The session-lock surface was transparent with nothing painting behind it.
TouchLockSurface now owns its backdrop: lock.wallpaperPath when pinned,
else the system wallpaper, else a dark field — plus a scrim for glance
legibility. Glance clock gains lock.twelveHourClock (default on, h:mm ap).
LockConfig grows the wallpaper picker (same FolderListModel grid as the
wallpaper page, no matugen side effects) and the 12-hour switch.
Seal items AES-256-GCM under a random store key (item id as AAD).
Machine wrap: HKDF over a deterministic machined signature (domain
secrets-store-key, socket /run/souveraine/machined.sock; legacy
seed-id fallback, same framing) — private key never enters the daemon.
Argon2id passphrase wrap slot (64MiB/3, HKDF-mixed with the machine
signature) managed via org.souveraine.Secrets.Manage: SetPassphrase /
VerifyPassphrase / HasPassphrase; rotation re-wraps only.
Client-found spec fixes: DH prime was the 2048-bit group-14 constant,
not the 1024-bit Second Oakley group libsecret uses (pinned by test);
item ids now simple UUIDs (hyphens illegal in object paths); collection
also served at /aliases/default; interfaces registered before name
claim. Added spec signals, real timestamps, content types, atomic 0600
store writes.
packaging: systemd user unit, D-Bus activation shadow, idempotent
phone deploy script (masks gnome-keyring, verifies round-trip).
loginctl manages sessions/users/seats only — `loginctl poweroff` exits 1
"Unknown command verb". Preferring it silently broke poweroff/reboot/
suspend/hibernate from every shell surface. Use systemctl; fall back to
loginctl only on elogind systems where it does carry power verbs. The
logind D-Bus capability probe (CanPowerOff etc.) is unchanged — logind
owns policy, systemctl carries out the action.
The C splash now plays only Acts I-III and hands off at ~6.8s; a new
BootBloom layershell overlay (modules/souveraine/boot) resumes Acts IV-V
(Souvie + bloom flower) over the live compositor, clock-aligned to the boot
epoch so the animation is continuous across the process swap. It maps as
Hyprland's first surface (top-level in ShellRoot, before Config.ready),
pokes splash-signal on its first frame to release the GPU, and LockScreen
clears bootBloomActive on secure to fade it out and reveal the lock. Bloom
shader is qsb-compiled from BootBloom.frag at deploy time.
Drop services/Audio.qml from the manifest: it was a pactl mirror written
for native PulseAudio and only tracked the default sink/source. The phone
runs PipeWire now, so ii's native Pipewire Audio service (full graph,
WirePlumber-owned volume) takes over.
Deleted from repo in a prior session while reverting an experiment;
never should have removed a file that wasn't reverted alongside it.
Pulled back from the phone's live ~/.config/quickshell deploy, which
was still running the correct version the whole time.
squeekboard auto-shows/hides itself on input-method focus without
telling the shell; the stale flag left the dock suppressed and the rail
floating at keyboard height. gdbus monitor on its Visible property is
the single truth now.
Wallpaper grid in the settings app applying through the shell's
wallpapers IPC. Lock pad now tracks the finger during the swipe and
settles on release instead of snapping at a threshold.
seat0-active polkit rule so power off/reboot/suspend stop returning
challenge into a session with no polkit agent on the lock surface.
Lock-surface buttons stay gated behind allowPowerFromLock (opt-in) and
requirePasswordToPower. SystemGestureRail progressive gesture + mission
control nav flag.
- packaging/upower-souveraine submodule pinned at fork head (f18b1a4,
souveraine/charge-type): ChargeType + PercentageTrusted on Device
- PKGBUILD.upower.prebuilt: prebuilt meson install tree, provides/
conflicts upower, replaces stock (IgnorePkg=upower on the phone)
- ci.yml: build the fork per-arch against the aarch64 sysroot, assert
binary arch, fold into the souveraine-{arch} pacman db
- LockSurfaceHost: charge line driven by device state, not onBattery —
no more eternal 'Charging N%' on a topped-off pack
- docs/tasks/power-indication.md force-added past the docs/ gitignore
fallback surface renders only the dark field until touched, so a normal
boot no longer flashes a second PIN style under the shell lockscreen.
hyprctl dismissnotify fires once the shell confirms its lock, clearing
the bogus lockscreen-crashed banner from the handoff connection drop.
PIN pad hidden until swipe up / tap hint / hardware key; retreats after
25s idle with nothing typed. shouldReFocus no longer implies reveal --
hypridle fires it on every wake and wake must land on glance.
ext-session-lock finished (another client held the lock) drops
WlSessionLock.locked C++-side; the request bool never heard about it.
Stale true lied to redaction/capability gates and blocked re-locking
(the binding only fires on a false->true edge).
Session.lock() notified logind unconditionally; hypridle's lock_cmd fires
on logind's Lock signal, so every lock echoed back through logind ->
hypridle -> lock() forever. Observed: ~450 lock requests/min for 7 minutes,
re-locking the screen seconds after each unlock. Notify only on the
unlocked->locked edge.
sessiond gave up waiting for the compositor lock ack after one dispatch —
at boot Hyprland defers the ack while the splash holds DRM, so the initial
lock silently failed (journal: 'never acknowledged', 0.7s in) and boot ran
on the legacy lock path. Wait up to 60s for locked/finished.
The shell refused to load on the phone — onSocketConnected/
onSocketDisconnected handler-slots aren't reliably attachable across
quickshell builds, so the whole singleton cascade aborted at the bridge.
Switched to the real connectionStateChanged signal, branching on
sock.connected. LockAgentCard needs 'import qs' for the GlobalStates
singleton (root module), not just qs.services.
Redacted messages stayed '[content hidden until unlock]' forever — nothing
restored them on unlock. Redaction now records the message and unlock
restores content from rawContent. Turns finishing while locked are also
redacted and surfaced. New LockAgentCard shows a one-line preview of
replies that landed during the lock window on the lock glance, like a
notification; body stays hidden until unlock.
sessiond auth: getpwuid_r buffer is u8 with a c_char cast so it compiles
on aarch64 (c_char = u8 there) and x86 (c_char = i8).
API-created conversations (shell /agent, /new) never got a system prompt —
the agent booted amnesiac with no constitution, memories, or skills. Prompt
seeding now lives on SouveraineServer and every entry point shares it.
Memory frontmatter: stop serializing None as 'key: null', round-trip
unknown keys instead of destroying them, merge agent-supplied frontmatter
instead of nesting a second block in the body, and make reads tolerant so
a nonconforming file can still be read and healed.
ext-session-lock client that locks at session start, hands the lock to the
shell over a runtime socket without an unlocked instant (abandon + restore),
and retakes it the moment the shell heartbeat drops. Spartan PIN fallback
surface, PAM via hand-rolled libpam FFI, machined-style sync server.
Shell side: SessiondBridge singleton + LockScreen initIfReady routes the
startup lock decision through the handshake.
Dimmed now actually lowers the backlight (brightnessctl save/restore)
and Active restores it - previously dimRequested had no consumer, so
auto-dim never existed on this stack. Keep System Awake is checked
inside the monitor handlers rather than bound to enabled: recreating
the ext-idle-notify object during lock teardown is a fatal Wayland
protocol error on the Pixel compositor. Defaults now mirror the
hypridle timers (dim 120s, lock 300s).
The drag ghost was anchored (centerIn) — Qt won't move an anchored
drag.target, so no DropArea ever fired and stack creation died silently;
position it on press instead. Drag lifecycle now sets dockDragInProgress
(the DockManifest guard finally has a writer). Restored pulseDockReveal,
lost in a refactor while its osk.pulseDock caller survived.
Rail lifts atop squeekboard by measured layer height (hyprctl -j layers,
namespace osk); swipe down dismisses the keyboard first, then a visible
dock in any state (new dockSuppressed, cleared by swipe up). Overview:
taps in the grid's dead space dismiss it instead of being eaten.
DockConfig grew the real pins/stacks editor (unpin, rename, unstack,
dissolve).
The full server's bridge now announces which agent pubkeys this box
hosts (read fresh per reconnect), same list the lite listener already
computed — loader moved to federation/mod.rs and shared. DeviceRegistry
records it (serde default keeps old known_peers.json parsing) and
souveraine peers shows a hosts: line. Durable memfs-side instance log
still to come.
Per-instance branch (instance/{machine-pubkey-prefix} until commission
labels exist) on the origin remote. Fetch + push only — never touches
the working tree; merge policy is the next step. Shells out to system
git so creds work like everywhere else. Loud without a remote;
provisioning stays explicit.
One event per memfs write/append/delete, replacing the three bespoke
memory_* events nobody consumed. Payload carries op, agent pubkey (seed
beside memfs), machine instance (machined-first), paths, head commit,
branch — enough for a federated peer to know to fetch. Best-effort:
missing identity warns and ships null, never blocks the write.
MemoryRepo stays a pure store; grew head_commit_hex/current_branch.
All machine-seed consumers now resolve identity machined-first with a
loud legacy fallback, and none of them generate. Federation envelopes
are signed through MachineSigner with domain separation
(souveraine-machined:v1:federation-envelope:...) so the wire format is
identical whichever tier holds the key; verify reconstructs the same
frame. Unsignable events are dropped loudly, never sent unsigned.
identity show/sign are load-only now — reading an identity must not
mint one. Round-trip + tamper tests on the envelope.
The machine seed moves out of the user session: souveraine-machined owns
/var/lib/souveraine/seed-id as the souveraine system user and serves
pubkey/sign over /run/souveraine/machined.sock (SO_PEERCRED logged,
domain-separated signatures, group-gated socket). Seed is a precondition
- provision via 'souveraine machine init --fresh|--migrate-from', the
daemon never generates. reach/consult now resolves the machine key
through the daemon with a loud legacy fallback. Hardened system unit +
sysusers shipped in the Arch package.
souveraine-secrets (feature 'secrets', own bin target) backs libsecret
clients — Chatty/libcmatrix and our keyring-core store — without
gnome-keyring or KWallet. Implements the dh-ietf1024-sha256-aes128-cbc-pkcs7
session transport (zbus/hkdf/aes-cbc, MODP-1024 via num-bigint) plus
collection/item/session objects and the store. SeedId::load() is the strict
no-generate counterpart to load_or_generate: the daemon treats identity as a
precondition and fails loudly if none exists.
Config.qml regained sidebar.width/widthExtended (their absence collapsed
the right sidebar PanelWindow to 1px — 'unclickable' on the laptop), plus
lock.dpmsTimeout, lock.unlockHook, and autoIdleInhibit with its Idle.qml
property. Audio.qml's absent capture source is now a zero-volume stub so
stock consumers stop dereferencing null, and the pactl status parse runs
under LC_ALL=C. volumeMixer dialog content comes along for the sidebar.
Findings logged in SouveraineOS/docs/DUMP-power-idle-lock-2026-07-15.md.
They're cross-surface (laptop + phone) OS docs, not shell-tree internals.
Live copies now in ~/Projects/SouveraineOS/docs/ alongside
SESSION-AUTHORITY-DOCTRINE.md and the session dumps.
The lock-time redaction Connections block referenced GlobalStates but
Ai.qml never imported the root qs module, so every screenLocked change
threw ReferenceError inside the handler — taking the lock surface down.
IdleConfig.qml now shows:
- Full IdleCoordinator state names including Suspending/Asleep/Waking
- Sleep inhibitor held/released status (from SessionEvents)
- stepUp grant TTL presence
hypridle.conf changes (NOT in repo — apply to ~/.config/hypr/):
- lock_cmd simplified to loginctl lock-session (SessionEvents catches
the Lock signal); hyprlock fallback if quickshell is down
- before_sleep_cmd REMOVED — SessionEvents handles PrepareForSleep
- inhibit_sleep REMOVED — SessionEvents holds the delay inhibitor
- suspend_cmd prefers loginctl over systemctl for PrepareForSleep signal
SessionAudit.qml — tamper-evident JSONL log of all session state changes:
- Lock/unlock, secure/insecure transitions
- Idle state machine transitions (active/dimmed/lock/sleep/wake)
- PrepareForSleep, external lock signals, inhibitor lifecycle
- Step-up auth success/failure, break-glass issued/consumed/expired
- Grant expiry and revocation
Hash chain: each entry includes md5 of previous entry. Sequence numbers
detect gaps. Chain is validated on startup from the last entry.
Uses Qt.md5() (not SHA256 — not available in QML). Advisory tamper-
evidence, not cryptographic security. Log at:
~/.local/share/souveraine/session-audit.jsonl
StepUpAuth.breakGlass(actionFamily, reason):
- Requires a non-empty reason (logged prominently)
- 60-second TTL (not the normal 5 minutes)
- One-time: consumed on use via isBreakGlass()
- Cannot be issued while session is locked
- Cleared on lock (fail-closed)
- Tracked separately from normal grants for audit
Souveraine.send() now checks break-glass before blocking on step-up.
Break-glass bypasses normal PAM auth — the user declared an emergency.
Phase 1 of the SouveraineOS homogenization — the three highest-priority
gaps from the session trust architecture:
New files:
- services/SessionEvents.qml — logind event ingress (PrepareForSleep,
session Lock signal) via gdbus monitor; delay-mode sleep inhibitor
held from startup, released only after WlSessionLock.secure
- services/StepUpAuth.qml — step-up PAM authentication with short-lived
in-memory grants per action family; revokes on lock/timeout/failure
- TRUST-BOUNDARY-MATRIX.md — every session operation classified by
caller type, auth gate, and enforcement status
Modified:
- IdleCoordinator: extended with Suspending/Asleep/Waking states for
the sleep lifecycle; wires to SessionEvents when present
- Session.qml: added sleep inhibitor kind, stepUp/sleepInhibitor
state in IPC projection, boot-time IPC audit log
- Config.qml: added lock.stepUp config section (enabled, grantTtlMs)
- LockConfig.qml: added step-up authentication settings section
- deploy.sh: added SessionEvents and StepUpAuth to manifest
- SESSION-TRUST-ARCHITECTURE.md: marked phase 1 items as done
- REFERENCE-EXTRACTION.md: marked build order items as done
Grows Souveraine's own surfaces on top of the borrowed ii shell and drops
the separate pill shell in favor of one integrated navigation rail.
Session arbiter (functions/Session.qml): probe logind's Can* methods over
busctl instead of guessing from installed binaries -- the answer carries the
polkit tier (yes/challenge/na), so a swapless phone reports hibernate as na
and refuses honestly rather than firing a verb that no-ops. Verbs run through
a Process that logs exit codes and tracks lastAction; refusals log too. The
busctl output is parsed with awk, not a sed regex buried under four escaping
layers -- the sed version returned nothing on the phone and left every
capability stuck at "unknown" (invisible on the laptop, where timing masked
it). Every structured result is JSON-over-string; quickshell maps a var
return to void.
Lock trust: screenLocked (the shell's lock request) is now distinct from
screenLockSecure (WlSessionLock.secure, the compositor's acknowledgement,
mirrored from LockScreen). Cards that disclose personal data gate on secure,
not on a button press. LockContentPolicy centralizes the ambient/personal/
step-up tiers so no card grows its own private rule.
New first-party namespace modules/souveraine/: LockMediaCard, LockSurfaceHost,
SystemGestureRail -- owned surfaces, not ii patches. IdleCoordinator gives one
staged idle vocabulary (dim/lock) gated behind nativeCoordinatorEnabled, off
until the native Wayland idle-notify is verified on the Pixel compositor;
hypridle stays the adapter. WallpaperAssets selects aspect-aware variants for
phone-vs-laptop display shapes.
Pill retired: pill/shell.qml and PillConfig gone, replaced by NavigationConfig
and the gesture rail. Hyprland starts qs -c souveraine directly; no secondary
shell, no qsConfig flip.
Verified on the phone: session.* reports challenge/na correctly, hibernate
and unlock refuse, inhibit round-trips with its reason.
Fork ii's Session singleton and add a sessionctl.* surface.
The IPC bug is the important half. Quickshell marshals exactly five types
(string/int/bool/double/color) and maps a `var` return to VOID, discarding
the payload with no error -- src/io/ipc.cpp, "void and var get mixed by qml
engine". dock.*, shell.* and apps.* were all declared `: var`, so they
registered as `(): void` and returned nothing at all. The {ok, reason}
contract has never once reached a caller. All of them now return JSON as a
string, which is what actually crosses the socket.
Session: upstream fires `systemctl X || loginctl X` detached and throws the
exit code away. Fine on a desktop with someone at the keyboard, not fine on
a phone where the shell is the session manager and a verb that silently does
nothing leaves you believing the machine is suspending when it isn't. So:
probe loginctl/systemctl/hibernate once instead of assuming, run verbs
through a Process that logs the exit code, and refuse honestly when the
machine can't do the thing (the phone has no swap -- hibernate now says so
instead of no-opping). Every upstream verb keeps its name and call sites.
Inhibits carry a mandatory reason and get a cookie; state() lists who is
holding the machine awake and why. "Why didn't it sleep" is now answerable.
unlock() is refused by design -- the lock is the credential gate, so no IPC
caller routes around the PIN pad.
Named sessionctl, not session: ii's SessionScreen already owns "session",
and quickshell drops duplicate targets silently rather than erroring.
Idle: drop the 2>/dev/null and run hypridle through a Process, so a unit
that fails to come back is a log line instead of a flat battery.
Verified on the laptop: inhibit stops hypridle, uninhibit brings it back.
Own config name composed by deploy.sh from our files + pristine-ii dir
borrows; ii tree stays untouched. One SouveraineFamily, two modes gated
on souveraine.phone.
Three guarded IPC surfaces for the agent (via Souveraine's harness, not
a new integration): dock.manifest/pin/unpin/restack, shell.surfaces/state
(layer registry, live-derived), apps.list/get/find/categories (.desktop
scan). Refusals are result shapes, not errors.
Settings app split into per-domain pages (Device/Lock/Dock/Pill/Keyboard).
Config backports (background.widgets, claudeUsage, fileSearch) kill the
laptop TypeErrors.
The OSK is layershell and can't rise above a session lock, so the lock
surface carries its own keypad. Lock state persists to states.json so a
qs crash while locked comes back locked; with lock.launchOnStartup the
lock screen is the greeter (greetd autologins straight into Hyprland).
Keypad gated behind lock.touchKeypad so desktop deploys keep the stock
surface.
