Root cause of two panels rendering full-bleed instead of the 760px column
(breadsearch, breadclip): hint()'s long unwrapped text reported an
unbounded natural width, and CONTENT_MAX_WIDTH is a floor (set_size_request),
not a cap — nothing was actually capping width. hint() and empty_state()
now bound their labels with set_max_width_chars, which stabilizes every
panel's column at a consistent width and left edge for the first time.
service_control(): added a second status line (enabled-at-boot vs
just-running), a confirm dialog on Stop for critical units (breadd — the
whole desktop's event backbone was one accidental click from stopping,
styled identically to optional helpers), and a consistent "Save only
writes the file, Restart applies it" hint on panels that have both a
service and a config file (previously only breadsearch said this, in its
own inconsistent wording).
Consistency sweep: Network's Scan button and empty-state treatment now
match the rest of the app (was full-width where every other secondary
action is auto-width; "not scanned" was a hint while "no results" was an
empty_state card — now both empty_state). breadclip gets an actual "Open
history" action instead of reading as an unfinished stub. breadbox's Save
button pulled out of a mixed row into its own row like every other panel.
Packages list rows now get the same card styling as every other row in
the app.
Panel title now shares view_scaffold's width+center treatment with the
content column, so it actually heads the column instead of sitting ~440px
to its left.
Also: switch widgets had a stray box-shadow/outline/border showing as a
faint ring around the knob, and bread-theme's switch slider color
(@on-surface) was being masked by Adwaita's default gloss background-image
— clearing it reveals the correctly-themed near-white knob against the
dark surface.
New panels: About, Network (Wi-Fi/Ethernet via nmcli), Sound (PipeWire
volume/device via pactl), Date & Time (timedatectl), and Clipboard
(breadclip previously had no bos-settings presence at all despite running
its own daemon).
Layout: every panel now shares one scaffold (6 views were hand-rolling their
own, inconsistently) with a centered, width-capped content column instead of
rows stretching edge-to-edge on a wide window with the control stranded far
from its label. Rows render as individual cards. Sidebar got human labels +
icons + task-based grouping (System/Personalization/Maintenance/About)
instead of raw binary names under "Apps"/"System".
New capability: a shared service_control() widget gives every bread app
backed by a systemd --user daemon (breadd, breadbox-sync, breadcrumbs,
breadmill, breadclipd) live status plus Start/Stop/Restart/View logs —
previously these panels only ever edited a TOML file and hoped the running
process picked it up. breadbar (no systemd unit) gets an equivalent: Save
now actually sends the SIGHUP its own reload mechanism needs, instead of
just claiming to in the hint text.
Fixed two real bugs surfaced while building About: CPU model string kept a
stray leading tab+colon (trim_start_matches was missing '\t'), and GPU
showed "unknown" on hardware whose lspci entry says "Display controller"
instead of "VGA compatible controller".
Local CSS patches (bos-settings/src/theme.rs) for two upstream bread-theme
gaps: suggested/destructive buttons and scale widgets don't clear Adwaita's
default background-image, so flat colour overrides were invisible; and
destructive-action red must not be pywal-derived (it can land on gold
depending on the wallpaper, indistinguishable from a primary action).
The bread/breadpad/breadcrumbs/breadbox views wrote invented schemas
(e.g. top-level log_level, [[profile]] name/ssids) that did not match the
apps' real TOML, so they showed empty and — worse — clobbered the real
config on Save, since the old config::save serialized only the keys it
modelled.
Rework the config layer onto toml_edit: parse each file into a
DocumentMut, mutate only the specific keys a view exposes, and write it
back preserving comments and any unmodelled keys (calendar password,
saved-network passwords, model paths). Unit-tested.
Add ui/widgets.rs (switch/entry/password/dropdown/spin/float/csv rows +
view scaffold + save button) bound to the shared document, then rewrite
the four views against the real schemas with far more coverage:
- bread: [daemon], [lua], [modules], all five [adapters.*] with their
sub-options, [events], [notifications]
- breadpad: [settings], [model] + [model.ollama], [reminders], [calendar]
- breadcrumbs: [settings] (7 keys), [[networks]] editor, [profiles.*] editor
- breadbox: fixed to real [[contexts]] name/priority array editor
Goal: configure everything from the GUI rather than hand-editing TOML.
