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-KEYBINDINGS-STDERR-FAILS-DISPATCH

Successful hyprctl dispatch with a stderr warning is treated as a refusal and the exec command runs twice

OpenOpenMedium

Medium-severity issue, currently open.

Description

The issue as recorded.

dispatch_lua_expression captures 'hyprctl dispatch ... 2>&1' and accepts only status 0 with an empty or exactly-'ok' body (bin/omarchy-menu-keybindings:605-608). A compositor that succeeds but warns on stderr fails the body test and the function returns 1. dispatch_exec_binding's '|| hyprctl dispatch exec' (line 620) then runs the command a second time - double execution for any warned-but-accepted dispatch.

What protects you, and the fix

What limits your exposure today, and the planned remediation.

What protects you now

Requires a compositor that warns on stderr while accepting the dispatch; current Hyprland accepts cleanly with empty stderr

The fix

Decide success on the exit status alone (or capture stderr separately and ignore it). Then a warning can never flip an accepted dispatch into a fallback re-execution
