ProbeLabs73 findings · 87 requirementsA proof layer — requirements, tests and verified fixes — for two of Omarchy's subsystems: the application menu (launcher scripts, QML model, JSONC config, search and selection) and the lock screen (lock scripts, QML, PAM authentication). Scope is deliberately limited to those components of omacom/omarchy; the rest of the distribution is not covered.
Failed/empty readlink result stored as backgroundPath, wiping a good lock-screen wallpaper
Low-severity issue, currently open.
Description
The issue as recorded.
readlinkProc's handler (shell/plugins/lock/Service.qml:499-507) takes lines[0] of the collector output with no non-empty guard. The embedded bash prints only after a successful readlink, so a missing currentBackgroundLink or a readlink error yields next = ''. The next !== backgroundPath branch then clears videoPosterPath, stores backgroundPath = '', and bumps backgroundVersion. A transient wallpaper race (theme switch) then blanks the lock background until a later refresh succeeds.

What protects you, and the fix
What limits your exposure today, and the planned remediation.
What protects you now
next refreshBackground with a good link restores it
The fix
Keep the previous backgroundPath (and signature) when the readlink output is empty, and retry via a short timer instead of committing the empty result
Blast radius
