The UI now uses a SearchBackend abstraction that wraps either:
- CoreClient (daemon mode): connects to owlry-core via IPC for search,
frecency tracking, submenu queries, and plugin actions
- Local ProviderManager (dmenu mode): unchanged direct provider access
Key changes:
- New backend.rs with SearchBackend enum abstracting IPC vs local
- app.rs creates CoreClient in normal mode, falls back to local if
daemon unavailable
- main_window.rs uses SearchBackend instead of ProviderManager+FrecencyStore
- Command execution stays in the UI (daemon only tracks frecency)
- dmenu mode path is completely unchanged (no daemon involvement)
- Added terminal field to IPC ResultItem for proper terminal launch
- Added PluginAction IPC request for plugin command execution
Add [[bin]] target and main.rs that starts the IPC server with
env_logger, socket path from XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, and graceful shutdown
via ctrlc signal handler. Also add socket_path() to paths module.
Adds Server struct that listens on a Unix domain socket, accepts
client connections (thread-per-client), reads newline-delimited JSON
requests, dispatches to ProviderManager/FrecencyStore/Config, and
sends JSON responses back. Includes stale socket cleanup and Drop
impl for socket removal.
Add methods needed by the IPC server (Task 9) to create filters from
mode strings, query provider metadata, and refresh individual providers.
ProviderFilter:
- from_mode_strings(): create filter from ["app", "cmd", "calc"] etc.
- all(): create permissive filter accepting all provider types
- mode_string_to_provider_type(): public helper for string-to-type mapping
ProviderManager:
- ProviderDescriptor struct for IPC provider metadata responses
- available_providers() -> Vec<ProviderDescriptor> (replaces ProviderType version)
- refresh_provider(id): refresh a single provider by type_id
- new_with_config(config): self-contained init for daemon use
NativeProvider:
- icon(): get provider's default icon name
- position_str(): get position as "normal"/"widget" string
- Add owlry-core dependency to owlry Cargo.toml
- Remove dependencies from owlry that moved to owlry-core:
fuzzy-matcher, freedesktop-desktop-entry, libloading, notify-rust,
thiserror, mlua, meval, reqwest
- Forward feature flags (dev-logging, lua) to owlry-core
- Update all imports in owlry source files to use owlry_core::
for moved modules (config, data, filter, providers, plugins,
notify, paths)
- Delete original source files from owlry that were moved
- Create minimal providers/mod.rs that only re-exports DmenuProvider
- Move plugins/commands.rs to plugin_commands.rs (stays in owlry
since it depends on CLI types from clap)
- Restructure app.rs to build core providers externally and pass
them to ProviderManager::new() instead of using the old
with_native_plugins() constructor
