refactor(dunst): drop dunst as a consumer, quickshell presents now
dunst no longer runs on this desktop. notifyd owns org.freedesktop.Notifications and the quickshell notifications shell draws the balloons, reading the palette from ~/.cache/wal/udt-palette.qml like every other quickshell component. So the whole dunst path was generating a config nothing read. It was also actively wrong. pywal rendered ~/.cache/wal/dunstrc from the installed template, then wal.sh restarted dunst on it while @ACCENT@ was still an unsubstituted placeholder, and udt-accent restarted it a second time after substituting. Two restarts per wallpaper change, the first on a broken config, for a daemon that could not claim the bus name anyway. Removes gen_dunst and its TARGETS entry, write_dunst and DUNSTRC, the install block, templates/dunstrc.in and the gitignore entry. The reload table now lists quickshell, which needs no signal: it watches the generated palette and re-reads it in place. The [state] roles stay. They were never dunst-only; waybar module states and conky warnings use the same four. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
