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-JSONC-CR-LINE-ENDINGS

A whole-line comment in a CR-only menu file swallows the rest of the file

OpenOpenLow

Low-severity issue, currently open.

Description

The issue as recorded.

The comment pass in stripJsonc (shell/plugins/menu/MenuModel.js) is /^\s*\/\/[^\n]*(\n|$)/gm. With the m flag, ^ also matches after a lone CR. But [^\n]* stops only at LF. Some editors save a file with CR-only line endings (classic Mac style). In such a file the first whole-line // comment runs to the end of the file. The pass deletes the rest of the document, JSON.parse fails, and parseMenuJsonc returns an empty item set. We checked this live under Quickshell 0.3.1. FileView keeps CR as read. The real MenuModel.js parses a CR-only file with one comment line to 0 rows. LF and CRLF files parse correctly, and so do CR-only files without comments. pocs/menu-jsonc-cr-line-endings.sh reproduces it with LF, CRLF and comment-free controls. test/shell.d/menu-test.sh pins it as a green tripwire.

What protects you, and the fix

What limits your exposure today, and the planned remediation.

What protects you now

Save the menu file with LF or CRLF line endings. The defect does not affect a CR-only file without comments.

The fix

End a // comment at any line terminator that the m flag uses: CR, LF, U+2028 and U+2029. Or normalise CR and CRLF to LF before the comment pass. omacom/omarchy#13968 does not change this, because its comment drop also stops only before LF. Close criterion: pocs/menu-jsonc-cr-line-endings.sh exits 0 and the KI-MENU-JSONC-CR-LINE-ENDINGS tripwire in test/shell.d/menu-test.sh flips red.
