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.

+// The bar.
+//
+// Everything Panama draws along the top edge: how legible it stays, what earns
+// a place in it, and how often the readouts refresh. The bar floats directly on
+// the wallpaper, so legibility is a real setting and not a theme detail -- a
+// theme that reads perfectly against the panel background can disappear
+// entirely over a bright photograph.
+//
+// The Clock and System vitals cards came from Appearance's Shell tab, which was
+// the wrong home for them: Appearance is about how surfaces look, and these
+// decide what the bar contains.
