History / Troubleshooting

Revisions

  • Correct outdated wiki claims and trim history Windows lacks keyboard/mouse/brightness/power-adapter/login-manager/tpm; Windows phys-mem, phys-disk, memory and DNS are native, not PowerShell; How-It-Works mode lists match src/fields.rs; runtimes are measured, not old budgets; missing modules added; COPR and benchmark workflow text matches the current triggers. Dropped Troubleshooting sections for bugs fixed before v0.12 and the misleading AUR-registration banners. Development-Setup keeps its rules and drops the incident narratives (NOTES.md section 7 has them). Assisted-By: Claude Opus 5.5

  • Document RETCH_TIMING and proc_tree (v0.19.1) Also correct audio.rs on Windows: it reads the registry, not wmic. Assisted-By: Claude Opus 5.5

  • Packaging is rendered at publish time; a release needs no bump The AUR PKGBUILD, the COPR spec and the Homebrew formula are now templates carrying @VERSION@/@SHA256@, rendered by scripts/render_packaging.py at publish time. Updates the recipe table, the AUR and COPR sections, the guard descriptions and the release sequence, and replaces the 'cd packaging/aur && makepkg -si' local-install instruction with 'just aur-local' -- makepkg refuses a templated pkgver.

  • Correct the duplicate-Net entry; document win_iftable The Troubleshooting entry added yesterday blamed the duplicate Net line solely on sysinfo listing NDIS filter instances. That was half of it: both lines also rendered as the active interface because the active interface was matched by substring against the rendered line, which is a cross-platform defect (eth0 matches eth0.100) and was not mentioned. Adds a second entry for a third defect in the same block: standard mode printed no Net line at all when the active interface could not be resolved, because its fallback tested for a literal "[Up]" that a colourised line never contains. All three are fixed in v0.11.1.

  • Document disk-io and net-io on Windows Both fields gained Windows arms in v0.11.0: IOCTL_DISK_PERFORMANCE and GetIfTable2, with no subprocess and no elevation. Records the NDIS filter-instance duplication that shapes the net-io implementation - GetIfTable2 reports an adapter once per bound filter, each repeating its counters - and adds a Troubleshooting entry for the same duplication still visible in the Net field, which reads a different source and is not fixed yet.

  • Document wrapped-line colour, separator and width v0.9.3 fixes three defects in what happens to a field line that wraps. - How-It-Works: new Wrapping subsection (separator kept at the break, colour re-opened on continuation lines). Corrects the Placement table, which said the text column governs wrap width — beside-logo lines now wrap to `logo column - 2`, matching below-logo lines, which already used the full terminal width. - Troubleshooting: new entry covering all three symptoms, including the note that a value read from a pre-0.9.3 build may be missing a separator at a line break — that one changed the data, not just its appearance.

  • Document right-margin logo placement and column-based width The logo is anchored to the terminal's right margin in side-by-side mode (v0.9.2), and layout widths are measured in terminal columns rather than characters so double-width glyphs in field values stay aligned. - How-It-Works: new Placement and Measuring width subsections under Logo rendering — the text column and logo column are separate numbers, the stacked fallback threshold, and why placement is logo-type agnostic. - Troubleshooting: new entry for a logo that floats mid-terminal or a row misaligned by wide characters, plus what a deliberate stacked fallback looks like. - Workspace-Architecture: document plan_layout/compose_side_by_side_row and fit_logo_cells, the unicode-width dependency, and the shadowed-closure bug that motivated extracting the row composition. Dropped the hardcoded retch-sysinfo version from a heading — it had gone stale at v0.1.31 (actual v0.1.56) and pinning it there only guarantees it goes stale again.

  • docs: restructure wiki to match etr's page structure/tone Adds Getting-Started.md, How-It-Works.md, Troubleshooting.md, and Compared-to-fastfetch-and-neofetch.md (new pages, sourced from README.md/NOTES.md — no invented facts). Restyles Home.md and Configuration-and-Theming.md to match etr's wiki structure and tone (vibe-coded disclosure, wiki-pages nav table, table-driven config reference). Cryptography.md has no retch equivalent (no crypto model) and is intentionally not mirrored. Assisted-By: Claude Sonnet 5
