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.
A menu summon leaves a pending uninstall question on top of the new prompt
Low-severity issue, currently open.
What this means for you
Plain-language impact — what this issue could mean for your users and your system, before any of the technical detail.
If something summons the menu while an uninstall question is open, the question stays on top of the new prompt. The dialog preselects Uninstall, so the Enter you meant for the prompt uninstalls the app. Omarchy deletes your own, web-app and TUI launchers with no further prompt; for a package, it opens the uninstall terminal. The prompt's caller gets a cancel, so the action behind it never runs.
Technical description
Every summon enters through open(), which calls openDmenu(), or openRoute() and then openExistingMenu(). These replace the mode, rows and request files while opened stays true, and none of them clears deleteConfirmOpen or deleteTarget (anchor CNF1). Only onOpenedChanged clears them, when the menu closes. The keyCatcher still sends every key to the dialog, which preselects Uninstall. Enter then runs confirmDelete(): cancel() finishes the new request with no selection, and appLibrary.remove() uninstalls the app.

What protects you, and the fix
What limits your exposure today, and the planned remediation.
What protects you now
It takes an unanswered uninstall question plus a summon, such as a script prompt that appears while you are in the Apps menu. Answering the question with Escape or Cancel, or closing the menu, clears it.
The fix
Call cancelDelete() in open(), where every summon enters, when a question is pending. PR #14054 does this.
