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.

Lead Appearance with light and dark, and stop pages listing whole datasets
Appearance was six cards deep and Light/Dark was the third of them, below the wallpaper grid and the entire lock screen -- so the control reached most often was the last one you got to. It is five tabs now, Theme first. The mock showed four; the page turned out to have eleven cards, so Titlebars and Windows became Windows, and Clock and vitals became Shell, rather than pretending four would hold them. Region, Date & Time and Displays each rendered a complete dataset as rows: every installed locale, the whole tz database, every mode the monitor advertises. The chooser was never the problem -- SearchPicker already existed and worked. It was simply rendered always-expanded, so the one line saying what is currently set sat under hundreds that were not. PickerRow collapses each behind its current value and closes again once something is picked. The avatar never appeared to change because accountsservice writes every picture to the same path, leaving the URL byte-identical while Qt served its cached image. cache:false was already set and could not have helped: an unchanged source is never re-read at all. avatarUrl now carries a revision fragment, bumped only when a write actually succeeds. Pictures are cropped before they are set, in the picture's own pixel coordinates so the result does not depend on the size it happened to be displayed at, and written out at 512x512 through GdkPixbuf -- already a dependency here, so nothing new is required. Snapshots listed nothing. The timeline and its Delete buttons existed the whole time, behind a row labelled "Browse...", a word that promises a file browser. The three most recent points are shown inline now, with the rest one press away. qmldir-registration-contract exists because an unregistered component is not a quiet problem: Quickshell fails the entire configuration on it, so the settings window dies and the bar and dock go with it. That happened twice while writing this, both times on a machine somebody was using. It is pure file inspection, so it runs before a change ever reaches the running shell.

Convert British spellings to American across the repo
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.

Add wallpaper, power, date, accessibility, and real search
Continues the settings expansion toward replacing GNOME Settings for everything Panama actually owns. Wallpaper. A thumbnail grid rather than a path field: the value of this setting is the picture, so typing a path to something you cannot see is the worst version of it. Two things about hyprpaper 0.8 shaped this. Its IPC is much smaller than older documentation suggests -- preload, listloaded, unload, and reload all answer "invalid hyprpaper request", so setting is a single call with no preload. And the "<empty>,<path>" form that used to mean every output is silently ignored, so a wallpaper set that way appears to succeed and never changes; outputs are walked explicitly instead. hyprpaper.conf lives in the repo through the ~/.config/hypr symlink and so cannot hold machine state, which is why the choice lives in the shared settings store and is re-applied at startup. Power & Lock. hypridle has no IPC for reconfiguration and its config is hyprlang rather than the shared JSON, so scripts/panama-idle generates a config from the settings store and restarts the daemon. The generated file lives under XDG_STATE_HOME for the same symlink reason, with a systemd drop-in pointing hypridle at it. Management is a real state and the page says which one you are in rather than showing sliders that quietly do nothing. Zero means never for all three timers, which a naive template would render as "immediately". Date & Time. Deliberately not stored in Panama's settings: the timezone and network time belong to the machine and are shared with sessions that never see this file. Storing a copy would create a second answer to a question the system already answers. Reads and writes timedatectl directly; a cancelled polkit prompt surfaces as an error rather than as a value that appears to have been accepted. Accessibility. Pointer size and text scale have to agree across three consumers with no shared configuration -- the compositor, GTK, and the shell -- so the store is the source of truth and the values are pushed outward to gsettings and hyprctl setcursor. Search now indexes the schema instead of the twelve page labels. "gaps", "wallpaper", and "screenshot" previously found nothing on an app that has all three, which is the clearest way a settings app feels smaller than it is. Shortcuts are indexed by what they do. A contract asserts every non-internal schema label is reachable, so a new setting cannot be added in an undiscoverable state. The GNOME delegation allow-list was widened to the panel names gnome-control-center actually reports; the previous list contained "users", which is not one of them and so opened nothing.
