Make the Ctrl+Option+Left/Right Space-switch hotkeys toggleable - #4

Conversation
Those hotkeys are registered system-wide via Carbon's RegisterEventHotKey, which can silently override a third-party window-tiling shortcut bound to the same chord (e.g. "snap window right" tools commonly use Ctrl+Option+Arrow too). This is a separate mechanism from the gesture tap, so it can be disabled independently without touching Accessibility or the swipe speedup itself. Adds a persisted `spaceHotkeysEnabled` setting (default true, so existing behavior is unchanged), a "Space-switch hotkeys" menu-bar checkbox, and a `strafe hotkeys [on|off]` CLI command, following the same conventions as the existing `TransitionSpeed` setting. Updates SECURITY.md's persistence section to describe both stored keys. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Add a default-on Space-switch hotkey setting so users can release Ctrl+Option+Left/Right for another app while keeping accelerated trackpad swipes. The menu and
strafe hotkeys [on|off]use the same preference.CLI changes now notify running copies to reload the saved setting without restarting. Repeated updates retain the Carbon registration handles so turning shortcuts off reliably unregisters them. The notification carries no payload and introduces no network access or additional permissions.
Maroun's original commit and authorship are preserved. Integration keeps the menu-bar hiding and macOS 27 Mission Control fixes already on main.
Validation: strict Swift build, all four Swift boundary/overlay tests, C payload/overlay tests, isolated hotkey lifecycle and cross-process notification tests, release bundling, and signature verification passed locally. CI includes the new hotkey tests. The scoped security review is recorded in docs/reviews/2026-09-17-contributions.md.
