Replaces the plain Gtk.Stack crossfade with a focal-point zoom (Gtk.Fixed +
Gsk.Transform): the clicked node's screen position becomes a pivot the parent
page zooms into while the child page slides in from that exact spot and grows
to become the new center — like a moon becoming the planet you now orbit.
Going back reverses the same motion around the same remembered point
(_stack_origins tracks it per depth).
Adds a holographic overlay (config.json "hologram" toggle, default on):
violet scanlines + a looping sweep band + magenta/red noise specs with real
per-particle lifetimes (fade in/out, not single-frame flicker), all composited
through a radial mask so it reads as one soft-edged glow over the menu rather
than tinting the whole square canvas.
Adds an opening-only intro (never plays between nodes): each button starts
invisible and fades in on a staggered cascade — center first, then ring nodes
in order — with a bright noise burst flashing at each node's position the
instant it starts appearing, like it's condensing out of the static.
Also fixes a transparency regression: the new hologram DrawingArea sits above
everything via Gtk.Overlay, and the cyberqueer theme's aggressive `*` selector
was painting it an opaque background, hiding the whole menu — forced
transparent via CSS, same fix pattern as the earlier orbit-node label bug.
Adds a decorative layer to the radial menu: small nerd-font glyphs orbit the
ring nodes (and occasionally the center) at a fixed radial "height" per
satellite, only their angle changes — easing toward the cursor plus a slight
idle wobble. Faint dashed/dotted/solid orbit-path circles trace each one.
Per page build (not per frame, so it never flickers):
- total count is 2 + random(1, (3 % node-amount) + 2), clamped to node
capacity, spread across at least 3 distinct nodes when there are that many
- a node can get up to 2 satellites; since each has its own fixed height they
never overlap, and the gap between a doubled pair is widened further
- a doubled pair splits its motion — one tracks only the cursor's X, the
other only Y, each with its own random phase offset so multiple doubled
nodes on one page don't move in lockstep
- every satellite gets independent horizontal/vertical response multipliers,
so it can read as more reactive to one direction than the other
- some satellites get tangential bracket flourishes (-<, -[, -(, -{, -|)

Toggleable via ~/.local/state/orbit-menu/config.json ({"satellites": false})
since config-updater wipes ~/.config/orbit-menu on every sync.
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.
