* Answer omarchy-shell calls over the shell's own socket
Every omarchy-shell call started a qs ipc client, ~45ms of startup for one
IPC call: a theme switch makes two, and every script-driven OSD, toggle
refresh and lock query paid it too.
The shell now serves a socket in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, named from its config
path and Wayland display as qs ipc selects its instance, and omarchy-shell
tries it first through socat, which starts in ~5ms. First-party handlers
register as ShellIpc, an IpcHandler that qs ipc still reaches, and the
socket calls only the functions a handler declares with their exact
argument count, allowed by name so QObject methods such as destroy() stay
out of reach.
When the shell ran nothing it answers SKIP, and omarchy-shell asks qs ipc
for its exact answer, so errors, third-party plugins and an unreachable
socket behave as before. A call that may have run is never retried: a
timeout or a connection closed without an answer reports the shell as not
responding.
omarchy-shell shell ping takes ~13-18ms instead of ~61ms, and omarchy-osd
reaches the screen in ~36ms instead of ~77ms. Output and exit status match
the qs ipc path across 26 calls, errors and quiet mode included.

* Only accept whole socket replies and retry only unmade connections
A reply cut off after its OK prefix passed for the whole answer, and an
empty reply with socat failing was retried through qs ipc although the
request might already have been delivered.
An answer now counts only once its record separator arrived. socat's own
errors join the reply, so only its connect error, a socket nothing
listens on, falls back to qs ipc beside an explicit SKIP; anything else
is reported as not responding rather than retried.

* Support external monitor brightness
Route brightness through the focused Hyprland monitor so internal panels keep using the kernel backlight while compatible external displays use DDC/CI. Preserve the Apple Display backend and leave brightness unavailable when the focused display cannot be controlled.
Add cached DDC bus and VCP range handling, install ddcutil for new and existing systems, and cover backend selection and brightness conversion with shell tests.
* Harden external brightness caching

* Show OSD and sync touchpad steps when scrolling bar widgets
Scrolling the volume or brightness icon in the bar changed the value
directly without ever calling omarchy-osd, so only the keyboard media
keys showed the popup. On top of that, a touchpad's stream of many
small wheel events per finger-drag wasn't matched to a mouse's single
±120 notch per click, so touchpad scrolling felt uncoordinated and
uneven next to the keyboard/mouse behavior.
- shell/plugins/panels/audio/Panel.qml: accumulate raw wheel delta and
only apply a step once it crosses a full mouse-notch's worth, so
touchpad and mouse move the volume in identical 5% increments, and
ping the OSD each time a step actually lands.
- shell/plugins/panels/monitor/Panel.qml: same accumulator for
brightness, with a 5% floor so scrolling down can never blank the
screen.
- shell/plugins/osd/Osd.qml: animate the progress bar's width instead
of snapping, so successive steps glide smoothly.

SCALE only applies to the focused monitor, which is easy to lose track
of with several displays. Show the focused monitor's name on the right
of the SCALE header (matching the BRIGHTNESS/TEXT SIZE value
convention), hidden when only one display is enabled.

A macOS-style slider snapping to curated stops (9-20px), applied via
omarchy-display-text-size. Suppresses hover-driven focus changes while a
size change reflows the panel, so h/l on the slider can't let a shifted
row steal keyboard focus.

Each `bash -lc` starts a login shell that re-sources the profile
(mise activation, /etc/profile.d) on every invocation — ~16 forks per
call versus ~2 for `bash -c` — which taxes every menu/panel/launcher
action the shell shells out for. The session already exports PATH and
env to the shell, so omarchy commands resolve fine under `bash -c`.
Switch the internal/omarchy-owned spawns (theme+background switches,
brightness, monitor scaling, DNS, lock/fingerprint, keyboard-layout
probe, voxtype status, and the `:`/printf state-file writes) to
`bash -c`. Leave `bash -lc` on the sites that run user-configurable
commands (custom bar-widget exec, menu provider/guard scripts,
launcher scan commands, configurable idle/screensaver command), where
a user's command may rely on their login environment.

The monitor panel polled `omarchy-monitor-state` every 5s (26 forks per
call) and the network panel polled `omarchy-network-status` every 3s,
both with `running: true` rather than gating like the sibling panels.
Monitor: gate the poll on `opened` (brightness/scale are only shown in
the open panel, which already refreshes on open) and drive the bar glyph
from Quickshell.screens instead of the polled display list, so monitor
count stays correct without polling.
Network: the bar pill needs live-ish state, so keep polling but at 10s
instead of 3s. (Deriving the pill from the native Networking service
would remove the poll entirely; left as a follow-up since it needs Wi-Fi
state testing.)
Idle fork rate drops ~20/s to ~14/s.
