`) and `agent.device` (default `''`); handle `fprint-device-status` to set
+  both and re-render the tag. Verify the handler is present.
+- [x] 1.2 Clear `available` back to `null` and `device` to `''` on `disconnect`
+  and `connect_error`.
+
+## 2. Show availability
+
+- [x] 2.1 Extend `renderAgentTag` to the four states (offline, scanner not
+  connected, agent ready, agent connected/unknown) with the device name in the
+  tag `title`.
+- [x] 2.2 Add a computed notice (title/subtitle) for agent-offline and
+  no-scanner, and render it as a warning `cds-inline-notification` in the
+  capture panel.
+- [x] 2.3 Disable the capture and recapture buttons while
+  `agent.available === false`, and make `capture()` refuse an attempt in the
+  same state.
+
+## 3. Docs
+
+- [x] 3.1 Add a paragraph to `README.md` under "The Fingerprint Agent".
+- [x] 3.2 Add a line to `tools/public/assets/help.html`.
+
+## 4. Verification
+
+- [x] 4.1 `cd tools && npm test` passes (65 tests, 6 new in
+  `test/fp-wizard.test.js`).
+- [x] 4.2 `openspec validate 2026-10-02-fpagent-device-availability --strict`
+  passes.
+- [x] 4.3 `test/fp-wizard.test.js` loads `app.js` in a vm sandbox and asserts the
+  availability states, tag labels, capture refusal, and disconnect reset.
+- [x] 4.4 End-to-end browser pass against a running agent (tag transitions and
+  disabled controls) — done with Playwright driving the real page against a
+  stubbed agent socket; screenshots in the harness run.
+- [x] 4.5 Archive the change (`openspec archive`), which syncs the
+  `fingerprint-wizard` spec.
