Popover's container is a plain Item and never measures its children, so
the three-dots menu on a notification card opened as a 240x28 sliver
with its one row clipped out of existence. TrayMenu and AgentUsagePanel
both carry the antidote — implicit sizes on the Popover itself, taken
from the content column — and now the notification settings menu does
too, with rows filling the window width so the hover reaches the edges.

The rebase itself is the previous five commits replayed onto main; this is what
they needed once they landed there, kept separate so the replay stays readable.
The shell did not start. A Column in this branch's notification settings menu
assigned its own implicitWidth and implicitHeight, which a Qt 6 positioner
computes and does not let you set. That took out every contract that launches a
shell -- six of the seven failures were this one line, and none of them said so
until the error was read to the bottom. A Column already measures itself from its
children, so the bindings are simply gone.
Three assertions pinned an implementation main has since replaced, and each is
updated to pin the intent rather than the mechanism:
- The display picker now reads primaryFirstMonitors, which is monitors sorted
with the primary first. Still populated from what is connected, which is what
the contract is for; the sorted list is the point, so the picker opens on the
display somebody is most likely to mean. This branch made that change and
broke its own contract without noticing.
- The accent swatches come from the accentName schema rather than
Object.keys(Theme.accents). Same swatches, same order, one source shared with
every other enum row.
- The OSD used to take no pointer input at all. It takes some now, because this
branch's own design calls for a secondary click on a visible OSD to open its
settings, and a Wayland input region cannot admit one button and refuse
another. The rule that survives is that the region stays bounded to the OSD's
own card: it floats over other windows for a couple of seconds, and a region
bigger than the card would swallow clicks meant for something underneath.
Theme's accent table moved to ThemeProfiles, which is this branch's point -- a
curated accent and a custom profile become the same kind of record. main had
meanwhile given each accent a `gnome` member, the nearest name in GNOME's fixed
accent-color enum, which is what makes libadwaita applications recolor instead of
staying in GNOME blue. That member moved into the curated table rather than being
dropped, and adwaita-accent-contract now reads it where it lives.
Where main had simply moved further along the same path, main won: the focused
border driven by the chosen accent rather than a hardcoded pair, the gradient
built through the shared serializer rather than a hand-rolled string, the
multi-edge dock geometry. This branch's context menu, keyboard focus and
accessibility work sit on top of those rather than beside them.
Three new contracts arrived carrying .sh and lost it, along with the references
in this branch's own plan.
124 contracts pass.

The notification background was a 6% foreground tint over a transparent
window, which meant it had nothing behind it at all: the card sat
directly on whatever was on screen and the text competed with it.
Notifications are the one surface someone reads without having chosen to
look at it, so it now uses a real popover surface -- a little lighter
than one you opened deliberately, because a toast arrives unbidden and
full popover weight reads as a dialog demanding an answer.
Windows that ask for attention are now switched to rather than merely
highlighted, so a link opening on another workspace takes you there.
That setting already existed and was simply off; it is a preference
rather than a hardcoded behaviour, so it can be turned back off on the
Desktop & Dock page.

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.
