* Support external monitor brightness
Route brightness through the focused Hyprland monitor so internal panels keep using the kernel backlight while compatible external displays use DDC/CI. Preserve the Apple Display backend and leave brightness unavailable when the focused display cannot be controlled.
Add cached DDC bus and VCP range handling, install ddcutil for new and existing systems, and cover backend selection and brightness conversion with shell tests.

* Make WhatsApp Web follow your Omarchy light/dark theme
WhatsApp Web's "System default" theme follows prefers-color-scheme and
repaints live, so a small theme bridge is enough to make it track the active
Omarchy theme with no reload and no WhatsApp-specific CSS.
- omarchy-chromium-theme-host: push-only native messaging host that reads the
active theme and emits it on connect and on every theme-set. Unlike copy-url/
yt-dlp (one-shot), it stays connected and pushes, since theme-following needs
the page to learn about changes while it is running.
- omarchy-chromium-theme-refresh: SIGUSR1s the running host(s); called from
omarchy-theme-set's post_theme_commands.
- whatsapp-theme extension: decides dark vs. light from the theme background's
WCAG luminance and drives a prefers-color-scheme shim, so WhatsApp's own
theme does the repaint.
Wired like copy-url/yt-dlp and whatsapp-slim: bundled under
default/chromium/extensions, added to --load-extension, host manifest
registered from the fresh-install/refresh/browser-install paths, existing users
covered by a migration.
The host is named com.omarchy.theme (a generic theme bridge) rather than
WhatsApp-specific, so other bundled web-app extensions can follow the theme by
connecting to it and adding their id to the host manifest's allowed_origins.

* Address review on the WhatsApp theme bridge
Light/dark was decided by weighting raw sRGB bytes, which the comment above
it already described as WCAG relative luminance. sRGB is gamma-encoded, so
the weights only mean anything once each channel is linearized — the two
steps the shell already does in Panel.qml. Every shipped theme classifies the
same either way; a mid-tone custom background does not (#808080 reads 0.502
unlinearized and 0.216 linearized).
Drop the `tabs` permission. The WhatsApp host permission is what lets
tabs.query filter by url and what populates tab urls in onUpdated, so `tabs`
only widened this to every tab's url and title. Tabs without permission
arrive with url unset and fall out on the existing guard.
Give the two new bin commands their metadata directives. Without a summary
they failed test/cli's command metadata check.
Cover all three: the classifier over unambiguous and mid-tone backgrounds,
and the manifest for the permission it should no longer ask for.

* Scope color-scheme listeners to their query and test the real host
Registrations all shared one Set keyed only by callback, so an app that gave
the same callback to both the dark and the light query and later detached one
detached the other too, leaving the query it still held deaf to theme
changes. Record the owning MediaQueryList and match on it. Adds native
dedupe behaviour while there: registering the same callback twice fired it
twice. addListener is a legacy alias of addEventListener("change"), so the
two share one registration space and either remover cancels either add —
which is also why useEvent had nothing left to select and is gone.
The refresh test signalled a synthetic sleeper carrying its own USR1 trap, so
it proved the refresh command sends a signal but would have stayed green
through any regression in the host's own trap, watchdog wait, or second
write. Drive the real host over a FIFO instead, count framed messages, and
assert the second one is a usable theme. Verified by neutering the host's
USR1 trap: the old test passed, this one fails.

* Make menu overflow visible with a half-row peek and edge fades
Menus used to cut off clean at ten rows, so anything below the fold was
undiscoverable. Now the list sizes to what fits within 60% of the screen
and always ends mid-row when items overflow, with scroll-position-driven
fades at both edges. Keyboard navigation keeps the next hidden row peeking
past the cursor so the fold affordance travels with the selection.

* Add Wi-Fi QR sharing to network panel
* Refine Wi-Fi QR sharing
* Use QR glyph for Wi-Fi sharing
* Add click-to-reveal password to the Wi-Fi share card
Scanning the QR is the fast path, but the person typing on a laptop needs
the actual password. A dimmed "Show password" hint under the QR toggles
the secret in place.
The password stays out of the shell until asked for: a click runs the new
omarchy-network-password helper (a private pipe, never an argument), and
closing the card drops it again. Open and enterprise networks never show
the control.
The card loses its Close button -- Escape and clicking outside already
cover it -- and now sizes itself to its content.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
* Keep a dismissed Wi-Fi share card closed and make Escape reliable
Closing the card mid-generation killed the helper, but its buffered
stdout still arrived and repopulated the matrix, reopening the card the
user just closed. Both collectors now honor qrExpectedStop, and the flag
survives onExited because exit and stream-finished have no guaranteed
order. The password fetch gets the same treatment so a reveal in flight
during dismissal can't stash the secret into a closed card's state.
The content's focus was claimed while the window was still unmapped, so
Escape could land nowhere. Re-acquire it after mapping, the way
KeyboardPanel does.

* Share WEP networks correctly and restore the QR quiet zone
NetworkManager models WEP as key-mgmt "none" plus a wep-key, so the QR
helper encoded WEP networks as open -- a QR that scans fine and then
silently fails to join. Encode them as T:WEP and let the password helper
print the key.
Also widen qrencode's margin from 2 to the spec's 4-module quiet zone;
the card surround is dark, so that white border is all a scanner gets.

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.

Kvantum is a QStyle plugin, so it only ever painted the three QWidget
apps we ship, and it painted them with its own stock look: Omarchy has
never shipped a .kvconfig, so nothing about it tracked the active theme.
Without it Qt falls back to built-in Fusion while the palette still comes
from QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk3, so everything stays dark and now follows
the theme instead of ignoring it. Measured across a full 1920x1080 frame,
dropping it moves obs-studio by 132 pixels -- it overrides the platform
style with its own stylesheet anyway -- kdenlive by 0.8%, and the
Hyprland share picker by 4.7%. Flatter buttons, classic tabs, a
conventional checkbox tick.
Existing machines get a migration, which the Qt5 stack never did. The
difference is that this removal cannot reach the greeter. kvantum-qt5
goes in the same transaction, since it is the only thing that requires
kvantum, and it takes qt5-svg and qt5-x11extras along with it -- but
qt5-wayland is explicitly installed, so the cascade stops there and
leaves qt5-declarative and qt5-base standing for any sddm theme still
starting the Qt5 greeter.
kvantummanager stays in launcher.hides. The entry costs nothing once the
package is gone, and it keeps Kvantum Manager out of the launcher on
machines that have not run the migration yet.

The widget hid itself well enough that nobody found it: it only ever
appeared if you knew the id and ran `omarchy bar plugin add`, since it was
in neither the shipped layout nor any migration.
Defaulting it on costs nothing on machines that don't use it. Panel.qml is
`visible: providers.length > 0`, and Main.qml only counts a provider that
is enabled and has actually recorded prompts, sessions, active days, or a
rate limit. A box that has never run Claude Code or Codex draws an empty
bar item, and the icon arrives on its own at the first scan that finds
usage — which is the behavior the widget already advertised.
The migration skips any config that already lists the widget in any
section, so a curated bar keeps its own placement rather than gaining a
second copy.

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.

Chromium ships in the base packages, so it never goes through
omarchy-install-browser, and a first install stamps every migration as
already applied without running it. That left both bundled extensions
loaded from chromium-flags.conf with no host to talk to: Copy URL did
nothing at all, since the clipboard write and the toast both live in the
host.
The user install now registers both hosts itself, and a migration
repairs the installs that already missed out — Copy URL since 1784763917
landed, Download Video since 1780517689, unless installing a browser or
refreshing Chromium happened to fix them along the way.

The resize guard reads the Used column for /dev/zram0 out of /proc/swaps
and treats a missing row as an empty device, which is right for a device
that doesn't exist yet: the restart is what brings it up against the
config daemon-reload just generated. A device that exists and is merely
swapped off reads the same, and there the restart resets it first, which
returns EBUSY for as long as anything still holds it open. That leaves a
bare "Job failed. See 'journalctl -xe' for details." in the migration
output and falls through to asking for the reboot that would have
resized it anyway.
Tell the two apart by whether /sys/block/zram0/disksize is there at all.
The test modelled an absent device as a blank disksize file, which no
longer stands in for one, so it removes the file instead.

updatedb refuses to run at all on a config that defines a variable twice
("variable `PRUNEPATHS' was already defined"), so any rewrite that misses
an existing line and appends a second one takes the locate index down
rather than fixing it. Two shapes updatedb accepts got missed: a trailing
comment after the value, and a setting indented by whitespace.
Read the existing paths out of the quoted value and write the whole
setting back canonically instead of splicing into a line of unknown
shape. Quotes are not optional to updatedb ("value in quotes expected
after `='"), so a bare value is already a broken config: rewriting it
quoted repairs the file as a side effect.
The tests now hand every rewritten file to the real parser through
`updatedb --config-file`, which is what caught this.
Read the Snapper config as root when the running user cannot read it.
snapper create-config leaves the config root-only, and a config the user
cannot read was passing for one that wants its timeline snapshots kept.
Report the snapshots the drain could not delete. omarchy-migrate writes
the completion marker whether or not the batches succeeded, so there is
no later run to pick up the remainder, whatever the comment claimed.

* 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.

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

it's an image, and a click to open it.

* 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.

* 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

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.

* 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

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.

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.

zram-generator creates no device at all when nothing configures one, so the
/etc copy is the only thing holding up swap until the vendor drop-in lands.
Removing it early costs a machine its zram entirely, not just its tuning.
The update pipeline installs packages before it runs migrations, so a packaged
machine always has the drop-in by then. A dev checkout does not: omarchy-update-dev
pulls migrations from a release the installed package has never seen, and no
ordering of the pipeline can produce a file that has not been built yet.
Checking for the drop-in is what makes the removal safe rather than well
sequenced.
The tests pinned the drop-in path to a fixture as well. Left at the real path
they would pass or fail on whether the machine running them happened to carry
the packaged copy.

Migrations run under bash -euo pipefail, where an assignment from a failed
command substitution ends the script. Reading InhibitDelayMaxSec out of a
drop-in that is not there exits sed 2, so the migration died at exactly the
condition it was written to detect: instead of flagging reboot-required, it
aborted before reaching the flag. The busctl read had the same shape, with
pipefail standing in for the failed substitution.
An aborted migration is never marked complete and takes omarchy-migrate's own
-e down with it, so the two migrations queued behind this one stopped running
as well.

zram-size = min(ram, 8192) is Fedora's default since F34, where
zram-fraction=1.0 with max-zram-size=8192 has run on desktops for five
years. The previous min(ram / 2, 8192) halved that on every machine
below 16G with nothing behind the fraction; at 16G and above the two
already agree.
A changed size only reaches a running device on the next boot, so the
migration resizes an empty device now and asks for a reboot otherwise.
It asks the generator what the config evaluates to rather than
repeating the expression here, and does neither when the device already
matches.

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.

Closing the lid could suspend the machine with the session still exposed.
omarchy-sleep-lock held a delay inhibitor and waited for Quickshell to report
the session secure, but a delay inhibitor is a timer rather than a promise:
logind suspends once InhibitDelayMaxSec expires, locked or not. The default is
five seconds, and closing the lid also reconfigures displays -- exactly when
the lock service is waiting for the screen set to settle before it can secure.
The race is now off the critical path. switch:on:Lid Switch runs
omarchy-system-lid-close, which requests the lock the moment the lid closes,
before logind has decided to suspend at all, so the inhibitor window usually
finds the session already secure. A docked lid close does not suspend
(HandleLidSwitchDocked defaults to ignore) and must not lock either, since that
is clamshell mode still in use on the external display, so the handler gates on
the same closed-and-undocked pair logind itself keys on.
Suspends that never touch the lid -- idle timeout, the system menu, low battery
-- still arrive through the inhibitor, so that path gets room to work too. The
shipped drop-in raises InhibitDelayMaxSec to 15s, and the helper derives its
budget from logind's live InhibitDelayMaxUSec rather than assuming the drop-in
landed: a machine that has not reloaded logind yet, or that carries its own
override, gets a budget that fits what logind will actually allow. It leaves
logind a fifth of its own window and caps at 12s, so a hand-raised window
cannot strand a closed laptop awake in a bag.
The wait itself had three defects. Its deadline arithmetic read EPOCHREALTIME
assuming a period, so under any comma-decimal locale the subtraction parsed as
bash's comma operator and silently voided the deadline, leaving only the
attempt counter to stop it. The lock request shared the status polls' timeout
and exited on first failure, so a shell 300ms slow meant suspending unlocked;
it now has its own budget and is simply retried, since asking again is
idempotent. And a refusal the shell reports on stdout with a zero exit --
missing-pam -- read as success, burning the whole window on a lock that could
never happen.
Every call is bounded by what is left of the budget rather than by an estimate
of what the step should cost, so the deadline holds on hardware slower than
anything the constants were fitted to.
Failure is still possible and it used to be silent. It now writes to the
journal and raises a critical notification, which lands on the screen the user
unlocks into.
Incidentally, monitor-recovery-test asserted lid probing against
omarchy-hw-clamshell after that logic moved to omarchy-hw-laptop-closed. It
aborted the file under set -e, skipping the nine assertions behind it.

1781158082.sh matched an explicit list of three legacy spellings for

those installs fell through the case, kept a dangling link, and Neovim
loaded no colorscheme spec at all. The failure looks theme-specific
because it only surfaces when you next switch themes.
Editing that migration would not help anyone, since it is already marked
applied. Add a new one that matches the shared suffix instead of an
enumerated list, so every spelling of the pre-state-dir path is caught.
It exits early when the link already points at the state directory and
ignores targets outside omarchy/current, leaving custom links alone.

tmux only raises an activity flag for windows that are not currently
selected, so a long-running command in the window you left selected --
the common case, since you switch away by moving your Hyprland focus
elsewhere rather than by selecting another tmux window -- finished
silently and the indicator never lit.
Windows now also count as waiting when they are selected in an attached
client, every client showing them is unfocused, and their window_activity
is newer than an @omarchy_unfocused_activity watermark. The watermark is
stamped by a new `track` subcommand wired to client-focus-in/out and the
existing select-window hooks, so it records where attention last was.
The hooks pass #{window_id} and #{window_activity} as arguments, which
tmux expands when the hook fires; run-shell -b would otherwise let output
arriving during the handoff be swallowed by the new watermark. The focus
hooks take index 100 to leave a user's own bindings alone.
That state has no hook of its own, so it needs polling to be noticed.
The probe therefore moves out of the indicator and into a service plugin,
alongside nightlight and battery. A bar surface exists per monitor and
each one instantiates every indicator twice, once per block, so a timer
on the indicator meant a shell-out per instance per tick -- four probe
processes every three seconds on a two-monitor machine, forever. One
service polls for the whole shell instead.
Sharing the state also fixes what per-instance polling would have papered
over: each indicator used to own its own count, so a timer-driven update
only refreshed the bar it ran on and left the other monitors stale.
Refreshes still arrive over the existing indicator broadcast, which now
coalesces into a single run no matter how many bars relay it.

The lineup now reads toward the clock instead of away from it, so Stay
Awake sits nearest the time, then do-not-disturb, night light, reminder,
screen recording, dictation, and tmux alerts trailing off to the left.
Active indicators render after the hover-revealed ones so they stay
against the clock, and a newly active indicator joins on the far side
rather than shoving the ones already showing sideways.

Omarchy installed zram-generator but never shipped a config for it, so the
only zram tuning any machine had was whatever the ISO wrote once, and the VM
sysctls were untouched kernel defaults aimed at spinning disks.
The generator's own default caps the device at 4G, which on a large machine
sends reclaim to the hibernation swapfile far earlier than it needs to go.
Ship min(ram / 2, 8192) instead, matching what Fedora settles on, and state
the priority explicitly since it has to sit above the pri=0 that
omarchy-hibernation-setup gives the disk swapfile.
The four sysctls follow from swap being RAM rather than a disk. swappiness
above 100 says evicting an anonymous page beats dropping a page-cache page
that would have to be read back, which is true once swap is compressed
memory. page-cluster drops to one page per fault because the default of 8
buys readahead for a seek zram doesn't have and pays a decompression for
each page. Zeroing watermark_boost_factor stops fragmentation from producing
reclaim bursts while memory is still free, and raising watermark_scale_factor
gives kswapd room to reclaim in the background instead of letting allocations
stall in direct reclaim. The last two are what actually addresses the stutter
people notice and misread as swap being used too eagerly: proactive swapping
to zram is the cure, and synchronous direct reclaim is the disease.
Every ISO-installed machine already has an unowned zram-generator.conf, which
pacman would refuse to overwrite, so both upgrade paths need it listed.

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.

Kernel 7.1 unpacks the initramfs asynchronously, which races /init: the
early /proc, /sys, /dev, and /run mounts fail with EPERM while unpacking
settles, so plymouthd exits when it can't read /proc/cmdline and encrypted
boots fall back to an unthemed text LUKS prompt. Boot still completes only
because the kernel passes key=value cmdline params to init as environment
variables and devtmpfs is automounted.
Force synchronous unpacking via initramfs_async=0 until the race is fixed
upstream: in the packaged defaults for fresh installs, and via migration
for existing systems.

The on-battery toggle bought a fraction of a watt while the radio
idled -- twenty-some minutes across a full discharge in the best case
-- and paid for it with 20-300ms latency spikes on idle links and
outright link drops on Intel BE200/BE211 firmware. NetworkManager can
keep power save off natively with one conf.d line, which replaces the
udev rule, the setter script, and any per-card deny-listing.

The generator fix only helps fresh installs; existing wrappers in
~/.local/bin keep the recursive exec line until rewritten. Detect the
generated wrapper shape, extract package and bin, and reinstall each
one, which also repairs wrappers users created for their own packages.

Show a bar indicator whenever tmux has flagged a window, the same state
that highlights the tab, and jump to it on click or with Super + Ctrl + J.
Tmux hooks push the state to the shell, so nothing polls while no pane is
waiting.

Extend the clamshell gate to /etc/pam.d/sudo, not just polkit-1. When the
lid is shut the reader is unreachable, so a terminal sudo would block on
"Place your finger" until pam_fprintd timed out before letting you type the
password. The same pam_exec gate (success=1 skips fingerprint when the lid
is closed) now runs ahead of pam_fprintd in the sudo stack as well.
setup and removal share one gate definition across sudo and polkit; the
migration now gates both stacks on existing installs.
Resolves the clamshell case in #856 and supersedes #6003.

Bring the fingerprint affordance to the Quickshell lock screen and polkit
dialog, matching what hyprlock did on master.
Lock screen: render the md-fingerprint glyph inside the password field's
right edge when a sensor is enrolled, reserving space so long passwords
never run under it.
Polkit dialog: show one method at a time. When a sensor is enrolled and
the reader is reachable, the dialog is just the centered fingerprint icon
(square card); the moment PAM asks for a password it switches to the
password field. Detects pam_fprintd anywhere in the auth stack now that a
gate can precede it.
Lid awareness: a closed lid means the reader is unreachable, so both
surfaces fall back to the password. polkit gets a pam_exec clamshell gate
(auth [success=1 default=ignore] before pam_fprintd) so a shut lid drops
straight to the password prompt instead of blocking on the reader for the
pam_fprintd timeout; the lock screen hides the icon and skips scanning.
The gate points at the fixed /usr/bin path the package always provides so
it survives switching between package installs and dev-link. A migration
adds the gate for existing fingerprint setups.
New helper omarchy-hw-laptop-closed (pure lid state); omarchy-hw-clamshell
now composes it with the external-monitor check.

Installs from before the Snapper setup was normalized ran hourly
timeline snapshots. Newer configs stopped creating them but never
deleted the existing ones, and number cleanup skips snapshots marked
Cleanup=timeline, so they sit there forever: one machine installed from
the 2026-05-11 ISO had accumulated 592 of them, silently pinning 219 GB
of disk. The limine-snapper-sync limit-mismatch warning that would have
surfaced this is disabled by default since the notifier migration.
Delete leaked timeline snapshots in batches of 20 (a single mass delete
can die on a DBus timeout partway through), and only when
TIMELINE_CREATE="no" so anyone who deliberately re-enabled timeline
snapshotting keeps their setup untouched.
The drain is best effort: a batch that fails is skipped rather than
aborting the migration run and everything queued behind it, since the
next run re-lists whatever is left.
The stock Arch updatedb.conf interacts badly with Omarchy's Btrfs
layout in both directions:
- Snapper snapshots under /.snapshots are nested subvolumes reached by
plain directory traversal, so updatedb indexes the entire system once
per snapshot. On machines that accumulated snapshots this means
multi-hour updatedb runs at full CPU, gigabytes of RAM, and a
multi-gigabyte plocate.db (observed: 18 GB db, 7.5 h runs at 96% CPU
with 592 snapshots; 43 MB and ~1 min after the fix).
- PRUNE_BIND_MOUNTS="yes" treats Btrfs subvolume mounts like /home as
bind mounts, so locate finds nothing in home directories at all.
Configure updatedb.conf at install time and migrate existing installs,
then rebuild the index in the background. Both settings are matched
tolerantly and appended when absent, so a hand-edited updatedb.conf is
fixed rather than silently skipped.
quickshell 0.3.0's qs kill returns before the instance exits, forcing
restart tooling to babysit pids. Upstream fixed kill to block until the
process is gone, but only on master, so the Omarchy repo now carries
quickshell-git pinned past that fix. New installs get it from the base
packages; existing installs migrate with a single --ask 4 transaction so
the conflicting quickshell package is replaced in place, then restart
the shell after the update to pick up the new binary.

graphical.target was gated on network-online.target: cups-browsed orders
itself After=network-online.target and sits in multi-user.target, so the
session waited for NetworkManager-wait-online (DHCP/Wi-Fi association)
before coming up. On the bench VM that was ~140ms, but it's the classic
multi-second boot stall on real Wi-Fi.
Mask NetworkManager-wait-online.service so network-online.target is
reached immediately and nothing in the boot waits for connectivity;
NetworkManager still comes up and cups-browsed browses once the link is
live. Mirrors the existing systemd-networkd-wait-online mask. Enabled at
install (enable-services.sh) and masked on existing installs via
migration.
Verified on a fresh boot: the graphical.target critical chain no longer
passes through network-online.target / NetworkManager-wait-online.
