bos-settings moves to git.breadway.dev/Breadway/bos-settings (full history preserved via git-filter-repo) so its release cadence is decoupled from BOS's own. breadhelp takes its place as this repo's workspace member: a GTK4 onboarding/help center replacing the old bos-welcome/bos-keybinds bash scripts with searchable guides, an interactive keybind viewer (sourced from the new keybinds.toml, not parsed out of hyprland.lua or hardcoded), a troubleshooting wizard with one-click fixes, and a proper first-run tour. bos-netcheck extracts bos-welcome's network-check half, which still needs to run every login independent of breadhelp's own first-run gating. hyprland.lua's keybinds/settings/monitors/autostart are now JSON-driven (binds.json/settings.json/monitors.json/autostart.json) with every loader pcall-wrapped and falling back to hardcoded defaults per field on bad or missing config, so bread* apps (bos-settings' new editors, and breadhelp's keybind viewer) can read/write this config without ever being able to leave the compositor unable to start. CI's package.yml now builds breadhelp instead of bos-settings on tag push; bos-settings needs its own equivalent workflow in its new repo (not yet set up).

Arch packaging
breadhelp/PKGBUILD builds and installs breadhelp from source — BOS's
onboarding + help center, and the only first-party pacman package still built
from this repo.
bos-settings is also pacman-packaged and served from the same [breadway]
repo, but its source lives in its own repo now (~/Projects/bos-settings,
github.com/Breadway/bos-settings) so a bos-settings release doesn't require
a BOS ISO release.
Everything else the bread ecosystem ships (breadbar, breadbox, breadpad, ...)
is bakery-managed, not pacman-packaged — see build-local.sh.
Local build
cd breadhelp && makepkg -si
Before publishing to [breadway] repo
CI (.forgejo/workflows/package.yml) handles this on tag push (vX.Y.Z): it
bumps pkgver, archives the repo into the expected tarball name, and runs
makepkg. To do it by hand instead:
- Tag a release on GitHub (
vX.Y.Z). - Update
pkgverinbreadhelp/PKGBUILDto match the tag. - Update
sourceto the release tarball URL. - Run
updpkgsums(or manually setsha256sums).
