Restarting immediately after the plugin rescan races Quickshell IPC handler creation and can crash the exiting shell. The normal update flow already restarts after migrations. Let this migration finish through live enablement and placement without adding timing workarounds.
Link the package into the existing plugin directory and let bar put handle enablement, clock-relative placement, and the missing-clock fallback. Preserve user checkouts and existing placements, and seed the same link for new users. This removes the Atreyu packaged-discovery prerequisite and the checkout cleanup and JSON rewrite machinery.
The shell drops its own player: BackgroundMedia is image-only, and the
lock loads Owe.LockFeedSurface through a Loader, so a system without the
module shows no lock video instead of losing the whole lock screen. The
feed pauses per output when the panel blanks or power saver turns on.
The lock view keeps its still effect path and darkens the feed for
legibility. QtMultimedia and the shell video pause policy are gone, and
the base package list requires owe and owe-lockfeed instead.
The desktop background no longer plays videos. OWE owns video
backgrounds, and the shell layer stays empty behind one. The shell keeps
stills, which OWE hands back to it.
Remove the desktop video pause plumbing that only existed to stop an
unseen player: the lock, idle, and battery service lookups, the
per-output fullscreen check, the first-screen audio opt-in, and the audio
output in BackgroundVideo. The lock screen keeps its own silent playback.
Update the background tests, the manual, and the package note.
The background plugin now watches for the OWE daemon socket. While OWE is
running, the desktop yields video playback to it and the shell keeps
stills. The lock screen keeps its own playback.
This lets Omarchy cooperate with OWE without OWE editing shell.json, so
the engine can ship as a package.
Add a package-list note that owe-wallpaper-engine must be added once it is
packaged.
Retire only checkouts whose refs and reflogs are reachable from recorded origin history, and preserve ignored files. Leave configs without an explicit supported bar layout untouched so migration does not replace the shell fallback with an almost empty bar.

Elsewhen (omacom.elsewhen) arrives as the elsewhen package under
/usr/share/omarchy/plugins, the packaged root the shell scans between its
bundled plugins and the user's. It opens the right section of the default
bar, just before the tray, and a migration installs the package, writes the
widget into a customized shell.json in the same spot, and retires a pristine
pre-package clone of the upstream repo that the package now shadows.
The settings package's pre-transaction hook runs this command under
pacman's transaction. Its lock wait was unbounded, so a stalled grant
operation could hang pacman indefinitely before AbortOnFail ever saw a
result. Grant operations are short; wait at most 60 seconds.

pacman continues a transaction after a failed scriptlet. Model that in
the shared package-scriptlet contract: a failed pre_upgrade followed by
post_upgrade must keep the removal blocker while a rule remains, a
clean retry recovers, a stranded blocker with a live rule is cleaned by
the next completed installation, a fresh install that cannot remove a
leftover rule leaves publication refused, and the sweep does not depend
on inherited glob state.

The protected entrypoints revoked the sudo timestamp before installing
their cleanup traps, so a signal or failure during that first sudo -k
exited without the cleanup path. Install the traps first.
The shell restart probed the notification bus name with busctl's
default 25 second timeout, so an unresponsive user bus could stall the
restart by that much per probe. Bound each probe to one second.

Restarting the shell waited for the notification bus name to reappear
before it would re-acquire a lock whose client had died. A slow or
failed notification plugin then left the user stranded behind
Hyprland's failsafe even though the lock service worked.
Wait for the shell's core IPC, re-secure the lock immediately, and only
then wait for a previously running notification service, reporting it
separately if it never returns. Cover the never-returning case: the lock
comes back and the restart still reports the missing service.

Three review findings on the update-hook boundary:
The pre-refresh-pacman hook had been moved after the refresh transaction
and, during a channel switch, deferred to the very end. That defeated the
hook's purpose: custom repositories and IgnorePkg entries were not in
place when the downgrade-capable -Syyuu ran. Run the hook where it used
to run, after the package config is re-synced and before the transaction,
but cold: revoke the timestamp, run it behind the no-update wrapper with
the caller's original PATH, and revoke again before continuing. Every
later privileged command authenticates with --no-update, so a detached
child left by the hook has no reusable timestamp to wait for. Channel
switching hands the caller's PATH to the refresh the same way the updater
receives it, and no longer defers or re-runs the hook.
Stay Awake was released before AUR builds, hooks and mise, so the machine
could sleep during the longest part of an update. Releasing the inhibitor
needs no privilege because the held command already dropped to the user,
so stop it after mise and before the reboot prompt, as before.
A packaged channel destination cannot be inspected before its package is
installed, and a transaction can replace the running tree with a release
that predates the command-scoped wrapper; from then on a bare sudo would
resolve to /usr/bin/sudo and publish a timestamp, and the destination's
own updater authenticates the same way. The switch used to abort only
after the packages had changed, with generic rerun advice. Now it checks
for the wrapper after each transaction before any further privileged
step, completes what it safely can, and stops cold with instructions to
run that release's update from a fresh session instead of launching it.
Boundary tests pin the hook between the config copies and the transaction
with a cold timestamp on both sides, the older-destination stop with its
guidance and no launched updater, the new inhibitor position, and the
post-update hook staying unreached on failures and signals. Docs, the
manual and the sample hook describe the restored timing.

Bring in the legacy-grant classifier fix and the reserved-prefix
quarantine from #9457 so this branch no longer carries a stale copy of
that command.
