+# 0.1.1-beta.16.2
+
+Beta.16.2 fixes workspace animation stutter, defers premature centre-layout
+changes after reveal/rebuild, and fixes Health and AI collector handling.
+
+## Fixes
+
+- Workspaces: the workspace animation stutters since Beta 16 (#73). Paint subtrees are now created only for the active workspace style; the focus animation renders 11–13 real frames per switch again (4–6 in 16.1), style switch cycles are 29–41 % faster and bar switch cycles 11–14 % faster on our fixture. The rest images of all styles stay identical to 16.1 at DPR 1; at DPR 1.6 only glyph rasterisation differs by at most 4/255 on text pixels, and the numbers style now sits at its geometrically correct position (up to 1 physical pixel).
+- Centre group: the responsive stage (clock / clock+weather / clock+date+weather) could be decided with a stale host budget right after a bar reveal or a rebuild, briefly showing the date or hiding the weather. The decision is now deferred while the status group's spacing savings are still pending or the host budget is stale.
+- Status group: the 1–2-frame undershoot of the status icons right after a bar rebuild (spacing savings applied one frame late) no longer triggers a wrong centre stage.
+- Health: `shibumi-health` no longer reports plugins as "modified" because of `__pycache__`/`.pyc` files in the plugin directory (#74). The payload digest now ignores them, like the installer does.
+- AI: the agents usage updater waits up to 300 s instead of 120 s for the Omarchy collectors. Large Codex session histories (tens of GB) made the Codex collector exceed 120 s, so the Codex card vanished from the AI panel after 24 h.
+- Tests: the notification adapter smoke test no longer races its timer (the test that made one release job red in 16.1).
+- Bar: the bar's fallback colours now reference the palette as `Commons.Color`, as Omarchy requires for Qt 6.12, where an unqualified `Color` resolves to the new QtQuick type (basecamp/omarchy #14553).
+- Bar: the hidden-bar probe accepts Omarchy's upcoming `bar-hidden` toggle marker next to the current `bar-off` (basecamp/omarchy #14395).
+
+## Known issues
+
+- Rings style: right after a bar rebuild (reload, V1/V2 switch, workspace count change) the focus ring can be drawn about 6 px off for a single frame (16 ms); on our fixture this happened in up to every second rebuild in the standard layout and in 1 of 10 in the full layout. It is a build-time animation ordering effect and will be fixed with the host layout redesign in 0.2.0.
+- Notch bar at DPR 1.6 with the numbers or kanji style: the centre group can oscillate between two layouts for a while after a layout change. This exists since 16.1 (status spacing feedback) and is also addressed by the 0.2.0 redesign.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+The 24-plugin suite and transactional installation model are unchanged, retaining the Omarchy and Omarchy Settings `4.0.4-1`, Omarchy `v4.0.4` source, and Quickshell `0.3.1-1` pins.
+Runtime validation used Qt 6.11.2; Qt 6.12 is not yet validated.
+
+## Install and update
+
+For a new source installation, use the published release tag:
+
+```bash
+sudo pacman -S --needed python jq curl networkmanager power-profiles-daemon upower xdg-utils libnotify wl-clipboard ttf-material-symbols-variable ttf-jetbrains-mono-nerd-basic noto-fonts-cjk adwaita-fonts
+git clone https://github.com/HANCORE-linux/Shibumi-Shell.git
+cd Shibumi-Shell
+git checkout v0.1.1-beta.16.2
+./scripts/shibumi-suite install --yes
+```
+
+Update an admitted Beta.16.1 installation from its existing checkout:
+
+```bash
+git fetch --tags
+git checkout v0.1.1-beta.16.2
+./scripts/shibumi-suite update --dry-run
+./scripts/shibumi-suite update --yes
+./scripts/shibumi-suite status
+```
+
+The exact Beta.16.1 tag (`3b35049`) and release merge (`65c8d8bf`) are admitted
+predecessors. Older supported identities retain their exact revision and
+payload checks; an arbitrary checkout with the same version is not admitted.
+Do not install or update from `main`, or delete lifecycle state to bypass
+admission. See the [installation and recovery guide](https://github.com/HANCORE-linux/Shibumi-Shell/blob/v0.1.1-beta.16.2/docs/install.md).
+AUR publication remains deferred.
+
+## Downgrade warning
+
+**Downgrade:** Beta.15.4 and older cannot read V1 layouts with parked widgets
+(`order.parked`). They reset V1 order, roles and splits to defaults; other
+settings and V2 stay. `uninstall --keep-settings` does not prevent this.
+Back up `~/.config/omarchy/shell.json` and `~/.local/state/shibumi/` before a
+downgrade. Details: [Backup before downgrade](https://github.com/HANCORE-linux/Shibumi-Shell/blob/v0.1.1-beta.16.2/docs/install.md#backup-before-downgrade).

+- Centre group: the responsive stage (clock / clock+weather / clock+date+weather) could be decided with a stale host budget right after a bar reveal or a rebuild, briefly showing the date or hiding the weather. The decision is now deferred while the status group's spacing savings are still pending or the host budget is stale.
+- Status group: the 1–2-frame undershoot of the status icons right after a bar rebuild (spacing savings applied one frame late) no longer triggers a wrong centre stage.
+- Health: `shibumi-health` no longer reports plugins as "modified" because of `__pycache__`/`.pyc` files in the plugin directory (#74). The payload digest now ignores them, like the installer does.
+- AI: the agents usage updater waits up to 300 s instead of 120 s for the Omarchy collectors. Large Codex session histories (tens of GB) made the Codex collector exceed 120 s, so the Codex card vanished from the AI panel after 24 h.
+- Tests: the notification adapter smoke test no longer races its timer (the test that made one release job red in 16.1).
+- Bar: the bar's fallback colours now reference the palette as `Commons.Color`, as Omarchy requires for Qt 6.12, where an unqualified `Color` resolves to the new QtQuick type (basecamp/omarchy #14553).
+- Bar: the hidden-bar probe accepts Omarchy's upcoming `bar-hidden` toggle marker next to the current `bar-off` (basecamp/omarchy #14395).
+
+### Known issues
+
+- Rings style: right after a bar rebuild (reload, V1/V2 switch, workspace count change) the focus ring can be drawn about 6 px off for a single frame (16 ms); on our fixture this happened in up to every second rebuild in the standard layout and in 1 of 10 in the full layout. It is a build-time animation ordering effect and will be fixed with the host layout redesign in 0.2.0.
+- Notch bar at DPR 1.6 with the numbers or kanji style: the centre group can oscillate between two layouts for a while after a layout change. This exists since 16.1 (status spacing feedback) and is also addressed by the 0.2.0 redesign.

 ## Recorded evidence and outstanding gates
 
 | Gate | Evidence and boundary |
 | --- | --- |
-| Complete source contract | Passed on `9f1fc90`, exit 0 in 637.634 seconds, complete marker, no retry or timeout. Fresh exact-HEAD source; private staged validation passed separately. |
-| Isolated Quattro lifecycle | Passed on the same exact HEAD, exit 0, 32/32 generations in 108.747 seconds; no retry or timeout. |
-| Retained runtime paths | Historical Beta.13 → Beta.14.1 package arm (5), fresh checkout (6), Beta.15 (7), Beta.15.2 (7), and rolling frozen Beta.16 → candidate (7). Payload, layout, keep-settings, reinstall, and delayed readbacks passed; owned fixtures were cleaned. |
-| Status spacing | Private same-render V1/V2 fit × DPR 1/1.6 × update 13/0 × drawer absent/present: all 16 outer-gap cases match `69ea4da`; inner gaps and count spacing retain `deeca9b`. Neighbors move by whole physical pixels. Bell glyph and point RGBA are exactly translated in all 42 main and supplementary comparisons, including G3 in the V1 center at DPR 1.6. |
-| Bluetooth and Update input | `deeca9b`'s any-controller power/display/completion fix and whole-widget Update button are byte-identical. Their controlled QML checks are not physical multi-controller, rfkill, or desktop input acceptance. |
-| Diagnostics | Retained fixture diagnostics match the accepted reference, including the known VisualTokens color-assignment warning and six PillSurface teardown TypeErrors; not warning-free. No new diagnostic class or native type/reference/binding error was accepted. |
-| Live installation and hardware | Separate reviewer live status-spacing measurement remains outside these private fixtures. Multi-controller/rfkill, persistence, real focus/menu/input, physical multi-output and 1366px acceptance are not supplied here. |
-| Release/package verification | At this pre-checksum snapshot, dated changelog, two reproducible archive builds, AUR metadata/checksum commit, clean-HEAD source review and rehearsal, final 14-gate collector, matching rebuild, and publication verification remain pending. Final external evidence must identify their exact combined commit. |
-
-The historical package arm is not a Beta.16.1 installed-package upgrade proof.

+| Core18c image acceptance | Completed in relay round 373: 10,308 first-activation points, plus matrix, edge, raster-phase and named N10 programs; 13 individual first-activation exceptions were expressly accepted. Qualified text-raster differences reach 4/255; this is not a global tolerance or blanket pixel equality. |

Six higher individual bar medians (0.33–7.13 ms, overlapping sample ranges) were accepted. Focus has 11–15 changed buffers over the full event, but 9–13 within 200 ms; the accepted target is the full event. No scanout claim. |
+| Separate compatibility patches | Minimal palette and marker patches passed private smokes with Qt 6.11.2. They were not part of the unchanged Core18c image/performance inputs; no Qt 6.12 runtime acceptance. |
+| Live installation and hardware | Keep-settings installation and reviewer live acceptance must be recorded separately. Fixtures do not establish physical multi-output, hardware, credential or real desktop input acceptance. |
+| Release/package verification | Reproducible archive, checksum agreement, clean-commit gates and rehearsal, independent review, full collector and remote verification remain separate publication requirements. |
