Idle Inhibit toggle button does not reflect idle inhibition

[koolfy]

I found that the button seems to have the correct behavior within a "right menu session" (while it is still displayed), but not after discarding and re-opening the right menu.

On opening the right menu, the toggle will always be displayed as "inactive" (no inhibition, thus idle enabled)
Clicking it will kill hypridle correctly, thus ihibiting, and show the inhibit button as active.
Clicking it again will restart hypridle thus un-hinibiting (idle enabled again) and show the inhibit button as inactive.

If, however I toggle the button to inhibit (button active, hypridle killed) and leave the right menu, then open it again, its status will not have been saved and will show as button inactive (as if idle was enabled and the hypridle process was running). Clicking the button will attempt to inhibit an already inhibited (killed) hypridle, thus do nothing.

This is very confusing for the end user.

Looking at the code locally, I find that:

state/SystemState.qml

  function setHypridleStatus(enable) {
    if (enable)
      Quickshell.execDetached(["hypridle"])
    else
      Quickshell.execDetached(["bash", "-c", "killall -9 hypridle"]);
  }

Should probably have a corresponding getHypridleStatus() counterpart
It should probably be used in:
rightmenu/RightMenu.qml

  property bool idleInhibitEnabled: false

instead of setting it to false statically (if I understand correctly that this is how the menu is initialized when displayed)

Also, as a suggestion, maybe change the enabling command to "pidof hypridle || hypridle", to prevent starting a second process, just in case?
