+# Shibumi v0.1.1-beta.16.5.1
+
+Hotfix for Omarchy's renamed Appearance menu and for Reactor quotes on Qt 6.12.
+
+## Fixed: Omarchy Appearance menu keys
+
+Omarchy commit `6bee248a3` (2026-10-20) renamed `style.theme` and `style.background` to `appearance.theme` and `appearance.background`. Beta 16.5 rejected that intact stock menu during install, update, repair or migrate (`Omarchy stock menu has no action for style.theme`) and rolled back to the previous installation. This hotfix accepts either key family, overrides the matching host items and keeps the host's native fallback actions. If neither family exists, picker routing is omitted with a warning instead of aborting the transaction.
+
+The regression affects Omarchy master/Edge from that commit onward and any later release that contains it. Omarchy 4.0.4–4.0.6 and 4.5.0-rc1 predate the rename and are not affected. Picker-provider behavior is unchanged.
+
+## Fixed: Reactor quote text on Qt 6.12
+
+On Omarchy 4.0.6's Qt 6.12 stack, arrays delivered through QML signals arrive as sequences rather than JavaScript Arrays. Reactor discarded the quote choices, so quote events showed no text. This hotfix accepts those sequences without changing the renderer's timing or geometry. The settled Bar layout context is normalized once at its signal boundary so provider groups and native sections reach the existing strict validators intact, and Audio stream-label resolution accepts Quickshell's player sequences without dropping entries.
+
+## 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.16.5.1
+./scripts/shibumi-suite install --yes
+```
+
+Update an admitted Beta 16.4 or Beta 16.5 installation from its existing checkout:
+
+```bash
+git fetch --tags
+git checkout v0.1.1-beta.16.5.1
+./scripts/shibumi-suite update --dry-run
+./scripts/shibumi-suite update --yes
+./scripts/shibumi-suite status
+```
+
+The exact Beta 16.5 tag (`8b34d03`) and its main integration merge (`1d7a00b`) are admitted predecessors; older supported identities retain their exact revision and payload checks. 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.16.5.1/docs/install.md). AUR publication remains deferred.
+
+## Validation
+
+Validated on Omarchy 4.0.6 / Quickshell 0.3.2 / Qt 6.12 and against the forward compatibility reference `246f33a2`. The renamed menu was verified against the stock menu file of Omarchy `6bee248a3` in the suite's tests and an offline replay; no live host with that revision was available for this release.
+
+## Known points
+
+Unchanged from Beta 16.5.

 # Changelog
 
+## [0.1.1-beta.16.5.1] - 2026-10-23
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Accept Omarchy's renamed `appearance.theme` and `appearance.background` menu
+  keys while retaining `style.*` support and the host's native fallback actions.
+  Install, update, repair and migrate no longer reject an intact newer stock
+  menu. If neither key family exists, remove stale picker routing and warn
+  rather than aborting the transaction.
+- Restore Reactor quote text on Qt 6.12. Arrays delivered through QML signals
+  arrive as sequences rather than JavaScript Arrays; retain those quote choices
+  instead of discarding them before rendering. Normalize settled Bar layout
+  context at its signal boundary, preserving strict downstream validators, and
+  accept Quickshell's player sequences when resolving Audio stream labels.
+
+### Validation
+
+- The validation host is re-pinned to Omarchy 4.0.6 / Quickshell 0.3.2 (Qt 6.12) with the native catalog reference kept at Omarchy 4.0.4; the collector warm-PSS ceiling is 768 KiB on that stack, and QML fixtures force stderr logging under Qt 6.12. The forward compatibility reference stays `246f33a2`.
