The machines this targets are the ones with an updatedb already grinding
through every snapshot, and `systemctl start` on an active unit is a
no-op. updatedb reads /etc/updatedb.conf once at startup, so a run that
began before the rewrite keeps burning CPU on the old config until it
finishes. Restart the service instead: it's Type=oneshot and plocate
builds into a temp db, so nothing is lost by replacing the run.
Quotes are optional in updatedb.conf, so parse the existing paths out of
whatever quoting the file uses and write the setting back in one
canonical form. `PRUNEPATHS=/tmp` previously fell through to the append
branch and got a second PRUNEPATHS line, which drops /tmp from the
pruned set. Comparing whole paths rather than substrings also keeps a
config that already prunes something like /var/lib/machines/.snapshots
from being mistaken for one that prunes /.snapshots.
Prefer $OMARCHY_PATH over the packaged copy when locating the config
script, per docs/migrations.md, so the migration test exercises the
checked-out script rather than whatever release is installed. Skip when
neither exists: omarchy-migrate runs under set -e, so a missing script
would take down every migration queued behind it.

omarchy-update-user-notify.path watched /usr/share/omarchy/migrations, but
pacman writes that directory during every update, including the blessed
omarchy update, which runs omarchy-migrate a step later. The watcher fired a
critical notification for the migrations the update was already applying in
the visible terminal. A watcher cannot tell that apart from a bypassed
pacman -Syu, so the only trigger that never collides with a running update is
a once-per-login check.
The service that already ran at graphical-session.target is now the whole
mechanism, renamed after the command it runs. That is also all the second-user
case needs: markers are per-user, so anyone who did not run the update finds
them missing at their next login.
Login timing means the toast can be sent before the shell has claimed
org.freedesktop.Notifications, so the notifier waits for a live server first.
The wait is omarchy-first-run's, lifted into omarchy-notification-wait rather
than duplicated.
The package keeps omarchy-update-user-notify.service as a symlink onto the new
unit. Existing users hold an absolute wants symlink to the old path, and the
migration that repoints it only runs for users who run an update, which is the
opposite of who the notifier is for.

pacman checks file conflicts during transaction prepare, so the --overwrite
entry added alongside /etc/systemd/zram-generator.conf never got to run: the
copy of omarchy-update-system-pkgs driving the upgrade is the one already on
disk. Every machine carrying archinstall's copy aborted the transaction.
zram-generator.conf(5) reserves /etc for the local admin and has vendors ship
snippets under /usr/lib/systemd/zram-generator.conf.d/, where drop-ins outrank
the main config file. Nothing collides, and the tuning wins whether or not
archinstall's file is still around.

Tensaku shows a "Pick a default annotation size factor" dialog until
its persisted state names one. Neither config.toml nor the CLI flag
suppresses it, so ship the state file itself.

Reported to suit the XPS 16 as well, so the tuning now matches both machines and
the directory is named for the pair rather than the one model.
Gating moves from the DMI product name to the product SKU, which is what Dell keys
the Cirrus speaker firmware on -- 10280db9 for the XPS 14, 10280dba for the XPS 16
-- so it identifies the speaker hardware itself instead of a marketing name. SKUs
are compared as whole values, not substrings, so this cannot widen to the rest of
the XPS line the way a short product-name match would: product_family on these
machines is "Dell Laptops".
match_sku and match_dmi are now lists, letting one tuning name every model it
covers. A plain string still works as a single entry.
The measurements in tuning.conf were taken on the XPS 14 (0DB9). The XPS 16 is
covered on report rather than measurement, and tuning.conf and the graph both say
so, because the profile's bass lift and high-pass were fitted against one
machine's excursion and distortion limits.

Laptop speakers ship voiced by the vendor's Windows DSP layer, which Linux does
not get. A tuning restores that as a PipeWire filter-chain in front of the
internal speaker sink, matched to the machine by DMI string and expected sink.
Adding a laptop is a directory under default/audio/tunings with two files and no
new code: matching is data. The XPS 14 DA14260 tuning included here was derived by
measuring the xps-audio-linux EasyEffects profile (MIT) and fitting a biquad chain
to it, so no impulse response or other upstream asset is redistributed. It measures
1.24 dB RMS against that reference, and matches its dynamic range within 0.1 LU --
the reference's multiband compressor turned out to contribute nothing, so a linear
chain replaces it. Bass Q is capped deliberately: a closer magnitude fit swung
group delay 31 ms across 63-80 Hz, which smears bass transients.
The graph runs as its own PipeWire client under its own config name rather than
loading into the audio daemon. The daemon only reads its config at startup, so a
daemon-loaded tuning could only be switched by restarting PipeWire -- which drops
every PulseAudio client's connection, and applications that do not reconnect
(Spotify) then have to be restarted by hand. Hosting it separately also contains
failure, since a malformed tuning breaks only that service.
Three things about the surrounding audio graph needed fixing for this to behave:
- Volume must live downstream of the tuning. omarchy-audio-output-sink is now the
single definition of which sink an output's volume really uses, shared by the
volume keys, the output switcher's OSD and the audio panel, so they cannot
disagree. It resolves the current default output, which keeps it correct when
headphones are selected while a tuning exists.
- The tuning's own output is a movable sink input, so rerouting "all streams" to a
newly selected output would drag the processing onto headphones, or into the
tuning's own sink, which is a cycle. It is pinned, and stream moves are limited
to streams carrying an application.name.
- The physical sink a tuning fronts is not independently selectable, since picking
it would only bypass the tuning, so it is kept out of the output list.
Applying happens at first-run, not finalize-user, because finalize-user also runs
in the ISO chroot where there is no audio server and nothing would retry.

omarchy-update-user-notify.path used PathExistsGlob= on the packaged
migrations directory. That directive is level-triggered: systemd re-checks
it every time the triggered unit deactivates and fires again while the glob
still matches. Since applied migrations stay on disk forever (state lives in
~/.local/state/omarchy/migrations), the glob always matches, so the oneshot
notifier re-triggered itself in a tight loop (~26-66 starts/sec) — burning
about a core and flooding the journal for the whole session.
The loop existed since the unit was introduced, but the default start-rate
limit killed it after 5 iterations, taking the .path unit down with
'unit-start-limit-hit'. That symptom was reported as #6174 and fixed
yesterday by setting StartLimitIntervalSec=0 — which removed the only brake
and turned the capped hiccup into an unbounded busy-loop.
Fix the actual cause instead:
* Drop PathExistsGlob= from the .path unit, keeping the edge-triggered
PathModified= watch for updates that land mid-session.
* Revert the StartLimitIntervalSec=0 override; with the level trigger gone
there is no self-re-fire to trip the limit, and the default limit is a
useful backstop again.
* Preserve the once-per-login pending check the glob used to provide by
giving the service its own WantedBy=graphical-session.target, enabled at
first-run alongside the other user units.
* Add a migration that daemon-reloads, revives a rate-limit-killed .path,
restarts the watcher, and enables the login-time notifier on existing
installs.
Verified with transient path/service units: the old config runs the service
200 times in 3 seconds; the new config runs it zero times while idle and
exactly once when a new migration file lands.
Thanks to @HANCORE-Linux for finding and diagnosing the problem.

The canonical colors.toml keys are now background/foreground, including
all permutations (dark_background, darker_background, lighter_background,
dark_foreground, light_foreground, bright_foreground). The old short
names are gone entirely, not kept as aliases; legacy alacritty-generated
themes still resolve through the ANSI color0/color7 fallback.
Theme files are also regrouped: accent/selection/muted first, then the
backgrounds, then the foregrounds, then the named colors.

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.
A plugin is now just a git repo cloned into ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/<id>/.
That one idea replaces the entire homegrown package-manager half of the
plugin suite: trusted-source registry, clone cache, catalog scanning,
semver comparison, staging dirs, and timestamped backups — 1,025 lines
across five binaries whose jobs git already does.
Gone:
- omarchy-plugin-source: the trusted-repo registry (sources.json) and its
clone cache under ~/.cache/omarchy/plugin-sources/. The trust decision
now happens once, at add time, with the same unsandboxed-code warning.
- omarchy-plugin-scan + omarchy-plugin-available: the catalog machinery
over cached clones. Discovery belongs on a web page, not in the CLI.
- omarchy-plugin-add: copying folders out of cached source clones with
hand-rolled staging and .bak backups. Replaced by a git clone.
- omarchy-plugin-update: manifest version comparison via sort -V and
re-installs. Replaced by fetch + diff + fast-forward; git is the version
and git is the backup.
- omarchy-plugin-remove and omarchy-plugin-edit as separate binaries:
folded into omarchy-plugin, much slimmer.
The consolidated omarchy-plugin now handles the full lifecycle:
- add <git-url>: warn, clone into a dot-prefixed staging dir (invisible
to the plugin scanner), validate, then move into place named by the
manifest id. Plugins land disabled — enabling is the single consent
moment, replacing the old review-before-copy flow.
- update [id | --all]: fetch origin HEAD, show the diff (delta when
available), confirm, fast-forward. Updates are code the shell will run,
so the result is re-validated and rolled back to ORIG_HEAD if upstream
turned invalid (e.g. smuggled a symlink).
- remove [id]: git checkouts are deleted outright since upstream keeps
the history; hand-made plugin folders still get a backup, and dev
symlinks are just unlinked.
- edit [id]: opens the user plugin directory in a shell.
All commands keep the interactive/unattended split: gum prompts in a
terminal, hard refusal without --yes otherwise, so scripts and agents
never hang on a hidden prompt.
Kept as siblings: omarchy-plugin-catalog (omarchy-bar reads it),
omarchy-plugin-validate (the security boundary, now pruning .git from its
symlink scan since installs are git checkouts), and omarchy-plugin-clone
(local development of built-in widgets, a separate concern).
Trade-offs accepted: one repo = one plugin (no more multi-plugin source
repos), and ref pinning or branch switching is no longer a CLI feature —
an installed plugin is a plain checkout, so that is ordinary git in the
plugin directory.
None of the removed machinery ever shipped: it existed only on this
branch, so there is no migration. The net effect is 11 scripts / 2,040
lines down to 4 scripts / 1,080 lines, and one less concept for users to
learn — everyone already knows what a git repo is.

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
Reflects the two upstream changes in this work:
- omarchy-dev-tools folds into omarchy (bin/omarchy-dev-* ship with the
main package).
- omarchy-limine folds into omarchy-settings (limine + snapper configs,
mkinitcpio hooks, and the default/{limine,snapper}/ trees ship from
omarchy-settings; the package was always installed in lockstep with
it in the early bootstrap anyway).
Mental-model section: from four packages to two (omarchy +
omarchy-settings), plus the two unchanged independents (omarchy-keyring,
omarchy-nvim).
Build-time map: drop the omarchy-dev-tools and omarchy-limine columns;
add the new limine source files (omarchy_hooks.conf,
thunderbolt_module.conf, omarchy-defaults.conf, omarchy-uki.conf) under
omarchy-settings.
- Add default/bash/env-bootstrap to the build-time map and a dedicated
section describing what it sets, who sources it, and the dev-link gate
on the PATH prepend.
- Drop 'bluetooth' from the install/user/all.sh hardware-quirks list
(the per-hardware install script is gone now that the wireplumber
config ships through /etc/skel and bt-agent enables at first-run).
- Add a first-run section listing the post-login steps, including the
new enable-user-units.sh that defers user systemctl enables.
Reorganizes Omarchy 4 around three layers for populating $HOME:
Seed: omarchy-settings ships defaults to /etc/skel; useradd -m
copies them on user creation
Finalize: omarchy-finalize-user (renamed from omarchy-setup-user)
handles only the runtime tweaks /etc/skel can't do — skill
symlinks, xdg-user-dirs, default browser/mailto, vconsole→hypr
keyboard sync, and install/user/all.sh
Resync: omarchy-reinstall-configs is the explicit, destructive
resync of /etc/skel into an existing user's $HOME
Package-owned files move out of config/ into default/, where the
omarchy-settings PKGBUILD installs them to real system paths:
config/environment.d/fcitx.conf -> /usr/lib/environment.d/
config/fontconfig/fonts.conf -> /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/
config/mimeapps.list -> /usr/share/applications/
config/omarchy.ttf -> /usr/share/fonts/omarchy/
config/systemd/user/*.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/user/
config/uwsm/default -> /usr/share/omarchy/default/uwsm/
config/uwsm/env -> /usr/share/uwsm/env.d/10-omarchy
config/xdg-terminals.list -> /usr/share/xdg-terminal-exec/
omarchy-upgrade-to-4 grows a 'retire' action (renamed from 'move' to
clarify nothing is copied — the system path is owned by the new package
once the user's hash-matched ~/.config copy is removed). Mismatched
copies are kept as backups so user overrides survive the upgrade.
Other simplifications:
- Single env bootstrap at default/bash/env-bootstrap sourced by
/etc/profile.d/omarchy.sh, /etc/skel/.bashrc,
/usr/share/uwsm/env.d/10-omarchy, and default/bash/envs. PATH
prepend only in dev-link mode (production uses /usr/bin/omarchy-*).
- omarchy-refresh-config reads from /etc/skel/.config so refresh
means 'snap to skel'.
- omarchy-reinstall-configs collapses to 'cp -af /etc/skel/. ~/'
plus limine/plymouth/nvim refresh.
- omarchy-font-set uses awk against our own 30-omarchy.conf instead
of xmlstarlet; xmlstarlet dropped from omarchy-base.packages.
- Defer user systemd enables (bt-agent, sleep-lock,
recover-internal-monitor) to first-run via
install/user/first-run/enable-user-units.sh; delete
omarchy-user-systemctl-enable and the per-hardware install
scripts that called it.
- Wireplumber bluetooth-a2dp-autoconnect.conf moves to config/ so
/etc/skel ships it; install/user/hardware/bluetooth.sh deleted.
- Default terminal switched to foot.desktop.
- docs/file-layout.md documents the three-layer model and the
build-time repo→path map.
Let users add trusted plugin source repos and add/update/remove plugins
from them, alongside the existing in-shell plugin commands:
omarchy plugin source <add|list|remove|refresh>
omarchy plugin available
omarchy plugin add | update | remove | validate
Each command is interactive (gum/fzf pickers, confirmation, an update
diff) in a TTY and fully flag-driven with --yes for scripts and agents.
Sources live in ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/sources.json and clone into
~/.cache/omarchy/plugin-sources/. The installer only copies files,
validates manifests against the shell's schema, and toggles enabled
state over IPC -- it never runs plugin code, hooks, or sudo.
Also guard 'plugin bar add' so only known bar-widget ids enter the
layout (rejecting typos/non-widgets like a stray '--help').
