cups-browsed is the daemon that watches the network and creates print queues by itself. Hardening it took a root daemon with a predictable cache down to a confined service account, but a daemon that turns anything advertising itself on the network into a print queue is a lot of exposure for a convenience, so it comes out of the default install while that is reworked. Only the discovery half: CUPS itself stays and printing keeps working, with each printer added by hand in Print Settings.
The migration disables the unit before removing the package because that is the only order that works: pacman deletes the unit file but not the enable symlink, and once the unit is gone systemd can no longer resolve it by name to clean that up.
It then removes the queues discovery generated. cups-browsed keeps those when it stops, since KeepGeneratedQueuesOnShutdown defaults to Yes, and they route through its own implicitclass backend, which goes with the package, so they cannot print again. Idle ones go. A queue with jobs on it is left alone and named: implicitclass only needs cups-browsed to choose a destination, so a job already past that point finishes on its own, and deleting the queue would abort it. One printer's job does not hold up the removal. A printer added by hand has an ipp:// or usb:// device and is left where it is.
A queue whose jobs cannot be asked about is left alone rather than assumed idle, including one named so that lpstat would misread it -- "all" is its word for every destination, and a leading dash or a comma reads as another option or a list.
Where CUPS does not answer at all, or a queue will not delete, discovery is still stopped but the package stays and no marker is written. omarchy-migrate records a migration for the user as soon as it exits zero, so that is where the machine stays until someone removes the package by hand, and the message says so rather than implying a retry.
The queue list is read under LC_ALL=C because lpstat translates "device for", and captured rather than piped, so a cupsd it cannot reach is reported instead of reading like a machine with nothing to clean up.
It removes with plain pacman -R rather than omarchy-pkg-drop, which passes -n and would discard /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf instead of keeping it as a .pacsave. A removal meant to be temporary should not delete the machine's copy of its own configuration. Without -s either, so it only ever removes the package it names: sweeping newly unneeded dependencies is nothing today, but it is not a promise a rolling dependency graph can keep.
Queue names come off the network, since cups-browsed names its queues after what the printer advertised. CUPS allows every printable character but space, tab, / and #, and lpstat and lpadmin take a destination as an option value, so a name with a leading dash or a comma is reported rather than passed to them and guessed at.
Migration state is per user, so a machine-wide marker records the one removal. Without it, an account whose first migration run came after someone deliberately reinstalled discovery would quietly take it back out again.
The install-time override for cups-browsed.conf now waits for cups-browsed rather than for CUPS. Guarding it on a file CUPS still ships would write a configuration file for a package nothing installed, and pacman would later land the package's own copy beside it as a .pacnew.
The hardened configuration stays in the tree. omarchy-settings still ships the cups-browsed.conf override, the sysusers account and the service drop-in, so they are what discovery returns onto.

* Host the manual's images in the repo under manual/images
Replaces all learn.omacom.io/manual.omakub.org hotlinks with local webp
files capped at 1600px wide (~20MB total), so the manual is fully
self-contained. Theme and unlock previews are converted from the
canonical themes/*/preview.png files. A handful of illustration shots
are interim conversions of the current images, pending retakes.

* Retake the illustration screenshots fresh at 3x scaling
Navigation, clipboard history, notices, tmux layouts, prompt, and About
reshot on a clean workspace at 3.13x (1920x1080 logical on 6K) across
ten themes: Tokyo Night, Catppuccin, Gruvbox, Kanagawa, Everforest,
Nord, Osaka Jade, Rose Pine, Matte Black, and Ristretto.

* Drop the extra themes chapter from the manual
The community theme gallery will live elsewhere. Removes the chapter
and its 114 gallery images, renumbers the following chapters, and
repoints the two references (theme installs still work via
Install > Style > Theme in the menu).

* Reference the shipped theme previews instead of copying them
The themes chapter now points straight at themes/*/preview.png and
preview-unlock.png, so previews can never drift from the source and
manual/images drops from 6.3MB to 3.5MB.

Add "Coming From Mac or Windows" as chapter 3: a translation layer for
Cmd/Win instincts rather than a feature tour.
Fill the remaining coverage gaps: fcitx5 input methods, laptop speaker
tuning, touchpad haptics, crash capture in the toggle table, the
installable font list, and the ChatGPT Desktop and Grok Bot entries.
Correct claims that drifted from the source: the network and bluetooth
bar icons no longer launch nmtui/bluetoothctl, monitor scaling steps
rather than cycles, and the display widget's scroll steps brightness.

Add chapters for the top bar and its panels, screenshots and recording,
toggles/idle/screensaver, browsers, shell plugins, and networking, which
collects the Wi-Fi, DNS, firewall, and Tailscale material that was spread
across the FAQ, TUIs, and services chapters.
Fill smaller gaps in the existing chapters: user hooks, autostart, menu
extensions, printing, power profiles, factory reset, drive and user
passwords, passwordless sudo, firmware updates, display text size, and
the LocalSend share menu.
