A machine without a GPU, like most VMs, renders through llvmpipe on the
CPU, where every animated frame and every translucent window costs. In a
VM, opening and closing a terminal took ~5s of CPU; a panel ~3.4s.
omarchy toggle animations (also under Toggle > Animations) places a Hyprland
flag that turns off animations, blur and shadows and makes windows opaque.
The shell follows Hyprland's animations:enabled, rereading it on every
config reload: its one-shot animations run for Style.duration(ms), which
is then 0, and its spinners, pulses and title marquee hold still. A new
install in a VM starts with the flag in place.
Measured in the ISO test VM (llvmpipe), CPU per interaction:
terminal open+close 5000ms -> 481ms, workspace switch 1670ms -> 409ms,
audio panel 3446ms -> 796ms, volume OSD 2324ms -> 584ms, menu 2028ms ->
1241ms.

* Answer omarchy-shell calls over the shell's own socket
Every omarchy-shell call started a qs ipc client, ~45ms of startup for one
IPC call: a theme switch makes two, and every script-driven OSD, toggle
refresh and lock query paid it too.
The shell now serves a socket in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, named from its config
path and Wayland display as qs ipc selects its instance, and omarchy-shell
tries it first through socat, which starts in ~5ms. First-party handlers
register as ShellIpc, an IpcHandler that qs ipc still reaches, and the
socket calls only the functions a handler declares with their exact
argument count, allowed by name so QObject methods such as destroy() stay
out of reach.
When the shell ran nothing it answers SKIP, and omarchy-shell asks qs ipc
for its exact answer, so errors, third-party plugins and an unreachable
socket behave as before. A call that may have run is never retried: a
timeout or a connection closed without an answer reports the shell as not
responding.
omarchy-shell shell ping takes ~13-18ms instead of ~61ms, and omarchy-osd
reaches the screen in ~36ms instead of ~77ms. Output and exit status match
the qs ipc path across 26 calls, errors and quiet mode included.

* Only accept whole socket replies and retry only unmade connections
A reply cut off after its OK prefix passed for the whole answer, and an
empty reply with socat failing was retried through qs ipc although the
request might already have been delivered.
An answer now counts only once its record separator arrived. socat's own
errors join the reply, so only its connect error, a socket nothing
listens on, falls back to qs ipc beside an explicit SKIP; anything else
is reported as not responding rather than retried.

The root rule matched only a file-level root Text, of which this tree has
exactly one. QML inline components are roots for the same reason — the
`text` of `component InfoValue: Text {` comes from every caller, so the
file it lives in never binds it — but they sit inside another element, so
the depth-1 test never saw them. Six went uncovered while the test
reported green, among them the network panel's InfoValue, which callers
bind to the IP address and gateway.
Six more ways to write a Text were read as clean rather than as unreadable:
an opening brace that is not last on its line, a brace on the line after
`Text`, a one-line block containing nested braces, a wrapped binding split
by a comment or a blank line before its `+` (which exempted a dynamic
binding as a literal), and a root Text indented from column zero. Require
the forms a line scanner can read instead of parsing QML; the tree already
writes every Text that way.
Last, a run that read no files reported success. A checkout with no shell/
QML now fails instead, since an all-clear from a scan that opened nothing
is the one answer this test must never give.
Each case is covered by a fixture that fails without its fix.

omarchy-shell omarchy.power togglePercentage now flips the same setting
the widget's right-click does. Follows the monitor/tailscale pattern:
manageIpc: false so the panel owns the target's single IpcHandler and
can extend it past the inherited lifecycle methods.

The widget declared no indicator hint, so the mark fell back to 55% of
the slot — sized for a lone icon, too short once the percentage doubles
the block. Hint the glyph's painted width, the way the clock hints its
label width.

Explicit profile selections from the power panel or menu are now saved
under an ac/battery key in ~/.local/state/omarchy/powerprofiles and
reapplied on boot and on plug/unplug. Only successful, user-made
selections are persisted, so the performance/balanced defaults still
apply when nothing has been chosen.
All entry points key off the same power signal, UPower's OnBattery:
the shell reads it natively and omarchy-powerprofiles-set autodetect
queries it via busctl. This replaces the sysfs online checks, which
disagreed with the shell on desktops without power_supply entries and
lagged behind plug events on some USB-C laptops.
Plug/unplug switching moves from the udev rule into the shell's battery
service, which already receives UPower's debounced state changes, so
the udev rule and its settle-sleep workaround are gone.
