Omarchy
ProbeLabs65 findings · 95 requirementsA 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
What happens. Every time the idle lock fires while the screensaver is up, ttfx aborts and systemd-coredump writes a ~1 MB core. 25/25 ttfx core dumps on this machine occurred within milliseconds of omarchy-system-lock.
Expected. The screensaver shuts down cleanly on lock, as it does on dismissal.
Cause. omarchy-system-lock ends with pkill -f '[o]rg.omarchy.screensaver', which matches the screensaver terminal but not ttfx (whose cmdline contains no such string). Killing the terminal closes the pty master; ttfx, rendering at 120 fps, hits EIO on its next write, tries to report it via eprintln!, and that write also fails:
thread 'main' panicked at library/std/src/io/stdio.rs:1166:9:
failed printing to stderr: Input/output error (os error 5)(Panic text recovered from the core's memory; the binary is stripped so the backtrace itself does not symbolize.)
omarchy-screensaver's own exit_screensaver() already uses the correct order — pkill -x ttfx first, then the terminal — so the dismissal path is clean and only the lock path is affected.
Timeline of one instance:
13:14:12.860 idle: lock-system: lock-timeout -> omarchy-system-lock
13:14:13.002 lock script exits 0
13:14:13.008 ttfx aborts (SIGABRT)
13:14:13.043 hyprland: failed to read client connection (terminal)
13:14:13.492 lock secure=trueRepro. Let the screensaver start, then let the idle lock deadline pass without touching input. coredumpctl list | grep ttfx.
Fix. Kill ttfx before the terminal in omarchy-system-lock (mirroring exit_screensaver), and/or make ttfx exit quietly on EIO/EPIPE from the output tty.
System. Omarchy 4.0.0.r1687.gf5893dd-1, ttfx 0.3.1-1, terminal foot. Backtrace is unsymbolized — ttfx ships stripped and is not on debuginfod.archlinux.org.

**What happens.** Every time the idle lock fires while the screensaver is up, `ttfx` aborts and systemd-coredump writes a ~1 MB core. 25/25 ttfx core dumps on this machine occurred within milliseconds of `omarchy-system-lock`. **Expected.** The screensaver shuts down cleanly on lock, as it does on dismissal. **Cause.** `omarchy-system-lock` ends with `pkill -f '[o]rg.omarchy.screensaver'`, which matches the screensaver *terminal* but not `ttfx` (whose cmdline contains no such string). Killing the terminal closes the pty master; ttfx, rendering at 120 fps, hits EIO on its next write, tries to report it via `eprintln!`, and that write also fails: ``` thread 'main' panicked at library/std/src/io/stdio.rs:1166:9: failed printing to stderr: Input/output error (os error 5) ``` (Panic text recovered from the core's memory; the binary is stripped so the backtrace itself does not symbolize.) `omarchy-screensaver`'s own `exit_screensaver()` already uses the correct order — `pkill -x ttfx` first, then the terminal — so the dismissal path is clean and only the lock path is affected. **Timeline of one instance:** ``` 13:14:12.860 idle: lock-system: lock-timeout -> omarchy-system-lock 13:14:13.002 lock script exits 0 13:14:13.008 ttfx aborts (SIGABRT) 13:14:13.043 hyprland: failed to read client connection (terminal) 13:14:13.492 lock secure=true ``` **Repro.** Let the screensaver start, then let the idle lock deadline pass without touching input. `coredumpctl list | grep ttfx`. **Fix.** Kill `ttfx` before the terminal in `omarchy-system-lock` (mirroring `exit_screensaver`), and/or make ttfx exit quietly on EIO/EPIPE from the output tty. **System.** Omarchy 4.0.0.r1687.gf5893dd-1, ttfx 0.3.1-1, terminal `foot`.
