Omarchy

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

Skip incompatible Bun-based agents on CPUs below their instruction-set requirementsrevision 1 · captured 2026-09-28 21:24 UTC via poll

System details

  • Omarchy: 4.0.0-1
  • Hardware: Apple iMac10,1
  • CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E7600 (Penryn, x86-64-v1)
  • CPU features: SSE4.1; no SSE4.2, POPCNT, AVX, or AVX2
  • Kernel: 7.1.8-arch1-3
  • mise: 2026.8.6-1

What's wrong?

Omarchy's default user installation script installs Claude and Pi unconditionally:

/usr/share/omarchy/install/user/mise.sh

omarchy-mise-install claude
# ...
omarchy-mise-install pi

The current native executables for both tools are Bun-based and require CPU
instructions unavailable on older x86-64 hardware.

On this machine, both agents install successfully but crash with SIGILL when
launched.

Pi 0.84.2:

Process: /home/todor/.local/share/mise/installs/pi/0.84.2/pi/pi
Signal: SIGILL (ILL_ILLOPN)
Kernel: trap invalid opcode at pi+0x37fc488

Claude 2.1.241 crashed repeatedly at the same address:

Process: /home/todor/.local/share/mise/installs/claude/2.1.241/claude
Signal: SIGILL
Kernel: trap invalid opcode at claude+0x198e3b3

There was no memory pressure or OOM event. Approximately 9.2 GiB was available
and swap was unused.

This CPU has SSE4.1 but lacks SSE4.2, POPCNT, AVX, and AVX2. Existing upstream
reports confirm that current Bun-compiled Claude binaries fail on CPUs below
their instruction baseline. Pi's release build script likewise compiles the
standalone executable using Bun's regular bun-linux-x64 target.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install Omarchy 4.0.0 on an x86-64-v1 CPU lacking SSE4.2/POPCNT/AVX.
  2. Allow the default user installation to install Claude and Pi through mise.
  3. Run claude or pi.
  4. Observe an immediate or early SIGILL/core dump.

Expected behavior

Omarchy should detect CPU capabilities before installing known incompatible
native agents.

Possible behavior:

  • Skip incompatible tools and print a clear explanation.
  • Offer a compatible Node-based installation where one exists.
  • At minimum, warn that the installed executable cannot run on this CPU.

A feature-based check is preferable to checking CPU model names. The required
feature set should ideally be recorded per affected tool because upstream binary
requirements may differ or change.

Actual behavior

The agents install normally and only reveal the incompatibility by repeatedly
crashing and generating systemd core dumps.

Diagnostic summary

omarchy debug --no-sudo --print identifies the CPU as:

Intel Core2 Duo E7600
Architecture level: x86-64-v1
Flags: sse sse2 sse3 ssse3 sse4_1

The journal contains repeated Claude SIGILL dumps and one Pi SIGILL dump.
