Each `bash -lc` starts a login shell that re-sources the profile
(mise activation, /etc/profile.d) on every invocation — ~16 forks per
call versus ~2 for `bash -c` — which taxes every menu/panel/launcher
action the shell shells out for. The session already exports PATH and
env to the shell, so omarchy commands resolve fine under `bash -c`.
Switch the internal/omarchy-owned spawns (theme+background switches,
brightness, monitor scaling, DNS, lock/fingerprint, keyboard-layout
probe, voxtype status, and the `:`/printf state-file writes) to
`bash -c`. Leave `bash -lc` on the sites that run user-configurable
commands (custom bar-widget exec, menu provider/guard scripts,
launcher scan commands, configurable idle/screensaver command), where
a user's command may rely on their login environment.

The indicators widget broadcast a refresh every 2s, fanning out to four
status subprocesses (nightlight, idle, reminder, screen-recording), and
NightLight/StayAwake each ran an additional 5s poll. On an idle desktop
this was the dominant source of process churn (~33 of ~53 forks/sec in a
VM). The state-changing commands already push `omarchy.indicators
refresh` over IPC, so the polling was redundant.
Drop the 2s broadcast and the two 5s timers; indicators now refresh at
startup and on the IPC push. Also fix three callers that pushed to the
wrong target `Indicators` instead of `omarchy.indicators` (screen
recording, notification silencing, and the omarchy-shell help example) —
those pushes silently failed and only appeared to work because the poll
masked them.
Idle fork rate drops ~53/s to ~20/s.

With initial workspace tracking disabled, windows naturally open on the active workspace. Remove the explicit Hyprland workspace dispatch and let shell actions, shell restarts, and presentation terminals launch directly.
Position the bar by dragging (or click-and-holding) empty bar space
toward a screen edge, with a ghost slab previewing the target edge.
With drag for position and double-click for transparency, the bar
config panel, its inline gear button, and the omarchy-launch-bar-settings
CLI are no longer needed.

The omarchy-bar command had grown three overlapping ways to inspect the
bar (show/layout/list/options, plus selected/active/available/widgets
aliases) and mixed layout mutation in with bar-level settings. Untangle
it into two focused commands:
- omarchy-bar keeps only the bar-level settings that write shell.json:
use, reset, position, transparent, and settings. reset now delegates
to `use omarchy.bar` rather than duplicating the del(.bar.id) write.
- omarchy-bar-plugin owns all layout mutation: add, move, remove, set,
and replace, with the placement flags and jq resolve/anchor helpers.
`omarchy bar plugin ...` routes here via the dispatcher.
Drop the inspection commands entirely: the layout is visible on the bar,
the config is shell.json, and widget/option ids come from
`omarchy plugin list`. Nothing consumed the show output programmatically
except tests. This also removes omarchy-bar-position, whose jq write was
a duplicate of `omarchy bar position`.
Strip environment-invariant guards (require_command, require_omarchy_path)
that defended against jq or OMARCHY_PATH being absent — neither happens on
a real system. Keep the user-input validation (--section/--index) and the
atomic shell.json write.
Update callers (service install/remove, refresh-shell, plugin-clone,
plugin enable), keybindings, the menu, tests, and docs to the new split.
The `Bar` uses a `Repeater` when building out the models. This has the
effect of marshalling the configuration, and causing JSON arrays to
become sequence wrappers.
A couple of the plugins had been checking for the existence of array
values with `Array.isArray`, which fails for the sequence wrappers,
causing the values to be ignored. This breaks associated functionality
(the "hide" and "pin" actions in the systray had stopped working, as had
exit node selection in Tailscale).
Switching the guards to use `instanceof Array` works correctly for
sequence values (as well as arrays).
The bar supports switching between transparent and opaque. That means we
can't use an opaque surface for it; if we did, it would be unable to
reliably render as transparent when needed.
This fixes a visual glitch where the background of a transparent bar
would flicker, particularly during mouse hover.
Bar-widget panels (audio, bluetooth, network, power, monitor) used to be
toggled via their own per-plugin IpcHandler targets. Quickshell resolves
duplicate targets first-handler-wins, so after a plugin or bar reload the
stale handler of the destroyed widget instance kept claiming the target
and the hotkeys went dead.
The shell root's IpcHandler lives outside the reload cycle, so summon,
hide, and toggle now go through `omarchy-shell shell toggle <plugin>`
and the shell routes to the live widget instance via the bar's slot
registry. Panel plugins that are also panel/overlay/menu kinds keep
using the panel loader path. Failures to find a live widget are logged
so a widget missing from the bar layout stays diagnosable.

The slot registry is about to become the routing table for panel
hotkeys, so it has outgrown its debug-only name.

omarchy-plugin mixed plugin lifecycle, clone/edit, and bar-layout mutation.
The bar layout was mutated by two separate engines (an embedded Python
mutate_bar here and jq in omarchy-config-shell-bar), each with its own
manifest walker.
- omarchy-plugin is now a ~220-line router; clone and edit move to
omarchy-plugin-clone and omarchy-plugin-edit, matching the existing
plugin-{source,add,update,remove,available,validate,scan} sibling pattern
- omarchy-config-shell-bar is replaced by omarchy-bar, the single bar engine
(show/layout/list/options/use/reset/add/move/remove/set/replace/position/
transparent/settings) with one jq pipeline; the Python mutate_bar and its
python3 dependency are gone
- omarchy-plugin-catalog is the shared manifest scanner used by omarchy-bar
(widget/option enumeration, add validation) and omarchy-plugin-clone
(source enumeration), replacing three find|jq re-implementations
- service install/remove and refresh-shell call omarchy-bar; docs and tests
updated to the new command surface
