Consumes #108 (control-plane follow-up slice).

What

  • emacs_ui.py: widget-relative popup geometry (left/center/right under the clicked widget's bar, clamped to its physical screen incl. non-zero origins), structured shell-free emacsclient argv, worker-thread launch. No alternate editor: a missing Emacs server fails in the worker and raises a desktop notification — it can never spawn a second full-size window (root cause of the live two-window bug).
  • lisp/qtile/qtile-ui.el + qtile-ui-org.el: one shared frame lifecycle — stable popup IDs, registry with restart rediscovery via frame parameter, chrome-free undecorated frames, user-position geometry, q/Escape dismissal, Org dashboard faces.
  • Notification backend: persistent dmenu/emacs setting with atomic writes (ui-settings.json); Dmenu UI preserved; both backends consume one Dunst history adapter (dunst_history.py) that surfaces errors and keeps every record.
  • SERVICES dashboard: real fourth-dropdown example (systemd user units, two-step restart).
  • Workflow picker re-anchored to its widget through the shared launcher; JSON vectors converted for completing-read.
  • qtile_system.py: root free space + root disk I/O rates resolved from the / mount through sysfs slaves/partition relationships (no hardcoded device names — verified with arbitrary-name fixtures); fixed-width telemetry icon cells (compact disk cell).
  • NetIORate replaces the stock widget.Net showing 'auto not found'; the verified combined graph and OpenRouter renderer are untouched except display-column-aware long-range aggregation that preserves genuine gaps.
  • Floating rules for all qtile-* popup titles so frames render as dropdowns, not tiled windows.

Verification

  • 185 Qtile Python tests + 8 ERT tests green; py_compile; qtile check; literate parity (check-literate-sync + literate-sync.sh); shell suites; nix flake check --no-build; all four Home Manager profiles evaluate.
  • Live: reloaded on the running session; bar rebuilt (NetIORate, disk cluster); no Emacs respawn without a server; popup geometry derived from clicked widget confirmed in generated expression.

Docs
