Watch ~/.config/owlry/plugins/ for changes using notify-debouncer-mini
(500ms debounce) and trigger a full runtime reload on file modifications.
Respects OWLRY_SKIP_RUNTIMES=1 to skip watcher in tests.
- Shrink Lua RuntimeInfo from 5 fields to 2 (name, version), matching
core and Rune. The mismatch caused SIGSEGV across the ABI boundary.
- Add owlry_version parameter to vtable init in all three crates
(core, Lua, Rune) so runtimes receive the version at init time
instead of hardcoding it.
- Remove unused Lua constants (RUNTIME_ID, RUNTIME_NAME, etc.) and
LUA_RUNTIME_API_VERSION.
- Update plugin_commands.rs call sites to pass CARGO_PKG_VERSION.
Replace Mutex with RwLock for ProviderManager and FrecencyStore in the
IPC server. Most request types (Query, Providers, Submenu, PluginAction)
only need read access and can now proceed concurrently. Only Launch
(frecency write) and Refresh (provider write) acquire exclusive locks.
Also adds a warn!() log for malformed JSON requests before sending the
error response, improving observability for debugging client issues.
Provider trait now requires Send + Sync to satisfy RwLock's Sync bound
on the inner type. RuntimeProvider and LuaProvider gain the
corresponding unsafe impl Sync.
Replace hardcoded list of 13 plugin IDs in ProviderFilter::all() with
an accept_all flag. When set, is_active()/is_enabled() return true for
any ProviderType, so dynamically loaded plugins are accepted without
maintaining a static list. Prefix-based filtering still narrows scope
as before, and from_mode_strings() still filters to explicit modes only.
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
