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.
