Add a small GLib-backed helper for command stdout that integrates with the main loop instead of blocking on getline() in a worker thread.
The helper keeps the existing child setup semantics used by Waybar commands, including process groups, parent-death signaling, and WAYBAR_OUTPUT_NAME propagation.
This is the foundation for moving long-running custom commands away from manual poll/read logic in the module itself.

A full man<->code consistency audit surfaced options, format placeholders
and CSS classes that were implemented but undocumented, documented but not
implemented (some causing fmt crashes when copied from examples), and
defaults that disagreed with the code. This aligns the docs with the code
and fixes a few genuine code gaps.
Docs:
- Add the missing waybar-user(5) man page (and register it in meson.build)
- Document previously-undocumented options/placeholders/CSS across many
modules (custom image-path/image-name/icon-size, graph_type/width/
datapoints; battery smooth-power; wireplumber format-source/only-physical;
mpris {position}/prefer-album-artist; network {signalStrengthApp}/compact
bandwidth; pulseaudio {source_volume}/{source_desc}; upower {temperature}/
{model}/{native-path}; wwan {power_state}/{imei}; tray ignore-list; and
many CSS state classes: .sink-muted, .source-muted, .workspace-hover, etc.)
- Correct documented defaults to match the code (hyprland format {name},
gamemode {count}, cpu-graph interval 5, cava input_delay 4, niri taskbar
icon-size 16, disk/gps/wayfire formats, menu-actions object type, ...)
- Remove placeholders/options that do not apply (custom-graph {icon}/format/
format-icons/rotate) and fix crashing examples (wwan {mode}, gps
format-no-fix); note cava background/foreground/continuous_rendering are
cava-config-file options
Code:
- bluetooth: accept the documented `controller` key as a synonym of
`controller-alias` (the option was silently ignored)
- mango/workspaces: supply the documented `{name}` fmt arg (was missing ->
fmt::format threw)
- privacy: read `tooltip` as a bool (was guarded on isString(), so the
documented `tooltip: false` was silently ignored)
All man pages validated with scdoc 1.11.4. Not compiled locally (no gtkmm);
C++ build relies on CI.

Adds a per-workspace app-icon taskbar (Workspace class) to the
niri/workspaces module. Rebased onto master: integrated with the
existing window-rewrite feature so the {windows} and {total} format
replacements continue to work alongside the new taskbar.
Rebased onto current master and fixed the privacy module build:
- privacy_item.hpp no longer includes privacy.hpp (it does not use the
Privacy class); this broke the circular include that left PrivacyItem
undeclared when privacy.hpp was reached first from privacy_item.cpp.
- privacy_item.cpp now includes gtkmm/label.h explicitly, since Gtk::Label
was previously only pulled in transitively via privacy.hpp.
The ModemManager libmm-glib library installs its pkg-config file as
mm-glib.pc (not libmm-glib.pc), so dependency('libmm-glib') never
resolved and the nix-flake-check build failed with the wwan module
enabled.
- update(): only hide the module when hide-disconnected is set AND the
modem is not in the CONNECTED state, instead of hiding it unconditionally
(the module was invisible by default).
- free the gchar* returned by mm_modem_dup_physdev/
mm_modem_dup_equipment_identifier/mm_sim_dup_operator_name.
- meson.build: drop duplicate libgps dependency, install the wwan man page.
- man: document hide-disconnected (replacing the unimplemented
hide-failed/hide-disabled/hide-not-registered options).
- remove stray empty subprojects/.wraplock.
Move the UTF-8 visual-width measurement and truncation helper functions
from the mpris module to a common utility
(include/util/utf8_string.hpp and src/util/utf8_string.cpp).
This decouples string truncation and width measurement
from the mpris module, allowing other modules (like mpd) to reuse.
The helper function `utf8_truncate` (formerly `truncate` in mpris)
and `utf8_width` is exported under the `waybar::util` namespace,
while the low-level `measure_and_truncate` (formerly `utf8_truncate`)
is encapsulated in an anonymous namespace in src/util/utf8_string.cpp
to avoid unnecessary API exposure.
No functional changes were made to the mpris module's behavior.
This allows users to use #RRGGBBAA format in their style.css.
The client now detects 8-bit hex codes, transforms them into
GTK-compatible rgba() syntax, and loads the modified data
into the CSS provider.
- Added utility to detect 8-bit hex patterns.
- Added transformation logic to convert hex alpha to decimal.
- Intercepted CSS loading in Client::setupCss to handle the conversion.
There are cases where systemd-logind is not used/running. Result is
that bcklight module will not run.
Add an option that, when set to false, allows backlight module to
work without systemd-logind.
