 **Directory layout**:
 - `widgets/bar/` — `Bar.qml` is the main sidebar (right-anchored, full height) hosting the module stack (date, clock, tray, decorative dividers); `BarTop.qml`/`BarBottom.qml` are thin accent-colored strips anchored to the top/bottom edges.
 - `widgets/bar/modules/` — individual bar widgets (`Clock`, `Date`, `Tray`/`TrayItem`, `Volume`) built on the shared `BarWidget` base component.
-- `widgets/launcher/` — app launcher panel (`Launcher` → `LauncherPanel` → `SearchBar`/`TextField`), currently a WIP skeleton (search box has no backing logic yet, `Launcher.qml` is instantiated with `visible: false`).
+- `widgets/launcher/` — shared `AppModel` search/execution plus eight launcher variants. `ApplicationLauncher` (variant 8 and the primary `SUPER` launcher) keeps its visual core in the headlessly renderable `ApplicationLauncherContent`; variants 1–7 remain available on `SUPER CTRL 1–7` for comparison.
 - `widgets/decoration/` — reusable QtQuick `Shape`-based visual accents (angled panel edges, slashes) used to give bar panels their non-rectangular look. `Dummy.qml` is a placeholder/test rectangle.
 - `widgets/input/` — thin wrappers around `QtQuick.Controls` inputs (currently just `TextField`).
 - `widgets/layout/` — `HorizontalStack`/`VerticalStack`: `RowLayout`/`ColumnLayout` wrappers that expose `default property alias content` for terser call sites, with a trailing filler `Item` that soaks up remaining space.
