The indicators widget broadcast a refresh every 2s, fanning out to four status subprocesses (nightlight, idle, reminder, screen-recording), and NightLight/StayAwake each ran an additional 5s poll. On an idle desktop this was the dominant source of process churn (~33 of ~53 forks/sec in a VM). The state-changing commands already push `omarchy.indicators refresh` over IPC, so the polling was redundant. Drop the 2s broadcast and the two 5s timers; indicators now refresh at startup and on the IPC push. Also fix three callers that pushed to the wrong target `Indicators` instead of `omarchy.indicators` (screen recording, notification silencing, and the omarchy-shell help example) — those pushes silently failed and only appeared to work because the poll masked them. Idle fork rate drops ~53/s to ~20/s. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
