Omarchy

ProbeLabsviewing a historical run

A 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.

Known issueKI-MENU-GUARD-BATCH-STALE-APPLY

Guard batches carry no generation token: a batch computed for the previous items publishes onto the new set

OpenOpenLow

Low-severity issue, currently open.

Description

The issue as recorded.

guardProc.onExited publishes collected output with no comparison against the items generation (providerProc has a revision check, guards do not). Overlapping ids keep the previous when:false on screen. When the newer script is EMPTY the deferred path clears the maps and returns without rebuildDisplay. The open menu then stays stuck on stale visibility (SX26/C09).

What protects you, and the fix

What limits your exposure today, and the planned remediation.

What protects you now

Stale commits need a batch crossing an items reload; guards re-run on the next batch, which self-heals the visibility maps

The fix

tag each batch with an items serial and drop stale commits; rebuildDisplay after clearing the maps
