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superseded).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.

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)
