The weather widgets asked wttr.in to geolocate by IP, which lands on
whatever city the ISP registers its address block under -- Downey when
you're in Malibu. Now the location can be set explicitly:
* Click the location in the weather panel to search via open-meteo
geocoding, pick a suggestion (disambiguated by region), and it sticks.
The X next to the field returns to IP auto-detect, as does committing
an empty search.
* State lives in ~/.local/state/omarchy/settings/weather.json as
{name, latitude, longitude}, owned by the new omarchy-weather-location
command (bare call prints the current location, --set/--clear write).
The panel watches the file, so hand edits apply live.
* Stored coordinates make wttr.in and open-meteo exact. Open-meteo also
now supplies current conditions alongside the daily forecast it
already served, which fills the panel within a second of a location
change instead of waiting out wttr.in's multi-second responses; wttr
results still win once they land. Failed wttr fetches retry instead
of sitting stale until the next refresh cycle.

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.
Weather wraps its panel in a BarWidget that only exposed togglePanel(),
so it couldn't ride the new shell-routed hotkey path and was left on the
stale-prone per-plugin target. Expose open/close/opened on the wrapper
(open maps to the panel's hotkey path so the center hover reveal stays
suppressed) and switch omarchy-notification-weather to the new syntax.

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.

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.

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.
