- gpu_service: detect host render/video group GIDs from /dev/dri node ownership
(render node → render GID, paired card node → video GID); added to GPUInfo +
exposed via /api/system/gpus. inject_dri now emits numeric group_add entries
(e.g. ["991","44"]) when GIDs are known, falling back to names otherwise;
remove_gpu strips those GIDs + LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME; dri_group_gids() for cleanup.
- editor set-gpu passes render_gid/video_gid through; GPUSelector shows detected
GIDs, defaults video group on, and sends them.
Verified: py_compile, unit check (inject→["991","44"] then clean removal),
frontend tsc build, image imports. Live iGPU verify is on the user's hardware.

- **Stack delete**: local stacks can now be deleted from the UI (stack detail and
the stack card), with a confirm dialog and an optional "keep files on disk".
+### Phase 10 — iGPU passthrough
+
+- **Render/video group detection**: for a passed-through Intel/AMD iGPU, StackPilot
+ reads the host group ownership of the `/dev/dri` nodes (render node → `render`
+ GID, paired `card` node → `video` GID) and injects them as **numeric**
+ `group_add` entries (e.g. `group_add: ["991", "44"]`). Group names rarely
+ resolve inside images, so the numeric GID is what actually grants access. The
+ GPU selector shows the detected GIDs; removal cleans them (and `LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME`).
