Omarchy
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.
stripJsonc removes only whole-line // comments; an inline comment tail empties the whole file (omacom/omarchy#13493)
Low-severity issue, currently open.
Description
The issue as recorded.
The stripJsonc comment pass (shell/plugins/menu/MenuModel.js:4) matches only at the start of a line. A // comment after content on the same line stays in the text. JSON.parse then rejects the file, and parseMenuJsonc returns no rows.
One inline note in the user extension drops every user entry; in the default file it drops every row. docs/menu.md documents this limitation. Upstream issue: omacom/omarchy#13493. Report intake validated it (report cmulr8j7w0hy01gw4menggvbx).

What protects you, and the fix
What limits your exposure today, and the planned remediation.
What protects you now
docs/menu.md documents the limitation, and comments on their own line work. The failure is visible: the user entries disappear. It does not corrupt data silently
The fix
Strip inline // tails outside strings without breaking the comma-then-comment-line shape (omacom/omarchy PR 13512 needs that fix first; see fork prep/upstream-13512 and pr/13512 with SW-REQ-260928-C8W1)
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.
