Added

• CAVA audio visualization service for audio-reactive shaders ([#92])
• Spectrum Pulse shader: audio-reactive neon energy with bass glow, spectrum aurora, and CAVA integration ([#92])

• DRY per-screen config validation and shared layout computation
• Audit and normalize log levels across entire codebase

Fixed

• Mutual exclusion between overlay and zone selector during drag ([#92])
• Per-screen shader decisions for multi-monitor setups ([#92])
• Comprehensive multi-monitor per-screen targeting and isolation ([#87])
• Per-screen layout isolation and shortcut screen guards ([#87])
• Zone selector showing on all monitors instead of target screen
• Per-screen zone selector validation and edge cases
• Zone selector defensive setActiveLayout and QML signal verification
• Per-screen override message/button not updating reactively in KCM
• Daemon survives monitor power-off (DP hotplug disconnect)
• Editor: defer window destroy during mid-session screen switch
• Unfloat: fall back when saved pre-float screen no longer exists
• Remove misleading shortcut hint from zone overlay
• WrapVulkanHeaders noise in feature summary; ColorUtils.js QML warning
