companion: a remark for the program in front of her

The focused window's class, from Hyprland's activewindow event, picks a
line from Lines.js keyed app:<class>. The event fires on every title
change too, so she reacts only when the class changes, and a third of
the time, under the existing 30 s line cooldown so alt-tabbing does not
make her chatter. Classes come from the window rules in the live config;
one without lines says nothing. Lines only, no frames of her own yet.
