"""Patch aw-qt's default config for Research Edition builds.

Flips `autostart_on_first_run` from false to true in aw_qt/config.py's
default_config, so participant machines register start-at-login on first
launch (aw-qt#131) without any setup steps. The user can still disable it
from the tray afterwards; aw-qt never re-enables once its marker is written.

Run as part of the CI build for research edition:
    python3 scripts/patch_research_edition_awqt.py <path/to/aw_qt/config.py>

Fails closed if the key is absent, which means the aw-qt submodule pin
predates aw-qt#131 — bump the pin rather than shipping a research build
that silently loses reboot-survival.
