Problem

#1531 ships aw-awatcher in the Linux Qt bundle, but master still pins aw-qt at fa16bf8, before ActivityWatch/aw-qt#142 and #143. The binary is present but the manager never substitutes it for the X11 watchers.

Reproduced using the actual post-#1531 Linux Qt artifact from run 39147683826 (master c8b9203): it discovers aw-awatcher, then starts aw-watcher-afk and aw-watcher-window under headless sway. The X11 watchers fail without DISPLAY and no events reach the isolated test server.

Fix

Advance only aw-qt to merged 5fb7634 (ActivityWatch/aw-qt#143), including the Wayland detection/substitution and persisted selection fixes from #142/#143. No other submodule or source changes.

Verification

• 23 aw-qt/tests/test_wayland.py tests passed at the proposed pin.
• Headless sway 1.9 with wlroots headless backend and pixman renderer, separate XDG runtime/config/data directories, isolated server on port 5765.
• Using the merged Qt source manager with the exact packaged aw-awatcher binary, selecting the two ordinary X11 watchers logs their substitution and autostarts aw-awatcher.
• The isolated server receives aw-watcher-window_bob events with app wayland-7b85 and title wayland-7b85-proof from a real foot Wayland surface, plus aw-watcher-afk_bob events.

Boundary: this verifies merged manager source + packaged watcher, not a newly rebuilt PyInstaller Qt binary at this pin. The old packaged Qt binary was the negative control. A post-merge rebuilt bundle remains required before declaring the out-of-box bundle verified. Tested sway protocols only, not GNOME/KDE or all Wayland compositors.

Related: #92. Keep the runtime/docs task open until the rebuilt artifact is checked.

This diff moves a submodule SHA and contains no source changes, so there is nothing here for me to assess. Whether the bump is safe depends on the submodule's commit range, which this diff does not include. Treat this as not reviewed, not as approved.
