Worse, `mpv` was kept on the host *only* for the streamlink-launches-mpv path, and `thunderbird` was being pulled in as a hard dep of external-editor-revived even though it was never the mailer actually used. Untangle both. Thunderbird ----------- * dot_config/sway/executable_tb-toggle.sh, dot_config/sway/executable_tb-autostart.sh: swap `thunderbird` → `flatpak run org.mozilla.thunderbird`. The `app_id` matcher in sway config already targets the flatpak id, so the scratchpad-stash and Super+t toggle keep working unchanged. * etc/pacman.conf: add `AssumeInstalled = thunderbird=999.0-1`. external-editor-revived (AUR) hard-depends on `thunderbird`; this satisfies the dep without installing the package. Run `sudo pacman -Rns thunderbird` after deploy to remove the now-unneeded system binary. * meta/base.txt: document the AssumeInstalled trick next to the external-editor-revived entry. mpv --- * dot_config/streamlink/config: `player=mpv` → `player=flatpak run io.mpv.Mpv`. The flatpak already pulls in our ~/.config/mpv via the read-only filesystem override (see run_onchange_after_deploy-flatpak-overrides.sh.tmpl), so behavior is unchanged. * dot_local/bin/executable_linkhandler: same swap for inline video URLs. * dot_local/bin/executable_mpv: deleted. The wrapper only existed to bwrap /usr/bin/mpv into _sandbox-net-parser; flatpak's own sandbox supersedes that. * dot_local/bin/executable__sandbox-net-parser, dot_local/bin/executable_streamlink: comment refresh — mpv is no longer one of the tools this wraps, and the streamlink wrapper now forwards to the flatpak player rather than nested-bwrap caveats. * meta/base.txt: drop `mpv` from the host package list and update the surrounding comment. README.md: refresh the media row of the stack table to match.

Using sway's native scratchpad solves both: the __i3_scratch workspace is filtered automatically. We run 'floating disable' right after 'scratchpad show' so the window lands tiled on the current workspace, preserving the intended UX. 2026-05-13T12:43:17Z sommerfeld sommerfeld@sommerfeld.dev 2026-05-13T12:43:17Z urn:sha1:9f3b9f1dcc756dd94192da090388c1aa90320d23 get_tree's workspace nodes don't carry a .focused field (only con nodes do), so current_ws was empty and the script emitted a malformed swaymsg command. get_workspaces exposes .focused directly on each workspace. 2026-05-13T12:43:16Z sommerfeld sommerfeld@sommerfeld.dev 2026-05-13T12:43:16Z urn:sha1:0426222d312a2e1fa9632bb8b14ced8eee75fcae Scratchpad is inherently floating; the user wants the main TB window to tile normally when shown and disappear completely when hidden. Park the main window on a hidden workspace _tb via for_window, then toggle it with a small swaymsg+jq script that moves it between _tb and the currently focused workspace. Child windows (compose, viewer, calendar, prefs) are unaffected and tile wherever they spawn. - Autostart thunderbird so the window exists on login, parked on _tb. - Hide _tb from waybar's workspace list. - Update KEYBINDS.md.
