Fixing the Intel IPU7 camera on a ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 (Ubuntu 26.04)

The webcam on my ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 13 did not work on Ubuntu 26.04. No application could see it. Getting it working turned out to require fixing four independent problems, stacked so that each one hid the next — which is why the usual advice ("install the IPU7 packages") appears to do nothing.

This write-up covers the diagnosis, the reasoning behind each fix, and a script that reproduces the whole setup.
