Proof Portal

Project overview

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

Update log is written to /tmp and lost on rebootrevision 1 · captured 2026-10-04 11:49 UTC via poll

Problem

omarchy-update-perform writes the update log to /tmp/omarchy-update.log. When the update includes a kernel upgrade, omarchy-update-restart triggers a reboot, which wipes /tmp. The log is lost before the user can review it.

Suggestion

Write the log to ~/.local/state/omarchy/update.log instead. That directory already exists and is used for migration state and toggles. It survives reboots and follows XDG conventions.

The change is one line in bin/omarchy-update-perform:

# before
exec > >(tee "/tmp/omarchy-update.log") 2>&1

# after
exec > >(tee "$HOME/.local/state/omarchy/update.log") 2>&1
