Panewright 0.6.31

Fixed

• Windows no longer scramble across workspaces after visiting another
  native Space (issue #23). Two engine fixes: the engine now remembers
  which workspace each window lived on when a Space visit hides it from
  Accessibility and gets it garbage-collected, and re-homes it there
  when it reappears (instead of dumping it on the focused workspace);
  and leaving native fullscreen returns the window to its own workspace
  instead of whichever one the fullscreen Space had displaced onto its
  monitor.

Panewright 0.6.30

Fixed

• The engine is no longer restarted for looking stalled from a foreign
  native Space (issue #22): zero managed windows with windows on screen
  is also what a healthy engine looks like while the user visits a
  fullscreen app's Space — AX can't see windows on inactive Spaces and
  the engine garbage-collects them. The stall verdict now stands down
  for two minutes after any native Space change, is vetoed outright
  when a fullscreen window owns the current Space, and needs three
  consecutive ticks — and every held or confirmed verdict logs its
  reasoning and inputs.

Panewright 0.6.29

Fixed

• A display the bar never reports geometry for (hidden by a monitor
  profile, or on a Space that never laid out) no longer traps the
  monitor map in a rebuild-forever loop — the loop that stacked bar
  pollers every tick until SketchyBar stopped answering on 3-monitor
  setups (issue #21). Missing displays are now paired by elimination,
  the geometry poller is single-flight, and a mismatch a rebuild
  couldn't cure backs off instead of refiring every 20 seconds.

• The bar's learned y-offset unit ratio can no longer be poisoned by a
  measurement taken mid-wake or on a dark display (one such reading
  persisted a ratio of 2762.80 and misplaced every future bar); the
  placer now stands down while waking and rejects implausible ratios.

• Deathwatch no longer files a false autopsy when a fast restart boots
  the new instance while the old one is still mid-teardown.

Changed

• Wake recovery is fast now: a dead engine or bar is detected the
  moment the machine wakes (process-existence checks can't be fooled
  by a half-awake system) instead of riding the display-settle
  debounce — lid-open to windows-restored dropped from ~13s to ~2-3s.
  A zombie bar gets its verdict from two quick post-wake probes
  instead of the steady-state three-strike rule.

Panewright 0.6.28

Added

• Deathwatch: when an instance vanishes without a clean shutdown, the
  next launch autopsies it — pulling the system log for the minutes around
  the last heartbeat (via Apple's own log tool, which endpoint security
  doesn't block) and writing anything that smells like a kill, denial, or
  removal into our log. The two-day mystery of silent deaths on managed
  machines gets named by its next occurrence, automatically, inside the
  next bug report.

Panewright 0.6.27

Fixed

• The accessibility-debris problem is fixed at both ends (the root of
  the day's lag, orphaned-at-startup apps, and slow menus). Release builds
  of the engine intercepted no signals, so every ordinary restart killed it
  without removing a single AXObserver — depositing debris inside every
  subscribed app, accumulating until the machine's whole accessibility
  layer crawled. The engine now unsubscribes cleanly on SIGTERM, and app
  registration is time-bounded so even a poisoned accessibility layer
  can't wedge the command server. Measured on the debris-laden machine:
  engine answers went from 10.2 seconds to 15 milliseconds. (Existing
  debris in long-running apps clears when they — or the Mac — restart.)

Panewright 0.6.26

Fixed

• The pinwheels are over — profiled, root-caused, and closed at every
  layer. The menu (and everything else) froze because the engine's server
  had slowed to seconds per answer and the app still made two synchronous
  engine calls on the UI thread. Engine: hidden windows are parked once,
  not re-parked with an AX call on every refresh (dozens of parked windows
  × a slow accessibility layer = 10-second answers, measured). App: the
  fitter's roster and membership reads now serve their cache and refresh in
  the background — the UI thread never waits on the engine, wedged or not.
  Menu interactions also stop rebuilding the open menu (status refreshes
  only notify on real changes). Measured: main-thread blocking frames went
  from 4,657 to 1 in a six-second sample.

Panewright 0.6.25

Fixed

• The bar appears once, fully formed, in the right place. Startup used to
  be visible theater: items bolted on one by one, then the whole bar
  jumped to its corrected position (the display's y_offset unit ratio was
  relearned and discarded every boot). The bar is now born hidden and
  revealed after its first full paint, and the learned ratio persists so
  the emitted geometry is right from birth. Verified across two boots:
  the first learns (one last visible correction), every boot after is
  born in place with zero corrections.

Panewright 0.6.24

Fixed

• Switching native macOS Spaces no longer breaks tiling (issue #18): a
  Space change makes every window on the departed Space invisible to the
  sensing stack, and corrections against that half-visible world caused
  the "unpopulated workspaces / broken tiling" mess. Space changes now get
  the same stand-down as workspace switches, and a one-time notice explains
  the model — Panewright's workspaces replace Spaces; one Space per display
  works best.

Panewright 0.6.23

Fixed

• Restarting the environment no longer multiplies the machinery
  (issue #17). Every restart re-armed the periodic jobs without stopping
  the previous set — three restarts meant three health loops, three orphan
  sweeps, and three display handlers racing each other through workspace
  redistribution: the flicker storms, and windows left stranded off to the
  side, were the app fighting its own clones. Every start is idempotent
  now; restart as often as you like, there is always exactly one of each.

Panewright 0.6.22

Added

• float-secondary-windows (config + Layout tab toggle, off by default):
  any new window of an app that already has one arrives floating — auth
  prompts, OAuth popups and password sheets are usually an app's second
  window even when macOS types them as standard windows. Re-tile keepers
  with $mod+shift+space; the float is the arrival state, not a cage.
