jelveh 2dbd7f62a5 Dashboard: headless full-tab apps with a floating control pill
Maximized app windows in dashboard mode no longer render a titlebar —
the app covers the full tab. The head's controls move to lighter-weight
affordances:

- A floating pill overlaid top-center of the app (parent DOM, above the
  iframe): expanded it shows the app icon, title, minimize, and close;
  it opens expanded so first-time and deep-link users see it, then
  collapses to a subtle capsule that re-expands on hover, tap, or
  keyboard focus. Minimize routes through the same URL-entry consumption
  as the Back button; close tears the window down normally. Dark
  translucent glass so it reads over any app content; safe-area aware;
  bigger targets on coarse pointers; title hidden under 500px; respects
  prefers-reduced-motion.
- Apps-tab tiles double as the app switcher: a macOS-dock-style running
  dot marks tiles with a live (visible or minimized) window, and the
  tile context menu gains a Quit item for running apps. UIWindow
  broadcasts window open/close so the dots stay current.
- puter.ui.setWindowTitle also updates the pill title.

Only maximized, URL-owning app windows in dashboard mode go headless:
dialogs, explorer, non-maximized child windows, and everything on the
desktop keep their titlebars. dashboard.css's 29px head-height
compensation is scoped to windows that still have heads, so headless
app bodies fill the window exactly.
