jochen 34829e39fe i3: the window manager holds node-display-session; its config improved and a checked reload watcher (hq ADR 0208)
It requires x11-display and contributes exec i3 to xinitrc's last slot, and
XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP/XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP to the environment. It owns
~/.config/i3/config, ending with the config.d include where other modules drop
their files, and /etc/lemurs/wms/i3, which runs the session's start.

Over today's identical config it drops the dead lxpolkit, the D-Bus-activated
portal, the xrdb merge xorg now does, and the execs that XDG autostart already
started. It sets JetBrainsMono Nerd Font, runs i3-sensible-terminal, and declares
dex, which the desktop lacked.

The tools speak i3's IPC: the seat's reload, workspaces and windows, and focus,
move, layout save/restore, exec, kill, bindings, config check, marks and the
scratchpad. A watcher in the bundle (ADR 0198) replaces the predecessor's inotify
script and user unit. It reloads only a configuration i3 -C accepts, and at its
start whatever i3 has not loaded.

# i3 config file (v4), written by the mesh (module i3, novox/hq ADR 0208). Replaced at every push;
# change the module instead. i3's user guide is the reference.
#
# Other modules add to this configuration with files of their own in ~/.config/i3/config.d/, named
# <NN>-<module>.conf and read in name order by the include at the end, where every variable set here
# ($mod, $ws1 … $ws10) is in scope. A file of yours there is read the same way and is yours.
#
# The reload watcher of this module reloads i3 when this file or a drop-in changes, after checking the
# result with i3 -C; it never reloads into a configuration with errors.
# Font for window titles, and the bars below: the mesh's monospace face (research 026/04).
