The re-point of a user plugin link stranded by the elsewhen package moving from plugins/ to shell/plugins/ landed in migration 1789581661, which every machine updated between that migration shipping and the package moving had already applied. omarchy-migrate keys completion on the filename alone, so the repair never ran where it was needed. On a dev checkout the shell discovers the packaged plugin only through that link, and a rescan drops a dangling one, so Elsewhen vanished from the bar on the first shell start after the package upgrade.
Renaming the file runs the whole migration again everywhere. Each step is safe to repeat: the package add is a no-op once installed, both link branches are guarded, the rescan is best-effort, and the put keeps an existing placement. The new test holds a state directory with only the old marker and checks the renamed file is still pending, which the old name could not pass.
The 2026-09-19 revision of this migration, and a symlink then shipped under config/, pointed every install's ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/omacom.elsewhen at /usr/share/omarchy/plugins/omacom.elsewhen. elsewhen 1.0.0-2 moved to shell/plugins, so the link dangles, the shell lists the plugin as enabled but never loads it, and the bar carries an empty slot. The migration kept any existing link, resolving or not, so a rerun could not repair it. A link into /usr/share/omarchy that no longer resolves is Omarchy's own and is re-pointed; a link the user made is still left alone.
A bare `omarchy-shell shell rescanPlugins` exits 1 when no shell answers on the caller's tree, and omarchy-migrate runs migrations under `set -e`, so an update run from a TTY or over ssh, or one whose shell had gone down while the package replaced its QML, died at "omarchy-shell is not running" before its post-update hooks, shell restart and reboot prompt, and re-failed the same way every time until a shell could be asked. The rescan is now best-effort, like `omarchy-bar put` already is and like #11117 makes the plugin commands' closing rescan: the update restarts the shell once the migrations are through, and a session without one has no bar to place on. An unknown widget on a live shell still leaves the migration pending.
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 repo moved to the omacom org. GitHub redirects the old URLs, but
`omarchy channel set dev` was still cloning from basecamp/omarchy, which
left every dev checkout with a stale origin remote that confuses gh
(pr create fails with "No commits between omacom:quattro and
basecamp:<branch>"). Update the clone URL, the quattro upgrade tarball,
the update-confirm release link, the systemd Documentation link, and
the manual.

A floating window on the console is not laid out by the gaps, so it no
longer stretches the panel to full width. Moving an app onto or off the
scratchpad and toggling floating now refit too, via
window.move_to_workspace and window.update_rules; both were measured on
Hyprland 0.56.2 to carry the settled count.
