Make Shell a category, the bar legible, and the dock a real dock

Desktop & Dock becomes Shell — Bar, Dock, Control Center, Tiling,
Workspaces — the home for everything Quickshell draws. The settings-
management cluster moves to System as Sync & Backup, Appearance's
Shell tab dissolves, and 24-hour time finally lives on Date & Time,
which always owned it.

The bar gets what it never had: a way to survive the wallpaper. A
second neutral text family (follow theme, or forced light or dark),
a one-layer shadow under every glyph, and a gradient scrim for
wallpapers nothing else survives — all off by default, pixel-identical
until asked. Widgets earn toggles (weather, media, clipboard, calendar
countdown), the vitals cluster stops leaving a dead pill behind, and
Control Center's sections learn to step aside.

The dock graduates from MVP: a context menu with window rows, pin,
unpin, quit and new-window; scroll an icon to cycle its windows; drag
to reorder on the dock itself; hover previews with one-shot captures;
and "Add App to Dock" in the launcher. Three real bugs died en route —
menus that slid away with the autohide, a readonly-property crash on
every menu open, and a drag that drifted half a slot per icon on side
docks. The pinned-apps editor in Settings becomes a drag strip.

166 contracts; the full suite is green except two live display and
switcher tests that cannot run behind a locked session — re-verified
on unlock.

+## Shell
+
+Everything Panama draws on the screen has a tab under **Shell**: the bar, the
+dock, Control Center, tiling and workspaces. Appearance decides the colours;
+this decides what is there at all.
+
+### The bar
+
+The bar has no background of its own — it floats on your wallpaper. That is
+fine over most images and hopeless over a few, so the **Bar** tab opens on the
+three controls that fix it. **Bar text** follows your theme by default, or you
+can force it light or dark for the wallpaper you actually use. **Bar text
+shadow** puts a soft halo under every glyph at once. **Bar backdrop** fades a
+thin scrim down from the top edge. All three land on the real bar above the
+window as you change them, so you can watch rather than guess.
+
+Under that, one switch per widget: weather, media, the clipboard button, the
+calendar countdown, processor, memory, graphics, battery and agent usage. A
+switch only ever removes something — turning weather on does not make a
+forecast appear before one has been fetched. The indicators that come and go on
+their own — system health, microphone and camera, focus, a paused video
+wallpaper — have no switches, because they are already absent whenever they
+have nothing to say.
+
+Seconds and the weekday are here too. **24-hour time** is not: it also changes
+the date menu, your notification timestamps and the lock screen, so it lives on
+System › Date & Time with the rest of the clock.
+
+### The dock
+
+**Pinned applications** shows the dock as the dock shows it. Drag an icon to
+move it, hover one for the × that unpins it, and search underneath to add
+something. The order here is the order on screen.
+
+The dock itself takes the same gestures now. Drag an icon along the dock to
+reorder it without opening Settings at all. Right-click one for its menu: every
+open window of that application listed by title, whatever shortcuts the
+application itself offers, then a new window, pin or unpin, quit, and **Dock
+settings** if you want the rest. Scroll on an icon to step through that
+application's windows. Hover one that has windows open and a preview of each
+appears after a moment.
+
+For pinning something that is not running, the launcher has **Add App to
+Dock** — type it into `Super + Space`, pick the application, done.
+
+### Control Center
+
+The panel that opens from the status cluster at the right of the bar. The
+**Control Center** tab turns its sections on and off: Focus, Home and Phone.
+Hiding one only hides it from the panel; the settings page behind it still
+works.
+
+### Tiling and workspaces
+
+The last two tabs hold what used to be spread across the old Desktop page.
+**Tiling** is the window layout, the master area, gaps and window edges, and
+the Hyprland notices Panama keeps quiet. **Workspaces** is the workspace
+behaviour, how long a focus session runs, and your saved projects.
+
+## Carrying settings between machines
+
+System › **Sync & Backup**. Export writes your settings to a file; importing
+one shows you exactly what would change before anything does, and you decide
+then. Below it, **Settings backups** keeps dated copies you can restore from —
+these are your settings, not btrfs Snapshots, which is a different tab and
+covers the whole filesystem. **Restore defaults** is at the bottom: it resets
+appearance, dock, clock, focus and display policy and clears your Home
+accessory arrangement, and leaves your pinned applications, files and paired
+devices alone.
