gitops 1d3252aabd Give rofi a theme, in four layers
`rofi -show drun` came up unstyled. Three separate reasons, all of them
invisible: `import-theme` wrote ~/.config/rofi/theme.rasi, but rofi only ever
auto-loads config.rasi and nothing imported theme.rasi; theme.rasi holds a
HyDE palette and nothing else, no widget geometry at all; and no layout was
shipped anywhere for it to colour.

The layering mirrors what config/waybar already does, for the same reason --
a theme supplies colours, and the layout has to survive being handed a theme
that defines only some of them:

  1. palette.rasi   defaults, under the exact names HyDE themes use
  2. theme.rasi     the installed theme's rofi.theme, written by cosmic-conf
  3. rules.rasi     geometry and layout, with no colour literals at all
  4. local.rasi     per-machine paths: sidebar wallpaper, icon theme

Later imports win, so a theme recolours the launcher without rules.rasi
knowing a theme exists, and a machine points at its own wallpaper without
either of them knowing the path. Unlike waybar there is no bridge step: a HyDE
rofi.theme defines the names rules.rasi already references.

1 and 3 are shared and go under /usr/share/hyprcosmic/rofi. 2 and 4 must be
per-user, and config.rasi with them: it imports those two relatively, and rofi
resolves a relative @import against the importing file's directory.

rules.rasi is HyDE's style_1 with three deliberate departures, documented in
its header. HyDE computes the border width, radius and font in rofilaunch.sh
before invoking rofi; there is no launcher script here -- the keybinding runs
`rofi -show drun` bare -- so those are baked in. The sidebar image moves to
local.rasi because HyDE's ~/.cache/hyde/wall.thmb does not exist outside HyDE.
And dummywall gets `background-color: @main-bg` rather than transparent, so a
machine with no wallpaper set shows a panel instead of a hole.

The display-* labels are Nerd Font glyphs copied byte-for-byte out of
style_1.rasi. They are Private Use Area codepoints and do not survive being
retyped; verified as U+F303, U+F120, U+F07B, U+F2D0, each followed by a thin
space, and confirmed present in JetBrainsMono Nerd Font via
`fc-list :charset=`.

Verified with `rofi -dump-theme` and `-dump-config`: both exit 0 with empty
stderr, and the merged dump shows the Tokyo Night theme's main-bg beating the
palette default.

/* rofi configuration and theme entry point for a HyprCosmic session.
*
* Below the configuration block this file is only an import list, because the
* order is the whole design:
*
* 1. palette.rasi default colours, under the names HyDE themes use
* 2. theme.rasi the installed HyDE theme's rofi.theme, if any
* 3. rules.rasi geometry and layout; no colour literals at all
* 4. local.rasi per-machine bits: the sidebar wallpaper, the icon theme
*
* Imports are read strictly in sequence and a later definition of a property
* wins over an earlier one. That is what lets step 2 recolour the launcher
* without step 3 knowing a theme exists, and step 4 point at a wallpaper
* without either of them knowing the path.
*
* There is no bridge step, unlike waybar: a HyDE rofi.theme defines exactly the
* names rules.rasi already references, so nothing needs mapping.
*
* Steps 2 and 4 are relative imports, which rofi resolves against the directory
* of the importing file. That is why this file belongs at
* ~/.config/rofi/config.rasi rather than under /usr/share: both are per-user.
* It is also the only name rofi loads on its own, so `rofi -show drun` from a
* keybinding picks all of this up with no arguments and no launcher script.
*
* Both relative imports must exist. A missing @import is an error rofi reports
* in place of the launcher, not a warning it skips, so `cosmic-conf` writes
* theme.rasi and local.rasi even when there is nothing to put in them -- empty,
* in which case the defaults from step 1 stand.
