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.
fingerprintPam.start() returning false disables fingerprint auth for the rest of the lock with no retry
Low-severity issue, currently open.
Description
The issue as recorded.
startFingerprint (shell/plugins/lock/Service.qml:294-295) clears fingerprintAuthenticating when fingerprintPam.start() returns false but arms no timer. Only handleFingerprintFinished and the PAM onError path restart fingerprintRetryTimer; neither runs when a conversation never began. The per-event callers (onSecureStateChanged, fingerprintCheckProc.onExited) fire once - so a transient start failure leaves fingerprint dead until some unrelated event re-runs startFingerprint.

What protects you, and the fix
What limits your exposure today, and the planned remediation.
What protects you now
re-lock or a later refreshFingerprintStatus restarts it
The fix
Arm fingerprintRetryTimer in the start()-false arm so the offer comes back on the same lock
