The discovery retry timer turned adapter.discovering on every second while the panel was open, and nothing ever turned it off. The BlueZ discovery session behind it is held by quickshell's D-Bus connection, so one visit to the panel left the radio in inquiry until the next shell restart — continuously starving A2DP audio on the same controller into stuttering, and 'bluetoothctl show' kept reporting 'Discovering: yes' long after the panel was gone. The panel now tracks the StopDiscovery it owes BlueZ and settles it once closed. A timer bound to the confirmed discovery state does the stopping, rather than a write in the close handler: quickshell only forwards a discovering write that differs from the last state BlueZ reported, so a stop issued while a just-fired StartDiscovery is still awaiting confirmation would be swallowed and leak the session. Binding to adapter.discovering re-arms the stop whenever the confirmation lands, a reopen inside the first interval keeps the scan running uninterrupted, and attempts are bounded so a session another BlueZ client holds up cannot draw StopDiscovery calls forever. One widget instance exists per monitor and they all share the default adapter — the same shared-backend shape the network panel's wifi scanner fix (#6772) dealt with — so the debt follows the session: an instance opening onto a running scan adopts it, a closing instance hands it to a panel still open on another monitor (the popout handoff closes one instance as it opens the next), and a destroyed instance passes it to a surviving sibling.
