Left group keeps the where-am-I identity (host, path, git, pr); the right
cluster carries what's-running (model) plus cost and elapsed time, painted
in array order. context_pct verified to hoist into the inline meter spacer
regardless of array position. Docs + changelog updated.
Band merges the segment groups into one row above the editor and paints
the labeled inline context meter (60% - 200K); the session title rides
the working row. Cumulative token totals live in /session - off the bar.
Docs and changelog updated to the band final state.
stripWorkPrefix true: worktree sessions show projectName/worktreeName with
the worktree glyph instead of the on-disk cwd; matches the live bar tuned
and screenshot-approved 2026-10-18.
Named presets silently ignore leftSegments/rightSegments - the nerd
preset's baked arrays were what we saw, and the configured arrays were
dead. preset: custom with explicit arrays: chip (right) = token_in,
token_out, cost, context_pct, time_spent; strip (left) = session_name,
vim, mode, hostname, model, path, git (branch text off - worktree
branches are autogenerated; dirty badges kept), pr. Cut tok/s duplicate,
clock, cache trio, context_total, subagents, session hash. Composer
shape stays claude after live box/band/rule trials. models.yml display
name frank-archon drops the (dankserver) suffix; id untouched.
Docs: pi/statusline.md records the preset-vs-custom trap, shape->segment
routing, and the context-meter truth.
Mod+R now cycles 1/4 <-> 1/2 only, matching the quarter-based
preset-window-heights; verified live (840px quarter / 1696px half on the
3440px panel). Mod+F still maximizes a column.
- set-column-width / set-window-height nudges 10% -> 5% (Mod+-/= and
Mod+Shift+-/=).
- New preset-window-heights { 1/4, 1/2 } in layout.kdl; Mod+Ctrl+Shift+R
no longer falls back to the width-preset ladder.
- Mod+Ctrl+Left/Right (and H/L) retargeted swap-window-* ->
consume-or-expel-window-*, matching Mod+brackets; swap-window now unbound.
Validated with niri validate; live via hot-reload.
Live census 2026-10-14: every flameshot mode on this box captures via
xdg-desktop-portal-gnome → niri's single-output API (niri#4313) — full
AND screen hang ~15 s and error docked (verified: exit 124, no file).
Replace all six flameshot binds with niri-native equivalents:
all-monitors script (Print/Ctrl+Shift+1/Mod+Shift+S), screenshot-screen
(Alt+Print/Ctrl+Shift+2), interactive screenshot UI (Ctrl+Print/
Ctrl+Shift+3). Absolute script paths everywhere: niri's spawn-sh PATH
is system-only, ~/.local/bin absent — the bare screenshot-desk.sh and
desk.sh binds were silently dead. bats 27/27.
flameshot full dies docked: its portal path hits niri's
screenshot_all_outputs ensure!(outputs.len()==1) (upstream niri#4313,
niri 26.04), so every Print press on the home desk produces error
bubbles. niri's built-in screenshot UI selects only one output, so add
scripts/screenshot-desk.sh: per-monitor focus + screenshot-screen with
explicit --path, focus restored, one PNG per monitor in
~/Pictures/Screenshots. Bind Mod+Shift+S (Frank's call); noctalia
settings moves to Mod+Shift+O. Restore screenshot-path (was null, now
root-level as config.screenshot_path requires) for UI saves. Live-
verified docked: valid 1920x1080 PNGs for eDP-1 + DP-2, focus restored;
bats 27/27 incl. niri validate on both desk profiles.
learned.md: noctalia v5 bar layering + hot-reload loop; secret-gate self-match convention (quoted literals redacted per the convention the line itself states); niri 26.04 event-stream has no hotplug event. New managed skills: git-repo-secret-audit, omp-system-prompt-retrieval.
Imports the Git Workflow / Testing law from dank/serverAppConfigs: pull+clean tree, atomic early commits, bats+secret gate as commit precondition, push on green, imperative messages with Refs #N.
Bar start = launcher, wallpaper, workspaces, taskbar; center keeps only the cat plugin widget. settings.toml is the GUI-override layer, symlinked from this repo.
live store wired 2026-10-09: provider custom -> frank-secondary @
192.168.0.143:7771, prompt default_improve_transcriptions,
post_process on, self-autostart off (niri owns it)
- desk.sh: list/current/switch/cycle/match/capture over cfg/desk-*.kdl
profiles; apply = relink display.kdl, niri validate (rollback on fail),
load-config-file, noctalia notification; match scores // requires: lines
(EDID long names) against live niri msg outputs
- desk-autoswitch.sh: watch niri msg --json event-stream for
OutputsChanged, debounced desk.sh match --apply, reconnect loop
- blankpad-desk-autoswitch.service: ConditionHost=blankpad user unit
- gen-keybinds.sh: keybinds.kdl -> markdown cheat sheet (sections from
// --- headers, hotkey-overlay-title preferred over action)
- tests/: 27 bats cases, all green (desk 16, gen-keybinds 6,
niri-config 5 incl. real niri validate on the assembled tree with
each desk profile active)
Five layers: live-value match across all 77 revs / 765 reachable blobs; the whole
object store including the 2 dangling blobs (one synthetic sk-shaped fixture,
never committed on any ref); 21 provider shapes with every hit triaged; an
entropy scan of HEAD; all 23 git-lfs payloads (81 MiB) scanned as bytes.
Gate gap noted: hf_/npm_/pypi-/AIza/basic-auth-URL shapes are absent from
.githooks/pre-commit. Quoting the fixture literal in this commit message was
rejected by the gate, so it is described instead.
Also chmod 600 ~/.config/secrets/hf_token_write (was world-readable).
git 2.56 credential-store parses one URL per line (port included), not the
key=value block shape the man page shows for ~/.git-credentials; a block-format
file yields a silent empty get and git dies at askpass.
Captured from this session's cutover: reference-grep list, the YAML
cross-check regex (the provider label contains a space and parentheses, so a
whitespace split yields false unresolved hits), the per-endpoint 4-token probe
that proves a harness-side id rename is wire-safe, the fit check against the
served window, and the commit shape.
New tools/gitea/client-access.md: the credential file (~/.config/secrets/gitea,
0600) behind a global 'store --file' helper, the git 2.56 credential-store trap
(the key=value block shape parses to an empty get; the file must be one
http://user:token@host:port URL per line), the GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0
verification loop, the lfs.locksverify key that silences the URL echo, and the
rotation procedure. Cross-linked from the gitea index and management pages.
Both workstation remotes are now bare URLs; the token lives in one file.
Callsign renames verified against the live endpoints (all three accept the
new request ids and return reasoning_content), compaction endpoint moved and
22 model references checked for integrity, runtime scratch quarantined in
.gitignore, skill libraries shown to be renames with history intact at
12c5e88.
The managed-skill library was regenerated: 94 narrow per-incident skills
replaced by 25 broader ones (radiance-*, llamacpp-*, homepage-*, fleet/
endpoint ops). Git renders this as mass delete + mass add because whole
directories changed name; old content stays in history at 12c5e88.
Surface check: the 25 on disk are exactly the skills the harness advertises
this session.
DP-2: transform 90 -> normal with mode 3440x1440@239.999 pinned, moved
(0,0) -> (1581,-600). HDMI-A-1: transform 270 -> 90 (portrait kept, top bezel
now on the left). eDP-1 re-pinned (2400,840) -> (5021,-240) to sit rightmost.
All three positions stay pinned so niri's auto-layout cannot reflow them.
frank-medium -> frank-archon (dankserver), frank-large -> frank-dragoon
(dankclaw-gpu), frank-small -> frank-zealot (dankclaw-3090). The Dankclaw
service/unit names keep the old frank-large spelling; only the OMP model ids
move, per the comments at each entry.
Windows refit to the served context minus the compaction headroom:
archon 196608 -> 200000 ctx, 32768 -> 16384 maxTokens
dragoon 200192 -> 217088 ctx, 57344 -> 45056 maxTokens, input +image
zealot 262144 -> 200704 ctx, 32768 -> 16384 maxTokens
All three now carry compactionModel frank-zealot, reasoningContentField
reasoning_content, and Qwen-recommended sampling in compat.extraBody
(merged last, so it beats the global -1 sampler settings).
autoresearch/ runs, agent/predict/ ngram models, local/ artifact dumps, wt/
worktrees and memories/--home-blank-.omp-wt-* buckets are runtime state keyed
on ephemeral paths; none were tracked, so the rules are purely additive.
Finishes the purge. These two surfaces were left out of the earlier commit
because the memory store is auto-generated, but both are read back into every
future session, so the name was still reaching the agent.
58 sites across 16 files: hostname, both LAN addresses, the SSID. Special-cased
the compound names a blind token swap breaks ('dank@the workstation/dankclaw',
'on the workstation/Dankclaw/Dankserver') and reworded the four that came out
ungrammatical. Facts kept: the hardware inventory of the box, the noctalia
architecture history, and today's own purge lessons all survive intact — only
the identifiers are gone.
Non-memory: the tracked .pre-pull-backup snapshot of a managed skill, whose
live counterpart was already clean.
