9b8bf1da71 Fix two races in the notification popup and history handling (#6735)
* Replay the history a dismissal or a clear was still being written into

The popup files a replay reads are written by a serialized queue of shell
jobs, and the read ran as its own process alongside it. A dismissal issued a
moment earlier could still be queued when the directory was read, leaving the
notification out of the replay it was the newest entry of, and a clear issued
a moment earlier could still be queued too, replaying entries it was about to
remove.

The read now waits for the queue to go idle, so the replay shows the history
as of the moment it was asked for rather than whichever jobs happened to have
landed.

* Catch up on an update that arrived before its popup had a row

Watching a notification for in-place updates starts the moment it is handed
over, but the row those updates write to is inserted a tick later, deferred to
keep a mid-incubation Repeater from being mutated underneath. A client fast
enough to update inside that window found no row to write to, and a property
that has already changed does not change again — so the toast and its file sat
on the superseded content until something else moved.

The row is now refreshed from the live notification once it exists. That reads
the same object the signals would have, so an update that beat the insert is
picked up and one that did not costs nothing: a refresh whose content matches
the row it would write is dropped, which also collapses the several signals a
single multi-property update emits into one rewrite.

* Hold queued file work behind the replay's read, not just ahead of it

The read waited for everything queued before it, but nothing stopped the queue
from running on while it worked. A clear or an archive issued during the read
could delete or move files out from under awk mid-glob, so a replay could still
show a partial history — some of what a clear was in the middle of emptying.

The read is a barrier in both directions now: the queue holds until it exits,
and it releases on exit rather than on output, so a read that comes back empty
or fails cannot park the queue behind it.

* Queue the replay's read instead of waiting for the queue to empty

Waiting for the queue to go idle before starting the read still let work
overtake it. A clear or an archive enqueued after the replay was asked for,
while the current job was running, was dequeued the moment that job exited —
the read only starts once nothing is left — so the replay showed the state
after those jobs, which is the race this was meant to close. Unbroken file
traffic could postpone the read indefinitely for the same reason.

The read is now an entry in that queue rather than a process running beside
it. It takes its place in line behind the work queued before the request and
ahead of everything queued after, so no later job can overtake it and no
amount of traffic can push it back.

First-party plugins

These plugins ship with Omarchy and are discovered by the shell at startup. They use the same manifest.json contract as third-party plugins; the only difference is that the shell flags them with __isFirstParty: true. First-party non-bar plugins are enabled unless listed in disabledPlugins[]; omarchy.bar is the default bar option and becomes inactive only while another kind: "bar" plugin is selected. Services and keep-loaded panels are mounted at startup; other panels, overlays, and menus are loaded on demand.

User-installed plugins live alongside these conceptually but on disk under ~/.config/omarchy/plugins/<plugin-id>/ rather than in this directory.

First-party bar-only widgets also carry manifests next to their QML files, e.g. bar/widgets/Workspaces.manifest.json. Rich popup widgets live in their own plugin directories, each with its own manifest.json.

Bar

The built-in status bar and default full-bar option. Layout lives in the top-level bar: subtree of ~/.config/omarchy/shell.json (with the shell providing config/omarchy/shell.json when the user has no file). See bar/README.md for the widget catalogue and customization schema.

Image picker

Fullscreen image-grid selector overlay. Used by omarchy-menu-images (wallpaper picker) and omarchy-theme-switcher (theme picker) and any other caller that wants to present a directory of images with previews.

Two ways to drive it:

  • Shell-level summon: omarchy-shell shell summon omarchy.image-picker '<jsonPayload>'. The payload can carry imageDirs, imageRows, selectedImage, selectionFile, doneFile, showLabels, filterable. Best for in-shell callers that already speak JSON.
  • Direct IPC target: omarchy-shell image-selector open <imageDirs> <imageRowsB64> <selectedImage> <selectionFile> <doneFile> <showLabels> <filterable>. Positional args; imageRowsB64 is base64-encoded so embedded newlines / tabs survive the bash argv handoff. This is what omarchy-menu-images uses. Colors come from the central shell theme singleton; there is no per-call override surface.

The selection round-trip remains file-based: callers create a selection_file and done_file (both mktemp), pass the paths, and poll done_file for existence. The plugin writes the chosen path into selection_file and touches done_file when it's done. cancel IPC clears it without writing a selection.

The plugin has keepLoaded: true so the layer-shell window survives between summons within a single shell session.

Lock screen

Session-lock surface using Quickshell's native WlSessionLock and two separate PAM services: omarchy-lock-password for password auth and, only when fingerprints are enrolled, omarchy-lock-fingerprint for fingerprint auth. It mirrors the previous lock screen field dimensions, colors, blurred wallpaper, placeholder, and Hyprland-driven corners.

Polkit agent

Theme-aware authentication dialog for privileged actions. It uses Quickshell's native Quickshell.Services.Polkit.PolkitAgent backend and runs inside the long-lived omarchy-shell process, replacing the old polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 autostart.

Omarchy menu

Quickshell-powered Omarchy command menu. The menu UI lives in menu/Menu.qml as a first-party menu plugin and is summoned through the shell (omarchy-shell shell summon omarchy.menu ...), so it shares the long-running omarchy-shell process instead of starting a second Quickshell instance.

The menu definition lives outside the shell host code:

  • defaults: default/omarchy/omarchy-menu.jsonc
  • user extensions: ~/.config/omarchy/extensions/omarchy-menu.jsonc

The shell parses both JSONC files at startup (with watchChanges: true so edits take effect without a restart), evaluates when: / checked: bash expressions in a single batched subprocess, and executes the selected action: string directly via Quickshell.execDetached. The long-running shell process keeps the parsed menu in memory, so the keybind → IPC → visible path costs ~30ms cold.
