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 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.

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.
