beacon is a GTK4 layer-shell notification daemon in the Cosmonaut Shell idiom.
It owns org.freedesktop.Notifications and renders each notification as a
holographic card: scanline/sweep/noise overlay (shared lib/hologram.py) clipped
to a rounded violet holo-glass card, emitted-magenta text, glow-violet frame
(accent + squiggle for critical), materialise-out-of-static intro / dissolve
outro, top-centre stack.
Implements the interactive spec subset: body markup, urgency, replaces_id,
per-urgency timeouts, action pills, icons (name/path/raw), click-to-dismiss, and
the NotificationClosed / ActionInvoked signals.
- scripts/beacon-start.sh: LD_PRELOAD launcher
- autostart.lua: dunst -> beacon
- windowrules.lua: blur layer-rule for the `beacon` namespace (no_anim; it has
its own hologram intro)

New leaner Hyprland DE (setup/modules/Desktop-Environments/hyprdrive.sh),
a sibling of hyprlua that drops the older EWW/nwg-shell/wofi/walker/
ulauncher stack in favor of a purpose-built, GTK4 layer-shell component
suite sharing one CyberQueer hologram visual language:
- orbit-menu radial power/utility menu (focal-point zoom nav, holographic
overlay, cosmetic satellites)
- horizon-dock hover-scrollable orbital app dock (open windows/favorites/
all apps orbits, SNI tray satellite)
- astro-menu astal-menu re-themed as a hologram info display (Location/
Weather/Bluetooth/Network quads, taskbar, app drawer)
- station-bar the EWW top bar's replacement ("Voidstation Status Bar"):
a thin curved layer-shell bar tracking Hyprland workspaces/
active window natively over .socket2.sock, no polling
Every component now shares one consistent hologram treatment: translucent
violet panel/node fills (replacing solid gray), a config-toggleable
scanline+sweep+noise overlay (lib/hologram.py, ported to horizon-dock and
station-bar to match orbit-menu/astro-menu), and glow-on-hover throughout.
Also adds horizon-dock to hyprlua (built there first, before hyprdrive
existed) and wires dependency checks, config-updater entries, and
apply-theme.sh color sync for every new component across both DEs.
