This commit addresses memory churn caused by implicit deep copies during traversal and allocation of complex structures:
- Replaced pass-by-value 'Json::Value' in std::ranges and range-based for loops with 'const auto&' or 'const Json::Value&' in Hyprland modules, preventing large JSON tree duplications on every update.
- Fixed implicit string and pair copies in UPower and CPU Frequency loops by converting 'auto' to 'const auto&' where possible.
- Added 'std::vector::reserve' calls before 'push_back' loops in MPRIS, Niri, and CFFI modules to prevent exponential vector reallocation during initialization.

Valgrind Massif profiling revealed that invoking Gtk::IconTheme::rescan_if_needed() inside SNI updateImage() and getIconByName() loops caused considerable memory churn and potential filesystem stat overhead whenever a system tray app pushed a metadata update.
This commit removes the rescan polling from the SNI proxy callback pipeline and the DefaultGtkIconThemeWrapper, restricting icon theme caching to load boundaries.

Memory profiling via Valgrind Massif indicated that 10-20% of peak memory allocations within the SNI loop resulted from copying DBus image data payloads via g_memdup2 before modifying them from ARGB to RGBA.
This commit optimizes the pixel conversion by directly allocating the final array via g_malloc and running the ARGB->RGBA transposition in a single pass while copying from the read-only GVariant buffer, entirely eliminating the intermediate g_memdup stage.

- Replaced pass-by-value std::string parameters with const std::string&
or std::string_view to prevent SSO overallocations.
- Refactored static mapping functions in UPower to return
std::string_view instead of constructing std::string literals, enabling
perfect cache locality.
- Optimized string concatenation in hot loops (network IPs, inhibitor
lists, sway window marks) by using std::string::append() and
pre-reserving capacity instead of overloaded operator+ which produces
temporary heap instances.
These optimizations reduce high-frequency memory churn and overall heap
fragmentation within the main rendering loops.

Command tests did not assert behavior when exec fails in child processes.
I added deterministic regression coverage that forces execl/execlp failure and
verifies non-zero exit status propagation for both open() and forkExec paths.

Child exec failure paths were returning success, which masked command launch
errors from callers.
I switched the child-side failure exits to _exit(127) and added errno-specific
logging so failures propagate with actionable diagnostics.

The hyprland IPC fixture was no longer used by the current test setup.
I removed the dead fixture so the test code reflects the actual execution path
and is easier to maintain.

Hyprland tests did not explicitly verify descriptor behavior on key failure
paths.
I added focused tests for missing instance signature and connect-failure paths
that assert file descriptor counts stay stable across repeated attempts.

Hyprland IPC had fd lifecycle risks on failure/shutdown paths and used a
spin-sleep listener model.
I initialized fd state defensively, tightened connect/close/shutdown handling,
moved to blocking read with newline framing, and added RAII-style fd cleanup in
socket1 reply paths.

SafeSignal could queue events forever when worker threads emitted faster than
the main loop could consume, which risks memory growth and stale updates.
I added a queue cap with a drop-oldest policy so growth stays bounded under
burst load, plus a regression test that validates bounded delivery.

SleeperThread concurrency paths needed stress coverage around wake/stop races.
I added a subprocess stress test that repeatedly interleaves wake_up() and
stop() and verifies the worker exits cleanly.

SleeperThread control flags were shared across threads without consistent
synchronization.
I converted the run/signal flags to atomics and updated wait predicates and
lifecycle transitions to use explicit atomic loads/stores.

We needed a regression test for reassignment safety after lifecycle fixes.
I added a subprocess test that reassigns SleeperThread workers and verifies the
process exits normally instead of terminating.

Reassigning SleeperThread could replace a joinable std::thread and trigger
std::terminate.
I now stop and join any existing worker before reassignment, then reset control
state before starting the replacement worker.

- Fix AudioBackend destructor: properly lock the PA mainloop before
disconnecting the context to prevent race conditions with PA callbacks
- Fix context leak on reconnect: call pa_context_unref() when the old
context is replaced after PA_CONTEXT_FAILED to avoid resource leaks
- Fix PA mainloop killed on reconnect (critical): PA_CONTEXT_TERMINATED
was unconditionally calling quit() on the mainloop, even during
reconnection when the old context fires TERMINATED after the new one
was created. This was killing the new context and preventing successful
reconnection, causing Waybar to appear frozen. The fix only quits
the mainloop when the terminating context is still the active one.
- Fix Wireplumber use-after-free: explicitly disconnect GObject signal
handlers for mixer_api_, def_nodes_api_, and om_ before clearing the
object references in the destructor to prevent callbacks from firing
with a destroyed self pointer.
- Fix GVariant memory leak in Wireplumber::handleScroll: unref the
GVariant created for the set-volume signal after the emit call.

Don't attempt to use niri modules when socket connection fails. Prevents
rendering modules when running another compositor. In same concept as
previous Hyprland change
