e57f3b286c Send and receive files with Taildrop (#6375)
* 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.

* 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.

* 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

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

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 always enabled; omarchy.bar is the default bar option and becomes inactive only while a third-party 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/Clock.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.
