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

ISO Node install pins an exact version; omarchy update never converges users onto latestrevision 1 · captured 2026-09-28 21:23 UTC via poll

System details

Intel i5-9400H, UHD Graphics 630, Omarchy 4.0.2-1

What's wrong?

ISO / first-boot Node setup writes an exact mise pin. Network / runtime setup writes latest. omarchy update then runs mise up (not --bump), so those two cohorts never converge. ISO users also diverge from each other across ISO ages, because each image pins whatever tarball it shipped.

This is not a local breakage — Node 26.7.0 works — but it is a user-to-user version mismatch that omarchy update does not heal.

What I see on an ISO install

~/.config/mise/config.toml:

[tools]
codex = "latest"
gh = "latest"
go = "latest"
node = "26.7.0"
"npm:@xai-official/grok" = "latest"
"npm:playwright" = "latest"
opencode = "latest"

mise ls --current node:

node  26.7.0  ~/.config/mise/config.toml  26.7.0

After omarchy update / mise up, mise reports:

mise Newer versions are available but do not match the configured version ranges:
  node 26.7.0 → 26.8.1 (~/.config/mise/config.toml)
Run `mise outdated --bump` to view all, or `mise upgrade --bump` to update the configuration and upgrade.

Other mise tools on the same machine are latest and do move. Node is the exception because it came from the bundled tarball.

Why

install/user/mise-work.sh:

  • ISO / provision-owner with a bundled tarball: mise use -g node@"$NODE_VERSION" (exact pin, so the offline unpack is selected).
  • Any other run, or missing tarball fallback: mise use -g node@latest.

bin/omarchy-update-mise (and the mup alias) then does:

MISE_MINIMUM_RELEASE_AGE=0 mise up

That respects the configured range. An exact pin stays frozen. latest keeps moving. There is no migration that retargets the ISO pin once the machine is online.

That sits oddly next to the comment on omarchy-update-mise that running omarchy update is the user asking for current versions now. Node from the ISO path is excluded from that.

Expected

After a normal omarchy update, ISO-installed Node should follow the same policy as the network path (and as gh / go / the other mise tools), so users do not stay split by install method or ISO vintage.

Pinning the bundled tarball for offline first boot is reasonable. Leaving that exact pin in ~/.config/mise/config.toml forever is what creates the split.

Not asking users to run mise upgrade --bump. That is mise's generic hint, not an Omarchy command. Omarchy never calls --bump.

### System details

Intel i5-9400H, UHD Graphics 630, Omarchy 4.0.2-1

### What's wrong?

ISO / first-boot Node setup writes an **exact** mise pin. Network / runtime setup writes `latest`. `omarchy update` then runs `mise up` (not `--bump`), so those two cohorts never converge. ISO users also diverge from each other across ISO ages, because each image pins whatever tarball it shipped.

This is not a local breakage — Node 26.7.0 works — but it is a user-to-user version mismatch that `omarchy update` does not heal.

**What I see on an ISO install**

`~/.config/mise/config.toml`:

```toml
[tools]
codex = "latest"
gh = "latest"
go = "latest"
node = "26.7.0"
"npm:@xai-official/grok" = "latest"
"npm:playwright" = "latest"
opencode = "latest"
```

`mise ls --current node`:

```
node  26.7.0  ~/.config/mise/config.toml  26.7.0
```

After `omarchy update` / `mise up`, mise reports:

```
mise Newer versions are available but do not match the configured version ranges:
  node 26.7.0 → 26.8.1 (~/.config/mise/config.toml)
Run `mise outdated --bump` to view all, or `mise upgrade --bump` to update the configuration and upgrade.
```

Other mise tools on the same machine *are* `latest` and do move. Node is the exception because it came from the bundled tarball.

**Why**

`install/user/mise-work.sh`:

- ISO / `provision-owner` with a bundled tarball: `mise use -g node@"$NODE_VERSION"` (exact pin, so the offline unpack is selected).
- Any other run, or missing tarball fallback: `mise use -g node@latest`.

`bin/omarchy-update-mise` (and the `mup` alias) then does:

```bash
MISE_MINIMUM_RELEASE_AGE=0 mise up
```

That respects the configured range. An exact pin stays frozen. `latest` keeps moving. There is no migration that retargets the ISO pin once the machine is online.

That sits oddly next to the comment on `omarchy-update-mise` that running `omarchy update` is the user asking for current versions now. Node from the ISO path is excluded from that.

**Expected**

After a normal `omarchy update`, ISO-installed Node should follow the same policy as the network path (and as `gh` / `go` / the other mise tools), so users do not stay split by install method or ISO vintage.

Pinning the bundled tarball for *offline first boot* is reasonable. Leaving that exact pin in `~/.config/mise/config.toml` forever is what creates the split.

**Not asking users to run** `mise upgrade --bump`. That is mise's generic hint, not an Omarchy command. Omarchy never calls `--bump`.
