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 fast signature (directory path + mtime per image dir) matches, the script serves cached rows without rescanning image files.
Specification
The requirement exactly as authored — its complete prose text and, where present, the formal FRETish sentence it compiles to.
When the fast signature (directory path + mtime per image dir) matches, the script serves cached rows without rescanning image files.

Hazard review
- scenarioreviewedboundaryedge_caseconcurrent
Worst case: rows served from cache describe image files that no longer exist or have changed - a user picks an entry whose target was deleted or renamed under a preserved mtime. The fast signature (dir path + dir mtime) gates reuse; a lost fast-signature file falls back to the per-image size:mtime full compare, which vouches for the same rows without a rebuild. boundary: missing rows cache, missing fast signature, empty image dir, and the v3->v4 schema bump are the tested partition edges. edge_case: an edit that preserves both size and mtime slips past both signatures - the honest residual of mtime-based coherence, graded low because the actor is the same user and the cost is a stale picker row, not a wrong write. concurrent: two selectors opening the same cache must not interleave a half-written rows file with its signature - rows and signatures publish together under the cache lock, and the concurrent-runs scenario is witnessed.
- propertyreviewedidempotency
A reuse run over unchanged dirs is observably identical to the previous run - same rows, no thumbnail regeneration, no signature rewrite; the vipsthumbnail-spy witness proves the second run performs no rebuild. Determinism of the signature string (fixed stat format, sorted find order) is what makes the cmp gate sound.
- structuralnot applicable
Bash stat/cmp string building over trusted cache-path components; no arithmetic beyond line counts, no encoding transform, no memory surface. The one stat-race (file vanishing between find and stat) is dispositioned in the code as a bare continue with a tooling-limit record.
- domainreviewedcache_version_coherent
The rows cache is version-dependent data: the signature files carry explicit schema versions (v4 full, v3 fast) that the witness asserts on the first line, so a stale-schema cache cannot be served after the row format changes - the generation-gated lookup this class demands is implemented, not just claimed. Worst case it closes: an old-format cache left by a previous release silently parsed as new rows, mislabeling or mislaunching every image entry.

Read omarchy-menu-images and menu-images-test.sh. The script computes a fast signature (directory path + mtime per image dir) and the reuse branch loads the cached rows file before any rebuild path when the signature matches; rows and signatures publish together under one lock. The dirs_unchanged condition models the signature-compare branch; no silent precondition. Formula conforms to the code.

Obligations
What this requirement must witness to be considered satisfied — the required evidence, and the tests that discharge each one.
The tests that discharge each obligation aren't available for a historical run
The evidence matrix behind each obligation comes from the live audit index, which can't be rebuilt for a past commit. Nothing here means unknown — not that the requirement has no obligations.
Code signals
Static-analysis signals from external scanners that bear on this requirement's obligations — the source location, the obligation each touches, and its closure status.

Each row assigns the formula's conditions (T/F) and shows the Result— the formula's value for that input row, not a test pass/fail. A row proves a condition when flipping only that condition flips the outcome. The test that covers each row is linked.
