System
Exit leaves BiscuitTin (same as kbd:[Ctrl+Q]).
kbd:[Esc] on the home screen asks first, then exits.
Reboot and Power off run systemctl reboot and systemctl poweroff on the host (via flatpak-spawn --host in the Flatpak).
Both ask first: Cancel is selected, then the action.

Two-way choices are radio groups: left and right pick an option, A cycles round. Stepped values change with left and right, or cycle with A.
Choices are saved to ~/.local/state/biscuittin/settings.yaml (or $XDG_STATE_HOME/biscuittin/settings.yaml), separately from your config file.
The config file is written only when it is missing (a default to edit); on-screen settings never change it.
Saved settings take precedence over the config’s defaults.
