Add owlry-core.service (Type=simple, restart-on-failure) and
owlry-core.socket (listening on $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/owlry/owlry.sock)
for socket-activated daemon deployment.
Add ProfileConfig struct and profiles map to Config, allowing named
mode presets in config.toml (e.g. [profiles.dev] modes = ["app","cmd"]).
Remove the --providers/-p CLI flag and repurpose -p as the short form
for --prompt. Add --profile flag that loads modes from a named profile.
Mode resolution priority: --mode > --profile > config defaults.
Use a flock-based lock file at $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/owlry/owlry-ui.lock
to detect when another owlry UI instance is already running. If the
lock is held, send a Toggle IPC command to the daemon and exit
immediately instead of opening a second window.
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 CoreClient struct that connects to the owlry-core daemon Unix socket
and provides typed methods for query, launch, providers, toggle, and
submenu operations. Reuses owlry_core::paths::socket_path() as the
single source of truth for the socket location. Includes connect_or_start()
with systemd integration and exponential backoff retry logic.
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
- Clarify that dmenu outputs to stdout (doesn't execute)
- Add screenshot menu example with | sh pattern
- Use printf instead of echo -e for POSIX compliance
- Add xdg-open example for opening files
- Use shorter -p flag instead of --prompt
- Replace complex auto-detection with explicit use_uwsm config option
- Remove detect_launch_wrapper() function and hyprctl/uwsm auto-detection
- Use gio launch as default (always available via GTK4's glib2 dependency)
- When use_uwsm=true, launch via uwsm app -- for systemd session integration
- Add error handling for when uwsm is enabled but not installed
- Update documentation in README.md, CLAUDE.md, and config.example.toml
- Add Keywords field from desktop files to searchable tags
(fixes apps like Nautilus not found when searching by legacy name)
- Respect XDG_DATA_DIRS with proper fallbacks for app directories
- Add Flatpak, Snap, and Nix application directory support
- Simplify desktop file launch to use gio directly (guaranteed by GTK4)
- Add desktop notifications for launch failures
- Check desktop file existence before launch attempt
dmenu mode was incorrectly trying to execute the selected item
as a command (via hyprctl/sh). Now it properly prints the
selection to stdout, enabling standard dmenu piping workflows
like: git branch | owlry -m dmenu | xargs git checkout
Static native plugins (systemd, clipboard, etc.) were being boxed as
Box<dyn Provider>, which lost access to the query() method needed for
submenu support. The Provider trait only has refresh() and items().
Add static_native_providers field to keep static native plugins as
NativeProvider instances, preserving their query() method. Update all
search methods and query_submenu_actions() to include this new list.
Fixes systemd plugin submenu not showing actions when selecting a service.
