alexion b9749dd6a2 fix(desktop): correct dwindle keybinds and speed up the terminal
Two issues surfaced on the live neogaia session. Hyprland rejected two names
at load: the split toggle is a dwindle layout message reached through
layoutmsg, not a top-level dispatcher, and dwindle:pseudotile no longer exists
in this version. Bind Super+T via layoutmsg and drop the pseudotile option.

Ghostty also cold-started GTK on every launch. Configure it through
home-manager with gtk-single-instance so windows after the first open in the
existing process. Record the dispatcher/option version-drift trap in CLAUDE.md.
