If the Kindle falls asleep or I close the cover while the extension is activated, I can not type in my password to unlock the device. Because it is not unlocked, the page turn buttons do not work, so I can't deactivate the extension.

The only workaround I've found is to restart the device using the power button, which in turn disables the extension completely requiring opening KUAL to reenable it. Is there a more elegant solution?

The creator could check if the device is in screensaver mode, and if so, disable the touch disabling until it is awake again?
Something like that at least! I do something a little similar in KindleLazy.
Here is some code for the author:

//runs and returns output of a command
std::string exec(const char* cmd) {
    char buffer[128];
    std::string result = "";
    std::shared_ptr<FILE> pipe(popen(cmd, "r"), pclose);
    if (!pipe) throw std::runtime_error("popen() failed!");
    while (!feof(pipe.get())) {
        if (fgets(buffer, 128, pipe.get()) != NULL)
            result += buffer;
    }
    return result;
}



        std::string state = exec("lipc-get-prop com.lab126.powerd state");
        state.pop_back(); //remove newline from string
        if(state.compare("screenSaver") == 0){
            //we are sleeping so STOP disabling the touch, so we can use it for the password
            //and when we are awake again, feel free to reactivatate
        }
