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
System details
Intel Core i7-7700HQ, Intel HD Graphics 630 + NVIDIA GTX 1060 Mobile, Omarchy 4.0.4, Hyprland 0.56.2, Google Chrome 154.0.8037.57 (native Wayland)
What's wrong?
Chrome's Live Caption bubble (实时字幕; Settings → Accessibility → Live Caption) opens as its own tiled window and takes a layout cell. It should stay a small floating caption bubble.
default/hypr/apps/browser.lua tags every Chromium-family window and forces it to tile:
o.window("((google-)?[cC]hrom(e|ium)|[bB]rave-browser|[mM]icrosoft-edge|Vivaldi-stable|helium)", { tag = "+chromium-based-browser" })
o.window({ tag = "chromium-based-browser" }, { tag = "-default-opacity", tile = true, opacity = "1.0 0.985" })That tile = true exists so --app / PWA windows do not float. It matches on class, and the Live Caption bubble is a separate xdg_toplevel with the same class as the browser (google-chrome). Hyprland would otherwise float it: shouldBeFloated() returns true for a Wayland toplevel that has a parent, or whose min size equals its max size on either axis. The tile rule is applied after that check and overrides it, so the caption bubble is pulled into the tiling layout.
Steps:
- Launch Google Chrome the usual Omarchy way (Ozone/Wayland).
- Turn on Live Caption (实时字幕). Live Translate is optional and uses the same bubble.
- Play media that contains speech.
- The caption UI is a tiled window beside the page, not a floating bubble.

A fix needs to keep real browser and --app windows tiled, and leave child or fixed-size toplevels (the Live Caption bubble, and the tear-out case in #10596) floating.

### System details

### What's wrong?
Chrome's Live Caption bubble (实时字幕; Settings → Accessibility → Live Caption) opens as its own tiled window and takes a layout cell. It should stay a small floating caption bubble.
`default/hypr/apps/browser.lua` tags every Chromium-family window and forces it to tile:
```lua
o.window("((google-)?[cC]hrom(e|ium)|[bB]rave-browser|[mM]icrosoft-edge|Vivaldi-stable|helium)", { tag = "+chromium-based-browser" })
o.window({ tag = "chromium-based-browser" }, { tag = "-default-opacity", tile = true, opacity = "1.0 0.985" })
```
That `tile = true` exists so `--app` / PWA windows do not float. It matches on class, and the Live Caption bubble is a separate `xdg_toplevel` with the same class as the browser (`google-chrome`). Hyprland would otherwise float it: `shouldBeFloated()` returns true for a Wayland toplevel that has a parent, or whose min size equals its max size on either axis. The tile rule is applied after that check and overrides it, so the caption bubble is pulled into the tiling layout.
Steps:
1. Launch Google Chrome the usual Omarchy way (Ozone/Wayland).
2. Turn on Live Caption (实时字幕). Live Translate is optional and uses the same bubble.
3. Play media that contains speech.
4. The caption UI is a tiled window beside the page, not a floating bubble.
