A mode is on because something is true right now: a game is running, a window is fullscreen on a given display, a workspace is focused, the clock is inside a window. That is asked again rather than fired once, and it is the whole reason schedules could be included here without the usual failure modes. A machine asleep at 23:30, rebooted at 02:00, or opened at 08:00 into a window that has already passed all reach the right answer by being asked again; an alarm gets all three wrong. The midnight-crossing rule is the part worth being careful about: a window belongs to the day it STARTS on, so a Friday-only 23:30-07:00 covers Saturday morning and must not cover Saturday night. That arithmetic was tested as pure logic before anything was built on it, including every malformed input failing closed -- silencing someone because a time string was wrong is the worst way this could fail. This does not take over the manual timed session. FocusSession already owns that, with its capsule, shortcut, Quick Settings entry and contracts, so modes defer entirely while one runs. Two writers of Do Not Disturb would each restore whatever the other happened to leave behind. Gaming hands over rather than being duplicated. The hook was silencing notifications itself, which would have made exactly those two owners -- and Gaming.active only polls while its settings page is open, so a mode could not have seen a game reliably in any case. The hook reports the game over IPC now and the mode decides what that means, the Gaming page points at it, and gamingSilenceNotifications is retired from the schema, since a setting nothing reads is the dead row this work keeps removing. Sleep ships disabled. A desktop that starts silencing someone on first boot has overstepped, whatever the default hour. Three contracts moved with it. gaming-contract asserted the hook uses setDnd, which was right before and wrong now; the shell-side assertions that setDnd and dndState exist stay, because a toggle would flip an already-silent machine back on. The new contract is proven to fail by breaking the midnight rule and by letting modes run alongside a manual session. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BRvzt4H8XXLPVH5MyYdk9L
Panama
Formerly Sunhat. A personal config for Fedora, with the intention of helping a user set up their Fedora system with one command.
git clone https://git.gbrown.org/gib/Panama.git ~/.local/share/Panama
~/.local/share/Panama/install
install runs everything in setup/scripts/ in order:
| Script | Does |
|---|---|
install-packages |
Repos (RPM Fusion, Terra, Hyprland COPR), then the four package lists in setup/packages/ |
link-dotfiles |
Symlinks config/dot/<name> → ~/.config/<name> |
change-settings |
Copies config/copy/ over /, applies gsettings, enables user services |
Existing configs are moved to config/old/ rather than overwritten.
Desktops
Panama configures two desktops that coexist. Both sessions stay available in GDM, so you can switch back and forth while you settle in.
GNOME
The original setup: Forge for tiling, Dash-to-Dock, Openbar, Vitals,
AppIndicator support. Configured through config/dot/forge/ and gsettings.
Hyprland
A from-scratch replacement built to reproduce the GNOME setup closely enough that muscle memory transfers — same keybinds, same panel contents, same dock, same Tokyo Night Moon palette.
| Piece | What it is |
|---|---|
config/dot/hypr/ |
Compositor config. Lua, not hyprlang — see its README |
config/dot/quickshell/ |
The shell: bar, dock, Continuum overview, Settings, Screen Intelligence, focus sessions, quick settings, notifications, screenshot UI |
config/dot/vicinae/ |
Raycast-style launcher, themed |
config/dot/uwsm/ |
Session environment (see the uwsm caveat in the hypr README) |
config/dot/wofi/ |
Fallback launcher, in case the shell fails to start |
config/dot/xdg-desktop-portal/ |
Portal backend routing |
Start here: config/dot/hypr/README.md — it
covers the Lua migration, the uwsm environment gotcha, the HDR decision, the
full keymap, and troubleshooting.
