ProbeLabs65 findings · 95 requirements

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.

Original report

Bluetooth panel shows the device's raw hardware Name instead of the user-set Aliasrevision 1 · captured 2026-09-28 21:24 UTC via poll

What happened

Renaming a paired Bluetooth device (via bluetoothctl set-alias or setting
the BlueZ Alias D-Bus property directly) does not change what the
Bluetooth bar panel displays. It keeps showing the device's original
hardware-advertised name.

What was expected

The panel should show the custom alias, the same way GNOME/KDE Bluetooth
settings and bluetoothctl devices do — Alias is the whole point of a
user-facing rename.

Root cause

In shell/plugins/panels/bluetooth/Model.js, deviceLabel() is:

function deviceLabel(device) {
if (!device) return ""
return String(device.deviceName || device.name || "").trim()
}

device.name is Quickshell's Quickshell.Bluetooth.BluetoothDevice.name
— writable (setName), backed by BlueZ's Alias. device.deviceName is
the read-only property backed by BlueZ's raw Name. The function checks
deviceName first, so any device with a real hardware name (i.e. every
device that has ever had a human-readable name) always shows that instead
of a custom alias, because deviceName is never empty.

Suggested fix

Swap the priority:

return String(device.name || device.deviceName || "").trim()

Verified locally: cloning the plugin and applying this one-line swap
makes the panel correctly reflect the alias.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Pair a Bluetooth device that has its own hardware name (e.g. headphones).
  2. bluetoothctl set-alias "My Custom Name" (or set Alias via D-Bus).
  3. Open the Bluetooth bar panel — the custom name never appears.

### What happened
Renaming a paired Bluetooth device (via `bluetoothctl set-alias` or setting
the BlueZ `Alias` D-Bus property directly) does not change what the
Bluetooth bar panel displays. It keeps showing the device's original
hardware-advertised name.

### What was expected
The panel should show the custom alias, the same way GNOME/KDE Bluetooth
settings and `bluetoothctl devices` do — Alias is the whole point of a
user-facing rename.

### Root cause
In `shell/plugins/panels/bluetooth/Model.js`, `deviceLabel()` is:

    function deviceLabel(device) {
      if (!device) return ""
      return String(device.deviceName || device.name || "").trim()
    }

`device.name` is Quickshell's `Quickshell.Bluetooth.BluetoothDevice.name`
— writable (`setName`), backed by BlueZ's `Alias`. `device.deviceName` is
the read-only property backed by BlueZ's raw `Name`. The function checks
`deviceName` first, so any device with a real hardware name (i.e. every
device that has ever had a human-readable name) always shows that instead
of a custom alias, because `deviceName` is never empty.

### Suggested fix
Swap the priority:

    return String(device.name || device.deviceName || "").trim()

Verified locally: cloning the plugin and applying this one-line swap
makes the panel correctly reflect the alias.

### Steps to reproduce
1. Pair a Bluetooth device that has its own hardware name (e.g. headphones).
2. `bluetoothctl set-alias "My Custom Name"` (or set `Alias` via D-Bus).
3. Open the Bluetooth bar panel — the custom name never appears.
