How to read touchscreen input reports

"""Read-only Linux evdev snapshot. No reset, grab, calibration or writes.

Requires Python 3, Linux generic ioctl layout (e.g. x86/ARM) and permission
to read /dev/input/event*. Type-B contacts are queried from kernel state.
Raw axes precede compositor rotation/calibration. Run again to compare.
