Search queries in daemon mode now run on a background thread via
DaemonHandle::query_async(). Results are posted back to the main
thread via glib::spawn_future_local + futures_channel::oneshot.
The GTK event loop is never blocked by IPC, eliminating perceived
input lag.
Local mode (dmenu) continues to use synchronous search since it
has no IPC overhead.
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 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
All crates (core, plugins, runtimes, plugin-api) now share the same
version number for simpler release management and clearer compatibility.
