HyprChromeShell owns what the rail's surfaces have to agree on: the target
screen, the density and the shortcut that toggles it, and the bar/backdrop
layer PAIR. That pair is why the wrapper exists — the backdrop has to sit
exactly one layer below the bar in both densities, and split across two
files the two assignments drifted apart and put the scrim over the bar.
HyprChromeBar is now just its own surface; ChromeBackdrop takes its layer.
The backdrop renders in both densities instead of fading out: full-screen
while expanded, scoped to the band the rail occupies while collapsed, with
a proportional tail fading off the bottom of that band. Both gradients end
on their solid color when there is no fade — with a zero-length ramp the
start and end stops coincide, Qt sorts stops unstably, and the transparent
one winning turned "no fade" into a ramp across the whole scrim.
WorkspacesPanel, between host and vitals, shows the active workspace per
monitor: one accent box per output collapsed, the full strip with the shown
one filled expanded, lined up in a column behind a fixed-width name cell.

A second shell chrome under dotfiles/quickshell/hyprchrome, built around a
BarPanel that carries TWO renderings of its data: the default children are the
expanded detail view, `summary` the terse one shown while collapsed. Both stay
bound to the same sources, so the densities cannot disagree, and the panel
cross-fades between them while its height animates.
Panels: HostPanel (hostname, user, timezone, clock), VitalsPanel (CPU load and
temperature, memory, GPU load and temperature, all metered), TrayPanel (system
tray, self-sizing). HyprChromeBar pins them to DP-2 and owns `expanded` for the
whole rail — SUPER A, via GlobalShortcut "chrome".
GPU busy comes off sysfs rather than the node_exporter scrape VitalsData
already does: the hwmon collector carries the card's temps, power and clocks
but not its utilisation.
The bar's height binds to each panel's `targetHeight` — where it will settle,
not where the animation currently is — because the exclusive zone is
window-sized by default, and binding to the animated height relayouts every
tiled window on the output twelve times per toggle. The zone follows the target
immediately so the desktop reflows once, at the start; the surface itself
shrinks only after the panels finish, or it would clip them mid-animation.
DebugWindow stages a widget in the middle of the secondary monitor
(SUPER CTRL D), masked so only the staged widget takes pointer input.

Config was symlinked from ~/.dots/quickshell (separate dotfiles repo); now
tracked here and applied via home-manager xdg.configFile.
