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-PROVIDER-PARTIAL-COMMIT

Failed/killed providers commit their partial stdout and stay marked loaded; apps provider loads with no AppLibrary

OpenOpenLow

Low-severity issue, currently open.

Description

The issue as recorded.

providerProc.onExited merges collected stdout whenever the revision matches, with no exitCode/exitStatus check. The guardProc beside it does check (asymmetry in the same file, anchors PRV1). A failed script therefore replaces a good row set with a partial read. The code commits providersLoaded BEFORE the process proves itself (PRV2) and never clears it on failure. The submenu therefore stays stuck until a full source rebuild. The apps branch marks providersLoaded unconditionally even when appLibrary is null and mergeAppRows returns empty (PRV3), leaving an empty Apps menu with no retry.

What protects you, and the fix

What limits your exposure today, and the planned remediation.

What protects you now

A failed provider leaves partial rows until the next successful run; static menu entries remain available throughout

The fix

check exitCode/exitStatus before merging (keep last good rows otherwise), set providersLoaded only on success, and re-run mergeAppRows when appLibrary appears
