New GTK4 layer-shell radial menu (desktopenvs/hyprlua/orbit-menu/), following
astal-menu's single-instance D-Bus daemon conventions. Super+Shift+O opens
straight into a Power ring (sleep/reboot/poweroff/soft-reboot via hyprshutdown);
Super+Ctrl+O opens the full 5-category root (Power, Tools, Scripts sourced live
from ~/Documents/Scripts, Management, and a live open-Windows list with
go-to/bring-here/close/force-kill/get-pid/send-to-workspace actions). Adds a
round launcher button to all 3 eww bar variants with matching glow/hover CSS.
Also retunes hypridle (lock 30s, sleep 1min) and adds a HibernateDelaySec
systemd-sleep.conf.d fragment (deployed by sysupdate.sh) so the machine
hibernates ~80 minutes after going idle instead of drifting to sleep indefinitely.
A workspace with no seeded/published column count used to always start
at a hardcoded 2, regardless of monitor size. Now it picks
floor(usable_width / 700), so ~700px per column — 1080p still lands on
2, wider monitors start with more instead of one cramped column.
hypr-nav fell back to the raw "lua:columns" backend string on any
workspace that had never been explicitly switched via the menu (i.e.
every fresh workspace, since columns is the global default), which
didn't match the "columns" layout name it checks against — so focus/
move/resize silently took the generic dwindle-style path instead of
being forwarded to the custom layout. Strip the "lua:" prefix in the
fallback.
Also make focus/scroll u/d within a column wrap around instead of
stopping at the ends.
Portal-backed file/app choosers (xdg-desktop-portal-gtk) — e.g. Steam's
"select library folder" picker, plus Chromium/Electron/Flatpak dialogs —
run in a separate process and open as parentless top-levels with no
xdg-dialog or X11-dialog hint. Hyprland can't tell they're dialogs and
tiles them, unlike in-process xdg dialogs which it auto-floats. Match the
portal backend's class and float + centre it so it lands above its parent.

Replace the Haar-cascade face detector with lightweight frame-differencing
motion detection so the daemon can poll every 20s (backing off to 120s under
heavy CPU/RAM load) without adding noticeable overhead.
Presence detection now shares caffeine's systemd-inhibit lock instead of
holding its own, so the caffeine status widget reflects either source. A new
ownership flag ensures the daemon only ever releases a lock it acquired
itself, so a manually-started caffeine session is never interrupted by the
user stepping away. Also re-enables the daemon in hyprlua's autostart (was
previously only wired up for niri).

Root cause of "can jump one way across monitors but not back" on a
desk with a rotated monitor: both columns.lua's own edge-crossing and
the fallback this adds go through Hyprland's focusmonitor/movewindow
mon: -1/+1, which cycle through Hyprland's internal monitor *list
order* — not actual spatial position. A monitor's transform swaps its
logical width/height (same math as monitor-manager's logical_width/
logical_height) but doesn't reorder that list, so list order and
physical left-to-right order can silently diverge once one monitor is
rotated — confirmed with the reported layout (main 3840x2160 normal +
rotated 1920x1080 to its right): jumping right resolved correctly,
jumping back left did not.
scripts/monitor-adjacent replaces the index cycling with real spatial
adjacency: it sorts monitors by logical bounding-box center each time
and dispatches focusmonitor/movewindow to the actual next/prev monitor
in the requested screen direction. Verified against the exact reported
monitor layout (simulated, transform=1 on the right monitor) — both
directions now resolve to the correct monitor.
Wired in two places (Super+,/. is untouched, still index-cycling, by
request):
- columns.lua's edge-crossing (off the left/right edge of the column
strip already flowed onto the next monitor; now via spatial lookup)
- hypr-nav's scrolling-layout perpendicular "no neighbour" case, as a
new fallback: regular directional movement (Super+hjkl) that
previously just stopped at the edge of a monitor now spills onto
whichever monitor is spatially in that direction, same as columns.

The double-rotate on every Hyprland start existed to fix monitor scale
getting corrupted by rotation. Verified live (Hyprland 0.55.4): scale
stays exactly pinned across a transform change as long as it's set
explicitly (monitors.lua already does scale=1.0, not "auto"), so the
workaround is no longer needed upstream.
It was also a source of a real race: unified-rotate.sh reads current
transform via `hyprctl monitors -j`, and the fixed 0.3s gap between the
two invocations isn't guaranteed long enough for the first rotate to
commit before the second reads state — especially with a dozen other
autostart commands firing concurrently in the same block. A lost race
leaves the monitor (and touchscreen, which unified-rotate.sh also
retargets) transform mismatched after boot. Root-caused this while
investigating why a QEMU test VM's monitor stayed stuck at transform:1
after every fresh boot.
unified-rotate.sh itself is untouched — still used by the manual
rotate buttons on the touch bar.

Adds a "center-focused" switch to the Columns layout's menu tab: when a column
overflows and scrolls, it can now center the focused window in the column
instead of only nudging the pan the minimum amount to keep it in view. Off by
default so existing behavior is unchanged unless explicitly enabled.
The astal-menu switch widget already existed generically (built for scrolling's
native focus_fit_method) but was hard-wired to that one Hyprland option; it's
now layout-aware and reads/writes columns.lua's own persisted state instead.
Overhaul the custom "columns" Lua layout and its navigation wiring:
- Flexible sizing: per-column width weights + per-window height weights
(Super+Alt resize), scale-to-fill when a column is underfull, scroll/pan
when overfull. Drops the old fixed viewport/rows window heights.
- Window parking: move u/d within a column parks two windows side by side in
one slot (persistent, split across the column axis with a divider parallel
to the scroll direction; the column closes up so there is no gap); moving a
parked window again pops it out past its partner.
- New windows stack into the working column (with a balance guard) instead of
scattering, so two windows share a column/height by default.
- Cross-monitor focus/move at the column edges (relative +1/-1 selectors).
- hypr-nav: adds resize + scroll kinds; Super+wheel travels along the focused
strip (column / tape) and falls back to workspace switch elsewhere.
- Super+Alt arrows/hjkl route resize through the layout; Super+rightclick
auto-floats then resizes ONLY in columns (no pointer-resize hook for custom
layouts) and is a plain resize everywhere else.
- Reload-safety: hyprctl reload dropped per-ws layout rules + Lua state,
silently reverting columns workspaces to scrolling. init.lua now replays
layouts-state.json (M.restore) and columns.lua re-seeds cols/rows/orient.

- Columns layout publishes per-workspace column/row counts to columns-state.json
and handles a direct "cols +1/-1/N" message. The menu's Columns page now shows a
"Columns (−)[N](+)" stepper that reads the live count and drives it.
- Expanding the taskbar now fully collapses the strip (header included) via its
revealer, so the panel that covers the quads reads as a single module instead of a
thin strip plus a detached card below it.

- hyprshutdown wired into the graceful power flow (Super+Shift+O logout,
Super+Ctrl+O power off, Super+Ctrl+Shift+O reboot) so apps close cleanly with a
UI before Hyprland exits, instead of a hard systemctl call. Added to the hyprlua
package list.
- Scrolling layout: default window is now 76% of the monitor along the scroll axis
(column_width 0.5 -> 0.76).
- sysupdate.sh: primes sudo once at startup and keeps the credential alive for the
whole run, so no later step re-prompts.

Replaces the scrolling-preset "columns" with a genuine custom tiling layout
(hl.layout.register "lua:columns"): a row of columns where each column is an
INDEPENDENTLY panning vertical strip. Moving focus up/down inside a column pans
only that column to keep the focus in view; the other columns stay frozen — the
combination-lock behaviour that the built-in scrolling engine (single shared tape
offset) structurally can't do.
- columns.lua: recalculate places every window box; per-workspace state holds each
window's column assignment and each column's pan offset. layout_msg handles the
focus/move/count/orient commands. New windows fill the least-populated column;
changing the column count reflows evenly.
- init.lua: for Lua layouts (lua = true), orientation is sent via layout_msg
("orient h|v") instead of the global scrolling:direction option.
- hypr-nav: forwards focus/move/count for the columns layout to hl.dsp.layout(...);
the built-in scrolling path is unchanged.
- binds.lua: Super+Ctrl+Alt+H/J/K/L manage the column / windows-per-view count
(axes follow the workspace's horizontal/vertical orientation).
Menu dropdown for "Columns" now selects orientation (Horizontal / Vertical).

astal-menu: the taskbar ⤢ toggle now collapses the compact strip and mounts
its workspace/window panel as a takeover overlay covering the 2x2 quads (with
a Back button), instead of a popover/inline reveal. QuadGrid gains a generic
takeover overlay; the menu window coordinates show/hide and resets on close.
hypr: new "Columns" layout (scrolling backend presented as independent columns)
with a menu dropdown to pick orientation — "Left / Right" or "Up / Down" — via a
new dir_labels manifest field. The layout menu now tracks direction dropdowns and
fit switches per-layout, so a second directional layout no longer clobbers the
first.
binds/scripts: focus & window-move keys (hjkl + arrows) route through a new
hypr-nav helper so they stay screen-absolute in the scrolling/columns layouts
(the layout otherwise resolves a perpendicular direction onto "scroll the tape",
rotating the keys with scrolling:direction). Adds explicit cross-monitor binds:
Super+,/. focus prev/next monitor, Super+Shift+,/. move the window there.

a manifest + per-ws state for the menu. Ships scrolling/dwindle/master/monocle.
- Scrolling default: column_width 0.5 (active column < viewport so prev/next stay
clickable), focus_fit_method 1 (centered follow), fullscreen_on_one_column.
- astal-menu taskbar pop-open: workspace layout selector + direction + a "Centered"
toggle (focus_fit_method), and a per-window list — [icon+title → jump][⇤ here →
pull to current workspace], keeping jump-to-window intact.

The astal-menu config (incl. new backend/nm.py, ui/statsbar.py, etc.) already ships

- Main open: enable Hyprland's `layers` animation with the bouncy myBezier curve and
a slide style, so the layer-shell control centre slides in from the top edge with a
little overshoot instead of just appearing. (Also gives notifications/bar the same
springy slide, which suits the DE.) A per-namespace layerrule was tried first but
this hyprlua build doesn't honour its animation timing.
- Quad expand: a CSS @keyframes scale-bounce (scale 0.82 -> 1.05 -> 1.0) added to the
expanded card on expand and cleared on collapse so it replays every time. Verified
GTK4 CSS transforms/keyframes render on this build, and that the card scales during
the animation.

Widget settings popover toggles now take effect immediately. QuadCard only
rebuilt a card when its Enabled state flipped, so per-module feature toggles
(Wi-Fi, discovery, routes, CLI art, …) were persisted but never applied. The
card now rebuilds whenever any of its own feature values change, and the
incomplete partial per-module refresh callbacks (which also leaked a dead
subscription per rebuild) are dropped in favour of that single path.
Make the backmost surface transparent so each module floats on its own drawn
border/background: force `window`/`.background`/`.panel` transparent, since a
plain `.menu-window` rule did not override the GTK theme's solid window node.
Locate via IP now works and uses traceroute: geolocate.py traceroutes to
1.1.1.1, takes the first globally-routable hop (the ISP egress) and resolves it
through a public geolocation API, falling back to self-IP when traceroute is
missing or finds no public hop. The ip_locate toggle gates the lookup entirely
(placeholder when off). Adds `traceroute` to the hyprlua package list.
Autostart: `sleep 1 && hyprctl reload` after all spawns so layer-shell clients
settle on the final config.

A touch-friendly GTK4 popup control centre (Python + PyGObject, wlr-layer-shell)
launched from the EWW bar or Super+D. Replaces nwg-dock and nwg-drawer.
Layout: a floating, drawn-bordered panel (anchored top-centre so it never blocks
the rest of the screen) with a 2x2 quad grid over a full-width app drawer, plus a
top taskbar. Any quad expands over the others; the drawer expands to the bottom.
Modules:
- Location — static OSM map (backend/staticmap.py) on IP geolocation
(libshumate won't paint tiles in this env; shumate-demo is blank too)
- Weather — wttr.in ANSI art rendered via an SGR parser into a TextView
- Bluetooth — AstalBluetooth: discovery/connect/disconnect + local history
- Network — AstalNetwork wifi + nmcli/ip/ss for IP, DHCP/manual, routes, ports,
public IP; per-feature toggles
- Taskbar — open windows from hyprctl, grouped by app with pop-out per instance
- Favorites — pinned apps (right-click/long-press to pin) atop the app drawer
Notes:
- Frontend is Python/GTK4, not Lua: lgi/Astal-Lua are GTK3-only.
- Module borders are drawn with a Cairo overlay (lib/border.py); this GTK build's
renderer skips CSS border/background on plain container widgets.
- Consumes Astal GObject libs (io/apps/network/bluetooth) via introspection.
Wiring: autostart + Super+D/Super+Shift+A binds, EWW launcher button in all three
bar variants, apply-theme.sh (_colors.css), installer packages, config-updater.
drawer.sh moved to scripts/deprecated/.

The dialog was landing off-cursor and at ~half-screen. Two Hyprland
gotchas were fighting each other: `move` is evaluated against the
window's natural size and `size` is applied afterwards from the top-left,
so a cursor_x-(window_w/2) move centred the pre-shrink window. zenity's
file chooser also ignores --width/--height and has a ~738x363 GTK
minimum.
Fix the size at 760x460 and hard-code the move offsets to half that
(380x230) so the shrunk window lands exactly on the pointer. Drop the
dead zenity --width/--height sizing from the script.
