fix: parked-divider recovery, editor drag persistence, and placeholder re-resolve (#978, #980, #923, #981, #983) - #979
Conversation
…#978) #978's divider parks offscreen during ordinary use and never recovers. Two gates starved the existing recovery: - The parked test read the leading edge alone. Hiding a section expands H_ctrl into an offscreen-reaching spacer, so the leading-edge check cannot tell a stranded divider from a healthy collapsed one. The recovery now requires both edges off every display (LayoutSolver.isFullyOffScreen), which also stops it from ever reading a working spacer as parked. - recoverParkedHiddenDividerIfNeeded only ran for .savedOrder applies, so profile-sourced applies - Layout-editor drags, cmd-drag re-sorts - never advanced the streak on exactly the cycles where a user kept displacing or exposing the divider (#978's moveHiddenDivider=false correlation). Every apply source now feeds it; the rebuild is still withheld while a cmd-drag is live so the status item is not recreated under an open drag session. shouldMoveHiddenDivider is untouched: with both sections populated the per-item plan stays correct, and the repair routes through the rebuild recovery instead of flipping that predicate back into #958's full-bar drags.

…923) The Layout editor drag path was the one caller still handing a parked control divider straight to move(). When the target section is collapsed, its divider expands into an offscreen-reaching spacer whose leading edge sits at minX -9189, so .leftOfItem(AH_ctrl) targets a click point around -9190. The synthetic drag yanks the on-screen item offscreen and macOS snaps it back, every attempt, until the 8-attempt budget runs out and the user sees a generic "operation could not be completed" alert. howardhey's 21 August log on #923 shows exactly this shape against AH_ctrl, and hoppo-chan's "same problem" comment confirms a second user hitting it after the issue was closed as completed. #923's closure (feefcaa) kept anchored move *planning* off Thaw's own dividers in the bulk apply path. The editor's liveFallbackDestinationForDraggedItem and primary leftOf/rightOf paths were never covered. Refuse the drag up front when the destination target is a control item whose leading edge is offscreen, the same condition the apply path's isOnScreen skip uses (#899/#978). Show an actionable alert naming the collapsed section instead of burning eight attempts and surfacing a generic error. The next cache pass re-reads the bar; nothing is left stuck. A test pins the detection against the #923 log's geometry: an AH_ctrl at minX=-9189 with the 10000-wide concealment spacer reads offscreen to the leading-edge check the guard uses.

…ble (#981) LayoutBarItemView bakes in its placeholder image once, at init, from item.sourceApplication?.icon ?? item.owningApplication?.icon, falling back to the generic "menubar.rectangle" symbol when neither app is launchable yet. The view is reused across cache refreshes whenever the item's identity is stable (MenuBarItem equality includes sourcePID), so when the lookup returned nil at init because the owning app was mid- launch, the generic symbol stays for the life of that view even after the app is running and its icon could have been read. Re-resolve lazily in drawPlaceholder: when the placeholder did not come from a resolved app icon, try the app icon again before drawing, once. A flag stops the lookup repeating on every draw once an icon is in hand. This is the narrow, no-behavioral-risk piece of #981. It only changes what a failing cell looks like when the app icon was momentarily unreadable at init; it never affects whether a capture runs, and it cannot regress #759's rate-limit discipline. The broader bubble causes (SCK capture failing during display-topology churn, and the rate-limited SkyLight offscreen refresh) need a dock/undock soak before landing.

No regression on this machine, with two scope limits worth stating before the numbers.
First limit: Against the issues previously closed in this area:
Phase 1 classified 216 times: 215 at The one mismatch is worth detail, because it contradicts what I reported from the rc.5 soak. There I found the parked state only at a display transition. This time it arrived without one: The nearest relocation was 09:10:48, 4h46m earlier, and the next was 15:44:07. So the trigger here was a windowID-change bulk apply on a settled display, which is the case #979 widens recovery to reach. That is an argument for the change rather than against it. It still cleared without help, though, so I have no evidence about the recovery path itself. Discard two readings before they mislead. Happy to re-soak on a CI build of all four commits if you cut one, which would also put the two LayoutBar changes under the same run. I can dock and undock deliberately to force relocations rather than waiting on ordinary use, if that is more useful than a passive soak. |
#978) The recovery added in 09d0361 never ran once across three hours and four launches of #978's follow-up log: `remained parked through` appears zero times. Two gates made it unreachable in exactly the state it repairs, and a third let the rebuild reinstate the fault. - The recovery ran only under `hiddenBoundaryMismatch > 0`, but a divider can strand while the visible/hidden boundary is consistent. #978's failing cycle logs `hiddenBoundaryMismatch=0` alongside `parked offscreen`. It now takes a trigger rather than the raw count, and an apply refused upstream counts as evidence the bar needed the divider. - The zero-width guards in applySavedLayout and applyProfileLayout return before Phase 1 computes the mismatch at all, so a strand deadlocked: stranded, section reads zero width, apply refused, mismatch never computed, streak never advances. One launch produced 17 `parked offscreen` and 24 `zero width` warnings and not a single `Phase 1:` line. Both guards still refuse - nothing plans against an untrustworthy reading (#868) - but a stranded divider now counts the refusal. - Phase 1 cleared the streak whenever the mismatch was zero, which on a stranded-but-consistent bar was every cycle. It now clears only once the divider is not stranded, on the same both-edges test the recovery arms on, so the two agree about a healthy collapsed bar. The rebuild's stored-position handling gains a third branch. Keeping the stored position on a populated bar is right whenever that position still orders the dividers (#958/#895), but #978's did not: macOS had autosaved `Hidden = 6866` against `AlwaysHidden = 1034`, putting H_ctrl left of AH_ctrl. "Keeping its stored position" restored the value that stranded the divider, which is why a relaunch stopped clearing the strand and the app came up already stranded, first layout line 0.4s after startup. An inverted position is now replaced with one between the two chevrons; ordering is all the rebuild restores, and the follow-up apply still walks the divider to the saved boundary.

…ofile write (#978, #980) The AH_ctrl placement had no parked-anchor guard. #978's reporter traced their strand to this path rather than to the visible/hidden boundary repair: the move anchored on ControlItem.Hidden while H_ctrl sat at minX=-3596, the drag walked H_ctrl to -9322, and the pair came out inverted with the hidden section reading zero width. MoveDestination.leftOfItem derives its drop point from the target's minX, so an anchor whose leading edge is off the display gives a drop point that is too - the same failure the Thaw-icon relocation guard already refuses. The placement now declines and lets the per-item fallback place the items: more moves, nothing stranded. #980's mass hidden->alwaysHidden re-sectioning arrives through the same placement, which drags AH_ctrl across a whole run and re-sections every item it crosses; that log has 2 of its 5 placements anchored on ControlItem.Hidden while H_ctrl sat at -7879 or further out. persistProfileStateOnSuccess is separately hardened. It is the one write to savedSectionOrder that never consulted shouldPersistSavedOrder, and "success" there means the apply reached an uncancelled exit, not that the moves landed - so an apply that logged `planned move(s) left unenacted` a few lines earlier still committed its section order. That is the same withhold reasoning as #900. The pinning sets still commit: they are the profile's own declaration, not a reading of the bar. This is hardening, not a diagnosis of #978's reported data loss. That report contrasts rc.5 ("my saved order was never overwritten") with build 53 (hidden 29 -> 20 -> 17 entries), but nothing between those builds touches persistence, and persistSavedSectionOrder has four callers of which two are inapplicable without a profile or a reset. The likelier reading is that the successes were miscounted: the success line is "Saved section order changed", which does not contain the "saveSectionOrder" token the report tallied refusals by. #980's log shows exactly that shape - 12 successes alongside 71 refusals - so the ordinary gated save is the writer there, recording a bar the strand had already re-sectioned.

) A Layout-editor drag from Hidden to Visible worked for the session but never reached savedSectionOrder, so the next launch reverted it. The save-gate cooldown exemption for user moves never armed in time. The old ordering in LayoutBarPaddingView.move: move() // stamps lastMoveOperationTimestamp (5s cooldown ON) stabilizePlacement() // its cache pass hits the save gate if stabilize returned true { recordExternalMoveOperation() } // too late stabilizePlacement's own cacheItemsRegardless is the first pass that could persist the drag, and it reaches the save gate while the 5s move cooldown is active and lastUserMoveOperationTimestamp is still nil, so saveCooldownExemptForUserMove returns false and the save is skipped. By the time the exemption arms, the mid-transition cache gate (midTransitionSection, #851) has re-armed from the divider animation and no accepting pass coincides with the cooldown window. The drag never saves. The reporter's 20k-line log shows exactly one save (the initial populate) and every drag after it blocked by cooldown or mid-transition. Record the user move right after move() returns (no throw), before stabilizePlacement. move() succeeded, so the user's drag did land; the rescue-and-retry catch block still owns the case where macOS didn't settle it. The same reorder is applied to the rescue-and-retry retry path for consistency. The .suppress branch of the failure classifier already calls recordExternalMoveOperation() unconditionally (the move visibly worked despite verification failure), so it is unchanged.

Short run, and it does not exercise the fix. Both limits up front.
First limit: this build is commit 6 of 7. Second limit, and the one that matters for this PR: the parked state never occurred, so the recovery path in That is three builds in a row now where the parked state either did not occur or cleared on its own before recovery could run.

A single AllowsBetaUpdates flag returned ["alpha", "beta"] together, so there was no way to take release candidates without also taking the rewrite. Alpha is not a riskier build of this app; it is a different app built against a macOS this one does not support. That makes it a feed rather than a channel, and not only by preference. Sparkle's allowedChannels can only widen what an updater accepts: an item with no sparkle:channel is on the default channel, and per SPUUpdaterDelegate "the default channel is always included in the allowed set". No return value keeps stable releases away from a subscriber, so a track that must not receive them cannot be a channel at all. Alpha now overrides feedURLStringForUpdater: instead; beta stays a channel, which is what channels are for, and stays cumulative with stable because it has to. Alpha is offered only from the macOS the rewrite targets. The threshold moves to MacOSCompatibilityWarning.firstUnsupportedMajorVersion, shared with the startup alert that already tells the user support for that release arrives through this channel, so the version that raises the warning is the version that reveals the channel. A stored alpha is not honored below it either, or a user who moved back to a supported macOS would sit on a feed that never offers them anything. Subscribers to the superseded flag migrate to beta, not alpha: they opted into a setting that predated the rewrite, and enrolling them in it unasked would swap the product out from under them. The alpha feed URL is a placeholder derived from SUFeedURL by analogy and needs confirming before the channel is advertised. Also carries two Layout-editor fixes from review. The collapsed-section alert interpolated section.logString, which already ends in "section", so it read "The hidden section section is collapsed"; it now uses displayString, and both of that alert's strings gain catalog entries they never had, having rendered English-only in localized builds. And the placeholder icon re-resolved in 32ce777 was assigned to the stored property while the local binding drawn from still held the generic symbol, so the swap waited on an unrelated redraw; it is drawn in the same pass now. The changelog gains entries for every fix landed since the 2.0.0 (53) bump. release.yml reads the section matching the release tag as the release notes, so #978, #980, #983 and #923 would otherwise have shipped undocumented. CHANGELOG.md also carries prose edits to the 2.0.0 section made outside this work. Signed-off-by: René Jiménez <diazdesandi@proton.me>

Bound unsuccessful icon lookups.
When the lookup returns nil, placeholderResolvedFromApp remains false. Every later drawPlaceholder call repeats the sourceApplication and owningApplication lookups. A placeholder for an unavailable app can therefore perform repeated resolution work during normal redraws.
Add a retry cooldown or trigger a bounded retry from an application or cache notification. Keep the flag false after a failed lookup so later resolution remains possible.

Use targetItem.liveBounds for the offscreen check.
performDragOperation obtains the destination from frozen arrangedViews, so targetItem.bounds can be stale. If the divider moves after the snapshot, LayoutSolver.isOnScreen can evaluate incorrect geometry and allow an offscreen destination. Pass targetItem.liveBounds instead.

Do not cache the Control Center icon as the resolved application icon.
On macOS 26, owningApplication is always Control Center, while sourceApplication identifies the application that created the item. For an .unresolvedControlCenterPlaceholder with no source application, Lines 441-442 can therefore select Control Center's icon. Lines 445 and 450 then cache and draw it, preventing a later retry after the source application becomes available.
Restrict the owner fallback to non-Control Center placeholders. Apply the same rule in makePlaceholderImage and drawPlaceholder.

unresolvedControlCenterPlaceholder items without a sourceApplication, do not
resolve, cache, or draw the owning application’s Control Center icon, allowing a

Summary
Fixes for the parked-offscreen-divider failure family and the Layout editor's persistence bug:
moveHiddenDivider=falseuntil quit/relaunch. Three gates starved the recovery; this PR fixes all three, hardens the AH_ctrl placement against an offscreen anchor, and withholds an unverified profile write.move(). The synthetic drag yanks the on-screen item offscreen, macOS snaps it back, eight attempts fail, and the user sees a generic "operation could not be completed" alert. [Bug] Drag icon operation could not be completed #923 was closed as completed but the reporter never stopped hitting it, and a second user confirmed it.LayoutBarItemViewbakes its placeholder icon in at init and never re-resolves, so an owning app that was mid-launch at init leaves the generic symbol permanently for that view instance.savedSectionOrder, so the next launch reverts it. The save-gate cooldown exemption for user moves never armed in time.persistProfileStateOnSuccesswithholds when the apply left planned moves unenacted.Scope: five bug fixes plus a cosmetic one, with tests, no logged-string format changes, so the log-replay harness stays valid.

#978: reach a stranded divider from any state
Three gates made the recovery unreachable in exactly the state it repairs, plus a fourth let the rebuild reinstate the fault. All fixed:
hiddenBoundaryMismatch > 0, but a divider can strand while the visible/hidden boundary is consistent. [Bug] Hidden divider parks offscreen and never recovers: Phase 1 reports moveHiddenDivider=false on every parked cycle #978's failing cycle logshiddenBoundaryMismatch=0alongsideparked offscreen. The recovery now takes a trigger rather than the raw count, and an apply refused upstream counts as evidence the bar needed the divider.applySavedLayoutandapplyProfileLayoutreturned before Phase 1 computed the mismatch at all, so a strand deadlocked: stranded, section reads zero width, apply refused, mismatch never computed, streak never advances. Both guards still refuse (nothing plans against an untrustworthy reading, [Bug] Hidden section collapses to zero width after docking to an external main display with a notched secondary #868), but a stranded divider now counts the refusal.LayoutSolver.isFullyOffScreen). The old leading-edge check cannot tell a stranded divider from a healthy collapsed bar, because hiding a section expands H_ctrl into a 10000-wide spacer whose frame reaches far offscreen while its trailing edge stays beside the visible section..savedOrderapplies. Profile-sourced applies never advanced the streak. The rebuild is withheld whileisDraggingMenuBarItemis set.shouldMoveHiddenDivideris untouched. With both sections populated, per-item moves remain the correct plan; the fix routes through the rebuild instead of flipping that predicate back into the full-bar drags #958 removed.#980 / #978: refuse an offscreen AH_ctrl anchor and withhold an unverified profile write
The AH_ctrl placement had no parked-anchor guard.
MoveDestination.leftOfItemderives its drop point from the target's minX, so an anchor whose leading edge is off the display gives a drop point that is too. The placement now declines and lets the per-item fallback place the items: more moves, nothing stranded.persistProfileStateOnSuccessis separately hardened: it is the one write tosavedSectionOrderthat never consultedshouldPersistSavedOrder, and "success" there means the apply reached an uncancelled exit, not that the moves landed, so an apply that loggedplanned move(s) left unenactedstill committed its section order. The pinning sets still commit; they are the profile's own declaration, not a reading of the bar.#923: refuse editor drags onto a parked-offscreen divider
The editor drag path was the one caller still handing a parked control divider straight to
move().LayoutBarPaddingViewnow checks the destination up front: if the target is one of Thaw's own control items and its leading edge is offscreen (the sameisOnScreencondition the apply path uses for #899/#978), it refuses the drag, logs the reason, and shows an actionable alert naming the collapsed section. It does not burn the eight-attempt budget or surface a generic error.#981: re-resolve an item's app icon for the placeholder bubble
LayoutBarItemViewbakes its placeholder image in once, at init. The view is reused across cache refreshes whenever the item's identity is stable, so when the lookup returned nil at init because the owning app was mid-launch, the generic symbol stayed for the life of that view.drawPlaceholdernow re-resolves lazily: when the placeholder did not come from a resolved app icon, it tries the app icon again before drawing, once. This is the narrow, no-behavioral-risk piece of #981; the broader bubble causes (SCK capture failing during display-topology churn, and the rate-limited SkyLight offscreen refresh) need a dock/undock soak and are out of scope.#983: persist cross-section editor drags across restarts
recordExternalMoveOperation()was called only afterstabilizePlacement()returned, so the first cache pass inside stabilize hit the 5s move cooldown with no user-move exemption, the save was skipped, and by the time the exemption armed the mid-transition cache gate had re-armed. The drag never saved. The user move is now recorded right aftermove()returns (no throw), before stabilize, so the save-gate exemption is armed when stabilize's cache pass reaches it. The rescue-and-retry retry path is reordered the same way. The.suppressbranch of the failure classifier already recorded unconditionally and is unchanged.PR Checklist

The #983 fix in particular needs one editor-drag session (Hidden to Visible, then quit and relaunch) to confirm the save survives restart, and #978's recovery needs a notched-display soak. Neither has been reproduced against a live build yet.
Known limitations / follow-ups
move()returns without throwing, even ifstabilizePlacementlater finds the item didn't stick and runs rescue-and-retry. In the reporter's log every drag landed on attempt 1, so the common path is unaffected; the risk is a partial-failure edge where a partially-settled drag could be persisted. The rescue-and-retry catch block still owns the failure alert.Other information

One pinsshouldMoveHiddenDivider == falsefor #978's exact counts (40 concealed / 1 visible) so a future fix cannot "simplify" this by reintroducing the full-bar drag. Another pins that an AH_ctrl at minX=-9189 with the 10000-wide concealment spacer reads offscreen to the leading-edge check the editor guard uses (#923's log geometry).Summary by CodeRabbit
