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-STRIP-GAPS

stripJsonc parser gaps: comma behind a // comment survives, // eats the newline, block comments and CR pass through

OpenOpenLow

Low-severity issue, currently open.

Description

The issue as recorded.

stripJsonc (shell/plugins/menu/MenuModel.js:2-37) drops a comma only when the next non-whitespace char is }/]. So a // comment between them keeps the comma and JSON.parse rejects the file. The // eater consumes through end-of-line WITHOUT keeping the newline, gluing adjacent tokens ([1//c\n2] parses as [12]). Block comments /* */ have no branch and the stripper copies them through. A // comment under CR-only line endings eats to the next LF or EOF. Each corruption makes parseMenuJsonc return an empty item set for a valid JSONC menu.

What protects you, and the fix

What limits your exposure today, and the planned remediation.

What protects you now

a whole-file comment or comma-shape already breaks the menu (parse returns []), which is visible

The fix

strip only the comment bytes, preserving the line break; add a block-comment branch; treat CR as a line terminator
