Problem

With Suspend widgets on Game Mode enabled, the toolbar and dock come back about a second after a fullscreen game starts and stay on top of it.

WidgetManager::suspend_all() sets GAME_MODE_ACTIVE and clears every pod, which drops the webviews. Each webview's WindowEvent::Destroyed handler in widgets/loader.rs then runs reconcile() + start_all_webviews() unconditionally, so every widget gets recreated right away, in the middle of game mode.

Log with 2.8.6 (Age of Empires II DE, borderless fullscreen):

[18:57:23][TRACE][seelen_ui::modules::power::application] Power mode changed to GameMode
[18:57:24][TRACE][@seelen/fancy-toolbar?monitorId=...] status changed to: Creating
[18:57:24][TRACE][@seelen/fancy-toolbar?monitorId=...] status changed to: Mounting
[18:57:24][TRACE][@seelen/fancy-toolbar?monitorId=...] status changed to: Creating
[18:57:24][TRACE][@seelen/fancy-toolbar?monitorId=...] status changed to: CrashedOnCreation
[18:57:25][TRACE][@seelen/fancy-toolbar?monitorId=...] status changed to: Creating
[18:57:26][TRACE][@seelen/fancy-toolbar?monitorId=...] status changed to: Ready

This looks like the same root cause as #1565 (widgets reappearing and stealing focus from fullscreen games with this setting on).

Fix

Skip the respawn in the Destroyed handler while GAME_MODE_ACTIVE is set. reconcile() still runs, so the pods are recreated in Pending and resume_all() starts them when game mode ends, as before.

Testing

Tested on Windows 11 with a local debug build of this branch, two monitors, same game:

• Entering game mode: toolbar and dock pods are dropped and not recreated; no bar over the game.
• Leaving game mode: toolbar and dock go Creating → Mounting → Ready within ~2 s on both monitors.

CI passed on the fork. Not tested: exclusive-fullscreen games, lazy widgets, or a monitor being connected/disconnected while game mode is active.

[Medium risk] Widget respawn logic now checks game mode state.

The PR appears safe to merge based on the reviewed widget suspension and resume paths.

Summary

The PR prevents the Destroyed handler from immediately restarting non-lazy widgets while game-mode suspension is active. Reconciliation still prepares pods for the existing resume path.
