Installs Oswald (OFL-1.1, from googlefonts/OswaldFont) under
~/.fonts/o/Oswald with its license, and points the clock numerals at it
for the squared look the rounded Noto Sans Black did not have.
Per-widget fonts needed no new machinery: card.font() already takes any
family string, so FONT_* are shared defaults rather than a restriction.
FONT_CLOCK joins them, and the weather card keeps FONT_HEAVY, so the two
no longer have to agree.
Cairo still cannot ask for a weight above bold, so a heavier cut is
selected by family name as FONT_HEAVY already did. Worth knowing that
fontconfig substitutes a default for a family it does not recognise,
which is indistinguishable from the font not applying; fc-match tells
you which happened.

Editing the layout table or a widget needs a conky restart and nothing
else, since the Lua is symlinked and conky never rereads its config.
That was three commands to remember, one of them the hyprctl dispatch
form that keeps the dashboard from popping open over the screen.
The script syntax-checks before killing anything and refuses to restart
on a Lua error, naming the file and line. Without that the first sign of
a typo is a blank workspace with no message on any stream, which is the
single most confusing failure mode this project has.
Falls back to a plain exec where Hyprland is not running, and says what
to run by hand if conky fails to come up.

The numerals scaled off the cell but the date block sat at a fixed drop
below them, so a tall cell left a dead band under the date and a short
one would have collided. Now the date pins to the bottom edge, the
numerals take everything above it, and both type sizes derive from the
width, so the slack of a tall cell falls in the middle of the card where
it belongs.
Type scales off width for the same reason the weather card does: height
is what changes when a row is added to the grid, and a widget that
shrinks its text whenever its cell gets shorter reads as broken next to
its neighbours.
Checked at 1x3, 1x6, 2x2, 2x4 and 3x3 on an 8x6 grid before restarting
conky. The 1x6 case stays width-bound and leaves room below the
numerals, which is correct for a cell far taller than it is wide.
The README now states the convention, since it applies to every widget
added later: derive offsets from the rect, scale off width, decide where
the slack goes, and drop an element that would otherwise overlap.

Adds a Weather section covering the API key, where it lives and why, the
401-while-activating behaviour a new key shows, the execi refresh, and
the by-hand fetch check. Adds five gotchas: execi firing under empty
text, the atomic cache write, what OWM actually returns for a bad key
and city, the no-raise invariant in lib/weather.lua, and type scaling
off width.
Also corrects three things that had gone stale: the symlink list omitted
bin/, the layout example still showed a single full-height clock, and
the test line omitted test_weather.lua.
The screenshot recipe was wrong in two ways, both of which bit during
this work. It slept a fixed second and raced the compositor, which is
how a capture came back showing a terminal instead of the dashboard; it
now polls for the workspace switch. And it fed the window's geometry to
grim -g, but a window on a hidden special workspace reports a negative
Y, so that grabs the wrong region; it now captures the output. Every
command in the file was run as written before committing this.

Install, how to edit the layout table, how to run the checks, and the
five gotchas that cost real time: conky_surface() on Wayland, a Lua
error presenting as a blank screen, own_window_type needing to be
normal, the palette being unreadable through conky_parse, and Cairo
having no Black font weight.
