Add named keyboard shortcut maps with an Escape exit and a panel indicator. Keep press/release ownership across transitions, validate remapped Escape keys, and cancel stale repeats and focus previews.
Give the indicator ownership of the panel while a mode is active. Close popovers, collapse Morph, and keep Live Activities data current without resizing the hidden panel. Document configuration and transition behavior.
Validation: 1,519 workspace Rust tests passed; 70 Python tests passed. Workspace build, formatting, Clippy, and Settings configuration validation passed. Opt-in native desktop checks were not rerun because Weston is absent.

Open the four display modes from XF86Display or the external-monitor bar icon. Reuse output reconciliation and confirmation for manual layout changes, and notify the shell when monitor state changes.
Release backdrop locks before render-element queries to prevent blurred popups from freezing the compositor. Cover popup open, update and close with regression tests.
Share translucent card styles between display modes and capture sources, show focus rings during keyboard navigation, and align picker buttons, label sizing and footer spacing with system modals.
Instrument redraw sources, per-output request coalescing, and animation fallback scheduling. Route local visual changes to their affected outputs while preserving deferred grab and gesture updates.
Schedule fallback recovery using each orphaned animation output's refresh interval, suppress it while a normal frame chain exists, and retain requested final frames after scheduling failures. Add mixed-refresh, cursor footprint, frame-chain, and disconnect regressions and document measurement limits.
Add adjustable lock-only inactivity delays, a smooth dimming fade and DRM display sleep without changing output layout. Input, session resume and policy changes wake displays. Pending flips retire before power-off, and protected fallback frames preserve the policy after an early locker crash while unlock ownership checks remain strict.
Reduce the password field and avatar, expose delays in Settings, document the practical swaylock comparison and remove the completed backlog.
Validation: independent review cleared; 255 compositor tests, 7 locker tests and 15 Settings tests pass; affected debug binaries rebuilt. Isolated visual smoke remains blocked by an unlocked nested screenshot timeout, matching the previously established baseline presentation limitation. Real DRM display sleep requires a live session check.
Add consent, zones and outside-edge barriers, connection-scoped leases, bounded input queues and keyboard/pointer forwarding. Restore local input on release, locking, topology or keymap changes, receiver loss and emergency escape. Preserve held-key state and distinguish finger stops from absent scroll axes.
Validation: independent review cleared; 5 native InputCapture unit tests; 32 portal tests; official D-Bus contract checks on a private bus; real installed libei receiver interoperability test. Live physical barrier and consent interaction remain to be checked in a desktop session.
visual_scale_for_window returns 1.0 whenever Overview is not
presenting, so gate the window_under_visual walk behind
is_presenting() and read the scale straight from the constant.
Use hash_map::Entry for the window geometry insert so client_size is
only computed on the vacant path, and reuse the elapsed time already
sampled for the frame in expire_wait and presentation_size_request
instead of calling start_time.elapsed() a second time.
Keep notification actions and dismiss controls visible, compact and animate history, and add themed icon controls and grouping.
Include notification settings, session integration and documentation, on-demand workspaces, and performance baseline notes.
Render a tinted, scrollable workspace strip with live thumbnails, output-scaled font labels and a subtle selected-workspace outline. Keep the window grid background-free and support workspace selection without exiting overview.
Animate strip opacity independently with precise fade tolerances and continuous reversal, and expose toggle-overview through feresectl.
