Refs #8017 (is not a direct fix but allows an "improved workaround" which should be enough for most use cases)
It adds two methods to the DBus interface called isHardwareKeySupported and refreshHardwareKeys. The first one reflects if KeePassXC was built with hardware key support and can be used to verify that calling the second method (or future methods) makes sense. The second one allows one to force KeePassXC to refresh the list of detected hardware keys (similar to clicking on "Refresh" in the UI). This enables 3rd-party services to e.g. inform KeePassXC that a YubiKey was inserted and, like described in #8017 (comment), allows 3rd-party applications to unlock a database which is secured with a Yubikey (semi-)automatically (given the key inserted was remembered to be last used for this database).
