Adds a fifth mixer tab, Cards: one row per pactl card (onboard audio, USB
headsets, HDMI, Bluetooth) with just its profile dropdown (Analog Stereo
Duplex, Pro Audio, Off, etc.).
Profile is a card-level setting, not a per-device one — a single card can
back a device in both Output and Input Devices at once, and switching its
profile can make either side appear or disappear entirely. It used to live
on individual DeviceCards in both tabs, which was confusing (same card,
edited from two places) and is exactly what pavucontrol avoids by giving
profiles their own "Configuration" tab. Pulled it out of DeviceCard/
OutputTab/InputTab (which also drops their now-unneeded list_cards() fetch)
and into a new ui/profile_card.py + ui/cards_tab.py.
hyprlua's audio-panel picks this up via regen-audio-panel.sh, unchanged.

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).
