ProbeLabsviewing a historical runA 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.
In-place video wallpaper overwrite during a running poster job keeps the stale poster frame
Low-severity issue, currently open.
Description
The issue as recorded.
refreshPoster drops the new request while posterProc is running (running guard, Service.qml:138) without queueing, and posterProc.onExited (523-527) commits whenever sourcePath === backgroundPath. An in-place overwrite (same path, new bytes) therefore keeps the poster hashed from the pre-overwrite stat. BackgroundVersion changes the URL but the jpeg bytes are stale, and the code schedules no second refresh.

another wallpaper change or re-lock regenerates it
The fix
Queue (or re-arm) the poster request when the running guard fires. Then compare the stat signature - not just the path - in onExited before committing
Blast radius
If you touch this issue, what else may need re-checking — the requirements it affects and the code and tests that hang off them. Historical view: authored trace links only — automatically derived links aren't reconstructible for past runs.
No authoredcode links reach these requirements in this historical reconstruction. Automatically derived code links aren't reconstructible for past runs, so implementing code may have existed without an authored trace.
