Replace the three-layer process management (trap cleanup, PPID-polling
watchdog subshell, /proc-scanning reaper) with kernel-level lifetime
binding: each wl-paste watcher is spawned under setpriv --pdeathsig TERM,
so it dies with the shell no matter how the shell exits.
- Delete watch.sh: the shell now spawns both watchers directly as
declarative Process commands instead of a wrapper script with traps
and a 1s polling loop
- Delete init.sh: reaping stale watchers from a crashed pre-pdeathsig
shell is a single pkill at startup
- Collapse capture.sh's dual stream/snapshot modes: wl-paste forwards
arguments to its watch command, so the mime rides along as $1 instead
of an env var, letting both modes share one emit_image function
- Turn the six-branch image mime chain into a loop
Net: two fewer files, three fewer runtime processes, and the watch-mode
capture tests now exercise the same argument protocol the shell uses.

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
The May 17 picker performance change made activated thumbnail loads asynchronous, which undid the earlier anti-flicker fix and let carousel movement flash blank thumbnails. Keep lazy activation, but load activated thumbnails synchronously so theme/background picker navigation remains stable. Add regression coverage for the thumbnail loading mode.
The launcher resolves each entry's icon through Quickshell.iconPath(),
which bottoms out in Qt's QIconLoader / QIcon::fromTheme. That engine
caches the theme's directory listing — and null results — for the life
of the process, and only re-scans when the icon theme or search paths
change. Nothing in Quickshell 0.3 exposes a way to invalidate it, and a
QML reload doesn't reset it either (QIconLoader is a QtGui process
global, not tied to the QML engine).
So when a user installs a new app while the shell is running, its
.desktop file is picked up live (DesktopEntries is file-watched and the
name appears immediately), but its icon resolves to the cached miss and
renders blank until the whole shell is restarted. That's a poor "I just
installed this" experience.
Fix it without a restart by keeping our own on-disk icon index as a
fallback. When themed lookup returns empty, iconSource() consults a
name->path map built by scanning the XDG icon dirs and /usr/share/
pixmaps (SVGs first, so scalable wins). The scan runs on startup and on
a debounced DesktopEntries change — the same signal that already makes
names appear — and swapping the iconIndex property re-evaluates every
iconSource() binding, so freshly installed icons show up live. Icons Qt
can already resolve are untouched.
