Sliding the icons off the screen meant bringing them all back just to
open one menu, which flickered. Draw a frosted window over the other
apps' icons instead: they keep their real positions, so tapping a tile
opens its menu in place with no reveal, and the cover leaves a gap so
the hamburger is never hidden.

The menu is its own window anchored where the item was revealed, so it
survives if the bar re-hides immediately. Revealing for ~0.3s instead of
over a second makes the flash far less noticeable while still opening
the menu in view.

Every Control Center module shares one app icon, so the tray was a wall
of identical tiles. Map each item's title to its own SF Symbol so Wi-Fi,
Battery, Now Playing and friends are distinguishable at a glance.

New status items land leftmost, which on a notched Mac lands under the
notch and is invisible, so the app appeared broken. Replace MenuBarExtra
with a managed status item that carries an autosave name and a persisted
preferred position, and add a diagnostic dump to verify placement.

The menu bar icon is now a hamburger whose panel gathers every other
app's status item via the Accessibility API, so tray icons no longer
need to be hunted down across the menu bar. Items can be opened from
the panel, and a best-effort toggle pushes them off the real menu bar
so they only live there.
