+# Built-in Providers Migration — Design Spec
+
+## Goal
+
+Move calculator, converter, and system from external `.so` plugins (owlry-plugins repo) to native providers compiled into `owlry-core`. Remove 3 plugin AUR packages (transitional), 4 meta AUR packages (already deleted). Update READMEs for both repos.
+
+## Architecture
+
+The 3 plugins currently use the FFI plugin API (`PluginVTable`, `PluginItem`, etc.) and are loaded as `.so` files by `NativePluginLoader`. As built-in providers, they become native Rust modules inside `owlry-core/src/providers/` implementing the existing `Provider` trait — same as `ApplicationProvider` and `CommandProvider`.
+
+No changes to the plugin system itself. External plugins continue to work via `.so` loading.
+
+## Components
+
+### New modules in owlry-core
+
+- `providers/calculator.rs` — port of owlry-plugin-calculator (231 lines, depends on `meval`)
+- `providers/converter/mod.rs` — port of owlry-plugin-converter entry point
+- `providers/converter/parser.rs` — query parsing (235 lines, no new deps)
+- `providers/converter/units.rs` — unit definitions + conversion (944 lines, no new deps)
+- `providers/converter/currency.rs` — ECB rate fetching (313 lines, depends on `reqwest` blocking + `dirs` + `serde`)
+- `providers/system.rs` — port of owlry-plugin-system (257 lines, no new deps)
+
+### New owlry-core dependencies
+
+- `meval` — math expression evaluation (currently optional behind `lua` feature, make required)
+- `reqwest` with `blocking` feature — ECB currency rate fetching (currently optional behind `lua`, make required)
+- `dirs` — already a dependency
+- `serde`/`serde_json` — already dependencies
+
+### Modified files
+
+- `owlry-core/src/providers/mod.rs` — register the 3 new providers in `ProviderManager`, honor config toggles, classify calculator+converter as dynamic providers
+- `owlry-core/Cargo.toml` — move `meval` and `reqwest` from optional to required
+- `owlry-core/src/config/mod.rs` — add `converter` config toggle (calculator and system already exist)
+
+### Provider classification
+
+- Calculator → dynamic (queried per-keystroke via `query()`)
+- Converter → dynamic (queried per-keystroke via `query()`)
+- System → static (populated at `refresh()`, returns fixed list of actions)
+
+## Provider Type IDs
+
+Built-in providers use `ProviderType::Plugin(String)` with fixed IDs to maintain backward compatibility with the UI highlighting and filter system:
+
+- Calculator: `ProviderType::Plugin("calc".into())`
+- Converter: `ProviderType::Plugin("conv".into())`
+- System: `ProviderType::Plugin("sys".into())`
+
+This ensures the UI's highlighting logic (`matches!(id.as_str(), "calc" | "conv")`) and CSS badge classes (`.owlry-badge-calc`, `.owlry-badge-sys`) continue to work without changes.
+
+## Config
+
+Existing toggles in `[providers]`:
+
+```toml
+[providers]
+calculator = true   # already exists
+system = true       # already exists
+converter = true    # new — add with default true
+```
+
+When a toggle is false, the provider is not registered in `ProviderManager` at startup.
+
+## Currency Conversion
+
+The converter's currency feature uses `reqwest` (blocking) to fetch ECB exchange rates with a 24-hour file cache at `~/.cache/owlry/ecb_rates.json`. If the HTTP fetch fails (no network, timeout), currency conversion silently returns no results — unit conversion still works. This matches current plugin behavior.
+
+## AUR Changes
+
+### Main repo (owlry)
+
+- `aur/owlry-core/PKGBUILD` — bump version
+- Remove `aur/owlry-meta-*` directories (4 dirs, already deleted from AUR)
+
+### Plugins repo (owlry-plugins)
+
+- Remove crates: `owlry-plugin-calculator`, `owlry-plugin-converter`, `owlry-plugin-system`
+- Remove AUR dirs: `aur/owlry-plugin-calculator`, `aur/owlry-plugin-converter`, `aur/owlry-plugin-system` from tracked files
+- Push transitional PKGBUILDs to the 3 AUR repos:
+
+```bash
+pkgname=owlry-plugin-calculator  # (and converter, system)
+pkgver=<last_version>
+pkgrel=99
+pkgdesc="Transitional package — calculator is now built into owlry-core"
+arch=('any')
+depends=('owlry-core>=<new_version>')
+replaces=('owlry-plugin-calculator')
+# No source, no build, no package body
+```
+
+### Conflict prevention
+
+When owlry-core gains built-in calculator/converter/system, users who have the old `.so` plugins installed will have both the built-in provider AND the `.so` plugin active — duplicate results. The daemon should detect this: if a built-in provider ID matches a loaded native plugin ID, skip the native plugin. Add this check in `ProviderManager` when registering native plugins.
+
+## README Updates
+
+### Main repo README
+
+- Package table: remove separate plugin entries for calculator, converter, system — note them as built-in to owlry-core
+- Remove meta package section entirely
+- Update install examples (no need to install calculator/converter/system separately)
+
+### Plugins repo README
+
+- Remove calculator, converter, system from plugin listing
+- Add note that these 3 are built into owlry-core
+
+## Testing
+
+- Port existing plugin tests directly — they test provider logic, not FFI wrappers
+- `cargo test -p owlry-core --lib` covers all 3 new providers
+- Add conflict detection test (built-in provider ID vs native plugin ID)
+- Manual verification: `= 5+3` (calc), `20F` (conv), `20 euro to dollar` (currency), system actions

vikingowl	62f6e1d4b0	docs: update README for built-in providers migration Calculator, converter, and system are now built into owlry-core. Remove meta package references. Update install instructions and package tables.	2026-03-28 12:25:33 +01:00
vikingowl	bf1d759cb2	chore: remove retired meta package AUR dirs owlry-meta-essentials, owlry-meta-full, owlry-meta-tools, and owlry-meta-widgets have been deleted from AUR. Remove local dirs.	2026-03-28 12:24:27 +01:00
vikingowl	3f9f4bb112	feat(core): skip native plugins that conflict with built-in providers When users upgrade owlry-core but still have old .so plugins installed, the conflict detection skips the native plugin to prevent duplicate results.	2026-03-28 12:22:13 +01:00
vikingowl	c5f1f35167	feat(core): register built-in providers in ProviderManager Calculator and converter registered as built-in dynamic providers. System registered as built-in static provider. All gated by config toggles (calculator, converter, system — default true).	2026-03-28 12:19:12 +01:00
vikingowl	81626c33dd	feat(core): add built-in converter provider	2026-03-28 12:14:31 +01:00

vikingowl	8b4c704501	feat(core): add built-in calculator provider	2026-03-28 12:07:43 +01:00
vikingowl	27e296e333	feat(core): add DynamicProvider trait and builtin_dynamic support Foundation for built-in calculator, converter, and system providers. DynamicProvider trait for per-keystroke providers. ProviderManager iterates builtin_dynamic alongside native dynamic plugins in search.	2026-03-28 12:03:45 +01:00
vikingowl	173d72ad43	docs: add built-in providers migration implementation plan	2026-03-28 11:59:00 +01:00
vikingowl	3eea902c7f	docs: add built-in providers migration design spec	2026-03-28 11:52:58 +01:00
vikingowl	a12e850c94	fix(ui): remove periodic re-query that reset selection position The 5-second timer emitted 'changed' on the search entry in daemon mode, triggering a full re-query that rebuilt the result list and selected row 0 — jumping the user back to the top while browsing. Widget refresh is a daemon-side concern; the UI gets updated data on the next user-initiated search. Only keep the timer for local (dmenu) mode where the UI owns the providers directly.	2026-03-28 11:41:37 +01:00
vikingowl	eccfb217d4	chore(aur): update owlry 1.0.5, owlry-core 1.1.3	2026-03-28 11:35:57 +01:00
vikingowl	c3c35611fd	chore(owlry-core): bump version to 1.1.3	2026-03-28 11:35:23 +01:00
vikingowl	5ecd0a6412	chore(owlry): bump version to 1.0.5	2026-03-28 11:35:22 +01:00
vikingowl	6fe7213b6f	fix(core): group auto-detect plugin results together in ranking Calculator and converter results now get a 10k grouping bonus so all their results stay together above websearch/filesearch. Previously websearch (priority 9000) would interleave with converter results (9000, 8999, 8998...) since they had the same base priority.	2026-03-28 11:34:26 +01:00
vikingowl	b768bfd181	chore(ui): remove dead update_results method	2026-03-28 11:30:40 +01:00
vikingowl	c9a1ff28f4	fix(ui): only highlight calc and converter, not websearch/filesearch Websearch is a generic fallback — it always shows a result, so highlighting it adds no signal. Filesearch returns fuzzy matches, not auto-detected conversions. Only calc and conv produce direct answers that deserve highlighting.	2026-03-28 11:28:37 +01:00
vikingowl	623572ec14	fix: use git add -A in aur-publish-pkg	2026-03-28 11:20:57 +01:00
vikingowl	5196255594	chore(aur): update owlry 1.0.4, owlry-core 1.1.2	2026-03-28 11:19:05 +01:00
vikingowl	b87447156e	chore(owlry-core): bump version to 1.1.2	2026-03-28 11:18:27 +01:00
vikingowl	12d554959a	chore(owlry): bump version to 1.0.4	2026-03-28 11:18:26 +01:00
vikingowl	83fa22d84c	feat(ui): add result highlighting and remove window shadow Highlighting: - Dynamic plugin results (calculator, converter, websearch, filesearch) get a subtle accent left-border + background tint when auto-detected - Exact name matches (case-insensitive) are highlighted the same way - Exact match on apps gets a higher score boost (50k) than other providers (30k), so apps rank first when names match exactly Shadow: - Removed hardcoded box-shadow from all theme CSS files - Added --owlry-shadow variable in base.css (defaults to none) - Themes can opt into shadow via --owlry-shadow if desired CSS class: .owlry-result-highlight on ResultRow	2026-03-28 11:17:45 +01:00
vikingowl	ade5d3aeef	fix(ui): check icon theme exists on disk before fallback has_icon() returns true even for broken themes since it checks all search paths. Instead, verify the theme directory actually exists in the search path. Falls back to Adwaita only when the configured theme is genuinely missing from disk.	2026-03-28 11:08:01 +01:00
vikingowl	617c943147	fix: aur-stage glob handling for packages without .install files	2026-03-28 10:51:46 +01:00
vikingowl	1b1e12124b	chore(aur): update owlry PKGBUILD to 1.0.3	2026-03-28 10:49:57 +01:00
vikingowl	94556f1fe0	chore(owlry): bump version to 1.0.3	2026-03-28 10:48:55 +01:00
vikingowl	2b98f0651c	fix(ui): fall back to Adwaita when system icon theme is broken If the configured icon theme (e.g. Sweet-Blue) doesn't exist on disk, GTK falls back to hicolor which has almost no icons. Detect this by probing for a standard icon, and set Adwaita as the theme — it's guaranteed to exist as a GTK4 dependency. This replaces the broken add_search_path("/usr/share/icons/Adwaita") approach which doesn't work because search paths are scoped to the active theme name, not the directory name.	2026-03-28 10:48:39 +01:00
vikingowl	75fa770c94	chore: overhaul justfile for current deployment pipeline Key fixes: - aur-update-pkg uses correct per-crate tag URLs ({crate}-v{version}) - tag-crate creates per-crate tags instead of generic v{version} - aur-stage handles embedded .git dirs in AUR subdirectories - aur-commit stages all AUR files with .git workaround - release-crate does full pipeline: bump → push → tag → AUR update → publish - Removed stale release-core recipe that used wrong tag format	2026-03-28 10:31:32 +01:00
vikingowl	c6ba91f06d	fix(aur): restrict owlry-core check() to unit tests The integration test (server_test) loads native plugins which segfault in the clean makepkg build environment. Use --lib to run only unit tests.	2026-03-28 10:06:07 +01:00
vikingowl	235103e854	fix(aur): correct b2sums for owlry and owlry-core tarballs	2026-03-28 09:54:12 +01:00
vikingowl	8ccaaf28c8	docs: update README for client/daemon package split - Separate package tables for core, plugins, and meta bundles - Add owlry-plugin-converter to plugin list and meta-essentials - Fix build instructions: plugins are in owlry-plugins repo - Update plugin count to 14 - Remove dead link to gitignored CLAUDE.md	2026-03-28 09:51:29 +01:00
vikingowl	cfd143fe4a	chore: track AUR package files (PKGBUILD, .SRCINFO) The aur/ directory was entirely gitignored, preventing PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO files from being tracked. Fix .gitignore to only ignore build artifacts and nested .git dirs, matching the owlry-plugins repo convention.	2026-03-28 09:34:21 +01:00
vikingowl	10a685c62f	chore(owlry): bump version to 1.0.2	2026-03-28 09:16:40 +01:00
vikingowl	34db33c75f	chore(owlry-core): bump version to 1.1.1	2026-03-28 09:16:38 +01:00
vikingowl	4bff83b5e6	perf(ui): eliminate redundant results.clone() in search handlers The full results Vec was cloned into lazy_state.all_results and then separately consumed for current_results. Now we slice for current_results and move the original into lazy_state, avoiding one full Vec allocation per query.	2026-03-28 09:14:11 +01:00
vikingowl	8f7501038d	perf(ui): move search IPC off the GTK main thread 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.	2026-03-28 09:12:20 +01:00
vikingowl	4032205800	perf(ui): defer initial query to after window.present() update_results('') was called inside MainWindow::new(), blocking the window from appearing until the daemon responded. Move it to a glib::idle_add_local_once callback scheduled after present() so the window renders immediately.	2026-03-28 08:51:33 +01:00
vikingowl	99985c7f3b	perf(ui): use tracked count in scroll_to_row instead of child walk scroll_to_row walked all GTK children via first_child/next_sibling to count rows. The count is already available in LazyLoadState, so use that directly. Eliminates O(n) widget traversal per arrow key.	2026-03-28 08:48:52 +01:00
vikingowl	6113217f7b	perf(core): sample Utc::now() once per search instead of per-item get_score() called Utc::now() inside calculate_frecency() for every item in the search loop. Added get_score_at() that accepts a pre-sampled timestamp. Eliminates hundreds of unnecessary clock_gettime syscalls per keystroke.	2026-03-28 08:45:21 +01:00
vikingowl	558d415e12	perf(config): replace which subprocesses with in-process PATH scan detect_terminal() was spawning up to 17 'which' subprocesses sequentially on every startup. Replace with std::env::split_paths + is_file() check. Eliminates 200-500ms of fork+exec overhead on cold cache.	2026-03-28 08:40:22 +01:00
vikingowl	6bde1504b1	chore: add .worktrees/ to gitignore	2026-03-28 08:35:51 +01:00
