Adds a timer accessible from the bar. Hovering over the clock slides out a popout where you can set hours, minutes, seconds and start the countdown. While running, a small indicator appears under the clock showing the time left. When the timer finishes, the popout reopens automatically with a bongo cat animation and a dismiss button. An optional sound plays on finish - configurable via bar.clock.timer.soundFile in shell.json, defaults to the included timer-done.wav. The timer persists across shell reloads (uses PersistentProperties). Also adds an optional "Timer" status icon (bar.status.showTimer) - when enabled, a dedicated icon appears in the status icons column instead of the clock interaction. Shows the timer icon when idle and remaining time when running. Toggled from the Taskbar settings pane. New config options: - bar.clock.timer.enabled (bool, default true) - enable/disable the feature - bar.clock.timer.soundFile (string) - path to sound file played on finish - bar.status.showTimer (bool, default false) - show as status icon instead

- Replaced StackLayout with animated Items using y-offset bindings - Each tab uses y: (n - timerPanelTab) * parent.height with Anim.DefaultSpatial - Moved back button into each tab as BackBtn component so it slides with content - Removed static back button from DateTime.qml
Reminder functionality was already implemented in a separate commit by another contributor. Removed all reminder-specific code: - deleted ReminderService.qml - removed Reminder tab from DashTimerPanel (now 2 tabs: Timer + Alarm) - stripped reminder properties and views from Calendar.qml - removed reminderPickedDate from DashboardState - cleaned up FiringOverlay, Wrapper, Bar references to ReminderService
LockState singleton propagates WlSessionLock state. Wrapper.qml checks LockState.locked before opening fire overlay - defers until session unlocks.
SpinGroup was breaking its value binding via internal assignment (spinGroup.value = v). When the timer started, the binding to TimerService.remainingSeconds was already broken from previous user input. Now SpinGroup only emits valueModified - value is always controlled by the external binding, which ticks correctly.
root._store is not a valid property reference - _store is a child object accessible by ID directly, not as a property of root.

Adds a countdown timer to the bar.
How it works
Hover over the clock - a popout slides out with hour/minute/second inputs. You can type values directly or use the arrow buttons. Hit Start. While the timer runs a small indicator shows up under the clock with the remaining time. When it finishes, the popout reopens automatically with a bongo cat and a Dismiss button. An optional sound plays on finish.
The timer survives shell reloads - if you restart Quickshell mid-timer it picks back up where it left off.
Config (
shell.jsonunderbar.clock.timer):enabled(bool, defaulttrue) - enable or disable the whole featuresoundFile(string) - path to a wav/ogg file to play on finish, defaults to the includedassets/timer-done.wavOptional: timer as a status icon
There's also
bar.status.showTimer(defaultfalse), togglable from the Taskbar settings pane (Status Icons row, after Capslock). When on, a dedicated timer icon appears in the status icons column instead of the clock being interactive - the icon shows remaining time while running, and hovering it opens the same popout.Files changed
