companion: above the assistant's dim, and typing means a run of keys

The assistant canvas is a full-screen Overlay surface mapped on open,
so it covered her and her think and wave were never seen. She moves to
the Overlay layer and unmaps and maps again when the canvas opens, since
a later surface stacks above an earlier one and Hyprland 0.56.2 has no
layer rule to order them: an `order` key was tried, raised no config
error, and did nothing.

Every key sent her into watching, a shortcut included. The pulse comes
at most once a second, so a lone key is one pulse; she now watches from
the second pulse within 2.5 s. The hypr-theme hook drops modifiers and
chords on its side.
