Per ghostty#3109, transparency settings apply on config reload when a split is open — no full restart required.

ghostty-transparency now automates the workaround via osascript:

  1. Opens a temporary split (cmd+d)
  2. Triggers a config reload (cmd+shift+,)
  3. Closes the split (cmd+w)

Falls back with manual instructions if Accessibility access isn't granted to the calling app.

background-blur hot-reload does not work on macOS in practice, matching
the documented behaviour of background-opacity. Update message accordingly.
