Mount nearby shortcut and theme rows, preserve gallery keyboard navigation, reset page scrolling, and reuse native themes during palette transitions. Prepare and deduplicate live config reloads on a worker and apply only changed runtime sections.
Align pointer focus and overview selection on overlapping outputs, add regression coverage, and clean up workspace Clippy warnings.
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.
Share a stable damped oscillator solver across scalar and rectangle animations while preserving retarget and explicit no-crossing presentation policies. Add deterministic traces, scrolling and zoom continuity coverage, and pause-aware advancement.
Measure resize barrier and handoff timing behind resize-metrics, expose the feature through the release installer, and wait for the intended backend in isolated portal tests.
Cancel callback-only timers when a frame is submitted and defer callback delivery until retirement. Cover a delayed timer and missed presentation deadline in the scheduler tests.
Clean up shader argument borrows and shell region decoding to pass Clippy.
The Settings portal reads appearance exclusively from the compositor's
theme control socket and falls back to defaults when no compositor is
reachable, so the contract test could no longer assert appearance from an
on-disk KDL document.
Add a fixtures/theme_owner.py peer that speaks the theme IPC framing and
publishes schema-v2 snapshots, point the test at a private runtime socket,
and clear WAYLAND_DISPLAY and WAYLAND_SOCKET so the backend cannot reach a
host compositor. Assert the initial values, the SettingChanged payload
after a republish, and that ReadAll matches the published snapshot, then
confirm an invalid local document does not disturb portal-owned
appearance.
Detect wallpaper image formats from their contents so extensionless portal copies render on the desktop and lock screen. Preserve decode limits and cover extensionless files with regression tests.
Remove the Bluetooth icon from the status bar.
Use the September 30 hero on the website and README, add a shared screenshot gallery, and remove the old showcase images. Build image links locally and clean generated site output.
Back up the known development portal override during installation and report custom overrides before building. Keep source selections clear while letting blur show through unselected rows.
Resolve light, dark and automatic appearance centrally and publish live theme snapshots to native surfaces and the appearance portal. Add paired preset families, custom theme imports, accessibility transforms and contrast-safe transitions.
Refine the Settings gallery and Auto controls, move overrides under advanced customization, and share palette-aware switches and circular slider thumbs. Document configuration and include theme licenses and integration coverage.
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.
