…im#1616) On Linux the terminal bell now integrates with native DE attention mechanisms instead of only a synthesized 440 Hz tone: - `[bell] audio` accepts `"system"` (default on Linux) to play the freedesktop event-sound theme via libcanberra, respecting the user's sound theme, output routing, volume, mute and Do-Not-Disturb. It is loaded at runtime via dlopen, so there is no build-time dependency and it degrades gracefully when absent. `true`/`false` stay backwards compatible (legacy tone / off). - `[bell] urgency` (default true on Linux) sets the window urgency / attention hint (X11 WM_HINTS, Wayland xdg-activation) when the bell fires in an unfocused window, and clears it on focus-regain. - `[bell] notification` (default false) raises an org.freedesktop.Notifications notification for an unfocused window. The audio/urgency/notification config values use named enums rather than bare bools to avoid boolean blindness. The cpal tone moves into a new `bell` module alongside the libcanberra binding. Documents the new keys in the rio.5 man page. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> (cherry picked from commit 7d9b299)

Summary
On Linux the terminal bell now integrates with native desktop-environment
attention mechanisms instead of only a synthesized 440 Hz tone (#1616).
Details
[bell] audioaccepts"system"(default on Linux) to play the freedesktopevent-sound theme via libcanberra — respecting the user's sound theme, output
routing, volume, mute and Do-Not-Disturb. libcanberra is loaded at runtime via
dlopen, so there is no build-time dependency and it degrades gracefully whenabsent.
true/falsestay backwards compatible (legacy tone / off).[bell] urgency(default true on Linux) sets the window urgency / attentionhint (X11
WM_HINTS, Waylandxdg-activation) when the bell fires in anunfocused window, and clears it on focus-regain.
[bell] notification(default false) raises anorg.freedesktop.Notificationsnotification for an unfocused window.
The audio/urgency/notification config values use named enums rather than bare
bools to avoid boolean blindness. The cpal tone moves into a new
bellmodulealongside the libcanberra binding. New keys are documented in the rio.5 man page.
Testing
cargo test -p rioterm; manual:printf '\a'in focused/unfocused windows underGNOME (Wayland) and an X11 WM.
Closes #1616
