Dashboard: redesign app control pill as a top-edge drawer (#3427)
* Dashboard: redesign app control pill as a top-edge drawer

The floating control capsule over headless dashboard apps consumed
noticeable space, especially on mobile. Replace it with a drawer: a
slim glass tray flush with the top edge (icon + title + minimize +
close) whose tongue-shaped handle hangs from its bottom center. At
rest only the tongue peeks in from the edge; hovering it (mouse),
tapping it, or keyboard-focusing the drawer slides the tray down.
The collapse is a single GPU transform instead of the pill's
max-width squeezes, and the open-then-retract intro now visibly
retracts into the tongue, teaching where the controls live.

Hover-expansion is gated on pointerType === 'mouse': touch taps
synthesize a pointerenter right before click, which made the old
pill's toggle see an already-open state and shut it again.

Also fixes two window-stacking bugs surfaced while testing:

- showWindow demoted stay_on_top windows (every fullpage/dashboard
  app window, created in the 99999999+ z band) to a plain counter
  z-index on restore. focusWindow deliberately never raises
  stay_on_top windows, so after minimize/restore a single dashboard
  focus buried the app permanently. Restore now re-raises into the
  stay-on-top band.

- Pressing the drawer now focuses its window, as the titlebar it
  replaces did. The document-level activation handler works off
  mouseover_window, which only mousemove refreshes — a tap with no
  intervening mousemove (touch, restored windows) would re-raise
  the dashboard over the app.

* Dashboard: restored windows come back with the drawer collapsed

The restore re-played the open intro (expand + auto-retract). A restore
should bring back the app, not the chrome — the user already met the
controls on open, and they just USED them to minimize. showWindow now
forces the drawer shut instead, which also covers the Back-button
minimize path, where the window hides without touching drawer state.

* Dashboard drawer: left-align the title against the icon

The tray is asymmetric — one icon on the left, two buttons on the
right — so a title centered in its fixed box landed off the tray's
true center and read as misaligned against the centered tongue below.
Left-aligned, icon + title cluster as the identity on the left and
the controls cluster on the right.

* Dashboard drawer: morph the tongue into the tray instead of sliding

The drawer is now ONE glass surface that changes shape, rather than a
tray that slides in from off-screen with a handle below it. At rest
it's the tongue; opened, the same surface swells into the tray while
the grabber bar rides the morph and settles into a slim strip along
the tray's bottom edge as the dismiss handle — same handle, both
states. Content is revealed from the center outward through an inner
clipping layer (the surface itself can't be overflow:hidden without
clipping the toggle's touch halo) and condenses in/out of focus with
an opacity + blur + scale crossfade. Opening gets a soft overshoot
and settles; closing is quicker and lands without bounce.

The open width is DERIVED in CSS from the same part variables that
lay out the controls row, so the surface always fits its content
exactly and breakpoints (touch sizes, hidden title under 500px) only
override parts.

* Refine dashboard drawer open-state handle

Update the headless dashboard app drawer so the grabber bar disappears when the drawer is open and only the bottom dismiss strip remains interactive. This adjusts tray/strip sizing on desktop and mobile, adds opacity timing for smooth dissolve/reappear transitions during open/close, and aligns in-code docs/comments with the new behavior.
