Creator Micro 2 Base resets the Windows idle timer every ~60 seconds when Codex is running

On Windows 11, when Creator Micro 2 Base is connected and Codex Desktop is running, the display never turns off and Windows never enters automatic sleep.

I traced this to the Creator Micro 2 vendor HID interface:

VID 303A / PID 8297 Usage Page FF00 / Usage 0001 Firmware 0.6.2

About every 60 seconds, Codex appears to request device.status. Creator Micro 2 replies with three HID input reports, and those reports reset Windows GetLastInputInfo() to approximately zero.

The HID payload decodes to a device.status response.

{
  "result": {
    "version": "0.6.2",
    "profile_index": 0,
    "layer_index": 1,
    "battery": 0,
    "is_charging": false
  },
  "id": 289,
  "method": "device.status"
}

powercfg /requests shows no active requests.

Closing Codex immediately stops the periodic HID traffic, and Windows idle/display sleep works normally again.
