Lock Screen Explorer v1.9.6

Lock the session the moment your security key is pulled out, and light the dark lock screen by plugging it back in.

Before you upgrade to v1.9.6

3 to fix

Pick your boot screen again in the explorer so it is rebuilt with the per-display layout, then reboot; a boot screen applied before updating keeps the old layout.

Update to v1.9.5 or later: while root copied a staged boot screen directory, a subdirectory swapped for a symlink mid-copy could pull root-only files into the world-readable theme directory; the theme now reaches root as one archive that is checked and unpacked in a root-owned directory first.

What changed in v1.9.6

Two off-by-default rows under Security key in Settings, `Lock when the key is removed` and `Wake when the key is inserted`, also set with `omarchy-shell lock setLockOnKeyRemoval on` and `omarchy-shell lock setWakeOnKeyInsert on`. The custom, snapshot, clip and Terminal boot screen generators give each display its own slice of the Plymouth canvas, and `apply.sh` hands root one tar file instead of a directory.

Also: Key presence is rechecked after suspend; boot screens lay out per display on two displays of different shapes; boot themes reach root as one checked archive, and a rotation set up before v1.9.5 asks for its one-time setup again.

v1.9.6, with v1.9.5 as the archive handoff alone; update with `omarchy plugin update io.github.sirjul1337.lock-explorer && omarchy restart shell`. The key settings appear once a security key is set up and turned on in Settings.

Fixed and improved

Settings gains `Lock when the key is removed` and `Wake when the key is inserted` under the Security key row, both off by default and acting only on the key itself, not on other HID devices; also `omarchy-shell lock setLockOnKeyRemoval on` and `omarchy-shell lock setWakeOnKeyInsert on`.

ImprovedUnlock the screen with a FIDO2 security key, with or without its PIN.

A key unplugged while the session slept is no longer counted as present after wake; the hotplug watcher runs for the whole lock, a failed round waits for the device list to settle before it is counted, and a key plugged back in is offered again to an empty field even after switching to the password.

On two displays of different shapes, each display now gets its own slice of the canvas in the custom, snapshot, clip and Terminal boot screens, instead of the last-drawn background covering both; single display unchanged, and untested on a real two-display boot, so #38 stays open.

Now worksGive the disk decryption passphrase screen at boot the same look as your lock screen.
