01New USB and Thunderbolt accessories require approval
ErikMelton merged 
acrogenesis's device-authorization proposal into quattro on October 9. The merge records approval by default for new USB and Thunderbolt devices. This is a development-branch merge, with no stable-release event established here. omacom/omarchy#11874
In September 24 background discussion, acrogenesis asked whether blocking should apply while unlocked or only while locked. The current proposal description, edited after coverage, describes default enforcement through USBGuard and Bolt, with choices to allow once, trust permanently or keep blocked. It also documents optional boot protection and warns that USB input can remain unavailable at an encrypted-disk prompt. These details are current context rather than a reconstruction of the October 9 wording. omacom/omarchy#11874:issuecomment-5818637671
02Gliff becomes a default package with a remote-session indicator
dhh proposed and merged Gliff integration into quattro on October 9. The committed change adds the SSH-based Hyprland remote desktop package to new installations and supplies a migration for existing ones. A bar indicator highlights an active Gliff server and exposes the SSH peer address, making remote control visible on the controlled machine. omacom/omarchy#14712
greptile-apps[bot] found that cloned indicator widgets could not refresh through their service proxy; dhh replied with a fix. The final commit also restricts detection to the current user's servers and polls while active because capture-stop events do not reliably identify session termination. Connection notifications were removed, leaving the bar indicator as the signal. omacom/omarchy#14712:discussion_r4229484204
03Snapdragon X and Yoga Slim 7x setup reaches n1x
ryanrhughes merged 
birkskyum's Snapdragon support into the n1x development branch. It adds Qualcomm detection, device trees and firmware setup, Adreno Vulkan support and Yoga Slim 7x configuration. This merge targets n1x rather than quattro or a stable release. omacom/omarchy#14759
Review by greptile-apps[bot] identified packages missing from the offline mirror list. birkskyum added the required entries and tests, and the reviewer confirmed that the gap was resolved. This matters for installations that must complete hardware setup without downloading missing dependencies. omacom/omarchy#14759:discussion_r4233504527
Related commits on the package repository's master branch add Windows firmware extraction and a compatibility shim for Arch Linux ARM kernels that lack the metadata used by mkinitcpio and Limine. The extractor includes handling for partial firmware staging and Windows-specific DSP filenames. omacom/omarchy-pkgs@9ea749835fc0 omacom/omarchy-pkgs@bf0af463eff4
04ARM power-profile package lands while default integration stays open
dhh's CPPC-capable power-profiles-daemon package was committed to the package repository's master branch. It supplies working profile controls for supported ARM policies where the stock daemon offers placeholders. The commit reports N1X Chromium latency improvements from about 130 milliseconds to 56 milliseconds in balanced mode and 32 milliseconds in performance mode; those are author-reported measurements. omacom/omarchy-pkgs@cbded9750315
The companion proposal to make this daemon the Omarchy default opened on October 9 and remained open at the October 19 check. Its current description, edited after coverage, says the package must reach the target channel first. During October 9 review, greptile-apps[bot] flagged a retry path that could skip restarting the daemon or applying a profile after a partially successful migration. That is an evidenced review concern, rather than proof of an unresolved defect in the current revision. omacom/omarchy#14737:discussion_r4231303802
06Input switching adopts Super+I across layouts and input methods
On October 9, dhh reported changing input switching to Super+I, with a compositor binding independent of preserved custom Fcitx shortcuts. Tooltip and keybindings-menu changes were intended to give users one working desktop shortcut. dhh reported a Japanese-selected ISO installation and real keypress tests, while explicitly saying graphical composition validation was still incomplete at that point. omacom/omarchy#14433:issuecomment-6080557737
The proposal subsequently merged into quattro on October 10, outside coverage. Its current description, edited later, connects installer choices to Japanese, Korean and Chinese input engines, offline setup, shared selectors and cycling through mixed keyboard layouts and input methods. This describes the current merged scope, rather than the exact October 9 revision. omacom/omarchy#14433
07Upgrade testing catches wallpaper loss and boot stalls
emirb introduced and merged an upgrade-and-reboot test into the ISO repository's quattro branch. It starts from a signed release ISO and checks the experience of an existing installation moving to edge or rc, including migrations, reboot recovery, desktop startup and wallpaper preservation. 
github-actions[bot] reported an initial 4.0.4-to-edge run with 10 of 11 checks passing and the wallpaper check failing. omacom/omarchy-iso#248:issuecomment-6089979558
A subsequent committed change requires the Omarchy package version to change, preventing a successful reboot with no upgrade from passing as an upgrade test. It also retries competing screenshot-branch pushes. Separately, quattro received the wallpaper-link repair and emirb's boot fix, which prevents systemd from waiting for a console-size response while Plymouth holds the terminal. The reported boot-frequency measurements belong to the commit author. omacom/omarchy-iso@d6a32f0dcf39 omacom/omarchy@187a145ad555 omacom/omarchy@f03bf06742a2
08Nightly workflow builds tested VM images from edge and stable
emirb committed a nightly workflow on quattro that builds edge, tests installation, seals the resulting disk into a VM image and verifies it before publication. A companion change adds VM images made from the latest signed stable-release ISO. This is tooling for existing release and development channels, not evidence of a new stable Omarchy release. omacom/omarchy-iso@d90119f5d8f0 omacom/omarchy-iso@98b20a682954
The final image layout uses a standalone qcow2 file with its own checksum. Another change removes the nightly package cache so missing mirror packages cannot be concealed by leftovers on a runner. ISO builds also now require signatures on Omarchy's own packages instead of accepting unsigned ones. omacom/omarchy-iso@f9d184f2bcc6 omacom/omarchy-iso@f99443dc4c1b omacom/omarchy-iso@f6377d2f872d
11Dictation gains stable Superwhisper tracking and reliable key release
nchudleigh's package change updates Superwhisper to its first stable 1.0.0 release and switches tracking from beta tags to stable releases. That change was committed to the package repository's master branch. omacom/omarchy-pkgs@3e4cb2308ec4
A separate quattro commit fixes push-to-talk recordings continuing after the hold key is released when users have typed, clicked or changed modifiers during recording. The new paired hold binding preserves the release action under those conditions and runs it only after its corresponding press action. omacom/omarchy@54fc12db76fb
