AI pill: several Ollama servers (pills.ai.servers, comma-separated, in order): the model list shows all their models, a question goes to the first server that has the chosen one; a local ollama is started only when no other server has it

Config window: keys typed with no field selected, as right after opening it, go into the search
Performance: surfaces, the candle ring and the equalizer curve as shaders, the pill's bars as quads; tools/perf.sh

 # AGENTS.md

-Notes for agents continuing work on the Magic Island shell. Read README.md first for what it does and how it's laid out.
+Handoff for agents continuing work on the Magic Island shell (Hermes, Claude Code, Codex, a new session). Read README.md first for what the shell does and how to use it; this file is how it's built, how to work on it, and where things stand. Last updated 2026-10-15.
+
+## Where things are
+
+- **This repo:** `/root/amane-config` on the dev host; remote `git@server1:fabolous005/amane-config.git`.
+- **Amane library:** `/root/amane` (docs in `docs/src/*.md`). The desktop builds against its own, different copy at `~/git/amane`; type-check against a copy of that one (see Develop).
+- **Hermes skill `amane`** (`~/.hermes/skills/software-development/amane/`): distilled Amane docs plus lessons. `references/recipe-media-island.md` and `references/remote-visual-testing.md` cover this project; `scripts/` holds copies of `tools/` (keep them in sync).
+- **Desktop:** `ssh -o BatchMode=yes fabian@192.168.2.169`. Hyprland 0.56.2 with a **Lua** config (`~/.config/hypr/*.lua`; API stubs in `/usr/share/hypr/stubs/hl.meta.lua`). Intel Xe iGPU (Raptor Lake) plus an eGPU (RX 6600). Monitors: eDP-1 1920×1200 at 1920,620; HDMI-A-1 1920×1080 at 0,620; DP-2 1920×1080 at 3840,0; HDMI-A-4 at 5760,0 only when connected. `~/.config/amane` on the desktop is a git checkout of this repo.
+- **Desktop daemons the shell uses:** OpenRC services `iwd`, `bluetooth`, `openvpn.<name>`, `ollama` (stopped by default; `gemma4:e4b`, listens on 0.0.0.0:11434, runs on the eGPU); doas rule `permit nopass fabian` for `rc-service`, `sh` and `cat`; gnome-keyring as the Secret Service (`secret-tool`); `wl-copy`, `ip`, `lspci`, `ghostty`, `btm`. iwd and bluetoothd are often stopped; the shell then greys their tiles.

 ## Ground rules from the user

- **Branch per big change, and ask before merging.** Create a new branch for each big change, show the result, and merge into `master` only after the user explicitly approves. Small follow-ups the user asks for in the same breath can go on the same branch.
- **Never touch the user's real players' sound.** Cider and Firefox are real; their volume, equalizer and output are the user's. Before any `island preset|output` call or volume change, run `amane ipc call island status` and make sure `player=` is a fake test player. Test audio goes to inaudible null sinks (see Testing).
- **The desktop is reached only by `ssh -o BatchMode=yes fabian@192.168.2.169`** (Hyprland, Intel iGPU, monitors DP-2 and eDP-1). Don't probe the network, SSH keys or other hosts; if SSH fails, report it and wait.
- **Leave the desktop clean:** stop fake players and null sinks after testing, and restart the shell without frame logging (see "After testing").
- Be honest in summaries about what was and wasn't checked on the real desktop.
+- **Branch per big change, ask before merging.** Merge into `master` only after explicit approval. "In main branch" or "merge directly to main" means commit straight to master. Small follow-ups in the same request can share a branch. **Push only when the user asks.**
+- **Never touch the user's real players' sound** (Cider, Firefox). Before any `island preset|output` call or volume change, check `amane ipc call island status` names a fake test player. Test audio goes to the inaudible null sinks.
+- **The user's own amane:** their session starts one at login. Don't kill it without asking; `tools/amane-remote.sh start` refuses when it finds a shell it didn't start.
+- **Desktop access is SSH only.** Don't probe the network, SSH keys or other hosts. If SSH fails, report it and wait. The user may be at the desktop while you test: if workspaces change or cards close by themselves, stop the on-screen tests.
+- **Leave the desktop clean** after testing: fake players and null sinks stopped, shell running without the frame log (see "After testing").
+- **Edit files with the patch/write tools, not scripts that rewrite files.** The user installs missing tools themselves. Scripts take instance values (hosts, names) as arguments.
+- **No hardcoded tuning values:** every size, timing, text size, colour or interval is a setting in `config.rs` (see Settings).
+- **Blur strength is Hyprland's only** (`decoration.blur.*`; the user keeps size 1 and the layer rule's `ignore_alpha = 0.5`). The shell never sets it.
+- **D-Bus mostly for reading status.** Actions go through the CLIs: `iwctl`, `bluetoothctl` (a D-Bus agent version was reverted, `afe963d`). The shell serves only what the user chose: `org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher` (tray) and `org.freedesktop.Notifications` (Amane's own server; dunst is commented out in `~/.config/hypr/autocmds.lua`, backup `autocmds.lua.before-amane-notifications`). Ask before serving anything else.
+- **Never wake iwd by accident:** any D-Bus call to `net.connman.iwd` starts it. Check `NameHasOwner` first.
+- **Root only through `doas -n` with fixed command lines.** Strings from other programs go to `Command` args, never into `amane::spawn`/`output` (`sh -c`). Secrets go on stdin: `wl-copy`, `secret-tool store`, curl's `-K -` for the calendar. Never put a password in a file, an argument or a log.
+- **Local AI only:** the AI card talks to Ollama on the desktop, never a cloud service. Phone stats are out for now.
+- Edits to AGENTS.md prompt for approval (`security.protected_instruction_files`); a timed-out prompt is a no: don't retry by another path. Keep this file near 20k characters, Hermes's load limit.
+- Report honestly what was and wasn't checked on the real desktop.
+
+## Current state
+
+**master** (pushed): the island (pill, card, CD ring, EQ, output and player switching, hover animations), an idle pill without players, one island per monitor (live bars only on the focused one), a workspace pill per monitor, wallpaper colours through matugen, and:
+
+- **Control centre** (top right): status pill opening a panel with tiles (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, VPN, Hotspot, Ethernet), volume, brightness, keyboard light, performance mode, eGPU programs, Settings (gear). The panel morphs into its menus as one shape: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth maps, VPN list, sound outputs, Ethernet details. Popups (`magic-prompt`) ask for passwords, PINs and passkeys.
+- **System tray** right of the workspace pill.
+- **Bar hiding** only on monitors showing a fullscreen window; the top edge brings it back. Peeks: the workspace pill on a workspace change; the island on a song change or new player, but not when the focused window's class is the playing player (`parse::same_app`).
+- **Workspaces:** a removed empty workspace's slot shrinks and fades during the slide; a created one (`createworkspacev2`) grows in.
+- **Reserved space:** windows that aren't fullscreen stay below the bar (44 px).
+- **Settings:** `~/.config/amane/config.toml` holds every shell setting with its help; the config window edits them plus every Hyprland option. Saves are serialised by `config::WRITTEN`, and the file watch skips the shell's own saves (an earlier race reset settings to defaults).
+- **Glass designs:** `appearance.surface.design` = solid / frosted / liquid, drawn by `surface::shell()` on every surface. The user keeps all three and may want more. The old branches `glass-base`, `design-frosted`, `design-liquid` (also on origin) are superseded; deleting them was asked, no answer.
+
+**Branch `side-pills`** (pushed, not merged; the user tries it first): two one-icon pills left of the island (AI, System) and two right (Home, Notifications); see Architecture and README "Side pills".
+
+**On the desktop:** the agent-started shell (pid in `~/.cache/amane-remote-test/shell.pid`, stderr in `shell.err`) runs the `side-pills` build; the user's login shell was stopped with their approval. `config.toml` has `pills.ai.model = gemma4:e4b`, design frosted at 0.7. `~/.config/hypr/hyprland.lua` did not `require("amane")` (checked 2026-10-15), so Hyprland options set in the window are lost on a reload; the user was told.
+
+**Theme pipeline:** Skwd-wall v2's matugen integration renders `~/.config/amane/matugen/amane.colors` into `~/.config/amane/theme`.

 ## Constraints of Amane itself

- The shell can only depend on `amane` and the Rust standard library: `amane compile` generates `Cargo.toml` and no other crates can be added. External tools run as processes (`std::process::Command`, `amane::output`).
- Amane docs: `/root/amane/docs/src/*.md` on the dev host; library source in `/root/amane/src/`.
- Amane redraws the whole window every frame, so every effect in the view is paid at the frame rate.
+- Only `amane` and the Rust standard library: `amane compile` generates `Cargo.toml`, so no crates. External tools run as processes (`Command`, `amane::output`); HTTP is curl.
+- Amane redraws the whole window every frame, so every effect is paid at the frame rate.
+- Amane can only blur what the shell draws itself; frosting the desktop behind it needs a Hyprland layer rule.
+- `amane compile` saves `~/.cache/amane/amane-shell`; `amane run` starts it.

 ## Architecture

 | Piece | Kind | Job |
 |---|---|---|
-| `island.rs` `Island` | input-only Service | `open: Animation` (0 pill, 1 card), `expanded`, `selected` player (bus name, `None` follows the playing one), open dropdown, time-bar scrub. Also the view and the `island` IPC handler (`command`). |
-| `sound.rs` `Sound` | Service, 1 s poll | `pactl list sinks` + `sink-inputs` → each player's streams (matched by process ancestry, then app name), volume, mute, output, equalizer. Curves saved by player identity to `~/.config/amane/island-eq`. |
-| `spectrum.rs` `Spectrum` | Service, 200 ms check | While the shown player plays: `pw-record --target <its stream> \| cava -p $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/magic-island/cava.conf` → 24 levels. Stops when it pauses. |
-| `art.rs` `Art` | Service, 250 ms poll | Cover URL → local file (curl for https), copied to `palette-cover`, which `Palette` (opened in `main.rs`, 8 colours) watches. |
-| `parse.rs` | plain functions, no amane | pactl/cava/proc parsing, filter-chain config, `pw-cli` params, EQ store, middle ellipsis. Unit-tested on its own. |
-| `workspaces.rs` | view + input-only `Hover` Service | Workspace pill per monitor (namespace `magic-workspaces`, top left): `Workspaces` filtered by `output() == monitor.name`, special workspaces skipped, click = `Workspaces::focus(id)`. Reuses the island's `pub` colours, `backdrop()` and `HOVER_MS`. Redraws only on Hyprland events and hover. |
+| `config.rs` | settings | Every setting declared once in `settings! { part { group { name: type = default, range [choices]; "help" } } }`: a typed accessor plus an `OPTIONS` entry for the window. `load()`/`save()` of `config.toml`, `set`/`reset`; `[hyprland.*]` tables hold Hyprland overrides. |
+| `settings.rs` | view, normal `Window` | The config window: a page per part and per Hyprland category, search, a row per setting (switch, slider + field, text with swatch, chips), reset per row. Esc closes. `config` IPC. |
+| `hypr.rs` `Hypr` | Service, worker | Hyprland's options from `hyprctl descriptions -j` and one `--batch` of `j/getoption`. `set`/`reset` apply with `hl.config`, rewrite `~/.config/hypr/amane.lua` and `config.toml`. |
+| `surface.rs` | widget function | `shell(w, h, radius, colors, lift, content)`: the chosen glass design for every surface. |
+| `island.rs` `Island` | input-only Service | The island: `open: Animation`, player selection, menus, scrub, hover spots, `width_on(monitor)` (for the pods), `island` IPC. `expand()` closes a pod card. |
+| `pods.rs` `Pods` | view + input-only Service | Side pills: windows `magic-pods-left|right` per monitor beside the island, moving out as it opens; a pill morphs into its card (one timeline, `pills.layout.open_ms`). One card open across the shell. `header`, `chip`, `button`, `rule` helpers for the cards. `pods` IPC (`open|toggle <pod> [monitor]`, `close`, `ask`, `processes`, `notices …`, `status`). |
+| `ai.rs` `Ai` | Service | Ollama `/api/chat` via curl, streamed line by line (`parse::Chunk`); starts `ollama` via doas when it doesn't answer. Stop and New chat bump `round`, so a late line from an old answer is dropped. |
+| `stats.rs` `Stats` | Service, thread | CPU (`/proc/stat`), GPU clock (xe/i915 sysfs), memory, network, disk sectors of physical disks, hottest sensor per hwmon. All graphs in one canvas. Processes runs `ghostty --class=amane.monitor -e btm` via `hl.exec_cmd` on `special:monitor`, then toggles it. |
+| `home.rs` `Clock`, `Forecast`, `Agenda` | Services, threads | Avatar (`~/.face`, else a glyph), clock, open-meteo weather (Munich by default), month grid, CalDAV (iCloud by default): discovery, `REPORT` with `expand`, `parse::ics_events`. Sign-in stores an app-specific password with `secret-tool` (`service amane-calendar account <id>`). |
+| `notices.rs` `Notices` | Service, poll 250 ms | On top of Amane's `Notifications` server: popups (`magic-notifications`, top right of the focused monitor, timeouts by urgency, paused on hover), pictures found once per notification (`tray::icon_file`), unread count, the history card (cross = `dismiss`, Clear all, Mute = `notifications.popups.enabled`). A popup click without a default action only hides it; the server's `click` would delete it. The server itself never expires notifications. |
+| `sound.rs` `Sound` | Service, poll | `pactl` sinks and sink-inputs → each player's streams, volume, mute, output, equalizer. Curves in `~/.config/amane/island-eq`. |
+| `spectrum.rs` `Spectrum` | Service | `pw-record --target <stream> \| cava` → levels while the shown player plays; kills stale cava with `-KILL`. |
+| `art.rs` `Art` | Service, poll | Cover → `palette-cover` for `cover_colors`. |
+| `theme.rs` `Theme` | Service, `watch_file` | 10 colours from `~/.config/amane/theme` faded on one `Animation`; also watches `config.toml`. Views start with `theme::begin()`, draw with `theme::now()`; `theme::touch()` redraws all. |
+| `workspaces.rs` | view + `Hover` | Workspace pill per monitor; slots by x in one `Stack` under one sliding disc; ghost and growing slots. |
+| `parse.rs` | plain functions | All parsing, unit-tested: pactl/cava/proc, EQ store, colours, iwctl/bluetoothctl, `hyprctl` JSON, TOML (`Value`), JSON, Hyprland values, `same_app`, Ollama chunks, /proc stats, weather, WebDAV XML, iCalendar, civil dates, notification body markup. |
+| `control.rs`, `map.rs`, `prompt.rs`, `system.rs` | views, Services | Control centre and its menus, the maps (one canvas each), the popups, the network/power/GPU services. |
+| `glyph.rs` | shapes | Every icon as `Shape`s; draw many into ONE canvas (`glyph_shapes`), as each `Canvas` has a large fixed GPU cost. |
+| `edge.rs` `Edge` | Service, Hyprland sockets | socket2 events, no polling: bar hiding, `magic-edge`, peeks, workspace slide (`switched`, `created`), `hide_h()`, `magic-reserve`. |
+| `tray.rs`, `png.rs` | Services | StatusNotifierWatcher and host, icons from themes or pixmaps, dbusmenu menus. |

-The equalizer: one `setsid -f pipewire -c eq-<key>.conf` process per player with `libpipewire-module-filter-chain`, 10 biquads (low shelf 31 Hz, peaking 63 Hz–8 kHz, high shelf 16 kHz). The player's streams are moved into sink `magic_island_eq.<key>`; gains change live with `pw-cli set-param magic_island_eq.<key> Props '{ params = [ "b1:Gain" 6.0 ... ] }'`. A player only gets one when its curve or output is first changed, or it has a saved non-flat curve.
+### The island view

-### The view (island.rs `view`)
+- One `LayerWindow` per monitor (`magic-island`, `Layer::Overlay`), sized for the open card; an `InputArea` passes clicks outside through.
+- `phases(open)` splits one timeline: pill fades out, the empty shape grows, then the card fades in. At most one face per frame; `veiled()` fades with a backdrop-coloured veil.
+- Hover: Amane matches hover targets by index in the last frame, so a vanished button never hears the pointer leave: entering a spot fades all others, and `collapse()`/`set_menu()` drop stale highlights.

- One `LayerWindow` per monitor (`window_per_monitor`, namespace `magic-island`, `Layer::Overlay` because the user's windows are fullscreen) sized for the open card; an `InputArea` lets clicks outside the island through.
- All windows share the `Island` state. `opened_on` names the monitor the card is open on (others show their pill), `pointer_on` the monitor whose pill is hovered. Only the focused monitor's window (and the one with the card) reads `Spectrum`, so the others don't redraw for every cava frame: with music, pill ~11% of a core and open card ~21%, as with one island. `focused_monitor()` comes from `Workspaces`, which follows the mouse on Hyprland.
- `Spectrum::listen` first `pkill -KILL -f`s any cava running our `cava.conf`: a stopped shell leaves its cava behind, and cava ignores SIGTERM.
- `phases(open)` splits the one linear 560 ms timeline: pill fades out over 0–0.18, the empty shape grows over 0–0.6 (cubic ease-out), the card fades in over 0.6–1 (smoothstep). Closing runs it backwards. At most one face (pill or card) is built per frame.
- `veiled()` fades a face by laying the backdrop gradient over it with alpha `1 - shown` instead of `.opacity()`: same picture, no GPU layer.
- `backdrop_colors()` / `backdrop()`: one 150° three-stop gradient from the palette (dominant, `colors()[1]`, `background()`), each darkened by `deepen()` to a max brightness of 0.22 / 0.15 / 0.07.
- `pill_levels()`: 7 bars, bar *i* = loudest of spectrum slice *i* of 7, × 1.4, linear, drawn up and down from the middle line.
- `ring()`: 40 candles around the CD, levels from `mirrored()` (bass at the top, highs down both sides), `powf(0.75)`. Drawn as 3 paths (glow, body, flame tips).
- Moving the pointer off the island collapses it (`on_hover`).
+## Settings

-## Performance rules (measured on the Intel iGPU)
+- **Add a setting** in `config.rs`'s `settings!` block with a range and a one-line help; use the accessor in code. Derived values are functions over settings. Text sizes are roles (`appearance.text.*`). Remaining `const`s are names and identities only.
+- The font and cava's bar count apply on restart; everything else on save.
+- `amane ipc call config get|set|reset <path> [value]` (`hyprland.<option.path>` for Hyprland); `status` says `open=… page=… errors=… search=…`.
+- `hl.config` value forms: numbers and bools plain, gradients `{ colors = { "rgba(…)" }, angle = 45.0 }`, vec2 `{ x, y }`, css gaps a number or `{ top, right, bottom, left }`.

-Current numbers: card open with music 60 fps, about 3.1 ms GPU per frame; pill with music 60 fps, about 1.7 ms GPU, about 9% of one core for shell + cava; paused, about 1 frame a second. Opening has 1 frame over 20 ms (where the card first appears), closing 0.
+## Hyprland 0.56 (Lua config) pitfalls

- **Measure before and after every visual change** with `tools/amane-remote.sh HOST fps` and `anim island`, baseline first.
- Don't resize a shape with the full card inside it; grow the empty shape, then fade the content in.
- `.clip()` and `.opacity(<1)` each add a GPU layer. A clip over the whole card once took the iGPU from 47 to 9 fps.
- Gradients are expensive in numbers: a gradient background plus 10 gradient slider fills halved the frame rate; the single backdrop gradient is affordable.
- A veil over a gradient must be the same gradient at the same size as the shape (inset 1 px for the rim): Amane places a gradient by each rectangle's own bounds, so a smaller veil shows patches.
- Blurred shadows cost every frame: the drop shadow only exists on the pill and during the animation.
- Many shapes cost: draw repeated marks (candles, bars) as one `Path` per look.
- Streaming data needs `amane::request_frame()` in the view while levels are live; a Service write alone only got about 11 redraws a second from Hyprland.
- `Rectangle::child` holds one child; stack layers with `Stack`.
+- **Never return `visible(false)` from a layer view**: a hidden-at-start layer window stays blank forever. Return `window.click_through().child(Rectangle::new().width(0.0).height(0.0))`.
+- **`Workspaces::focus` does nothing.** Use `hl.dsp.focus({ workspace = N })`. Special workspaces: `hl.exec_cmd(cmd, { workspace = "special:x silent" })`, `hl.dsp.workspace.toggle_special("x")`.
+- `hyprctl eval` / `repl` share one Lua state; globals vanish on a config reload.
+- Layer-rule `match.namespace` is a full match: `^magic-.*$`.
+- `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/hypr/` keeps folders of dead instances; the live one has `.socket.sock`.
+- `hyprctl layers` lists hidden layer windows too (alpha 0).
+- **Reserved space:** `Zone::Reserve` reserves the whole window height, only on a window anchored to one edge. Check with `hyprctl monitors` (`reserved: 0 44 0 0`).
+- A peek only shows on the **focused** monitor. A monitor whose workspace has a fullscreen window hides the bar, pods included (an open pod card stays).
+
+## Performance rules
+
+- **Measure before and after every visual change**, same player and monitor: Amane's per-frame `gpu` time and `top` CPU.
+- Don't resize a shape with the full card inside it; grow the empty shape, then fade the content in. Don't resize a layer window every frame: size it for the whole animation.
+- `.clip()` and `.opacity(<1)` each add a GPU layer; a shadow is two. Halos only while hovered.
+- One backdrop gradient is affordable, many aren't.
+- Draw repeated marks as one `Path` per look; many icons or graphs in one `Canvas`.
+- Streaming data needs `amane::request_frame()` while it's live. Slow work (icon lookups, curl, sysfs walks) belongs on Service threads, never in a view.

 ## Develop

-1. Type-check on the dev host without the desktop. A scratch crate outside the repo (don't commit a `Cargo.toml`, Amane generates its own):
-
-   ```toml
-   [package]
-   name = "amane-shell"
-   version = "0.1.0"
-   edition = "2024"
-
-   [[bin]]
-   name = "amane-shell"
-   path = '/root/amane-config/src/main.rs'
-
-   [dependencies]
-   amane = { path = '/root/amane' }
-
-   [workspace]
-   ```
-
-   Then `cargo clippy` in that crate. (It is at `/root/.hermes/cache/scratch/amane-check/` on the dev host.)
-
-2. Unit tests: `rustc --edition 2024 --test src/parse.rs -o /tmp/parse_test && /tmp/parse_test` (5 tests).
+1. Type-check in a scratch crate outside the repo (don't commit a `Cargo.toml`), at `/root/.hermes/cache/scratch/amane-check/` (pruned after 24 h idle): `[package] name = "amane-shell"`, edition 2024, `[[bin]] path = '/root/amane-config/src/main.rs'`, `amane = { path = '<copy of the desktop's ~/git/amane>' }`, an empty `[workspace]`. Then `cargo clippy`. Fetch the copy with `ssh … 'tar cf - --exclude=target --exclude=.git -C ~/git amane'`.

 ## Testing on the desktop

-`tools/amane-remote.sh HOST COMMAND`; the full command list is in the comment at the top of the script. The main ones:
+`tools/amane-remote.sh HOST COMMAND`; the full list is at the top of the script. Its output carries "bash -c uid" noise: `grep -v` it.

 ```

 - Pick a fake player with `ipc island next` until `status` names it, before anything that changes sound.
- The island follows the focused monitor: read its geometry from `hyprctl layers -j` (namespace `magic-island`) right before each `grim` capture.
- With one window per monitor, `fps` and `anim` count every window's frames together; resting windows add ~1000 ms gaps (one frame a second for the time bar). Those aren't stalls.
- The desktop's `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/hypr/` keeps folders of dead Hyprland instances; the live one is the one with `.socket.sock`, which `amane-remote.sh` now picks. A shell started with a dead signature gets an empty `Workspaces` list.
- Once, a fresh shell exited with "lost the gpu (Device is lost)" (Mesa warns the Xe driver is experimental); starting it again worked.
- The user's pointer may be over the island and open or collapse it during a test; check `status` and capture right after `open`.
- To tune a visualiser, sample the real levels read-only (`pw-record --target <stream> | cava`, with `timeout -s KILL` on each stage; a plain `timeout` on a pipeline orphans cava) and look at the distribution first. Typical music sits at 0.15–0.35.
- In `pkill -f` patterns over SSH, use `[p]ython3 ...` so the pattern doesn't match the remote shell itself.
+- `ipc island open` and `ipc pods open X` act on the **focused** monitor (pods take a monitor name too). Read geometry from `hyprctl layers -j` right before each `grim` capture, on a monitor without a fullscreen window.
+- **Animations:** capture a strip in a loop (`grim -g "3840,0 300x60"`) while dispatching the change, then tile the frames with ffmpeg.
+- Keys: `wtype -k Escape`. Hover can't be faked with `movecursor`; real motion moves the user's mouse, so ask first.
+- Without a mouse: `ipc control open|close|menu …|status`, `ipc tray list|menu|open N|…`, `ipc pods …`. Notifications: `notify-send -a App -i icon -u critical -A key=Label …`, then `ipc pods notices list`.
+- Measure gaps and alignment from pixels (`ffmpeg … crop=… -f rawvideo`), not by asking a vision model.
+- Check `uptime` before trusting timings. In `pkill -f` patterns over SSH use `[p]ython3 ...`.

 ### After testing

 ```sh
 tools/amane-remote.sh $H players stop
 tools/amane-remote.sh $H sinks stop
-tools/amane-remote.sh $H sh 'kill $(cat shell.pid); sleep 0.5; rm -f shell.log
-  setsid -f sh -c "echo \$\$ > shell.pid; exec ~/.cache/amane/project/target/debug/amane-shell" > /dev/null 2>&1'
+tools/amane-remote.sh $H sh 'kill $(cat shell.pid); for i in $(seq 50); do pgrep -F shell.pid > /dev/null || break; sleep 0.1; done
+  rm -f shell.log; setsid -f sh -c "echo \$\$ > shell.pid; exec ~/.cache/amane/amane-shell 2> shell.err" > /dev/null 2>&1'
 ```

-The desktop's `amane` CLI is older than the docs: no `~/.cache/amane/amane-shell` is saved and `amane run` doesn't apply, so the shell runs from `~/.cache/amane/project/target/debug/amane-shell`.

 A Dynamic-Island-style media widget for Amane (Rust Wayland shell library), running on Hyprland. It sits as a small pill at the top centre of the screen and opens into a now-playing card.

- **Pill:** cover thumbnail, title, 7 live bars from the shown player's own sound (lows left, highs right, growing up and down from the middle), or a pause sign.
+- **Pill:** cover thumbnail, title, 7 live bars from the shown player's own sound (lows left, highs right, growing up and down from the middle), or a pause sign. With no player open, an idle pill: a music note and "Nothing playing". It opens too, into the last song played (kept across restarts) with Play, which starts its player and asks it to play, and chips that start the players of `island.idle.players` (desktop file names, `gtk-launch`).
 - **Card:** a still CD of the cover ringed by 40 cava "candles", title and artist, a seekable time bar, previous / play-pause / next.
 - **Player switcher** ("VIA …" chip): every MPRIS player; picking one pins it, otherwise the island follows whichever plays.
 - **Output switcher:** moves only the shown player's audio to another device.
 - **Per-player volume** (scroll the volume chip, click to mute), set on that player's own PulseAudio/PipeWire streams, so it also works for browsers that ignore MPRIS volume.
 - **Real 10-band equalizer per player** (31 Hz to 16 kHz, ±12 dB): a PipeWire filter-chain per player, with 8 presets (Flat, Bass, Treble, Vocal, Pop, Rock, Jazz, Classic). Curves are saved per player.
- **Background:** a diagonal gradient from the cover's own colours, darkened so white text stays readable.
+- **Background:** a diagonal gradient in the wallpaper's colours (see Colours); optionally the open card takes the song cover's colours.
 - **Opening animation:** the pill fades out, the empty shape grows, then the card fades in. Closing runs backwards. Moving the pointer off the open card closes it.
 - **Every monitor:** each monitor shows the pill. The card opens only on the monitor you click (a keybind opens it on the focused one), and only the focused monitor's pill shows live bars; the others show still bars, which keeps the cost at about one island's.
- **Workspace pill:** top left on every monitor, that monitor's Hyprland workspaces as round numbered slots in the island's look. The focused workspace is pink, the one shown on another monitor a softer pink, empty ones dim. Click one to switch to it.
+- **Workspace pill:** top left on every monitor, that monitor's Hyprland workspaces as round numbered slots in the island's look. The focused workspace sits on an accent disc, which slides over (stretching a little on the way) when the workspace changes; the one shown on another monitor has a softer accent, empty ones are dim. Click one to switch to it.
+- **System tray:** right of the workspace pill, a pill with every tray app's icon (StatusNotifierItem). Left click activates the app (or opens its menu if that's all it offers), right click opens its menu, drawn in the island's look (checkmarks, separators, submenus with a way back, disabled entries dim), middle click is the app's secondary action, scrolling its scroll. Nothing on this desktop ran a tray watcher, so the shell owns `org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher` on the session bus and serves it (if another bar already does, the shell shows no tray). Icons come from the app's icon name (its own theme folder, gtk's icon theme, hicolor, AdwaitaLegacy, Adwaita, `/usr/share/pixmaps`) or from the pixels it sends, written as PNGs to `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/amane-tray/`. An app that quits takes its icon with it (`src/tray.rs`).
+- **Control centre:** top right on every monitor, a pill with Ethernet, Wi-Fi (or the hotspot), VPN, Bluetooth and the battery. Click it and it opens, in the island's way, into a panel like macOS's Control Center. See [Control centre](#control-centre).
+- **Out of the way of fullscreen windows:** on a monitor whose workspace shows a fullscreen window (Hyprland fullscreen 2 or 3; only maximised keeps the bar), the island, the workspace pill (with the tray) and the control centre's pill slide out of sight. Resting the pointer on that monitor's top edge for 0.3 s brings them back until it has been off them and the edge for 0.7 s; an open card or panel stays. Everywhere else the bar is always there. Hyprland's event socket says when windows go fullscreen or workspaces change, and its command socket answers `monitors` and `clients`; nothing polls. The edge strip is a one-pixel Overlay layer, there only on fullscreen monitors (it takes their top pixel row). While hidden the bar draws nothing at all, a playing player included (`src/edge.rs`).
+- **Room for the bar:** windows that aren't fullscreen stay below the bar. An empty, click-through strip as tall as the pills reach (44 px) reserves the top of every monitor (a layer-shell exclusive zone, namespace `magic-reserve`); Hyprland keeps tiled and maximised windows out of it, plus `gaps_out`, while fullscreen windows cover it, just where the bar hides. The reservation goes away with the shell. The bar's own windows ignore it, so they stay at the top edge.
+- **Peeks:** some events bring one part in for a moment over a fullscreen window: the workspace pill alone (without the tray) for 1.6 s when the workspace changes (with the disc sliding over), the island for 3.5 s when the song changes or a player appears, on the focused monitor. The island also pops (it widens and glows, then lets go) on those events when it's visible anyway. The control centre never peeks.
+
+## Control centre
+
+The pill shows only what runs: the Ethernet socket while a cable is connected, Wi-Fi signal while iwd runs (dim while its radio is off; the hotspot sign instead while it's on), the VPN lock only while a VPN connects or is connected (accent once connected), Bluetooth while bluetoothd runs (dim while powered off, accent with a device connected), and the battery with its percentage (a bolt while charging, red below 15 %). The pill is as wide as what it shows.
+
+The panel has:
+
+- **Tiles:** Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, VPN, Hotspot, and Ethernet across the panel when the machine has a wired card. Accent = on; grey with a grey strike through the icon = its service isn't running (iwd, bluetoothd, the openvpn service); grey without the strike = nothing to work with (no device, hotspot not set up). Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and VPN open their menu when clicked anywhere; Hotspot switches at once.
+  - *Wi-Fi* (iwd): iwd stopped → grey; the switch in its menu runs `rc-service iwd start`. iwd running → the switch turns the device (station) on or off. The menu is a map: this desktop as a bubble in the middle (its hostname under it), every network in range floating around it, nearer the stronger its signal, rings rippling out while iwd scans. Each is tied to the bubble by a line: grey and wobbling while not connected; after a click the line runs out from the bubble to it until it's connected; then solid, with a pulse travelling along it. Click a saved or open network to join it (`iwctl station <dev> connect`), the connected one to disconnect; a new network asks for its password in a popup first (802.1x networks still need `iwctl`). If joining fails, the popup says why, in iwctl's words. Right-click a saved network for its saved password (read with `doas -n cat /var/lib/iwd/<profile>.psk`), which Copy (or a click on it) puts on the clipboard through `wl-copy`. Click the bubble in the middle to search again: rings run out from it while iwd scans. The tile and the connected network show the receive link rate (iwd's diagnostics, asked at most once a minute). "Stop the Wi-Fi service" at the bottom runs `rc-service iwd stop`. The shell never wakes iwd by asking it anything: it checks `NameHasOwner` first, because any D-Bus call to `net.connman.iwd` starts it.
+  - *Bluetooth* (BlueZ, through Amane's `Bluetooth`): the switch powers the adapter; with bluez installed but stopped it runs `rc-service bluetooth start`. The menu is the same map with the devices bluez knows or finds (it scans while open): connected ones closest, then paired, then the rest. Click to connect, disconnect, or pair (then trust and connect). Pairing and connecting go through a `bluetoothctl` session with its own agent: a PIN or passkey it needs, a code to confirm or to type on the device are asked in a popup, and a failure shows why. Click the bubble to search for devices (`bluetoothctl --timeout 15 scan on`).
+  - *VPN*: every openrc service `/etc/init.d/openvpn.*` (here `openvpn.swiss`), each with a switch. Connecting while openrc has it *inactive*, connected once its `up.sh` marks it *started*. A switch runs `rc-service openvpn.<name> start|stop`.
+  - *Hotspot* (iwd access point): see [Hotspot setup](#hotspot-setup).
+  - *Ethernet*: every real wired card in `/sys/class/net` (a device behind it, not wireless): connected or no cable, and the link speed it negotiated (`speed`, as 1 Gb/s). A click turns the panel into its details (it morphs like into any menu; the back button returns): the interface and driver, status (speed, duplex), every IPv4 and IPv6 address, gateway, DNS servers, MAC, MTU and traffic since boot (`ip -o addr`, `ip -o route`, `/etc/resolv.conf`, sysfs). Addresses, gateway, DNS and MAC have a Copy chip; a click anywhere on such a row copies it (addresses without their prefix).
+- **Popups:** questions (a password, PIN or passkey), a code to confirm, a saved password or why something failed, in a small card over the menu. Only a popup with a field takes the keyboard (Enter answers, Escape cancels); the others leave keys to other windows until clicked.
+- **Menus:** one shape the whole way: the panel fades its content out and takes the menu's size (the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth maps reach from the monitor's right edge to the media island's pill, leaving a 16 px gap, room for the pill's pop: 822 × 480 px on a 1920 px monitor; at most 8 networks or devices, the strongest first, so their labels never meet), then the menu's content fades in over it from a window of its own (so the maps' animation redraws only that window). The back button returns to the panel. Moving the pointer off both closes the menu where it is: its content fades out and it shrinks straight into the pill, without the panel growing back first.
+- **Sound:** the default output's volume (drag or scroll the slider); the value next to the title is the mute button. With `control.services.extra_output` set (see [Settings](#settings)) a second slider follows for the output whose name contains it (here `NR515`: the `[TX-NR515]` receiver on HDMI 1). Clicking the block elsewhere opens the Sound menu: every output with its own slider and mute; click a name to make it the default output.
+- **Display:** the laptop screen's brightness and the keyboard light (`tpacpi::kbd_backlight`: Off, Low, High), written straight to their sysfs files (a udev rule makes them writable by everyone on this laptop), else through logind, which refuses a shell without a seat (one started over ssh). For external monitors see [External monitor brightness](#external-monitor-brightness).
+- **Performance:** the firmware profiles in `/sys/firmware/acpi/platform_profile_choices` (Low power, Balanced, Performance), and the battery's state and time left. Picking one sets the platform profile and the CPU governor and energy preference with it: Low power = `powersave` + `power`, Balanced = `powersave` + `balance_performance`, Performance = the `performance` governor.
+- **External GPU:** the GPU the machine didn't boot with (`boot_vga = 0`, here the Radeon RX 6600 in the Thunderbolt enclosure): load, temperature, power draw, video memory, and every program that has it open with its video memory (and its share of the GPU while the driver reports engine time). Found through `/proc/<pid>/fdinfo` (`drm-pdev`), only while the panel is open. Root's processes can't be read and don't show; the shell itself shows up, because Vulkan opens every GPU.
+
+Changes that need root (starting services, the performance mode) run as `doas -n <fixed command>`, so they need a doas rule without a password for these commands (here `permit nopass fabian`). Nothing from other programs is passed to a shell.

+```
+
+### Hotspot setup
+
+iwd turns the Wi-Fi device into an access point, so the laptop isn't a Wi-Fi client while the hotspot is on (the internet then comes from `eth0`). Once, as root:
+
+1. Let iwd hand out addresses, in `/etc/iwd/main.conf`. This also makes iwd configure IPv4 for Wi-Fi as a client:
+
+   ```ini
+   [General]
+   EnableNetworkConfiguration=true
+   ```
+
+2. A profile `/var/lib/iwd/ap/<Name>.ap` (`man iwd.ap`):
+
+   ```ini
+   [Security]
+   Passphrase=at-least-eight-characters
+
+   [IPv4]
+   Address=192.168.80.1
+   DNSList=<your router, or a public resolver>
+   ```
+
+3. `hotspot = "<Name>"` under `[control.services]` in `config.toml`, or Control centre › Services in the config window (applies live).
+4. To share `eth0`'s internet with the hotspot's devices, forwarding and NAT (iwd doesn't do this), e.g. with nftables:
+
+   ```sh
+   sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
+   nft add table ip hotspot
+   nft 'add chain ip hotspot post { type nat hook postrouting priority 100 ; }'
+   nft add rule ip hotspot post ip saddr 192.168.80.0/24 oifname eth0 masquerade
+   ```
+
+Clicking the tile switches the device to access-point mode and calls `StartProfile(<Name>)`; if that fails (no such profile) it switches back to a client. The tile shows the profile's name, then how many devices are connected.
+
+### External monitor brightness
+
+External monitors take brightness over DDC/CI (VCP code `10`), which `ddcutil` speaks. Not wired in yet; to try it:
+
+1. `emerge --ask app-misc/ddcutil`
+2. Load `i2c-dev`: `modprobe i2c-dev`, and to keep it, `modules="i2c-dev"` in `/etc/conf.d/modules`.
+3. Access without root: ddcutil's udev rule gives the `/dev/i2c-*` buses to group `i2c`; `gpasswd -a fabian i2c`, then log in again.
+4. Turn on DDC/CI in each monitor's on-screen menu, if it has the option.
+5. `ddcutil detect` lists the monitors; `ddcutil --display 1 getvcp 10` reads one's brightness, `ddcutil --display 1 setvcp 10 60` sets it.
+
+Each call takes 50–300 ms, so a slider has to send only where the drag ends. Monitors behind docks or MST hubs often don't pass DDC; the eGPU's own DP and HDMI ports usually do. Once `ddcutil detect` works, the Display block can get one slider per external monitor.
+
+## Colours
+
+The shell takes its colours from the wallpaper through matugen. Skwd-wall v2 runs matugen on every new wallpaper and renders `matugen/amane.colors` into `~/.config/amane/theme`; the shell picks the file up the moment it changes (inotify through `amane::watch_file`) and cross-fades to the new colours. Without the file it keeps its original pink on purple; deleting it takes effect at the next start.
+
+Register the template in Skwd-wall as a matugen integration:
+
+- template: `~/.config/amane/matugen/amane.colors`
+- output: `~/.config/amane/theme`
+
+The Material You scheme type is Skwd-wall's setting (`matugen.schemeType`).
+
+Whether the open card takes the song cover's colours instead (`appearance.colors.cover_colors`), the fade time, and the colours used until there is a theme file are [settings](#settings).
+
+## Side pills
+
+Two small one-icon pills sit left of the island and two right of it, on every monitor; they move outward while the island opens. A click morphs a pill into its card. Only one card is open across the shell: opening the island closes a card, and opening a card closes the island. Esc, the cross or a click elsewhere closes it.
+
+- **AI** (sparkle): a chat with an Ollama model on your own servers, `gemma4:e4b` at `http://localhost:11434` by default. `pills.ai.servers` takes several, comma-separated, in order: the model chip in the header lists every server's models (each once, with its server when there are several) and switches at once, and a question goes to the first server that has the chosen model. Answers stream in through curl. When Ollama doesn't answer, the shell starts the OpenRC service with `doas rc-service ollama start` (`pills.ai.start_service`). Stop ends an answer and New chat starts over. Nothing goes to a cloud service, only to the servers listed.
+- **System** (pulse): CPU, the integrated GPU's clock, the external GPU's load (with its video memory and the programs on it, formerly in the control centre), memory, swap, network and disk read/write as graphs over the last minute, plus the hottest sensors with icons, in cool/warm/hot colours (`pills.monitor.warm|hot`). Everything is read from `/proc` and `/sys`, so there is no process list. Processes opens `ghostty --class=amane.monitor -e btm` on the special workspace `monitor`; a second press shows or hides it.
+- **Home** (house): `~/.face` as the avatar (a person glyph until the file exists), a greeting, the date, a big clock, and Munich's weather now and for four days from open-meteo (no key), over a photo of the current weather (`~/.config/amane/weather/<kind>-<day|night>.jpg`, downloaded once from Wikimedia Commons, credits in `weather/CREDITS.md`; swap any file, `pills.home.photo_opacity` tones it down). A big month grid marks events (dots in their calendars' colours), birthdays from your iCloud contacts (a cake) and the public holidays of `pills.calendar.holidays` (BY by default); click a day for its list. Events can be created, edited and deleted there (a series: title, place and calendar only). For iCloud, set `pills.calendar.account` to your Apple ID and store an [app-specific password](https://account.apple.com) in the keyring: `secret-tool store --label='Magic Island calendar' service amane-calendar account <Apple ID>` (gnome-keyring or another Secret Service has to run). The password never goes into `config.toml`. Other CalDAV/CardDAV servers work through `pills.calendar.server` and `contacts_server`.
+- **Notifications** (bell, with the unread count): Amane is the notification daemon (`org.freedesktop.Notifications`), so dunst must not run; it is commented out in `~/.config/hypr/autocmds.lua` (the old file is beside it as `autocmds.lua.before-amane-notifications`). Popups appear at the top right of the focused monitor with the app's icon or image, summary, body (simple markup) and action buttons. They time out by urgency (critical ones stay) and wait while the pointer is over them. A click runs the default action. The card lists the history, newest first; each entry's cross deletes it, and Clear all deletes everything. Mute app keeps an app's notifications in the history without popups; Block app drops them (`notifications.apps.muted|blocked`, undone from chips at the top of the card). Do not disturb turns all popups off.
+
+`amane ipc call pods open|toggle ai|monitor|home|notifications [monitor]`, `close`, `ask <question>`, `processes`, `notices list|dismiss <id>|clear`, `status`. Sizes, colours, poll intervals, the city and its coordinates, the model and the popup timeouts are under Side pills and Notifications in the [settings](#settings).
+
+Left out on purpose: phone stats (iOS shares nothing Linux can read without extra daemons).
+
+## Settings
+
+Every setting lives in `~/.config/amane/config.toml`: sizes, timings, text sizes, colours, poll intervals, equalizer presets and bands, the hotspot profile, the extra Sound output. The shell writes the file with every setting and its explanation the first time it starts (moving `cover_colors`, `transition_ms`, `hotspot` and `extra_output` over from an old `shell.conf`, which it no longer reads). Saving the file applies it at once; a line left out takes its default, and a line the shell can't use is listed at the top of the config window. The font and the cava bar count take effect on restart.
+
+The config window edits the same file: Settings at the foot of the control centre, or `amane ipc call config toggle`. It is a normal window with a page per part of the shell, a page per Hyprland category, and a search over everything; typing with no field selected (as right after opening it) goes into the search. Numbers with a range get a slider and a field, switches toggle, colours show a swatch; a typed value applies on Enter. Reset brings back the default.
+
+### Glass
+
+`appearance.surface.design` picks what the island, the pills, the tray menu, the control centre and its popups are made of: `solid` (the wallpaper's gradient with an accent glow), `frosted` (a thin tint, a hairline white rim, a sheen along the top, a soft shadow) or `liquid` (clear glass, denser toward the bottom right, a light-catching edge, the accent's glow). Each design's opacity, rim and light are settings of their own (`appearance.solid|frosted|liquid.*`); the look itself is `src/surface.rs`, drawn by one shader (`src/surface.wgsl`: the shadow, the fill and the sheen or lit edge in one pass; the rim stays a border). On see-through glass a face fades with `.opacity()` instead of a veil, a GPU layer only while it fades.
+
+### Performance
+
+Amane draws rectangles, borders, letters and pictures as cheap quads, and gradients, shadows and `Canvas` paths with vello, which renders over the whole window and then lays the result on top. vello keeps a result between frames only when its shapes didn't change and hold no gradient, so anything drawn with it on every frame costs a pass over the whole window. What redraws every frame is therefore kept off vello: the surfaces are a shader, the pill's bars are rounded rectangles, the candle ring and the equalizer's curve are shaders (`src/ring.wgsl`, `src/curve.wgsl`). A shader's file is written to `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/magic-island/` when it is first drawn. A shader must not contain the word `time`, or amane redraws its window on every frame.
+
+`tools/perf.sh PID [SECONDS]` (on the desktop) prints a process's CPU (and its children's), GPU per engine (DRM fdinfo) and memory.
+
+Amane can only blur what the shell draws, so the frosting comes from Hyprland: a layer rule for the shell's windows (the namespace match is a full match). `ignore_alpha` leaves pixels at or below that opacity unblurred, which keeps the clear margin around the pills sharp; keep it below the design's thinnest part, or that part shows the desktop unblurred (liquid at its default 0.4 is 0.22 in its top left corner).
+
+```lua
+hl.layer_rule({
+    name = "amane-glass",
+    match = { namespace = "^magic-.*$" },
+    blur = true,
+    ignore_alpha = 0.2,
+})
+```
+
+The blur's strength is Hyprland's own (`decoration.blur.size`, `passes`; also on the config window's Decoration page).
+
+### Hyprland options
+
+The Hyprland pages list every option Hyprland itself describes (`hyprctl descriptions`), with its current value and default, and whether your Hyprland config sets it. A change applies at once (`hl.config`) and is kept in `config.toml` under `[hyprland.*]`; the shell writes those to `~/.config/hypr/amane.lua`. Load that file last in `hyprland.lua`, so the window's values survive a Hyprland reload and win over the rest of your config:
+
+```lua
+require("amane")
+```
+
+Reset on a Hyprland option removes it from both files and reloads Hyprland's config, so your own value comes back.
+
+Gradients are typed `rgba(80d9ffff) rgba(b18cffff) 45deg` (or `#80d9ff`), points `0 0`, gaps `6` or `6 10` (css-style).

server2	9407ee3506	AI pill: several Ollama servers (pills.ai.servers, comma-separated, in order): the model list shows all their models, a question goes to the first server that has the chosen one; a local ollama is started only when no other server has it	2026-10-20 15:07:54 +02:00
server2	84b01f7c56	Config window: keys typed with no field selected, as right after opening it, go into the search	2026-10-20 15:07:27 +02:00
server2	9b4334835a	Performance: surfaces, the candle ring and the equalizer curve as shaders, the pill's bars as quads; tools/perf.sh A playing pill cost the iGPU about 2.9 ms and the CPU 3.7 ms a frame, 60 frames a second: two vello passes over the whole island window for the surface's shadow and gradients (vello keeps no gradient between frames) and one for the bars. Now 0.4 ms GPU and 1.2 ms CPU. The open card went from 5.2 to 2.6 ms GPU and 6.2 to 3.4 ms CPU a frame. surface.wgsl draws every design's shadow, fill and inner gradient in one pass, with vello's own blurred-rectangle formula	2026-10-19 13:00:35 +02:00
server2	49a0bae039	The island opens with nothing playing too: the last song played (kept across restarts) with Play, which starts its player, and chips that start players	2026-10-19 11:55:50 +02:00
server2	bccdb86ebb	Idle pill: the words only where they fit with room at both ends, else the note alone, so it never nears the rim	2026-10-19 11:42:11 +02:00
server2	ed0eb532db	Model list arrow flips when open; temperatures in a fixed order; bigger avatar; clock font, weight and digit width as settings; Cancel at the top of the event form, Esc cancels it	2026-10-16 02:51:51 +02:00
server2	d59a5bc81c	Side pills: swap and the eGPU in the system monitor (out of the control centre), coloured temperatures with icons, model switch, mute/block apps, cards close into their anchored pills; home: big calendar with event editing, birthdays, holidays, weather photos, no sign-in form	2026-10-15 23:25:54 +02:00
server2	e8741b1cb3	AGENTS.md: side pills, glass designs on master, notification daemon, Ollama; condensed	2026-10-15 13:06:19 +02:00
server2	bbe184ab97	Side pills: local AI chat, system monitor, home (clock, Munich weather, iCloud calendar), notifications daemon with popups and history	2026-10-15 12:52:55 +02:00
server2	6399844731	New workspaces grow in; config saves don't redraw everything or race; media peek skips the player in front - A workspace Hyprland makes for a switch (createworkspacev2) grows into the row over the slide instead of appearing at full size; the window keeps the full room meanwhile. - Every config.toml save restarted the colour Animation, and Animation::new runs its clock even from a colour to itself, so every window redrew for 0.4 s per save. The colours now only fade when they change. - The file watch could read config.toml halfway through the shell's own save and reset settings to their defaults. Saves and rereads share one lock, the file is written to a new file and renamed over, and the shell's own saves are skipped by the watch. - A song change or new player only pops the island when the focused window isn't that player's app (parse::same_app, tested).	2026-10-15 11:28:44 +02:00
server2	5d322b940d	Glass designs as settings: solid, frosted, liquid on every surface appearance.surface.design picks the look (chips in the config window); each design's opacity, rim and light are settings. surface::shell now draws the island, idle pill, workspace and tray pills, tray menu, control centre and popup, so a design applies everywhere. On see-through glass faces fade with .opacity(). Shell text settings can list their allowed words (chips).	2026-10-15 03:05:06 +02:00
server2	7d8525e95c	AGENTS.md: settings, config window, workspace ghost; condensed	2026-10-15 02:59:52 +02:00
server2	3b9929aff4	Esc closes the config window; a removed empty workspace closes up during the switch Hyprland drops an empty workspace the moment it's left, so its number vanished and the row jumped before the disc slid. Its slot now stays for the slide, shrinking and fading, and the pill narrows with it.	2026-10-15 02:55:30 +02:00
server2	4fbfad3ce3	Config window: every setting in config.toml, Hyprland options from Hyprland All tunable values (sizes, timings, text sizes, colours, polls, equalizer presets and bands, hotspot, extra output) are settings declared once in config.rs, read from ~/.config/amane/config.toml, applied live on save. shell.conf's four values move over on first start. settings.rs: a normal window (control centre gear, or ipc config) with a page per part, a page per Hyprland category, search and reset per row. hypr.rs: Hyprland's options from hyprctl descriptions/getoption, applied with hl.config and kept in ~/.config/hypr/amane.lua.	2026-10-15 02:18:57 +02:00
server2	dfe3867529	Peeks start where the part is: no dip when the bar hides Switching from a workspace with the bar shown to a fullscreen one slid the bar away while the workspace peek slid in from hidden, so the pill dipped and came back. A peek now starts from the part's current position, so a shown pill stays still for the peek and then leaves. The tray, which peeks don't show, slides away on its own. Tested on DP-2 (2 -> 3 and back), frame by frame.	2026-10-15 01:14:55 +02:00
server2	200aff97ae	AGENTS.md: control centre, tray, bar hiding and reserved space; new ground rules and test notes	2026-10-13 06:19:41 +02:00
server2	11646cafcf	Reserve the top of every monitor for the bar edge::spacer: a full-width, empty, click-through Background layer as tall as the pills reach (TOP_GAP + COMPACT_H = 44 px) with Zone::Reserve. Hyprland keeps tiled and maximised windows below it and lets fullscreen windows cover it, so space is reserved exactly where the bar stays. Verified: reserved 0 44 0 0 on all monitors, a tiled window moved from y=636 to 680, a fullscreen one still covers 1920x1080, idle 0 frames.	2026-10-13 06:15:37 +02:00
server2	35386e84f1	Maps fit beside the media island The map menus' width follows the monitor: from its right edge to the island's compact pill, less a 16 px gap (the pill's pop is 15 px a side); 822 px on 1920. AREA_H 480, no alternating rings (simulated: no label overlaps up to 8 nodes at this size). The password popup centres on it.	2026-10-13 06:09:06 +02:00
server2	a7c49a16c0	Ethernet details in the panel, smaller maps, no tray in workspace peeks - control.rs: Menu::Ethernet; the panel morphs into the card's details (gathered off the drawing thread first) instead of a separate popup; prompt::copy now takes a callback so both use wl-copy the same way - prompt.rs: the Details popup is gone - map.rs: 920x460, at most 8 nodes, lighter nearness pull (simulated: no label overlaps up to 8 nodes while drifting) - workspaces.rs: a peek on a workspace change shows the workspaces alone	2026-10-13 05:40:44 +02:00
server2	1e99d7264c	Tray, fullscreen-only hiding, peeks, Ethernet details, wider maps - tray.rs: the shell serves org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher (only when no other watcher runs) and is its host; icons from the theme or from IconPixmap (png.rs, a stdlib png writer); left/middle/right click and scroll; dbusmenu menus drawn in the island's look; tray IPC verbs for testing - edge.rs: the bar hides only on monitors showing a fullscreen window, driven by Hyprland's event socket; peeks of the workspaces (with the disc sliding) and the island (song change, new player), with a pop on the island - prompt.rs: Ethernet details popup (addresses, gateway, DNS, MAC copyable) - map.rs: 1100x560 maps, every other node a ring further in - tools/fake_tray.py: a fake tray app, by bus name or by path	2026-10-13 04:58:08 +02:00
server2	b14df3a435	Control centre: popups via iwctl/bluetoothctl, one-shape menus, search rings, Ethernet and link speeds, auto-hiding bar - prompt.rs: popup for Wi-Fi passwords, Bluetooth PINs/passkeys/codes, saved passwords (Copy through wl-copy on stdin) and failure reasons; joins through iwctl, pairs through a bluetoothctl session; only popups with a field take the keyboard (an exclusive grab let stray keystrokes close failure popups) - menus: the panel is the only shape; the menu window fades its content in once the panel has taken the menu's size - maps: clicking the bubble searches again (iwctl scan, bluetoothctl scan) with rings running out from the click - Ethernet tile and pill icon from sysfs; link speed badges (Ethernet speed, Wi-Fi RxBitrate from iwd diagnostics, at most once a minute) - edge.rs: bar hidden until the pointer rests on the top edge; nothing is read or drawn while hidden - IPC: control wifi join\|password\|search, bluetooth pair\|connect\|search, prompt answer\|cancel, status prompt=	2026-10-13 02:59:22 +02:00
server2	afe963dfea	Revert "control centre: ask for Wi-Fi passwords and Bluetooth PINs in a popup" This reverts commit `4d4166dadc`.	2026-10-12 01:14:39 +02:00
server2	4d4166dadc	control centre: ask for Wi-Fi passwords and Bluetooth PINs in a popup The shell registers as iwd's agent and as BlueZ's default agent (KeyboardDisplay), each only while its daemon runs (GetNameOwner, never a call that would start it), and again after a restart. RequestPassphrase, RequestPinCode, RequestPasskey, RequestConfirmation, RequestAuthorization, DisplayPinCode and DisplayPasskey show a small popup over the control centre that takes the keyboard (Enter answers, Escape cancels); the answer is the reply to the daemon's call. Amane can only reply with success, so Cancel leaves the call unanswered and cancels the pairing or the joining. New Wi-Fi networks with a password are clickable on the map now; IPC control prompt answer\|cancel.	2026-10-11 08:56:13 +02:00
server2	8fa951fe15	control centre: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth menus as a map around this desktop The menus are 820 px wide (the panel resizes to them). This desktop is a bubble in the middle, networks and devices float around it, nearer the stronger (or the more connected) they are, rings ripple out while scanning. Each is tied to the bubble by a line: grey and wobbling while idle, running out from the bubble after a click until it's connected, solid with a travelling pulse once connected. The map is one Canvas: node discs and icons are shapes in it (glyph_shapes), the node widgets only take the pointer. Seven icon Canvas widgets had cost 4.6 ms of gpu a frame and halved the frame rate; now 1.8 ms at 60 fps. The menu window is sized to its menu.	2026-10-11 02:58:50 +02:00
server2	7bbb23d9ca	control centre: pill shows only running services, struck tiles, menus close in place The pill drops the icon of a service that isn't running (iwd, bluetoothd, the openvpn service) and is as wide as what it shows. A tile whose service isn't running is grey with a grey strike through its icon. Leaving a menu with the pointer fades its content where it is and shrinks it straight into the pill; the panel no longer grows back to its full size on the way.	2026-10-10 12:32:44 +02:00
server2	318b2a8443	control centre: menus for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, VPN and Sound in their own window The tile or block grows into its menu; the panel fades its content and takes the menu's size underneath. Wi-Fi lists networks (join saved/open, disconnect, stop iwd), Bluetooth lists devices, VPN has a switch per openvpn service, Sound has every output with its own slider and a default picker. A second Sound slider for the output named by extra_output in shell.conf (NR515). Screen and keyboard light are written to sysfs directly: logind refuses a shell without a seat.	2026-10-10 12:13:34 +02:00
server2	1b571abef0	control centre: status pill top right that opens into a macOS-like panel Wi-Fi and hotspot (iwd, never D-Bus-activated by a read), VPN (openrc openvpn.*), Bluetooth (bluez), battery, volume, screen and keyboard light, performance mode (platform profile + governor + EPP through doas -n), and the external GPU with the programs using it (drm fdinfo). Icons move to glyph.rs.	2026-10-10 11:33:04 +02:00
server2	54f51c5671	AGENTS.md: full handoff for a new session where everything lives (repo, library, skill, desktop and its Hyprland setup), the user's ground rules, the current state (master, the three open glass branches with benchmark numbers, what runs on the desktop), architecture including hover, instant transport, monitors, theme and idle pill, Hyprland 0.56 pitfalls, performance rules, develop and test workflow, open threads	2026-10-10 03:22:56 +02:00
server2	826401e28b	README: amane run works now; tools: anim counts 20-500 ms gaps - README install: the desktop's amane CLI saves ~/.cache/amane/amane-shell, so amane compile + amane run is the way to start the shell - amane-remote.sh anim: with one window per monitor, gaps of 500 ms and more are other islands resting, not stutter	2026-10-10 00:42:18 +02:00
server2	036b326b04	theme: react to file changes instead of polling the Theme service waits on amane::watch_file (inotify on the folder, so matugen's rename-over saves count) for both ~/.config/amane/theme and shell.conf, settles 50 ms for multi-write saves, and skips writes that change nothing. measured on the desktop: rename-over, in-place and sed -i writes picked up in 55-68 ms (was up to 500 ms), identical rewrites ignored, no activity while idle (was 4 reads a second). deleting the theme file takes effect at the next start	2026-10-09 04:44:02 +02:00
server2	d04cbac8d4	AGENTS.md: theme.rs and the colour flow	2026-10-09 04:29:41 +02:00
server2	eabda748f5	colours from the wallpaper through matugen - matugen/amane.colors: a matugen template (primary, on_primary, primary_container, primary_fixed, on_surface, on_surface_variant, outline_variant, surface_container high/normal/lowest) that skwd-wall renders into ~/.config/amane/theme on every new wallpaper - theme.rs: a Theme service reads that file and shell.conf twice a second (matugen replaces its output, which a file watch can lose) and fades all ten colours together on one Animation; without a theme file the shell keeps its pink on purple - the island, the idle pill and the workspace pill draw with the theme; white overlays (chips, tracks, hover tints) stay as they are - shell.conf: cover_colors (true: the open media card and equalizer take the cover's gradient as background, accents stay the wallpaper's) and transition_ms (0 switches instantly), both applied without a restart - parse: settings() and rgb(), with a test (6 pass) - checked on the desktop with a hand-written theme file: pill, workspace pill and card recolour, cover_colors switches the card background live	2026-10-09 04:28:39 +02:00
server2	2870ebbd13	island: an idle pill while no player is open the island is always there now: with no player it shows a pill with a drawn music note and 'Nothing playing', in the cover gradient with the pink glow. click-through, static (draws once). checked on all 4 monitors	2026-10-08 11:45:26 +02:00
server2	ecd9a8d3b0	AGENTS.md: workspace clicks use the lua dispatch, never visible(false)	2026-10-08 11:40:22 +02:00
server2	66bf25f7dd	fix workspace clicks and the island stuck after a hidden start - workspace pill: clicks did nothing. amane's Workspaces::focus sends 'dispatch workspace N', which hyprland 0.56 with a lua config turns into hl.dispatch(workspace N) and rejects. dispatch the lua form the user's keybinds use, hl.dsp.focus({ workspace = N }), through hyprctl on its own thread (named workspaces with negative ids are left out) - island: 'magic-island has no child to draw' at startup without a player, and the island then never appeared. hyprland 0.56 configures a layer surface before its first commit (seen with WAYLAND_DEBUG), so a window that starts visible(false) gets a size, amane runs the empty view, logs, and waits for frame callbacks an undrawn surface never gets. with no player the island is now an empty click-through window instead - verified on the desktop: 0 'no child' lines, island draws at startup and shows on all 4 monitors when a player starts	2026-10-08 11:38:16 +02:00
