Crash capture stays on by default, but Trigger > Toggle > Crash Capture (or
`omarchy toggle crash-capture`) now turns the watcher off. The toggle writes the
usual flag file and stops the unit for this session; the unit checks the same
flag with ConditionPathExists, so the choice survives a logout without the unit
having to be disabled.

* Offer an AI diagnosis when a process crashes
systemd-coredump journals every core dump under a known MESSAGE_ID with the
crashing program, pid, and signal as structured fields. omarchy-crash-watch
follows that stream and raises a "Process crashed: <program>" toast; clicking it
opens omarchy-agent-crash, which briefs the default agent on the crash.
The toast goes through omarchy-notification-send --exec rather than a libnotify
action, because the shell runs clicks from its own omarchy-exec hint and never
emits ActionInvoked. It keeps the default "omarchy-action" app name too, the
only one shouldBypassDnd() lets through -- a crash being the last notification
worth swallowing. It stays quiet until an agent is configured, since a
diagnosis is all it offers.
The method lives in a diagnose-crash skill rather than the prompt, so it is
edited in one place and works with whichever agent is default. It covers
investigating the core, and reporting a confirmed Omarchy bug upstream: scoped
to bugs Omarchy controls, searched for duplicates first, only with the user's
agreement, and signed with the model and harness that produced it.
A migration reaches existing installs, whose skill symlinks and unit enablement
would otherwise sit behind one-time setup paths.
* Let the diagnosis clean up the core it extracted
"Do not modify or delete anything" contradicted the symbolization step right
above it, which writes a core to a temp file and deletes it on exit. Read
literally, the core survives -- and the same section warns it holds passwords
and tokens. The prohibition is about the system, not about your own scratch.
* Do not spend a crash toast on a dead notification server
The shell owns org.freedesktop.Notifications, so its own crash takes the
notification server down with it -- and a shell crash is exactly what you want
told about. The toast was sent once into that gap and the dedupe window was
recorded regardless, so the rest of the crash loop went quiet for a minute and
`journalctl -n 0` never replays what was missed.
It now waits for the restarted shell to reclaim the bus name, as
omarchy-migrate-notify already does, and only a delivered toast starts the
dedupe window.
Nothing stood between "memory is tight" and "processes die at random":
the kernel OOM killer only fires after an allocation has already failed,
so a machine under pressure thrashes in reclaim until something breaks
somewhere fatal — seen in practice as Hyprland taking SIGBUS mid-memcpy
from a client shm pool that memory pressure was tearing down.
Enable systemd-oomd, which keys on PSI stall time rather than free
pages, and mark app.slice — and only app.slice — as its kill candidate.
Hyprland runs in session.slice, so the compositor is structurally
ineligible as a victim: oomd takes the app that caused the pressure and
the session survives. Thresholds (50% stall over 20s, Fedora's desktop
defaults) live in an oomd.conf.d drop-in; candidacy ships as a vendor
drop-in under /usr/lib/systemd/user so existing users get it on package
upgrade with no per-user seeding.
New installs enable the daemon from enable-services.sh; a migration
covers existing ones, restarting an already-running oomd so it doesn't
keep stale thresholds until reboot.
Deliberately not earlyoom: it triggers only when free RAM and free swap
are both under threshold, so Omarchy's large, mostly-idle swapfiles
keep it asleep through exactly this failure.

fcitx5 is what turns the CapsLock compose sequences in ~/.XCompose into
text for Wayland clients -- CapsLock m s for an emoji, CapsLock space n
for your name. It was launched fire-and-forget from Hyprland's autostart
via uwsm-app, so nothing supervised it, nothing restarted it, and it
logged nowhere. When it went away, every compose sequence stopped
working for the rest of the session with no visible symptom beyond
"emoji input is busted", and no record of why.
That is not hypothetical: it was found dead on a running machine with no
coredump, no OOM kill, and nothing in the journal to explain it.
Move it to a systemd user service:
- Restart=always, not on-failure. fcitx5 exits 0 when it finds another
instance already owning org.fcitx.Fcitx5, and a clean exit still
leaves the user with no input method.
- After=/PartOf=graphical-session.target. It needs WAYLAND_DISPLAY and
DISPLAY, which uwsm imports into the user manager before reaching the
target, and its wayland connection dies with the compositor.
- ConditionEnvironment=WAYLAND_DISPLAY. After= is ordering only and does
not stop the unit from being started while the target is inactive. An
update over SSH has a live user manager (pam_systemd) and no graphical
session, and a fcitx5 started there comes up blind -- then stays
active, so the later target activation won't pull in a working one,
because Wants= does not restart what is already running. Skipping the
start leaves the unit enabled and healthy for the next graphical login.
The migration hands over inside a live session only: it enables without
--now, and only when graphical-session.target is active does it drop the
autostart-launched process and start the unit. Because that kills a
fcitx5 that was working a moment ago, a failed start is reported instead
of leaving the session mute with the migration marked complete.
omarchy-restart-xcompose now drives the unit. It still clears any fcitx5
running outside it first: that process owns the bus name, so the unit's
instance would exit on arrival and the stale one would keep serving the
old table -- a restart that reports success and changes nothing.
Side benefit: fcitx5 now logs to the journal under its own unit, so the
next disappearance leaves a record.

omarchy-migrate-notify.service is a Type=oneshot wanted by
graphical-session.target, and systemd complements a target's Wants= with an
implicit After=, so the target waited for the notifier to exit. The notifier
does not exit quickly: it sends the notification through systemd-run --scope,
which is synchronous, and omarchy-notification-send -a blocks until the user
clicks. The target stayed in activating for as long as the toast was up.
wayland-wm-app-daemon.service is After=graphical-session.target and nothing
wants it, so uwsm-app starts it on demand. Clicking the notification runs
omarchy-launch-floating-terminal-with-presentation, which execs uwsm-app,
which blocks on a systemctl --user restart of that daemon -- a job queued
behind the very target the clicked notifier was holding open. The terminal
never opened; uwsm-app gave up on its own pipe timeout instead.
Declaring After= on the wanted unit suppresses the implicit dependency rather
than forming a cycle, so the target is reached without waiting and the
notifier runs behind it.

* Send files to a tailnet machine with Taildrop
The panel gets a send button next to the copy one on every machine that
Tailscale grades as a Taildrop target, and `s` does the same from the
keyboard. Picking runs through the XDG portal chooser, so it looks like
the file dialog every other app opens.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01TJQJfHXXApUk6En8EZisHg
* Save incoming Taildrop files and say so
Linux keeps Taildrop files in the daemon's inbox until someone asks for
them, so nothing arrived until you ran `tailscale file get` by hand. A
user service now stages each delivery next to the downloads directory,
hands it over under a free name, and announces it — with a preview when
it's an image, and a click to open it.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01TJQJfHXXApUk6En8EZisHg
* Float every portal dialog, not just the titled ones
The portal only ever shows dialogs, and the title regex missed any
chooser an app names something else — ours included.

* Re-run the Taildrop enable now that the unit ships
The unit was never installed to /usr/lib/systemd/user/, so the enable had
nothing to act on and machines that already ran the migration carry a marker
for a no-op. Rename it so they get a working pass, and report what systemctl
says instead of a bare failure line.

* Wait for the file chooser on the connection that asked for it
The portal answers a request with a Response signal directed at the connection
that made it, and dbus-daemon delivers directed signals only to that
connection. gdbus monitor registers with AddMatch rather than BecomeMonitor, so
it never saw the reply: every pick left omarchy-file-select blocked on a read
that could not arrive, taking omarchy-tailscale-send down with it before it
reached either its notification or the transfer.
Make the call and wait for the signal on one connection, and give up after ten
minutes so an unanswered dialog cannot strand the caller.
Drop the "Sending to" notification while here, so a send reports once.

* Mark Taildrop notifications with the panel's send glyph
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Stop a hung tailscale poll from freezing the panel
Each poll is skipped while its own process is still running, so one that never
exits leaves the panel showing whatever it last read, for good: the peer list
keeps a woken machine missing, and opening the panel cannot help because open
runs the same refresh that hits the same guard.
Reap anything still running fifteen seconds after a refresh, well inside the
thirty second interval, so the next tick starts clean.

* Place a moved widget where an added one lands
'move omarchy.media left' named a section, not a slot, but the section went
through as an explicit target, which resolves a missing index by appending. The
widget landed on the far end of the row instead of after the section anchor
where 'add' puts it.
Its test has never run: the assertion covering this went in four hours after an
unrelated layout change had already stopped the file, and the runner stops the
whole suite at the first failure.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Keep the config test from failing on things it is not about
The center layout assertion pinned the whole row, so parking the indicators
left of the clock broke a test named for update sitting next to weather. Assert
that adjacency instead.
The package-defaults check reads PKGBUILDs from the omarchy-pkgs repo and blew
up with a traceback wherever that is not a sibling checkout. Skip it when the
checkout is absent, honour OMARCHY_PKGS_ROOT when it is somewhere else, and
keep failing when it is present and wrong.
Between them these stopped the suite eighty files early.

* Make the file chooser a Python command rather than a bash host for one
The portal work was a heredoc wedged inside a bash script that existed only to
parse two flags. Drop the host: argparse covers the flags, and the file says at
the top why it is the one command here not written in bash.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Tell a chooser that never opened apart from one that was dismissed
Three fixes from review:
The poll watchdog rearmed on every refresh, so a refresh interval shorter than
its timeout — the setting goes down to five seconds — pushed the deadline ahead
of a hung process forever. Arm it on the launch that needs watching and leave
it alone.
omarchy-file-select exited 1 both for nothing picked and for a chooser that
could not run, and omarchy-tailscale-send read it through a process
substitution, which drops the status anyway. A session bus that was not there
looked exactly like someone changing their mind. Separate the two exits and
read them with a command substitution.
Delivery picked a free name and then renamed, which overwrites anything that
takes the name in between. Link to the name instead: link(2) refuses one that
is taken, so the check and the claim are the same step.

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.

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.

omarchy-update-user-notify.path watches /usr/share/omarchy/migrations
with PathModified. A single update commonly drops several migration
files at once, so the oneshot service is re-triggered in a burst and
exceeds the default start-rate limit (StartLimitBurst=5 / 10s):
omarchy-update-user-notify.service: Start request repeated too quickly.
omarchy-update-user-notify.path: Failed with result 'unit-start-limit-hit'.
When the limit trips, the watching .path unit itself fails and stops
watching, so migrations that land later in the session are never
surfaced until the next login.
Set StartLimitIntervalSec=0 on the service. omarchy-migrate-notify is
idempotent, so there is no downside to letting it run on every trigger.

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.
