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).
