Amir Alexander Abdelbaki 8dfd505ce4 feat(hyprdrive): materialize animations, dmenu mode, ship-systems astro rework 
Second daily-driving pass over the Cosmonaut Shell suite.

Animations (all four surfaces):
- Removed every slide-in reveal; each surface now only "materialises out of
  static" (compositor no_anim layerrule + in-app hologram intro). Longer, noisier,
  gradual fade-in: the content opacity ramps 0->1 (fade_widget) instead of a solid
  haze block popping on. Added a quick reverse "dissolve into static" outro on
  close. horizon-dock/orbit-menu use a slower 2.4s intro. Fixed a warm-reopen bug
  where a stale frame-clock baseline skipped the intro entirely.

horizon-dock:
- Center planet: bigger, sinks ~1/4 below the screen edge, translucent holographic
  body with a wide bloom halo, specular sheen, rim glow and a breathing pulse.
- Ornamental satellite glyphs: two rings framing the windows orbit, each with a
  random 3-7 satellites whose motion source is randomised (toward-cursor / mouseX
  / mouseY), so the quiet edges feel alive.
- Super+D now opens horizon-dock (astro-menu moved to Super+Shift+D).

orbit-menu:
- Classic dmenu mode: `--dmenu` reads newline items from stdin, shows them as ring
  nodes, prints the choice to stdout (exit 1 on cancel). Standalone NON_UNIQUE app
  so it never routes to the resident daemon; scripts/orbit-dmenu.sh wraps it with
  the gtk4-layer-shell preload.

astro-menu (sci-fi rework):
- Replaced the map module with "Ship Systems": a Gtk.Grid system monitor backed by
  backend/sysmon.sh. CPU->Thrusters, GPU->Hyperdrive, RAM->Life Support Systems,
  Storage->Cargo Hold (one aligned row per mounted drive with capacity), each a
  bracketed -<████░░░░>- usage meter + -( 54°C )- temperature readout.
- Renamed Bluetooth -> System Radio, Network -> Laser Antenna Uplink.
- Weather gains a "Planetary Environment Report" headline.

station-bar:
- The battery readout uses a fuel-tank glyph (the ship runs on fuel).

README.md

astro-menu

A touch-friendly GTK4 popup control centre for the hyprlua desktop, replacing nwg-dock and nwg-drawer. Triggered from the EWW top bar (or Super+D).

Layout: a 2×2 quad grid of feature modules over a full-width application drawer. Any quad can expand to overlay the other three; the drawer can expand to the bottom of the screen. A single margined root box letterboxes the menu identically in every state.

Stack

  • Frontend: Python + PyGObject + GTK4, as a wlr-layer-shell surface (gtk4-layer-shell). Chosen over Lua because lgi/Astal-Lua only support GTK3.
  • Location map: a static OSM image stitched from tiles (backend/staticmap.py, Pillow). libshumate does not paint tiles in this environment (the official shumate-demo shows the same blank map), though tile downloads work — hence the static fallback.
  • Services: Astal GObject libraries via introspection — AstalNetwork, AstalBluetooth, AstalApps — plus our own IP-geolocation singleton.
  • Backends: Python/Bash scripts in backend/ (JSON on stdout), run async via Gio.Subprocess so nothing blocks the UI.
  • Theme: style/_colors.css (@define-color, generated from ~/Dotfiles/colors.conf by apply-theme.sh) + style/style.css.

Running

main.py is single-instance. The autostart launches a hidden resident daemon; verbs are forwarded over D-Bus:

scripts/astro-menu-start.sh          # resident daemon (hidden); sets LD_PRELOAD
scripts/menu-toggle.sh               # --toggle
scripts/menu-toggle.sh appdrawer     # open with the app drawer expanded

astro-menu-start.sh must LD_PRELOAD libgtk4-layer-shell (it loads after libwayland under PyGObject otherwise).

Adding a module

  1. Create modules/<name>.py exposing a top-level SPEC = ModuleSpec(...) whose build(ctx) returns a ModuleInstance(compact=…, expanded=…, …).
    • compact shows in the 2×2 cell; a distinct expanded widget enables the expand button (they must be separate instances — GTK widgets have one parent).
    • Declare per-feature toggles via features=[Feature("id", "Label", default)]; read them with ctx.feature("id"). A disabled quad never calls build().
    • Shared state (network, bluetooth, location) is on ctx.services.
  2. Append its SPEC to ALL_SPECS in registry.py. Nothing else changes.
