Keyboard backlight works correctly for:

brightness control
static color mode

No Aura zones or advanced effects are exposed. No LED rgbs around notebook, This matches the behavior when a model is not yet present in aura_support.ron.

AniMe / Aura effects configured previously in Windows persist via firmware across reboots.

Keyboard appears to be single-zone RGB (no per-key zones exposed). FN + Aura hardware key cycles effects correctly.

busctl --user tree xyz.ljones.Aura → Service not activatable (expected)
