Context
This is a small follow-up to #162. The existing monitor shield uses the same public window level as Notification Center, so a login-item banner created later can still be ordered above the Receiver. On the 2017 21.5-inch iMac, SDL/macOS could also reset the Receiver from the requested shield level back to level 0 after the delayed fullscreen Space transition.

The patch does not use private APIs or the screen-saver level. Pop-up menus and the lock screen remain above the Receiver. There is no recurring polling: after 2.5 seconds no delayed check remains, and event observers are installed only for an active monitor session.
