**Critical Update:**

Further debugging has pinpointed the exact level of the failure. Using
`sudo udevadm monitor --environment` and `journalctl -f -k`, we can
confirm that **no kernel uevent or dmesg/journal message is generated
when the laptop is physically folded into tablet mode or back.**

This happens despite the physical Fn-key backlight on the keyboard
correctly toggling off and on, which proves the Embedded Controller (EC)
is aware of the chassis state change.

**Conclusion:** The hardware's Embedded Controller is not signaling the
mode change to the kernel in a way that the existing `hp-wmi` or `acpi`
drivers can understand. The kernel is completely blind to the event,
which is why all higher-level services (`udev`, `iio-sensor-proxy`,
GNOME) are not reacting.

This appears to be a kernel driver bug where the `hp-wmi` driver needs
to be updated to support the specific ACPI/WMI event that this new
hardware model uses for its tablet mode switch.
