-#+TITLE: Collapsible waybar sides — implementation spec
-#+AUTHOR: Craig Jennings & Claude
-#+DATE: 2026-06-19
-
-* Goal
-Let each side of the waybar collapse to a minimal base set with a click, and
-expand again with another click. Each side carries a small arrowhead that points
-toward the screen edge when expanded (click to collapse outward) and flips to
-point toward center when collapsed (click to expand). Left and right collapse
-independently.
-
-This is dotfiles work (=~/.dotfiles=, =hyprland/= tier). Tracked by the
-=Collapsible waybar sides= task in archsetup =todo.org=.
-
-* Decisions (locked 2026-06-19)
-- *Mechanism*: config-swap + =killall -SIGUSR2 waybar=. NOT state-file + CSS —
-  the spike proved CSS can't collapse native modules (they go invisible but hold
-  their space; GTK3 has no =display:none=). See [[file:spike-findings.org]].
-- *Right base set*: =custom/date=, =custom/worldclock=, =tray= (plus the right
-  arrow). Tray reflows cleanly and survives the reload (spike-confirmed).
-- *Left base set*: =custom/menu=, =hyprland/workspaces= (plus the left arrow).
-- *Per-side*: left and right toggle independently, each with its own arrow.
-- *Per-host*: host-agnostic. The base set is constant; the full set is whatever
-  each host's config already defines. ratio (no battery/touchpad/airplane) needs
-  no special-casing — collapse hides whatever modules that host has. Build once.
-
-* Architecture
-
-** The active-config indirection (the core piece)
-=~/.config/waybar/config= is a stow symlink into the dotfiles, so the toggle
-can't rewrite it in place (that would edit the repo). Instead:
-
-1. *Canonical* config: the committed dotfiles config. Always holds the FULL
-   module arrays. Read-only source of truth. Unchanged by this feature except
-   for adding the two arrow modules and their definitions.
-2. *Active* config: a generated copy at =$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/waybar/config=. This is
-   what waybar loads (=waybar -c=). The toggle rewrites its =modules-left= /
-   =modules-right= between full and base.
-3. *Launch change* (hyprland.conf exec-once): before launching waybar, generate
-   the active config from the canonical (initial state = expanded/full), then
-   =waybar -c "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/waybar/config" -s <style>=.
-
-The style.css stays shared (canonical, stowed) — only the config (module arrays)
-needs the runtime copy.
-
-** Toggle scripts
-=waybar-collapse <side>= where side ∈ {left, right}:
-1. Read per-side state from =$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/waybar/<side>.state= (expanded |
-   collapsed; absent = expanded).
-2. Flip it.
-3. Regenerate the active config's =modules-<side>= array:
-   - expanded → the canonical full array for that side.
-   - collapsed → the base set for that side (constant in the script) with the
-     arrow module included.
-4. Write the new state file.
-5. =killall -SIGUSR2 waybar=.
-
-The full array is read from the canonical config each time, so the script never
-loses it and stays correct as modules are added/removed upstream. The base set is
-the only constant the script hardcodes (or reads from a tiny sidecar).
-
-** Arrow modules
-Two custom modules, =custom/arrow-left= and =custom/arrow-right=, each an exec
-script (=waybar-arrow left= / =waybar-arrow right=) that:
-- Reads the side's state file.
-- Emits the glyph: expanded → points outward (left side ◀ toward left edge,
-  right side ▶ toward right edge); collapsed → points inward (left ▶, right ◀).
-- =on-click= runs =waybar-collapse <side>=.
-
-The arrow is always in the base set (it's the expand control), so it's present in
-both states. Place the left arrow as the LAST module in =modules-left= (innermost,
-nearest center) and the right arrow as the FIRST module in =modules-right=
-(innermost), so each arrow sits at the inner edge of its side and the collapse
-pulls outward away from it. (Confirm placement during implementation — the glyph
-direction and module order must agree so the arrow visually points the right way.)
-
-** State + reload
-- State dir: =$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/waybar/= (per-boot, ephemeral — collapse state
-  resets on logout, which is fine).
-- Reload is =SIGUSR2= (full waybar reload). Cost: brief flicker, module state
-  resets, tray re-registers. Acceptable for a click action; spike confirmed tray
-  survives. This cost is per-toggle, never idle.
-
-* Files (all in =~/.dotfiles/hyprland/=)
-- =.local/bin/waybar-collapse= — the toggle (reads canonical, writes active,
-  signals). New.
-- =.local/bin/waybar-arrow= — the arrow module exec (state → glyph + class). New.
-- =.local/bin/waybar-active-config= — generates the active config from canonical
-  at login (used by exec-once and reused by waybar-collapse to resolve the full
-  arrays). New. (Or fold generation into waybar-collapse + a one-shot init call.)
-- =.config/waybar/config= — add =custom/arrow-left= / =custom/arrow-right= module
-  defs + place them in the arrays. Edit.
-- =.config/hypr/hyprland.conf= — exec-once: generate active config, then
-  =waybar -c "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/waybar/config"=. Edit.
-- Optional keybinds: =$mod+[= / =$mod+]= to collapse left/right without the mouse.
-
-* TDD plan (per the dotfiles suite)
-- =tests/waybar-collapse/=: full↔base array rewrite against a fixture canonical
-  config; expanded→collapsed→expanded round-trips to the original arrays; state
-  file flips; base set always includes the arrow; SIGUSR2 sent (fake killall).
-  Use a fake canonical config + temp =$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=, fake killall on PATH
-  (same harness style as tests/waybar-toggle).
-- =tests/waybar-arrow/=: state → correct glyph + class for each side and state;
-  missing state file = expanded glyph (fail-safe).
-- JSON validity of the generated active config (parse it back).
-
-* Open / to-confirm during implementation
-- Exact arrow glyphs (nerd-font triangles) and that order-vs-direction agree.
-- Whether to keep =hyprland/window= (the title) out of the left base set — it's
-  long and variable-width; collapsing the left should drop it (it's not in the
-  base set, so it hides — correct).
-- Animation: none (waybar doesn't animate width; the collapse snaps). Accepted.
-
-* Risks
-- Reload flicker on every toggle. Mitigation: none needed unless it annoys in use.
-- If a future module is added to the canonical config, it lands in the full set
-  automatically (good) but the author should decide if it belongs in a base set.
-- $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR active config must exist before waybar starts; the exec-once
-  ordering must generate it first. waybar-toggle (the crash-relaunch path, mod+B)
-  must also point at the active config, not the canonical — update it to match.

-#+TITLE: Collapsible waybar — spike findings (mechanism)
-#+DATE: 2026-06-18
-
-* Question
-Which mechanism actually collapses a waybar side to a base set, given the right
-side is a mix of native modules (group/sysmonitor, pulseaudio, pulseaudio#mic,
-idle_inhibitor, tray) and custom exec modules?
-
-* Method
-Two transient waybar instances against /tmp copies of the live config, captured
-with grim (live bar briefly down, restored after). Variants in this dir:
-- spike-style-csshide.css : option (c) — CSS-hide the native modules
-  (min-width:0; padding:0; margin:0; opacity:0) on #sysmonitor #pulseaudio
-  #idle_inhibitor.
-- spike-config-collapsed.json : option (b) — modules-right rewritten to the base
-  set [tray, custom/date, custom/worldclock].
-
-* Result
-- *CSS-hide (option c): FAILS.* sysmonitor and pulseaudio rendered invisible but
-  held their space — a gap remained where they were, no reflow. GTK3 has no
-  =display:none=, and opacity/zero-size leaves the label's intrinsic width. The
-  right side ends up ragged and half-collapsed, not narrowed. Not viable for the
-  native modules.
-- *Config-swap (option b): WORKS.* The collapsed config reflowed the right side
-  tight to tray + date, everything else fully gone, no gaps. Hides native and
-  custom modules alike. Tray icons survived the swap.
-
-* Decision
-Mechanism is config-swap + =killall -SIGUSR2 waybar= (reload), NOT the state-file
-+ CSS approach the original task leaned toward. The original "heavy" label on
-option (b) is the cost of a full reload (brief flicker, module state resets, tray
-re-registers) — acceptable, and the only approach that actually collapses a mixed
-module set.
-
-* Implications for the spec
-- Don't maintain two static configs (drift-prone). A toggle script rewrites the
-  active config's modules-left / modules-right between the full set and the base
-  set, then SIGUSR2. Base sets defined once; collapsed set is the base set, full
-  set is restored from the canonical module list.
-- Per-side state in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR; the arrow module reads it to pick its
-  direction. Arrow lives IN the base set (always visible, it's the expand control).
-- Reload cost is per-toggle, not idle — fine for a click action.
