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.

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.

Upstream now runs every Omarchy-owned pacman transaction through the
hidden omarchy-update-pacman helper so a mid-transaction systemd reexec
cannot kill it. Keep the deferred pre-refresh-pacman hook and the
command-scoped sudo wrapper, and call the helper from the refresh and
channel commands; the wrapper still applies to the helper's own sudo.
The sudo boundary fixture copies the helper into its root and runs a
systemd-run stand-in that execs the wrapped pacman step in place.

Upgrading systemd runs its post_upgrade scriptlet mid-transaction, which
reexecs both the system manager and every user manager. When pacman runs
inside a user-session scope (the floating update terminal), that reexec
can SIGKILL it and abandon the transaction halfway, with packages
upgraded but none of the post-transaction hooks run.
Route every Omarchy-owned system mutation through a new hidden
omarchy-update-pacman helper that registers the transaction as a PID 1
scope via systemd-run, keeping it out of the user manager's cgroups.
System scopes survive the system manager's own reexec, and as a bonus the
transaction now also survives its terminal window closing. On unbooted
systems (the installer chroot) the helper runs pacman directly.

Fires after the channel template is copied to /etc/pacman.conf and before
`pacman -Syyuu` runs, letting users layer custom Pacman repositories or
IgnorePkg directives onto the freshly-written config so they're respected
by the upgrade. Useful for users running on overlay distros (CachyOS,
Chaotic-AUR, internal company repos) where a wipe-and-reinstall would
otherwise pull vanilla Arch versions.
Ships with `pre-refresh-pacman.d/add-custom-repo.sample` showing the
pattern.
