WayRun v0.8.0

Added

• The resident core's disk-backed caches have a lifecycle. Source/Live
  watches the roots behind the app list, the $PATH scan, the icon chain and
  the window icons, bumps an epoch when one changes, and rebuilds on the next
  query; a synchronous consumer still reads the last snapshot without touching
  the filesystem. An installed application, a new $PATH executable, a theme
  install or a [icon] theme edit no longer waits for a restart. Access events
  are ignored and a rebuild never runs inside the notify callback.
• An external host's identity is re-resolved when its executable's
  (mtime, size) stamp moves, and the configured executables are watched, so
  editing a script updates its name, icon and ready hint live. Results were
  already fresh: the host forks per call.
• c and w list their content — the clipboard history and the open
  windows — instead of the identity card. A default view revalidates its burst
  cache before answering, because the shell redraws only on the next query
  change and a stale-while-revalidate answer would leave the first show one
  fetch behind.
• A path query needs no keyword: ~/Project, /etc/hosts or
  Project/WayRun is one row for the existing path, and otherwise the typed
  directory's entries matching the last component are listed. Only the typed
  directory is read, the listing is capped, and an exact hit leads. f/d
  keep their file/directory filter.
• A plain query no provider answers lists the first $HOME level, one
  readdir, so a partial name still finds the directory it starts with
  without walking the home.
• Tab completes the last /- or space-separated component from the visible
  rows: it grows to the candidates' common prefix, else takes the selected
  row, replacing only that component. It is off during IME preedit and while
  the action panel is open.
• A desktop entry's actions launch through GLib's
  g_desktop_app_info_launch_action, so DBusActivatable (an action with no
  Exec at all), Path=, Terminal= and the field codes are GLib's; the
  hand-expanded Exec remains the fallback. Nested ids (foo/bar.desktop)
  resolve.
• Terminal actions prefer $TERMINAL, then xdg-terminal-exec, then the
  built-in emulator table, and the action's directory becomes the helper's
  working directory.
• theme.toml's [layout].panel_header sets the action panel's header band
  height, 28 by default.

Changed

• Breaking: config.toml, plugins.toml, theme.toml and the Lua plugin
  directory now live under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/wayrun, and state.db under
  $XDG_STATE_HOME/wayrun (migrated automatically from the old location). A
  user who sets XDG_CONFIG_HOME must move the three files and the plugin
  directory there. The cache follows dirs::cache_dir, and the socket and its
  lock require an absolute $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR; a missing value is an error, not
  a shared /tmp fallback.
• The default [font] family is the generic sans-serif, resolved by
  cosmic-text per machine, instead of a named family.
• The README carries measured warm and cold query latencies, with the full
  per-provider table and the method folded into a details block.
• Local release builds use thin LTO and the default codegen units; the
  shipped binary keeps fat LTO and one codegen unit, set by the CI and release
  workflows.
• The large modules are split by concern — the surface, plugin registry, file
  provider, icon cache, executor's terminal handling, theme config and Lua
  host — with no behaviour change.

Fixed

• The POSIX and freedesktop audit batch: a detached sh or gio no longer
  inherits the JSON-RPC pipe, a helper is bounded by a 2 s deadline, a host
  command resolves like execvp, XDG config dirs and relative data dirs are
  honored, flatpak user exports and flat pixmaps resolve, ShowItems gets its
  URI list first, an action honors Exec/Path/Terminal, and the cache,
  state, config and kv directories are created 0700.
• Launched children get SIGPIPE back to its default; an ignored disposition
  survives exec and Rust ignores it.
• The remaining desktop and process edge cases: nested ids resolve, an empty
  %i icon is dropped, ~user stays unresolved, sqlite temporaries are
  per-process, a cross-device rename falls back to copy, the IPC client fails
  on an error reply, accepts back off, the instance lock is taken before
  Wayland, and a dead core exits 1 instead of looking like a clean dismiss.
• Localisation follows GLib's order — LANGUAGE first, ignored for a C base
  locale — and the session's original LANGUAGE is handed to launched apps
  rather than the launcher's pinned UI locale.
• The help usage placeholder and the window workspace summary are translated,
  not inline English.
• Program resolution checks the exec bit, as execvp does.
• The fallback walk follows user-dirs.dirs, including localized and moved
  Desktop/Documents/Downloads.
• An unset, empty or separator-only XDG_DATA_DIRS means the spec default,
  and the flatpak user export path is built from $XDG_DATA_HOME.
• ~/.icons precedes the system icon roots, matching the Icon Theme spec's
  legacy location.
• Clipboard history skips entries whose id is not numeric, and the copy
  pipeline runs without a nested shell wrapper.
• Path completion resolves each typed parent component case-insensitively,
  after trying it exactly.
