$100k bug bounties on HackerOne, ThePrimeagen takes Agentic QA, and the linux-omarchy fallout worth checking

Boot pin commit — Omarchy now writes root= into the kernel command line before packages land, closing an upgrade window where an interrupted update could strand you in an emergency shell. In VM testing, a legacy 3.8.0 install lost root= for about 10 seconds during upgrade; the pinned upgrade never does.

Node pin fix — Machines originally installed from an ISO offline kept Node pinned to that exact version, so mise up never moved it; this commit loosens the pin so it can.

Monologue — A first-party webcam and mic recorder now ships in the base packages — hit record and you land in a small editor where clips get cut down before exporting an MP4. A migration adds it to existing machines too, unless you've removed the preinstalls.

Hype — A Markdown presentation app from Omacom now comes with Omarchy by default, alongside Omacut, Monologue, Omacalc and Omawrite, with a new chapter in the manual's GUIs section. Same deal: a migration installs it on machines that still have the preinstalls.

Media keys — Volume, brightness and notification keys are handled inside the shell via Hyprland global shortcuts, dropping the volume OSD wait from about 168ms to about 20ms. Brightness falls to about 31ms; EasyEffects and external-display setups fall back to the old scripts.

Menu latency — Menu and panel bindings now use registered Hyprland shortcuts instead of launching a client per keypress — SUPER+SPACE maps in about 31ms — and the OSD stops sliding in from the corner.

Single sudo prompt — One password prompt per update, right after confirmation, with a background keepalive — and AUR builds deliberately run last and cold, after the authorization is revoked. Passwordless-sudo users are still not prompted, and channel switching has its own prompts left to fix.

linux-omarchy 4.0.4 — Hard-freezes some hybrid-graphics NVIDIA laptops about five seconds after login — the prebuilt nvidia-open driver has no modules for this kernel; boot the stock Arch entry.

linux-omarchy on MacBook — A 2015 MacBook Pro's Radeon dGPU wedges under the Omarchy kernel because Intel IOMMU is enabled by default; add intel_iommu=off to the cmdline and run limine-update.

Waydroid — Both binder drivers are disabled in the Omarchy kernel, so Waydroid never starts and its retry loop burns roughly two CPU cores while flooding the journal.

Update locales — The stay-awake script compares translated stat output against the English word "directory", so French and other locales fail — run LC_ALL=C omarchy update until it's fixed.

Edge channel — The edge repo still ships pre-fix build r2304, so the single-prompt change hasn't landed there — two test runs still asked for the password nine times.
