AlexandClaude Opus 4.8 72fdf77c19 docs: align man pages with code + fill documentation gaps (0.16.0 audit)
A full man<->code consistency audit surfaced options, format placeholders
and CSS classes that were implemented but undocumented, documented but not
implemented (some causing fmt crashes when copied from examples), and
defaults that disagreed with the code. This aligns the docs with the code
and fixes a few genuine code gaps.

Docs:
- Add the missing waybar-user(5) man page (and register it in meson.build)
- Document previously-undocumented options/placeholders/CSS across many
  modules (custom image-path/image-name/icon-size, graph_type/width/
  datapoints; battery smooth-power; wireplumber format-source/only-physical;
  mpris {position}/prefer-album-artist; network {signalStrengthApp}/compact
  bandwidth; pulseaudio {source_volume}/{source_desc}; upower {temperature}/
  {model}/{native-path}; wwan {power_state}/{imei}; tray ignore-list; and
  many CSS state classes: .sink-muted, .source-muted, .workspace-hover, etc.)
- Correct documented defaults to match the code (hyprland format {name},
  gamemode {count}, cpu-graph interval 5, cava input_delay 4, niri taskbar
  icon-size 16, disk/gps/wayfire formats, menu-actions object type, ...)
- Remove placeholders/options that do not apply (custom-graph {icon}/format/
  format-icons/rotate) and fix crashing examples (wwan {mode}, gps
  format-no-fix); note cava background/foreground/continuous_rendering are
  cava-config-file options

Code:
- bluetooth: accept the documented `controller` key as a synonym of
  `controller-alias` (the option was silently ignored)
- mango/workspaces: supply the documented `{name}` fmt arg (was missing ->
  fmt::format threw)
- privacy: read `tooltip` as a bool (was guarded on isString(), so the
  documented `tooltip: false` was silently ignored)

All man pages validated with scdoc 1.11.4. Not compiled locally (no gtkmm);
C++ build relies on CI.

# NAME
waybar - bluetooth module
# DESCRIPTION
The *bluetooth* module displays information about a bluetooth controller and its connections.
# CONFIGURATION
Addressed by *bluetooth*
*controller*: ++
typeof: string ++
Use the controller with the defined alias. Otherwise, a random controller is used. Recommended to define when there is more than 1 controller available to the system.
*controller-alias*: ++
typeof: string ++
Synonym for *controller*. If both are set, *controller-alias* takes precedence.
*format-device-preference*: ++
typeof: array ++
A ranking of bluetooth devices, addressed by their alias. The order is from *first displayed* to *last displayed*. ++
If this config option is not defined or none of the devices in the list are connected, it will fall back to showing the last connected device.
*format*: ++
typeof: string ++
default: * {status}* ++
The format, how information should be displayed. This format is used when other formats aren't specified.
*format-disabled*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when the displayed controller is disabled.
*format-off*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when the displayed controller is turned off.
*format-on*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when the displayed controller is turned on with no devices connected.
*format-connected*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when the displayed controller is connected to at least 1 device.
*format-no-controller*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when no bluetooth controller can be found
*format-icons*: ++
typeof: array/object ++
Based on the current battery percentage (see section *EXPERIMENTAL BATTERY PERCENTAGE FEATURE*), the corresponding icon gets selected. ++
The order is *low* to *high*. Will only show the current battery percentage icon in the *\*-connected-battery* config options. ++
Or by the state if it is an object. It will fall back to the enabled state if its derivatives are not defined (on, off, connected).
*rotate*: ++
typeof: integer ++
Positive value to rotate the text label (in 90 degree increments).
*max-length*: ++
typeof: integer ++
The maximum length in character the module should display.
*min-length*: ++
typeof: integer ++
The minimum length in characters the module should accept.
*align*: ++
typeof: float ++
The alignment of the label within the module, where 0 is left-aligned and 1 is right-aligned. If the module is rotated, it will follow the flow of the text.
*justify*: ++
typeof: string ++
The alignment of the text within the module's label, allowing options 'left', 'right', or 'center' to define the positioning.
*on-click*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when clicked on the module.
*on-click-middle*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when middle-clicked on the module using mousewheel.
*on-click-right*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when you right-click on the module.
*on-scroll-up*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when scrolling up on the module.
*on-scroll-down*: ++
typeof: string ++
Command to execute when scrolling down on the module.
*smooth-scrolling-threshold*: ++
typeof: double ++
Threshold to be used when scrolling.
*tooltip*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: *true* ++
Option to disable tooltip on hover.
*tooltip-format*: ++
typeof: string ++
The format, how information should be displayed in the tooltip. This format is used when other formats aren't specified.
*tooltip-format-disabled*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when the displayed controller is disabled.
*tooltip-format-off*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when the displayed controller is turned off.
*tooltip-format-on*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when the displayed controller is turned on with no devices connected.
*tooltip-format-connected*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when the displayed controller is connected to at least 1 device.
*tooltip-format-no-controller*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when no bluetooth controller can be found
*tooltip-format-enumerate-connected*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used to define how each connected device should be displayed within the *device_enumerate* format replacement in the tooltip menu.
*menu*: ++
typeof: string ++
Action that popups the menu.
*menu-file*: ++
typeof: string ++
Location of the menu descriptor file. There need to be an element of type
GtkMenu with id *menu*
*menu-actions*: ++
typeof: array ++
The actions corresponding to the buttons of the menu.
*expand*: ++
typeof: bool ++
default: false ++
Enables this module to consume all left over space dynamically.
# FORMAT REPLACEMENTS
*{status}*: Status of the bluetooth device.
*{icon}*: Icon, as defined in *format-icons*.
*{num_connections}*: Number of connections the displayed controller has.
*{controller_address}*: Address of the displayed controller.
*{controller_address_type}*: Address type of the displayed controller.
*{controller_alias}*: Alias of the displayed controller.
*{device_address}*: Address of the displayed device.
*{device_address_type}*: Address type of the displayed device.
*{device_alias}*: Alias of the displayed device.
*{device_enumerate}*: Show a list of all connected devices, each on a separate line. Define the format of each device with the *tooltip-format-enumerate-connected* ++
and/or *tooltip-format-enumerate-connected-battery* config options. Can only be used in the tooltip-related format options.
# EXPERIMENTAL BATTERY PERCENTAGE FEATURE
At the time of writing, the experimental features of BlueZ need to be turned on, for the battery percentage options listed below to work.
## FORMAT REPLACEMENT
*{device_battery_percentage}*: Battery percentage of the displayed device if available. Use only in the config options defined below.
*{device_battery_percentage_peripheral}*: Battery percentage of the peripheral half of a split keyboard (e.g., ZMK keyboards with separate central and peripheral batteries). ++
This is read from GATT Battery Service characteristics that have a User Description descriptor. Use only in the config options defined below.
## CONFIGURATION
*format-connected-battery*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when the displayed device provides its battery percentage.
*tooltip-format-connected-battery*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used when the displayed device provides its battery percentage.
*tooltip-format-enumerate-connected-battery*: ++
typeof: string ++
This format is used to define how each connected device with a battery should be displayed within the *device_enumerate* format replacement option. ++
When this config option is not defined, it will fall back on the *tooltip-format-enumerate-connected* config option.
