With the Lua config, `hyprctl dispatch` evaluates Lua rather than the
hyprlang dispatcher strings, and `hyprctl keyword` is refused outright
("can't work with non-legacy parsers"). Three scripts still used the old
forms and silently failed.
- toggle_floating (SUPER+W): rewritten around hl.dsp.window.{float,resize,
center}. The Lua resize dispatcher takes absolute pixels only, so the
70% is resolved against the logical size of the window's monitor, and
fullscreen is left first since resize is a no-op while fullscreen.
Floats every window at 70%x70% now, not just 50%x55% for kitty.
- performance: runtime overrides via `hyprctl eval hl.config{}`; drop the
removed decoration:drop_shadow for decoration:shadow:enabled; read the
gamemode flag from `getoption -j` (.bool), which the awk on line 2 had
been picking the "set:" line out of.
- move_by_rules: movetoworkspace -> hl.dsp.window.move{workspace=N}.

hyprlang has been deprecated since Hyprland 0.55 and is dropped after 1-2
releases; this box runs 0.56.2. Migrate Hyprland's own config to Lua and
split the machine-specific parts into profiles.
Config:
- hyprland.lua entry point; the .conf tree is left in place as a rollback
path (Hyprland prefers hyprland.lua and only decides at startup).
- Each require() is its own Lua scope, so hyprlang's global "$VAR" no longer
crosses files: vars.lua / apps.lua / theme/colors.lua return tables.
- hypridle, hyprlock, plugins/* and pyprland.toml stay hyprlang -- the other
hypr* tools keep it.
Profiles (configs/profiles/):
- pc -> DP-1 / HDMI-A-1 / DP-2, all 1920x1080
- laptop -> eDP-1 3072x1920@120 scale 2.0, DP-1, HDMI-A-1 mirroring eDP-1
- Each owns its monitors and workspace-to-monitor mapping; common.lua
generates the 30 workspace rules from the three outputs.
- Selected by $HYPR_PROFILE, else hostname (mainPC -> pc), else laptop.
Fixes:
- pyprland.toml called swww, which is not installed; the wallpaper backend
here is awww. The rotation timer failed silently and both outputs stayed
at color: 000000.
- XF86InputRaiseVolume / XF86InputLowerVolume are not real keysyms (no
XF86Input* family in xkbcommon). They were dead in .conf too; hyprlang
ignored them silently, hl.bind rejects them. Commented out.
- SUPER+SHIFT+R was bound twice (notification reload + bar reload). hyprlang
ran both; in Lua the second would shadow the first, so they are merged.
- The waybar layer rule set no effects and was a no-op; dropped.
- Polkit autostart now picks hyprpolkitagent or polkit-gnome by what is
installed, so one file works on both machines.
Verified with `Hyprland --verify-config` on both profiles (config ok).
