docs: expand desktop-settings spec and add panel prototypes

I folded the home-handoff control-set decisions into the desktop-settings panel spec. The controls table gains night-light, Do Not Disturb, power profile, lock/suspend actions, scenes, and a wallpaper sub-view. Volume and theme are out of scope, with reasons, and the format pickers move to their own display-format sibling spec (stubbed). The scenes and wallpaper-shape decisions close. The spec stays DRAFT pending UI prototyping.

I added five direction prototypes over a shared engine (tile grid, sectioned rack, scenes-first, instrument cluster, expandable rows) so the layout gets picked against working behavior.

I closed the shipped Next Session Focus work in todo.org: notification loudness, clock right-click dismiss, date-only scrolling, the wired-interface indicator, and best-saved WiFi connect, plus velox boot recovery. The three design-blocked network and audio items stay TODO with their open question recorded.

+On 2026-07-19, Craig selected the following autonomous work. Status after the
+2026-07-19 evening session: 5 shipped (dotfiles, pushed), 3 held for a design
+decision. Each shipped item has its own DONE task below.
+
+Shipped: notification loudness -40% (808ca23); clock panel right-click dismiss
+(fc9a2b7, live-verified); date-format scrolling as a date-only ring (9dfe082);
+show the active wired interface (22867f9); connect the best saved WiFi profile
+on enable (9105361).
+
+Held for a design decision (not solo — each needs Craig's call, kept as TODO
+below):
+- Order network connections by availability — the task wants one tiered list
+  (available saved -> available unsaved -> unavailable saved), but the panel
+  spec says "three labelled groups, never one merged list" with Saved MRU-first.
+  Reorder within Saved only, or merge into one list (overriding the spec)?
+- Indicate hotspot/metered WiFi in amber — "hotspot" is ambiguous (connected-to
+  a phone hotspot vs the machine running an AP), and metered detection needs new
+  nmcli reads on the status fast path (contract is "one nmcli call").
+- Audio doctor mic/input health — points at docs/specs/2026-07-10-audio-doctor-
+  input-side-spec.org (DRAFT, four decisions open).

-SCHEDULED: <2026-07-16>
+** DONE [#A] Velox boot recovery — no kernel in BE :bug:velox:zfs:
+CLOSED: [2026-07-19 Sun]
+Recovered. Velox boots linux-lts 6.18.38 and is back on the tailnet (up 1d+, /boot holds initramfs-linux-lts.img). The pre-pacman ZFS snapshot rollback restored the kernel from the ZBM recovery shell.
 Velox won't boot: ZBM prompts for the passphrase, unlocks, then reports no bootable environment with a kernel. Cause: an interrupted kernel =-Syu= removed the old kernel and never installed the new one — /mnt/be/boot (from zroot/ROOT/default) holds ONLY intel-ucode.img; vmlinuz-linux + both initramfs are gone. /boot lives inside zroot/ROOT/default (no separate boot dataset), so root-dataset snapshots capture it.
 
 Status 2026-07-15: a first rollback attempt did NOT fix it (square zero after reboot) — suspected typo in the snapshot name, so the rollback likely errored and did nothing. NOT verified. Next session: verify state in the ZBM recovery shell BEFORE any reboot.

+- ADD controls: night-light / color temperature; Do Not Disturb / notifications (dunst); lock / suspend quick actions; power profile (performance/balanced/saver); scenes/profiles — one control flipping several toggles at once (Focus, Presentation, Battery-saver, Night). Scenes are the payoff of consolidating everything.
+- OUT (record reasons): volume / master-mute stays with the audio panel (no mirror here); theme light/dark goes to the theme-studio task.
+- FORMAT PICKERS pulled to their own future sibling spec — time/date/weather format is out of THIS panel. Rationale: format settings live in many programs, so the design problem is a single source of truth for the canonical format. Track a future sibling-spec stub in docs/specs (time/date/weather format single-source-of-truth); Craig thinking it through separately, not started.
