fix(menu): #131 — size text menus in ch with a cap, not in % of the monitor
Bernardo saw Recovery ellipsize on a 2560x1440 external, which falsified
the item's model (40% + Inter 11 → "only below 1920"). Real cause: text
menus render through themes/<slug>/rofi.rasi, where boreal + neon-glass
pinned width: 620px (fixed — a wide panel buys nothing) while seven used
40%, and the font is whatever that file says — mostly monospace, far
wider than the Inter that was measured. The modelled combination ships in
no theme.

The insight: a menu must fit its longest label, which is a count of
characters in the THEME's font — so the window must scale with the font,
not the screen. 40% gives a 1366 panel 546px and a 2560 one 1024px for
the same row, and a 14pt mono theme needs ~25% more room than an 11pt one
on both; a percentage cannot see either fact.

Rofi has the right unit (`ch` = width of one digit in the current font)
and `calc( a min b )` to cap it, so every text menu — generated and all
nine whole-swaps — is now `width: calc( 84ch min 65% )`. 84ch fits the
longest row we ship (69 chars) plus icon and padding; the cap is
Bernardo's condition (never sprawl on a low-res panel) and it is
measured, not assumed.

Verified on hardware, not by arithmetic: 84ch = 756px in GeistMono 11 and
924px in JetBrainsMono 14; `calc( 84ch min 300px )` → 300px, so the clamp
really clamps. Screenshots at both ends — the real Recovery menu at 756px
(29% of 2560) with every label complete, and the Acer worst case
reproduced pixel-exactly (888px = 65% of 1366, JetBrainsMono 14) also
complete. Grid views override width per-invocation and are untouched.
checks.rofi-text-width guards the class, proven by pinning boreal back to
620px and watching it fail by name. Acer V3 queued for its own fontconfig.

/**
* Boreal — rofi whole-swap (themes/<slug>/rofi.rasi).
* The base theme: a frosted aurora panel used by every menu (and, as a
* list, the fallback launcher). The app launcher reshapes this into a
* grid via themes/boreal/launcher.rasi, which @imports this file. The
* `configuration {}` block is omitted on purpose — it comes from
* modules/home/rofi.nix. Element structure mirrors the generated theme
* so the theme-grid picker's per-invocation -theme-str still lays out.
