feat: reload.sh restarts quickshell components
The volume OSD drew only its "Output 72%" label, with the icon, bar and device line clipped below the panel edge. The code and the theme were not at fault: a hot reload fixed it, and a debug line logged just after showed the volume row laid out correctly at the top of the panel. The stuck state lived in the running process, so the fix is a restart. quickshell has no reload subcommand and no IPC target for it, and a hot reload needs a real content change to a file. reload.sh kills and restarts each named component, or every directory holding a shell.qml, and prints the qs count afterwards, since the process is qs and not quickshell. It must run from the user's terminal. A detached qs started from an agent's tool call dies with the call, which would leave the desktop without its shells; AGENTS.md now says so under Reloading.
