jochen 838e1c2616 i3status-rust: the bars as a module, claiming node-bar (hq ADR 0208)
Owns both bars and their icons, the bar blocks as an i3 drop-in; the battery,
GPU and headset blocks leave (hardware and a person's devices), the weather needs
no key; the update count and the bar watchdog become module code, the watchdog
started once per session. Go tools reload, blocks, block-run and themes.

# i3bar-watchdog [session-pid] (module i3status-rust, novox/hq ADR 0208): respawns a bar that died.
#
# i3 starts one i3bar per `bar { }` block and never restarts one that exits, and a reload does not
# either. Changing the monitor setup reliably kills the bar that owns the tray. This brings back the
# one missing i3bar, without restarting i3, and logs the outputs at that moment: the evidence for the
# cause, which is i3bar's.
#
# Started once per session from the session's start, with the session's own pid; it ends when that
# process does. Adopted from the predecessor's i3-bar-watchdog user unit of 2026-10-04.
