tools/verify-hypr-ipc.py exercises the fork's Hyprland IPC the way a client
reaches it, which the compositor's own log cannot show you. It checks the
socket names, that the five read commands answer JSON, that `bogus`,
`dispatch exec rofi`, `dispatch killactive`, `dispatch workspace +1` and
`dispatch workspace 0` are all refused, and that a real switch returns `ok`.
It moves the focused workspace, so it returns to the one you started on.
It is a validated negative test, not a hopeful one: run against the old
compositor before the socket rename was installed, it failed on the names and
exited 1.
docs/unreproducible-dead-input-2026-08-10.md records the session that came up
with no keyboard or pointer at all, and did not come back after a reboot. It
is closed deliberately rather than fixed, and most of its value is the list of
things it is not -- the fork's patches, `seats.for_device()` returning None,
the modifier-only Super binding, a shortcuts-config race, and two scary log
lines that stock COSMIC prints too. The one suspicious fact is that it was the
fourth compositor start on that boot. If it recurs, there is a list of what to
collect before rebooting destroys it.
The design spec said `.socket` and `.socket2`; corrected to the names clients
actually open.
cosmic.conf's bare-Super binding gets a comment saying why the key field is
empty, since an empty field in a `bind` line reads like a typo. COSMIC
supports modifier-only bindings and Hyprland's `bind` cannot express one.
Spike results corrected the spec: ThemeBuilder.gaps is (outer, inner) at
cosmic-theme/src/model/theme.rs:895, lives under CosmicTheme.{Dark,Light}.Builder
rather than CosmicTk, and fans out to two components. Entry therefore carries
targets: &[Target].
34 tests, including the folding property that keeps gaps_out from clobbering
gaps_in. Bare #rrggbb colours rejected: # begins a comment, as in Hyprland.
