Omarchy 4 runs one long-running Quickshell process and its bar accepts
command modules that print {"text", "tooltip", "class"}. That is the
cheapest native frontend Vitals can have: no QML, no websocket, no plugin
manifest, just a command the bar runs on an interval.
bar_widget.py prints that shape from the existing JSON API, with a
workload selector and a tooltip that carries the verdict line. It also
fails soft, because a status bar should never make a session look broken
when the monitor is down.
This is the point of splitting sampling from presentation: a native UI on
another distro is a new frontend, not a rewrite.
