* Delete extra themes from the theme picker
Delete on an extra (user-installed) theme opens the shared faded confirmation dialog; confirming runs omarchy-theme-remove and selection lands on the theme before the deleted one. Stock themes and user overrides of them are not offered for deletion, apply/re-ask are blocked while a removal runs, and row refreshes queue so a deletion never leaves the list stale.
* Fail closed on theme deletion until stock themes are known
Keep Delete disabled until the stock listing finishes successfully, so a stock override cannot look deletable in the startup window. Also hold theme apply (and further delete asks) from removal exit until the refreshed rows load, so Enter cannot apply the just-deleted theme in the gap.
Remove the carousel's fade and geometry transitions, hold the reveal until every visible preview has decoded and two frames have pre-rendered (falling back to revealing anyway after 400ms), and drop the fullscreen scrim and its theme tokens so the picker sits directly on the desktop. Only Escape is accepted before the picker is visible.
The menu, emoji picker, clipboard, OSD, reminder flow and Wi-Fi QR code
mapped a fresh surface on every open. Qt drew its first frames before
Hyprland sent the surface's fractional scale: the pixel ratio stepped
2, 1, then 1.6, so on a 1.6 display each overlay showed blurry for
~350ms before going sharp.
A new OverlayWindow keeps the surface. Hidden, it parks as a 1x1,
input-less layer below windows, off the overlay layer so it never
blocks direct scanout. Showing only resizes and raises it, so the scale
is already settled. Content stays hidden until the surface has grown,
so no 1x1 frame is stretched across the screen, and the window follows
the focused monitor each time it is shown. The image picker's own
fullscreen parking moves onto it too.
Each parked overlay keeps a Qt window alive: at rest the shell holds
~40 MiB more RSS and ~20 MiB more GPU memory.

* Run menu summon actions in-process
A menu action that only summons another shell plugin spawned bash and a
qs ipc client to ask this same shell to do it, about 60ms of the path.
Call shell.summon directly instead, and fall back to bash when the call
is refused or the action is anything more than a bare summon.

* Open the theme picker from rows held in the shell
Opening the theme picker ran omarchy-theme-switcher to rebuild its index
and then made a second IPC call, about 170ms before the picker mapped.
The picker now holds the theme rows itself, opens from them at once, and
refreshes them behind the open via omarchy-theme-switcher --print-rows.
It applies the chosen theme with omarchy-theme-set directly, so
omarchy-theme-set no longer preloads the picker.
From the keybinding to the overlay mapped drops from ~245ms to ~83ms.

* Keep the image picker surface mapped between opens
Each open mapped a fresh surface, which rendered its first frames before
Hyprland sent its fractional scale: the pixel ratio stepped 2, 1, then
1.6, so the picker flashed blurry for ~130ms and re-uploaded every
thumbnail texture. Keep the surface and park it transparent and
input-less on the bottom layer while closed, since anything on the
overlay layer blocks direct scanout for fullscreen apps. It follows the
focused monitor on each open.

The May 17 picker performance change made activated thumbnail loads asynchronous, which undid the earlier anti-flicker fix and let carousel movement flash blank thumbnails. Keep lazy activation, but load activated thumbnails synchronously so theme/background picker navigation remains stable. Add regression coverage for the thumbnail loading mode.
