Research direction

The payload names only the two systemd units, hermeskey.service and hermeskey-ydotoold.service, and no GUI files, so first find the existing settings GUI and how it already runs system commands. Add a panel that shows each unit's status and offers restart, open-logs and run-doctor buttons, then confirm the status updates after a restart. Done means both units display accurate state and each button performs its action.
