ChonkStep 0.2.0 preview packages (r3)

ChonkStep 0.2.0 preview r3 is the recommended alpha build for Omarchy.

Why upgrade

• Includes the IPC disconnect fix from r2. Closed hyprctl probes and event subscribers can no longer survive as permanently readable hangup descriptors and pin a CPU core. The reproduced failure dropped from 1,560 event-loop passes/sec and 99% of one core to normal idle behavior.
• Moves text shaping to cosmic-text 0.19 and maintained harfrust.
• Adds the complete nested desktop test to CI: Chromium and terminals, window geometry/input, Omarchy themes/menu/bar, lock, gamma/hyprsunset, Hyprland IPC, protocols, workspaces, session restore, and crash supervision.
• Hardens the release pipeline with native x86_64/AArch64 builds, package inspection, pinned Actions, RustSec, strict Clippy/rustdoc, and GitHub provenance attestations.
• Makes hardwareless Chromium testing reliable through its supported SwANGLE software GLES backend.

Install

chonkstep_dir="$(mktemp -d)"
chonkstep_arch="$(uname -m)"
chonkstep_pkg="chonkstep-0.2.0-3-$chonkstep_arch.pkg.tar.zst"

curl -fL -o "$chonkstep_dir/$chonkstep_pkg" \
  "https://github.com/iconidentify/chonkstep/releases/download/preview-v0.2.0-r3/$chonkstep_pkg"
curl -fL -o "$chonkstep_dir/SHA256SUMS" \
  "https://github.com/iconidentify/chonkstep/releases/download/preview-v0.2.0-r3/SHA256SUMS"
(cd "$chonkstep_dir" && sha256sum --ignore-missing --check SHA256SUMS)
sudo pacman -U "$chonkstep_dir/$chonkstep_pkg"
omarchy install desktop-chonkstep

Then reboot and choose chonkstep (Wayland) in SDDM. Hyprland remains installed.

Supported package architectures are x86_64 and aarch64. The AArch64 package is built natively against Arch Linux ARM; upstream Omarchy does not yet provide an official ARM64 installation.

Downloading before pacman -U is intentional on systems whose pacman configuration requires repository-style signatures for remote URLs. This preview uses the published checksum and GitHub build provenance:

gh attestation verify "$chonkstep_dir/$chonkstep_pkg" --repo iconidentify/chonkstep

This remains an alpha/prerelease distribution path.
