Gabriel Brown 9b2fa80ab7 Drop the product branding: this is just Settings
It is the system settings app for this desktop, so it is named the way
one is. The window is "Settings", the titlebar is "Settings", the
wordmark above the search field is gone, the sidebar's last row is
"About", and the status line reads "Desktop is healthy".

Prose followed the same rule. Forty-odd strings explained what "Panama"
does -- "Panama never animates while idle", "Restore Panama defaults",
"Panama looks in ~/Pictures/Wallpapers" -- which is how a product
describes itself, not how a settings panel describes a setting. They now
say what happens. No user-visible "Panama" remains anywhere in the app.

Two consequences worth naming:

The SUPER+I shortcut's description is user-visible, because the
Shortcuts page is generated from it, so that is renamed too. Rebindings
are keyed by shipped chord rather than description, so no existing
override is orphaned by this.

Three contracts matched the window by title and one matched that
shortcut by description; all four are updated. There are no Hyprland
window rules keyed on the title, so nothing about the window's placement
changes.

The desktop entry is now Name=Settings, but the FILE keeps its
panama-settings name, as does the icon: the dock pins applications by
desktop id, and renaming the file would silently unpin it.
dock-pins-contract covers exactly that.

The dated design docs under docs/superpowers keep the old name. They are
a record of what was decided when, and editing them to agree with the
present would make them lie about the past.

# Panama
Formerly Sunhat. A personal config for Fedora, with the intention of helping a
user set up their Fedora system with one command.
```sh
git clone https://git.gbrown.org/gib/Panama.git ~/.local/share/Panama
~/.local/share/Panama/install
```
`install` runs everything in `setup/scripts/` in order:
| Script | Does |
|---|---|
| `install-packages` | Repos (RPM Fusion, Terra, Hyprland COPR), then the four package lists in `setup/packages/` |
| `link-dotfiles` | Symlinks `config/dot/<name>``~/.config/<name>` |
| `change-settings` | Copies `config/copy/` over `/`, applies gsettings, enables user services |
Existing configs are moved to `config/old/` rather than overwritten.
## Desktops
Panama configures **two** desktops that coexist. Both sessions stay available in
GDM, so you can switch back and forth while you settle in.
### GNOME
The original setup: Forge for tiling, Dash-to-Dock, Openbar, Vitals,
AppIndicator support. Configured through `config/dot/forge/` and gsettings.
### Hyprland
A from-scratch replacement built to reproduce the GNOME setup closely enough
that muscle memory transfers — same keybinds, same panel contents, same dock,
same Tokyo Night Moon palette.
| Piece | What it is |
|---|---|
| `config/dot/hypr/` | Compositor config. **Lua, not hyprlang** — see its README |
| `config/dot/quickshell/` | The shell: bar, dock, Continuum overview, Settings, Screen Intelligence, focus sessions, quick settings, notifications, screenshot UI |
| `config/dot/vicinae/` | Raycast-style launcher, themed |
| `config/dot/uwsm/` | Session environment (see the uwsm caveat in the hypr README) |
| `config/dot/wofi/` | Fallback launcher, in case the shell fails to start |
| `config/dot/xdg-desktop-portal/` | Portal backend routing |
**Start here: [`config/dot/hypr/README.md`](config/dot/hypr/README.md)** — it
covers the Lua migration, the uwsm environment gotcha, the HDR decision, the
full keymap, and troubleshooting.
Log in as **"Hyprland (uwsm-managed)"**, not plain "Hyprland".
