Layer-shell surfaces can only anchor to a screen edge with a margin, not to
another process's widget, so this can't truly follow the invoking volume
button — but every bar variant in this repo (station-bar, eww/eww-touch/
eww-nobattery) keeps its volume control in the top-right zone, so anchoring
there approximates "under the control that opened it" well enough. Also
shrunk the panel (900px -> 460px, smaller cards/meters/tab height) so it
reads as a compact popover instead of a full-width mixer.
hyprlua's audio-panel is regenerated via regen-audio-panel.sh; its
hand-maintained plain theme seed (audio-panel-theme/style.css) got the same
sizing tweaks by hand since the regen script doesn't touch it.

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).

Discord's screen-share source picker wasn't matching the modal-dialog
windowrules and tiled instead of floating. It's the Qt "hyprland-share-picker"
binary, which sets its app_id/class via
QCoreApplication::setApplicationName("org.hyprland.xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland")
— neither the GTK portal-dialog rule (different class) nor the title-based
dialog-float rule (title doesn't match) catches it. Added a dedicated rule
matching that class with the same float+center-on-monitor treatment.

Monocle now also confines the cursor to the focused full-size window so it
can't slip onto another monitor. Hyprland has no cursor-confine dispatcher, so
this drives the confine_pointer window rule: one lazily-created rule per
workspace, matched by workspace id (follows focus), enabled/disabled in
lock-step with the monocle toggle and refreshed immediately.

config.json gains a "layouts" key to narrow which hypr/layouts-discovered
layouts astro-menu offers (and reorder them), plus per-layout option
overrides (trim directions, hide fit_method/stepper), without touching the
.lua layout sources.
Also: the taskbar's workspace/layout panel now polls every second while the
menu is open, since switching workspaces doesn't notify (or get blocked by)
the menu and the panel previously only refreshed on open.

timer-run now offers Dismiss/Snooze 2m/Snooze 5m buttons via notify-send -A
(beacon/mnotifd both implement the freedesktop Actions spec) and rings the
alarm on a loop until the notification resolves, instead of playing once and
going silent.
screenrec.sh gets a real "Stop Recording" button in the same vein, replacing
a broken anonymous --action= and a `$nid=` assignment bug that never actually
captured the notification id; also fixes hyprlua's stale `dunstctl close`
call left over from the mnotifd migration (dunst is no longer running).

Adds regen-beacon.sh, a by-hand generator that produces hyprlua's plain-themed
notification daemon (mnotifd) and history viewer (mnotifhist) from hyprdrive's
beacon/transmitter-panel sources — stripping the Cosmonaut Shell hologram/
squiggle sci-fi treatment (now config-toggleable on beacon itself) and
renaming every beacon/transmitter-panel reference throughout, so future edits
to the hyprdrive originals propagate with one script run instead of two
hand-diverging copies. Wires mnotifd/mnotifhist into hyprlua in place of
dunst (autostart, keybinds, config-updater, install script incl. the D-Bus
activation shadow file).
Also adds a notification-history launcher button (verified bell glyph) to
station-bar and all three hyprlua EWW bar variants.

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.

Super+E now toggles cursor "glass magnifier" zoom (wiki trick); Thunar
moves to Super+Shift+E and the pcmanfm-qt alt bind is dropped. Super+Alt+F
drops the calculator launch in favor of a real fullscreen toggle, and
Super+Ctrl+F is added to toggle the workspace's "monocle" layout via the
existing layouts registry. Also inlines unified-rotate.sh cw/ccw directly
in the Super+Ctrl+E/D rotation binds instead of going through the
confusingly-named (and reversed) screenrotationwcw/acw.sh wrapper scripts.

bordered()'s glow re-strokes the rounded ring at widths up to border+22, so half
of each stroke falls outside the ring path. GTK clips a DrawingArea to its own
square allocation: along the straight edges that trims the outward spill to
nothing, but inside each corner the square patch between the arc and the widget
corner is still in-allocation and got painted solid accent red — square corners
peeking out from behind every rounded card border.
Clip the glow passes to the ring's outer silhouette (the widget rect rounded by
radius + border/2, exactly where the crisp stroke's outer edge runs) so the
bloom only reads inward. Crisp stroke and fill are unchanged.

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.

The bar hosts the StatusNotifierWatcher in-process (sni_watcher.py), so the
*_sync proxy creation and RegisterStatusNotifierHost call blocked the main
loop waiting on a reply only that same loop could produce — a self-deadlock
freezing the whole bar (clock, holo intro) until the 25s D-Bus timeout. Switch
to new_for_bus + call (async, fire-and-forget).

Add a `dialog-float` window rule to both hyprdrive and hyprlua: float any
window whose title looks like a dialog (Rename/Save/Open/Opening/Confirm/
Delete/Move/Copy/Replace/Properties/Preferences — covers file-manager rename
dialogs and Firefox "Opening <file>" download prompts), centred on the cursor
at its natural (minimum) size. Catches dialogs that carry no xdg/X11 dialog
hint and would otherwise tile; Hyprland still auto-floats the ones that do.

- beacon: snappier in-app dissolve (OUTRO_DURATION 0.4 -> 0.2).
- hyprland.lua: split the global `layers` animation into layersIn/layersOut
so open and close differ. layersIn keeps the springy myBezier slide-in;
layersOut slides the surface back off-screen with a new easeInQuint-ish
`slideOutLate` curve — it creeps slowly then whips away in the final
quarter, instead of a uniform fade.
- windowrules.lua: drop `no_anim` from the beacon layerrule (keep blur) so
notification cards ride those layer animations again (they slid in/out via
the global anim before, since no per-namespace no_anim was deployed).

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.

kitty: regenerate scanlines.png — the old tile was a washed-out near-white
overlay that milked out the terminal. Replace it with a dark holographic tile
(gentle violet #5018DD tint + crisp violet scanlines every 4px + sparse
magenta/crimson grain) on a transparent base, so the window's own opacity/blur
still show the wallpaper through it. Seamlessly tileable; matches the suite's
HologramOverlay palette.
station-bar: add a caffeine badge to the right zone, a faithful port of
hyprlua's 4-state eww caffeine widget. Click toggles the shared idle-inhibit
lock via the same scripts/caffeine.sh; the glyph tracks manual inhibit (coffee)
/ webcam presence (eye) / idle (sleep) and glows magenta while presence holds
the lock, reading the same lock/flag files the status scripts do. Nerd Font
codepoints verified against Agave's cmap.

hyprland's kitty theme was still the stock template (only 5 colors set,
ANSI colors commented out); brought it in line with hyprdrive/hyprlua's
full neon 16-color palette and dropped the now-redundant inline cursor
overrides in kitty.conf. Alacritty had no color scheme at all in any DE,
so added matching [colors] blocks to hyprdrive/hyprlua/hyprland so it
renders identically to kitty/ghostty. Registered alacritty.toml and
ghostty/config in apply-theme.sh so future colors.conf edits propagate.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
kitty: add a seamlessly-tiled scanlines+noise+ambient-bloom PNG as
background_image, giving kitty a static approximation of the suite's
HologramOverlay treatment since it has no per-frame draw hook or shader
support to do real bloom.
ghostty: port the CyberQueer theme (palette, cursor/selection colors)
to a new Ghostty config, with a real per-pixel custom-shader instead of
a static image — color-preserving bloom, procedural scanlines/grain, an
occasional analog glitch/roll burst (tear + vertical roll + chromatic
aberration), and a one-time hologram boot intro that resolves out of
colored static via a downward sweep. Window decorations and the tab bar
are disabled to match kitty's borderless look under Hyprland.
Not wired up anywhere yet — no keybind or $TERMINAL changes point at
Ghostty. This is just the config, ready to test.
The 16 ANSI colors were still stock template defaults (plain green/
blue/cyan) clashing with the violet/crimson palette used everywhere
else in the suite. Fill them in from colors.conf plus a few new neon
tints in the same hue family, set background to the real #1A1A1A
instead of pure black, and add matching border/bell/mark colors. Also
drop a stale cursor-color pair in kitty.conf that the theme include
was silently overriding anyway.
Replaces the ∿-glyph label divider with a Gtk.DrawingArea that strokes a sampled
sine wave (soft-glow + bright-core passes), colour per urgency (magenta / accent),
phase-advanced each tick so it travels like a live signal. Background stays
transparent — a class-specific rule overrides the CyberQueer theme's universal
`background-color`, so no dark pill shows behind it.

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)

Themes dunst in the astro-menu idiom: emitted-magenta text, violet holo-glass
backgrounds (transparent for the compositor blur), glow-violet/accent frames,
Agave Nerd Font Mono, and a "radio squiggle" sine-wave divider between title and
body. (Superseded by the beacon daemon in a following commit, but kept as themed
fallback config.)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The materialise intro was driven only by the frame-clock tick, which stops
advancing when the compositor withholds frame callbacks (e.g. the bar restarted
into an idle compositor) — freezing it at t=0 with content stuck at opacity 0,
i.e. permanent static. Arm a GLib.timeout alongside start_intro() that
force-resolves the intro regardless, so content always appears.

Right-click now fetches the item's com.canonical.dbusmenu layout and renders it
in a GTK popover anchored to the icon, instead of calling the SNI ContextMenu
method. Fixes menus opening at screen (0,0) for apps that implement it (Discord)
and gives a menu at all for dbusmenu-only apps (nm-applet, blueman). Supports
sections, submenus, checkmarks, icons and Event-on-activate; themed to match the
suite (.station-tray-menu).

`hyprctl dispatch` evaluates its argument as Lua here (hyprlua), so the old
native `dispatch exec <cmd>` form parsed as a Lua syntax error and was silently
dropped — every Tools/Scripts/Management entry failed to launch. Route through
hl.dsp.exec_cmd(...) instead (matching binds.lua), keeping the [tag ...] rule
prefix support.

hyprdrive has no DE component owning org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher (waybar/eww
used to), so tray apps had nowhere to register and every SNI host — including the
bar's own tray.py — saw an empty tray.
- sni_watcher.py: a minimal StatusNotifierWatcher — owns the name, tracks
registered items/hosts, drops items on NameOwnerChanged, and emits the
registration signals + PropertiesChanged so hosts stay live.
- main.py: start it in do_startup, before the bars.
- tray.py: watch the watcher name (bus_watch_name) instead of connecting once, so
the host attaches when our watcher appears and recovers if any watcher restarts.
Verified: the watcher owns the bus name, IsStatusNotifierHostRegistered is true,
and running tray apps (udiskie, nm-applet, blueman, Steam) register + render in
the bar the moment it comes up.

Second daily-driving pass over the Cosmonaut Shell suite.
Animations (all four surfaces):
- Removed every slide-in reveal; each surface now only "materialises out of
static" (compositor no_anim layerrule + in-app hologram intro). Longer, noisier,
gradual fade-in: the content opacity ramps 0->1 (fade_widget) instead of a solid
haze block popping on. Added a quick reverse "dissolve into static" outro on
close. horizon-dock/orbit-menu use a slower 2.4s intro. Fixed a warm-reopen bug
where a stale frame-clock baseline skipped the intro entirely.
horizon-dock:
- Center planet: bigger, sinks ~1/4 below the screen edge, translucent holographic
body with a wide bloom halo, specular sheen, rim glow and a breathing pulse.
- Ornamental satellite glyphs: two rings framing the windows orbit, each with a
random 3-7 satellites whose motion source is randomised (toward-cursor / mouseX
/ mouseY), so the quiet edges feel alive.
- Super+D now opens horizon-dock (astro-menu moved to Super+Shift+D).
orbit-menu:
- Classic dmenu mode: `--dmenu` reads newline items from stdin, shows them as ring
nodes, prints the choice to stdout (exit 1 on cancel). Standalone NON_UNIQUE app
so it never routes to the resident daemon; scripts/orbit-dmenu.sh wraps it with
the gtk4-layer-shell preload.
astro-menu (sci-fi rework):
- Replaced the map module with "Ship Systems": a Gtk.Grid system monitor backed by
backend/sysmon.sh. CPU->Thrusters, GPU->Hyperdrive, RAM->Life Support Systems,
Storage->Cargo Hold (one aligned row per mounted drive with capacity), each a
bracketed -<████░░░░>- usage meter + -( 54°C )- temperature readout.
- Renamed Bluetooth -> System Radio, Network -> Laser Antenna Uplink.
- Weather gains a "Planetary Environment Report" headline.
station-bar:
- The battery readout uses a fuel-tank glyph (the ship runs on fuel).

Daily-driving pass over the Cosmonaut Shell suite: transparency, holographic
effects, and layout/geometry fixes across every component built for the DE.
Global holographic layer (astro-menu/horizon-dock/station-bar lib/hologram.py):
- edge-fade mask (A8 DEST_OUT) so scanlines fade out at panel borders
- magenta particle field; "materialize from static" noise-mask intro animation
- optional clip_func so the mask follows non-rectangular / animated content
- universal `* { background-color: transparent }` at USER+1 to defeat the
CyberQueer theme painting opaque bg on plain containers; blur layer_rules
astro-menu: magenta text (alt red) for readability; thinner, glowier borders;
rounded map-texture corners; fixed transparency stacking + square corners.
orbit-menu: scanline mask now follows the zoom transition into a submenu.
horizon-dock: reworked into an orbit-menu node ~1/3 on-screen (<=2/3 width) with
horizon perspective (arched orbit rows), a non-functional center clock-sphere,
orbit glyph decorations, graceful edge fade-out, and centered/filled orbits;
tray removed; giant-surface clip fixed.
station-bar: redesigned as an extra Horizon Dock orbit — bare glowing color-coded
glyphs (no pills), width-adaptive, one bar per monitor, Super+Z toggles the
focused monitor's bar. Clickable HUD trapezoid around the title opens Astro Menu.
Workspaces are now per-monitor: each bar shows only its own monitor's workspaces
and highlights that monitor's active workspace. Populated workspaces show the
station glyph, empty ones the bare spaceship + number; the focused one is framed
by a `-< >-` reticle with the rocket prepended when there's a station to dock at.

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.
