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.
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).

Matches the existing kitty autostart rule so opendeck launches hidden
on the scratchpad workspace instead of the active one.

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.

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/.

Installs ydotool via pacman and OpenDeck via Flatpak, wires ydotoold
and OpenDeck into the Hyprland autostart. Registers the module in the
TUI installer, answerfile generator, and docs.

Start chamel as a daemon in autostart so keybinds (toggle/clear/
clear-and-deactivate) work on first use. Fix stale hyprland script
paths in frequentcommands.list and add all utility scripts.
