- hyprshutdown wired into the graceful power flow (Super+Shift+O logout,
Super+Ctrl+O power off, Super+Ctrl+Shift+O reboot) so apps close cleanly with a
UI before Hyprland exits, instead of a hard systemctl call. Added to the hyprlua
package list.
- Scrolling layout: default window is now 76% of the monitor along the scroll axis
(column_width 0.5 -> 0.76).
- sysupdate.sh: primes sudo once at startup and keeps the credential alive for the
whole run, so no later step re-prompts.

Replaces the scrolling-preset "columns" with a genuine custom tiling layout
(hl.layout.register "lua:columns"): a row of columns where each column is an
INDEPENDENTLY panning vertical strip. Moving focus up/down inside a column pans
only that column to keep the focus in view; the other columns stay frozen — the
combination-lock behaviour that the built-in scrolling engine (single shared tape
offset) structurally can't do.
- columns.lua: recalculate places every window box; per-workspace state holds each
window's column assignment and each column's pan offset. layout_msg handles the
focus/move/count/orient commands. New windows fill the least-populated column;
changing the column count reflows evenly.
- init.lua: for Lua layouts (lua = true), orientation is sent via layout_msg
("orient h|v") instead of the global scrolling:direction option.
- hypr-nav: forwards focus/move/count for the columns layout to hl.dsp.layout(...);
the built-in scrolling path is unchanged.
- binds.lua: Super+Ctrl+Alt+H/J/K/L manage the column / windows-per-view count
(axes follow the workspace's horizontal/vertical orientation).
Menu dropdown for "Columns" now selects orientation (Horizontal / Vertical).

astal-menu: the taskbar ⤢ toggle now collapses the compact strip and mounts
its workspace/window panel as a takeover overlay covering the 2x2 quads (with
a Back button), instead of a popover/inline reveal. QuadGrid gains a generic
takeover overlay; the menu window coordinates show/hide and resets on close.
hypr: new "Columns" layout (scrolling backend presented as independent columns)
with a menu dropdown to pick orientation — "Left / Right" or "Up / Down" — via a
new dir_labels manifest field. The layout menu now tracks direction dropdowns and
fit switches per-layout, so a second directional layout no longer clobbers the
first.
binds/scripts: focus & window-move keys (hjkl + arrows) route through a new
hypr-nav helper so they stay screen-absolute in the scrolling/columns layouts
(the layout otherwise resolves a perpendicular direction onto "scroll the tape",
rotating the keys with scrolling:direction). Adds explicit cross-monitor binds:
Super+,/. focus prev/next monitor, Super+Shift+,/. move the window there.

- hypr/layouts/: drop-in layout registry. init.lua auto-discovers layouts/<name>.lua
(each self-describing) and exposes the global `layouts` table: set_default (picked
in hyprland.lua — now scrolling, direction down), set(ws,name,dir) for live
per-workspace switching (verified it re-tiles the active ws), set_fit(0/1). Writes
a manifest + per-ws state for the menu. Ships scrolling/dwindle/master/monocle.
- Scrolling default: column_width 0.5 (active column < viewport so prev/next stay
clickable), focus_fit_method 1 (centered follow), fullscreen_on_one_column.
- astal-menu taskbar pop-open: workspace layout selector + direction + a "Centered"
toggle (focus_fit_method), and a per-window list — [icon+title → jump][⇤ here →
pull to current workspace], keeping jump-to-window intact.
- eww bar menu buttons open the menu explicitly from the top (menu-toggle.sh toggle top).
