- Introduce "side" mode for system bar, versus classic statusbar on top with launcher bar below
- Automatic system bar mode detection with override by Kconfig/device.properties and secondary override by user via Appereance settings app
- Open a quick-settings menu from the status bar for available Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and power controls.
- Apps can display overlays with backdrop or Escape-key dismissal.
- Added focus-container support and improved keyboard navigation, including Fn+Enter on Cardputer devices.
- Power-off controls are available on supported device cards.
- Updated status-bar layouts, simulator display dimensions, and toolbar navigation styling.
- I²C scanning now supports selecting individual buses to rescan.
- SD-card mount status is no longer shown in the status bar.
DTS modules (device modules) often have a single source file with an empty `struct Module`.
The module's yaml file now allows a `dts-only` boolean to be set, so the source file becomes optional.
`devicetree.yaml` is renamed everywhere to `module.yaml`
