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.
normalizeItem edge cases: null parent kept, boolean guards preserved, action:0 mis-kinded, numeric labels
Low-severity issue, currently open.
Description
The issue as recorded.
normalizeItem infers the parent only when the parent field equals undefined (F17a). An explicit null parent therefore stays null, and the path helpers then coerce it. A boolean when/checked/disabled passes the ||-default and later throws inside guard generation (F17b). Kind derives from truthiness so action:0 yields a menu row (F17c). The code stores a numeric label as a number. A non-string alias stringifies to '[object Object]', which the search index then matches for the term 'object' (F23).

What protects you, and the fix
What limits your exposure today, and the planned remediation.
What protects you now
Every trigger needs malformed user JSONC (null parent, boolean guards, numeric labels); the shipped menus stay well-formed
The fix
treat null like undefined for parent, coerce when/checked/disabled to strings or reject non-strings, String() the label, and filter aliases to strings
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.
