The panel handed its three Repeaters snapshots of live PwNode objects, and Quickshell deletes a node the moment PipeWire drops it. Qt then dereferences that row without a null check in VDMListDelegateDataType::createMissingProperties (qqmldmlistaccessordata_p.h:222, unchanged in 6.11.2), so any teardown that emptied the graph with the panel open segfaulted the shell: a USB DAC unplugged, a Bluetooth profile switch, omarchy-restart-audio, a WirePlumber restart, or a laptop suspend.
Rows now carry the node's id and name rather than the node, and each delegate resolves its own PwNode through nodeFor(), so labels, glyphs and stream volumes stay live. The name is what pins a row to the node it came from, since PipeWire reuses object ids; it is CONSTANT on PwNode for as long as the node exists. This is the projection the bluetooth panel already uses against the same crash class.
Filtering the snapshot instead does not work, which is worth recording because it is the obvious thing to reach for: the node is usually alive when the snapshot is taken and dies while Qt is incubating the delegate, so nothing visible at snapshot time identifies the row that will dangle.
