* 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.

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.
