Omarchy
ProbeLabsviewing a historical runA 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.
When the lock IPC handler receives a lock request and /etc/pam.d/omarchy-lock-password is missing, the lock service shall answer missing-pam.
Specification
The requirement exactly as authored — its complete prose text and, where present, the formal FRETish sentence it compiles to.
When the lock IPC handler receives a lock request and /etc/pam.d/omarchy-lock-password is missing, the lock service shall answer missing-pam. It shall not engage the session lock.
when lock_requested & !password_pam_configured the lock_service shall always satisfy lock_denied_missing_pam

Rationale & tags
Why this requirement exists, and how it is categorised.
A lock engaged without a password PAM stack can never authenticate. Refusing the lock is the only outcome that cannot strand the user.

Hazard review
- scenarioreviewedaccess_deniederror_handlingboundaryconcurrency_scale
Worst case: the lock engages without the password PAM stack, producing a session that can never authenticate and stranding the user at the lock screen. access_denied: the requirement is the denial itself, beginLock and the lock IPC verb both refuse to engage when the PAM config is absent. error_handling: a FileView load failure drives passwordPamConfigured false and into the refusal path. boundary: the present/absent threshold of /etc/pam.d/omarchy-lock-password is the trigger edge, re-evaluated live by watchChanges so a mid-session config removal flips the answer. Catalog 1.11.0 re-review: input_domain not applicable, it checks the presence of a PAM file and parses nothing. concurrency_scale applied, the lock IPC handler serves lock requests that can arrive back to back; each request while PAM is missing answers missing-pam and engages nothing.
- propertynot applicable
A refusal gate over one predicate; no algebraic, ordering, or repeated-application surface, and the once-only aspects of locking belong to WJYM.
- structuralnot applicable
QML boolean guard over a FileView state; no memory, encoding, or numeric surface.
- domainreviewedcontrol_not_silently_disabled
The lock control fails closed on its unmet precondition: a missing PAM stack is a reject path with a distinct missing-pam answer and a lock-denied journal event, never a skip path, and no alternate admission bypasses the check. lock-missing-pam-test.sh witnesses the denial.

Re-recorded after the MC/DC annotation campaign shifted lines (beginLock 164->168, lockIpc lock 712->725; mcdc:ignore inserts above). Read beginLock() and the lockIpc lock() verb: beginLock refuses when passwordPamConfigured is false - it logs lock-denied: missing-pam and returns false without engaging the session lock; the IPC verb answers missing-pam on the same config check before beginLock can run, so with PAM configured the denial arm is not taken and the failed arm is structurally dead (mcdc:ignore:defensive). Matches lock_denied_missing_pam under lock_requested & !password_pam_configured.

Lock IPC handler checks /etc/pam.d/omarchy-lock-password before engaging; on missing PAM it answers missing-pam and does not lock, matching lock_denied_missing_pam. When PAM is configured the denial branch is not taken — the antecedent !password_pam_configured gates exactly the code's config check.
