Focus windows by scrolling or looking at another monitor

Scroll-to-Focus uses a CGEventTap + AXUIElement to raise the exact window under the cursor, while Eye Tracking feeds webcam frames to Vision and blends head yaw + pupil offset for per-monitor focus — a tidy mix of low-level macOS APIs and ML-ish heuristics. Real-world details are handled too (calibration flow, sound/notification feedback), but expect friction from macOS permissions and the webcam requirement.
