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.
canonical_widget_id was a pure pass-through, making its reserved-id
check a tautology; require_omarchy_path and choose_value were defined
but never called.

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
