Avoid background title updates when no shell window list is visible, and skip output and capture invalidation for titles outside compositor decorations. Preserve focused titles, fresh window lists and capture privacy.
Request high EGL context priority with fallback, cover rendering and native title behavior in CI, and keep audio recording flowing while video capture is idle.

Invalid configuration currently prevents login. Ferese now starts with built-in defaults and shows a notification when the shell is ready, leaving the file untouched. Loading and validation belong to the config module, while the theme module resolves appearance. Validation remains strict, and failed live reloads keep the active settings.
The native Morph regression checks the animated input region and idle frame scheduling while its backing surface stays allocated.
Validation: workspace and Python tests, formatting, Clippy, release build, and isolated Wayland startup/reload and panel-motion tests. Native CI includes the startup regression.

Panel appearance now applies to the whole panel, with seven styles: Floating, Capsules, Notch, Edge to edge, Fused islands, Adaptive and Morph.
- Share composition, geometry, and motion through the renderer-independent `ferese-panel` crate, including native materials, input regions, and Settings previews.
- Add the Morph hub with media, calendar, notifications, controls, workspace previews, hover feedback, and attached mode. Keep recording and low-battery status visible and respect window clearance.
- Cache workspace preview geometry, draw thumbnails directly, centralize Morph transitions, and keep rendering settings local to each shell instance.
- Put Record Screen in the Morph header and show the display control only when an external monitor is connected. Update panel documentation, the desktop screenshot, and native check style names.
Local validation included 660 compositor tests, 191 shell tests, isolated preview-cache checks, GPU Morph captures at 1×/1.25×/1.5×, formatting, and Clippy with warnings denied. The final header change passed all 23 Morph tests. Release workflow jobs are skipped for this PR.
* Coordinate config writes and gate releases on desktop validation
* Use toolkit rc.2 with painting and session lock fixes
* Ignore retired desktop widget settings in existing configs
