The launcher's Copy Password command, built alone and last as the plan
required, because every line of it is the security design: the secret
travels rbw to wl-copy through a pipe -- never argv, never a file --
and the copy carries wl-clipboard's --sensitive hint, which vicinae's
clipboard history documents it ignores. That claim was not taken on
faith: a plain probe landed in the live history database and a
sensitive one did not, before any of this was written. A transient
timer clears the clipboard after thirty seconds. An unconfigured rbw
gets a setup message; a vault that locks between list and get gets an
honest failure instead of an empty copy claiming success. rbw joins
desktop-packages, and the contract pins the whole journey with a stub
vault, including that the secret never appears on a command line.
The OS-parity batch from the vicinae plan, tasks 1 through 7. The audit
came back better than the plan guessed: the calculator already links
libqalculate, the built-in file index answers in under 100ms across all
of home, quicklinks and snippets ship as built-in stores -- so zero new
packages, and `vicinae dmenu` replaces the planned compiled extension
outright. What was missing gets built: a power menu (lock, suspend, log
out through uwsm, restart, power off), reminders as transient systemd
timers with a pick-to-cancel list, a color picker over hyprpicker, and
dmenu pick-lists for window switching, force quit, kill process, SSH
hosts, and recent files -- all through one panama-pick helper. The
launcher commands contract exercises the reminder parsing and every
pick-list against stubs, including killing its own sacrificial sleep.
