Design for a Sway-style scratchpad built into niri as a pinned patch set +
niri-scratchpad PKGBUILD. Stores hidden windows in a global stash on Layout
rather than a named workspace, removing the +1 offset and multi-monitor bug.

Mod+M/Mod+Shift+M referenced an undeclared 'minimized' workspace and were silent no-ops. Declare the stash, add focus=false, and add the window-restore wofi picker.
The picker blocks on user input for however long they take. In that
window niri can destroy a dynamic workspace (its last window closed)
and renumber every later one down, so the pre-pick current["idx"] can
point at the wrong workspace by the time move-window-to-workspace
runs — restoring to the wrong place. The stashed window itself can
also have closed in the meantime, in which case the move/focus calls
would silently no-op. main() now re-reads workspaces/windows after
pick() returns, recomputes the current workspace, and confirms the
chosen window still exists before acting; each bails with a notify
and the documented exit code otherwise. Adds window_exists() as a
pure, tested helper alongside the existing pure functions.
Also: clarify the focus=false comment in niri/config.kdl (it read as
if focus=false caused the problem it actually prevents), and note in
the design doc's Out of scope section that the stash's index-1
pinning is per-output, so a second monitor would need its own
analysis of the Mod+1..9 offset.
Mod+M referenced an undeclared 'minimized' workspace, so it silently did
nothing. Declare it, add focus=false so focus does not follow the window
into the stash, and point Mod+Shift+M at the restore picker.
niri pins declared named workspaces to index 1 and will not move them, so
Mod+1..9 are offset by one.
Two tasks: window-restore.py + unit tests, then the niri config declaration,
bind rewiring and install.sh symlink. Script precedes config so Mod+Shift+M is
never wired to a missing script.
Plan code verified by extracting both blocks and running the test suite against
the script: 18/18 pass, and the step-2 failure mode is confirmed.

Mod+M and Mod+Shift+M reference a "minimized" named workspace that was never
declared, so both binds have always been silent no-ops. Design covers the
declaration plus a wofi restore picker.
Constraints verified against niri 26.04 in a nested instance: undeclared named
workspaces are no-ops, declared ones are pinned to index 1 and cannot be moved
(hence the +1 offset on Mod+1..9), and focus=false is required or focus follows
the window into the stash.

Only the H/J/K/L letters were bound, so Mod+Shift+Left and friends did
nothing. Add arrow equivalents next to the existing letter binds for both
focusing and moving; the letter binds are unchanged.

Two effects were hiding the volume slider:
- gamemode-session turns on mako's do-not-disturb mode, whose invisible=1
suppressed every notification, the OSD included.
- niri draws fullscreen windows above the top layer, mako's default, so the
OSD rendered underneath fullscreen windows even outside gamemode.
Tag the OSD with its own app name so mako can match it, then exempt just that
name: invisible=0 to survive DND, layer=overlay to clear fullscreen. The block
is listed after [mode=do-not-disturb] because later criteria win in mako.
Verified with DND active and a fullscreen window: the OSD shows, while another
app's notification under the same conditions stays suppressed.

Prevents a manually-launched watcher and the spawn-at-startup one from
racing the same winwatch source; the second instance exits immediately.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add scripts/gamemode-watch.py, launched at niri startup, which subscribes
to niri's event stream and toggles gamemode whenever a game window
(steam_app_*, RuneLite, gamescope) is open — so Steam games trigger
gamemode with zero per-game setup instead of needing gamemoderun %command%.
'winwatch' is a third reference-counted source alongside feral + manual.
Pure Watcher class is unit-tested; SIGTERM/finally guarantee cleanup so
the watcher stopping never leaves gamemode stuck on.

Adds the new gamemode wiring to the installer; also links mako/config,
which was never linked before (it used to be gitignored).

The eDP-1 panel has no VRR, so the three variable-refresh-rate rules
(including the incorrect is-focused=true one) were no-ops. Removed;
left a breadcrumb comment for a future external VRR monitor.

makoctl/fw-fanctrl echo confirmations to stdout that leaked into add/del
output during integration. run() now discards stdout, keeps stderr.

Un-ignore mako/config and bring it under dotfiles so the gamemode
do-not-disturb mode syncs across machines. [mode=do-not-disturb]
invisible=1 suppresses popups while retaining notification history.

Hybrid trigger (Feral gamemode hooks + Mod+G toggle), reference-counted
so overlapping sources apply once and revert once. Also removes three
dead VRR window-rules (panel has no VRR support).

Big Picture reuses the existing client window (title change only), so the
open-fullscreen rule never fires on toggle; unused, removing it.

Add window rules for the Steam client (app-id "steam"): all client
windows float and center, the main library window opens large (75x85%),
and notification toasts sit unobtrusively in the bottom-right without
border or focus-ring. Launched games (steam_app_) are unaffected.

Adds the hypridle entry to ARCHITECTURE, and folds in the pending
swww->awww wallpaper-tool rename in ARCHITECTURE + README (the repo spawns
awww-daemon, not swww).

Drops 'tray' from modules-right and its config block. Network and
bluetooth status remain as their own dedicated modules.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
hypridle pairs with hyprlock, honors idle inhibitors (video/calls no
longer blank or lock the screen), and is config-file driven. Same staging
as before: blank monitors @5m, lock @10m, suspend-then-hibernate @30m.
Locks via 'loginctl lock-session' so the before-sleep lock is deduplicated.

Theme centralization:
- theme/colors.json is now the single source of truth for the palette.
- New theme/generate-theme.py renders, at install time, the three derived
artifacts into ~/.config: colors.css (waybar/wofi @import), mako config,
and hyprlock-colors.conf (hyprlang $tn_* variables).
- theme/colors.css removed from the repo (now generated); install.sh calls
the generator instead of the old inline mako snippet.
- hyprlock.conf sources the generated color file and uses $tn_* variables
instead of hardcoded rgba() values.
- Generator covered by theme/test_generate_theme.py.
Bluetooth:
- Added waybar built-in bluetooth module (config.jsonc + style.css), with
bluez/bluez-utils in packages.txt.
Includes design spec and implementation plan under docs/superpowers/.

Adds /etc/pam.d/greetd to the TARGETS array so re-running
enable-fingerprint.sh extends fprintd auth to the regreet login
screen. Cold-boot timing and silent-touch UX caveats documented
in the spec are accepted as-is — fingerprint failure falls back to
password, no risk of lockout.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
hyprlock doesn't poll fprintd by default — pam_authenticate() is
only invoked on password submission. Adding the auth.fingerprint
block tells hyprlock to launch fprintd polling in parallel with the
password input, so touching the reader unlocks immediately without
typing first.

Final-review caveats:
- ARCHITECTURE.md hyprlock section was a generic one-liner inherited
from gtklock; now mentions fprintd integration + GPU + blur.
- hyprlock label blocks didn't set font_family; clock/date now
pinned to JetBrains Mono Nerd Font (same as rest of desktop).

Replace all gtklock mentions in README, ARCHITECTURE, CLAUDE.md with
hyprlock, and drop the stale gtklock consumer note from theme/colors.css
header comment (hyprlock uses Hyprlang, not CSS imports).

Adds hyprlock/hyprlock.conf with Tomorrow Night colors, replaces gtklock
with hyprlock in packages.txt, and updates install.sh to symlink
hyprlock.conf into ~/.config/hypr/ instead of the old gtklock symlinks.

Discovered while re-adding network-manager-applet that the
networkmanager daemon was already installed locally but never tracked
in packages.txt. Track it now so a fresh install gets both the daemon
and the applet, making the README's NetworkManager activation step
work end-to-end.

snixembed registered as the StatusNotifierWatcher but its
RegisterStatusNotifierItem implementation didn't accept SNI publishers
— Telegram, Vesktop, blueman-tray, and a libayatana-appindicator test
script all failed to register, leaving waybar's tray empty.
Removing snixembed lets waybar's tray module register itself as both
host AND watcher (when no other watcher exists). After this change,
all three SNI items registered immediately.
Trade-off: legacy XEmbed-based Wine tray icons no longer bridge to
SNI. The Wine System Tray host window rule is kept (still hides the
empty window off-screen) and the comment updated.
- niri/config.kdl: drop snixembed spawn-at-startup; update Wine rule
- packages.txt: drop snixembed (no longer used)
