.sb-tabbar now reserves 64px on the right, the same way .sb-header already
does for the title: the ✕ is a Gtk.Overlay child, so it claims no layout
space and the tab row grew straight under it once the row got wide enough
(the "General Settings" pill was overlapping the button's circle).
Also documents, next to `config vicinae` in hyprdrive's updater.conf, that
the cosmonaut.toml this deploys to ~/.config/vicinae/ is inert — vicinae only
reads named themes from ~/.local/share/vicinae/themes/, and silently falls
back to its default grey theme when the file isn't there. That is exactly
what happened on this machine: the theme was added after hyprdrive.sh last
ran, so the launcher had been rendering the stock grey palette.

A new layer-shell mixer panel with four tabs (Applications / Input Devices /
Output Devices / General Settings): per-app and per-device volume meters with
an independent left/right toggle, mute, live parec-based amplitude bars (so a
silent stream is visually distinct from a quiet one), output-device routing,
card profile switching (pro-audio vs stereo duplex etc.), and default-device
pickers. Backed by pactl -f json + pactl subscribe over pipewire-pulse
(verified against this box's real pactl; wpctl was dropped for lacking
per-channel volume and profile verbs).
hyprdrive gets the hologram-styled original (supersonic-booster); hyprlua's
plain-themed audio-panel is generated by a new
desktopenvs/hyprlua/scripts/regen-audio-panel.sh, extending the existing
regen-beacon.sh derivation pattern rather than hand-duplicating the app.
Wired into both DEs: Super+Shift+S keybind, autostart, config-updater,
apply-theme.sh, and the respective bars (station-bar's volume badge now opens
the panel; eww/eww-touch/eww-nobattery's volume slider does too, replacing
the old pavucontrol launch).

beacon gains a disk-persisted history D-Bus interface (eu.abdelbaki.beacon.History1
- List/Get/Pop/PopLatest/Remove/Clear/InvokeAction, live Added/Removed/Cleared
signals) and support for apps to embed rich controls (toggle/slider/entry, not
just fire-and-dismiss buttons) via a custom x-beacon-controls notification hint,
plus a beaconctl CLI. transmitter-panel is a new Cosmonaut Shell popup (Super+
Ctrl+N) that browses that history, with a Clear All button and a per-entry
close button.

The dunst package ships org.knopwob.dunst.service with
Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications, so D-Bus auto-activates dunst the
moment any app posts a notification, beating beacon to the name (beacon
then exits on name-lost). Shadow it with a user-level activation file
that Execs beacon-start.sh; ~/.local/share/dbus-1/services takes
precedence over /usr/share. Documented the install-time deploy in
updater.conf.

beacon (the Cosmonaut Shell notif daemon) already renders its holo
fade-in-from-noise intro (materialise out of static), but dunst held the
org.freedesktop.Notifications bus so beacon never started. Make beacon the
deployed and active notification daemon:
- updater.conf: manage `config beacon`; drop `config dunst` (now `ignore`d,
superseded). Also carries the pre-existing `config ghostty` line that was
already sitting uncommitted in this file.
- beacon: add a SIGUSR1 close-all handler (window.close_all) so the old
`dunstctl close-all` keybind has an equivalent.
- binds.lua: Super+Ctrl+C now runs `pkill -USR1 -f '[b]eacon/main.py'`
(bracket idiom avoids pkill self-matching its own wrapper).
- screenrec.sh: `dunstctl close` -> freedesktop CloseNotification via gdbus.
- timer-run: resolve the session bus via the beacon process, not dunst.
hyprlua keeps its own independent updater.conf + dunst and is untouched.

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.
