QEMU's default COM1 is advertised to the guest via ACPI SPCR, the boot
stub appends console=uart,io,0x3f8 to the kernel cmdline, and Plymouth
deliberately forces its plain-text details mode whenever a serial console
is active. That made every omarchy-iso-boot test show an unthemed LUKS
prompt that real hardware (no serial port) never shows. Remove the serial
device so manual QEMU tests match real-hardware appearance.
omarchy-iso-test keeps its -serial file: logging on purpose — the harness
reads the console log and types blindly, so details mode is harmless there.

Offer the same gum chooser over release/*.iso when no ISO is passed,
and fail plainly when there is no existing ISO to test.

Installs an ISO into a headless QEMU VM by driving the real interactive
install flow: each screen is read via QMP screendumps + OCR and answered
with virtual keystrokes, so the configurator wizard, install dashboard,
reboot prompt, and SDDM login are exercised exactly as a user would.
SSH access is bootstrapped by logging into a console TTY, the installed
disk is snapshotted for fast reruns, and a throwaway overlay then runs
the omarchy repo's in-guest acceptance suite over SSH.

Remeasure the terminal at every screen redraw instead of once at boot:
the framebuffer can settle after the configurator starts (VM windows
especially), which left stale padding for the whole flow. Pad the
confirm-screen warnings with say so every line shares the same left
edge. Boot the test VM with SDL instead of GTK, whose GL display path
crops the guest framebuffer on HiDPI Wayland desktops.
Verified in a live VM by driving the whole flow over QMP and reading
each screen back from /dev/vcs1: all screens center on the real console
width.

The previous per-day cache (iso_YYYY-MM-DD) forced a fresh ~6GB download
on the first build of every day. Different channels (stable/edge/rc)
HAVE different package sets and shouldn't share a cache, but different
DAYS within a channel don't, so keying by channel gives us a stable
cache that persists indefinitely.
omarchy* packages always rebuild fresh inside the container regardless:
build-omarchy-packages.sh nukes /tmp/omarchy-pkg-build at the start
and the final mv overwrites the cached .pkg.tar.zst (pkgver is constant).
--no-cache still bypasses the mount entirely for a clean-slate run.
Also includes the build-iso.sh cleanup that I prepared earlier but
forgot to stage (replacing the inline ugly $(...) conditional pipe
with a normal if/then-fi block).
Dropped the sibling-dir convention ($BUILD_ROOT/../omarchy-installer
etc.). Callers now pass paths explicitly:
omarchy-iso-make --local-source <installer-checkout> <pkgs-checkout>
Errors clearly if either path is missing or doesn't exist.
The previous version made the local build the only path. Convention is
the opposite: omarchy-iso-make pulls released omarchy* packages from
the omacom-pkgs.org mirror by default, and only builds from local
checkouts when explicitly asked via --local-source.
- bin/omarchy-iso-make: only mount /omarchy-installer + /omarchy-pkgs
when --local-source is set. Default has neither mount.
- builder/build-iso.sh: skip build-omarchy-packages.sh when no local
source. Don't filter the omarchy* names out of the pacman -Syw list
in network mode (so they get downloaded from the mirror). With
--local-source, the four package names are stripped after assembly
so we don't re-fetch what we just built.
- For the package-list source: with /omarchy-installer mounted, read
omarchy-base.packages from the checkout. Without it, briefly pull
the published omarchy package, extract the .packages files from it
to /tmp, and use those.
The ISO no longer carries a cp -r'd copy of the omarchy git checkout
into /root/omarchy and the target /home/$user/.local/share/omarchy.
Instead it builds omarchy-installer + omarchy-settings + omarchy +
omarchy-limine from mounted source trees (${OMARCHY_INSTALLER_PATH:-
../omarchy-installer} and ${OMARCHY_PKGS_PATH:-../omarchy-pkgs}),
drops them in the offline mirror, and pacstraps omarchy-installer
during the target install — which deps-in the other three.
- builder/build-omarchy-packages.sh: new. Builds the four packages
inside the ISO build container using each PKGBUILD's OMARCHY_SRC
override (introduced in Chunk 2). Creates a 'builder' user because
makepkg refuses to run as root. Drops the resulting .pkg.tar.zst
files into the offline-mirror directory.
- builder/build-iso.sh: drop the git clone / -v omarchy mount path;
call build-omarchy-packages.sh first; filter out the locally-built
package names from the rest-of-mirror download so we don't try to
fetch them from the network mirror.
- configs/airootfs/root/.automated_script.sh: replace the install_omarchy
cp-and-source dance with 'arch-chroot pacman -S omarchy-installer'
followed by 'OMARCHY_INSTALL_MODE=offline omarchy-install'. Drop the
big chown/chmod block that was setting up the cloned tree.
use_omarchy_helpers extracts the installer's helpers/ tree directly
from the offline-mirror's omarchy-installer-*.pkg.tar.zst so the live
ISO has access to gum-styled logging before pacstrap.
- bin/omarchy-iso-make: always mount omarchy-installer and omarchy-pkgs
(paths configurable via OMARCHY_INSTALLER_PATH / OMARCHY_PKGS_PATH;
default to ../omarchy-installer and ../omarchy-pkgs). --local-source
is now a back-compat no-op.
