Changelog

2026-10-10 (cleanup)

• Niri: floating windows open bottom-left by default; Picture-in-picture floats at a fixed offset.
• Noctalia v4 settings.json: move workspaces and system monitor to the right, add taskbar, enable idle.
• tmux: add per-window agent status indicator, 2s status refresh and a Prefix+Tab window switcher popup.
• Claude settings: pin model to sonnet, add herdr SessionStart hook, humanizer and ui-ux-pro-max plugins.
• CLAUDE.md: document claude/fish/kanshi linking, workspaces.kdl and the tmux helper script living outside the repo.

2026-10-10

• Fix niri login: Mod+T bind had three actions, niri rejected the config and fell back to defaults (no bar, no kanshi).
• Autostart now launches noctalia (v5, native) instead of qs -c noctalia-shell (v4, Quickshell/QML).
• Reason for the switch: Qt 6.12 broke noctalia-shell 4.x colours (resolveColorKey is not a function) and noctalia-qs was built on 6.11.
• Port all niri keybinds from qs ... ipc call to noctalia msg (launcher, lock, session, volume, media, brightness).
• Add noctalia/config.toml: theme, wallpaper, weather, idle, dock and bar layout ported from the old settings.json.
• Bar on the 5120px ultrawide (DP-1) is limited to ~70% width via a per-monitor margin_ends override.
• Restore previous wallpaper (stellar-blade-2024-ultrawide.jpg) on all outputs.
• Document the noctalia v4 to v5 migration (files, keybinds, bar, rollback) in docs/noctalia-v5.md and CLAUDE.md.
