The control center fix applies to five more surfaces: the date menu,
the clipboard panel, the activity panel, notification toasts, and the
signal glass all opened 48 pixels under the bar while their own
expression asked for 12.
wlr-layer-shell has three behaviors and only the middle one is subtle.
A positive exclusiveZone reserves space; a negative one ignores what
others reserved; zero reserves nothing but RESPECTS what others
reserved. Every popover here uses zero, so the compositor had already
placed them below the bar before their own margin applied, and adding
Theme.barHeight counted the bar twice.
It is not a crash or a warning -- the surface simply opens lower than
written -- so a contract now holds the rule mechanically: a surface
with exclusiveZone 0 may not name Theme.barHeight in a margin. It also
checks the premise it rests on, and fails if the bar ever stops
reserving its own height rather than quietly checking the wrong thing.
Measured after: date menu and clipboard at 12px, control center at 2px,
each matching what its code asks for.

colour -> color, behaviour -> behavior, centre -> center, favourite ->
favorite, and about twenty other pairs, applied consistently across
comments, docs, error/UI copy, and a handful of QML identifiers that
used the British spelling as their actual name: SystemSettings'
serialiseValue/serialiseTable/normaliseGradient, Displays'
normaliseModes, Wallpaper's normalisePolicy, SettingsBackup's
serialiseHomeState, DateTime's ntpSynchronised property, Clipboard's
_normalise helper, and ShortcutCapture's cancelled signal (with its
onCancelled handler in ShortcutsPage.qml). Every call site and the two
tests that assert on the literal source text (settings-ownership and
settings-backup-live contracts) were updated in lockstep.
Left untouched: config/dot/espanso/match/packages/misspell-en/ is a
vendored third-party autocorrect dictionary -- its entries are typo
corrections, not our prose, and rewriting them would fight the
package's own purpose (and any future re-sync from upstream).
The already-American `favorites` property (Home page pinned
accessories) was never actually misspelled -- only nearby comments and
error strings said "favourites" -- so no data migration was needed
there.
