Cyclock

Cyclock is Blueprint Desktop's desk clock. It draws OpenGL faces (analog and digital styles), reads ~/.cyanotype/cyclock.conf, and can open preferences via cyclock-prefs (or `cyclock --prefs`).

Start it from the Toolchest or run cyclock. Use `--face token` to pick a face, `--list-faces` to print tokens, and `--notify` to ask a running instance to reload conf.

What It Does

• Shows the time on a chosen face (moonwatch, dual_meridian, abyss, outsize, perpetual, lunaire, marine_box, world_ring, quartz_honest, ship_weather, timer, and others as shipped).
• Face keys: 1-9/0 select, [ ] prev/next, Space chrono, q quit, p prefs.
• Preferences cover General, Face, Weather (where applicable), and Alarms; live apply writes conf and signals the clock.

What It Is Not

• It is not a system time or NTP panel; Localization / OS tools own that.
• Weather on ship_weather needs network; offline it holds the last good reading and shows STALE.
