Docs:
- Baseline was stated as 0.3.1 across the canonical set while the branch,
Cat 0/1 crates and every Cat 2 fork are 0.3.2. AGENTS.md also cited a
sources/redbear-0.3.1/ archive that does not exist; the only archive
present is sources/redbear-0.1.0/. Versioning examples now match the
forks as they actually stand (redoxfs/syscall 0.9.1, libredox 0.1.19).
- Repaired 18 instances of 'immutable archived' across 8 documents, where
a global find/replace had turned sync/synced/archived into that phrase
and produced ungrammatical text ('never auto-immutable archived',
'### Source immutable archived').
- Settled the apply-patches.sh contradiction empirically. Both sides were
wrong: the GROSS WARNING blocks (x5) described it as routine
patch-linking, and SCRIPT-BEHAVIOR-MATRIX.md said build-redbear.sh
'never invokes' it. It is invoked at build-redbear.sh:487, but only to
auto-repair a failed verify-overlay-integrity.sh check.
- Dropped the dangling reference to a local/AGENTS.md section
'NO OVERLAY-STYLE PATCHES — SCOPED POLICY' that does not exist.
Build system:
- mk/prefix.mk hardcoded 13.2.0 in the limits.h removal, which silently
no-ops after a toolchain upgrade and leaves the conflicting header.
Version-globbed.
- Parameterized GCC_RECIPE so the from-source toolchain path is not
pinned to gcc13.
- The three cstdlib strtold seds were not idempotent -- the shipped GCC
13 toolchain carried that comment block 17 times from repeated
'make prefix' runs. Each is now guarded.

redbear-notifications — D-Bus Interface
Bus: session
Well-known name: org.freedesktop.Notifications
Object paths:
/org/freedesktop/Notifications— Notifications server
Interface: org.freedesktop.Notifications
Methods
| Method | Signature | Description |
|---|---|---|
Notify |
(app_name: s, replaces_id: u, app_icon: s, summary: s, body: s, actions: as, hints: a{sv}, expire_timeout: i) → (u) |
Create or replace a notification. Returns notification ID. If replaces_id is non-zero and matches an existing notification owned by the same sender, the record is updated in-place. Maximum 1024 active notifications. |
CloseNotification |
(id: u) → () |
Close a notification by ID. Emits NotificationClosed signal with reason 3 (closed). |
GetCapabilities |
() → (as) |
Returns ["body", "body-markup"] |
GetServerInformation |
() → (ssss) |
Returns ("Red Bear Notifications", "redbear", "0.3.1", "1.2") |
InvokeAction |
(id: u, action_key: s) → () |
Invoke an action on a notification. Validates: (1) caller is the notification owner, (2) the action key was declared at notify time. Emits ActionInvoked signal, then removes the notification. |
Properties
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
Idle |
b |
Always false (idle tracking not implemented) |
Signals
| Signal | Signature | Description |
|---|---|---|
NotificationClosed |
(id: u, reason: u) |
A notification was closed. Reason: 1=expired, 2=dismissed, 3=closed. |
ActionInvoked |
(id: u, action_key: s) |
An action was invoked on a notification. |
Notification Lifecycle
-
Creation (
Notify): A notification record is stored with owner (sender bus name), action keys, expire timeout, and issue timestamp. Monotonically increasing IDs starting from 1. Ifreplaces_idmatches an existing record, that record is updated; otherwise a new record is created. -
Expiry (background sweeper, 500 ms interval): Notifications with
expire_timeout > 0are checked againstissued_at + expire_timeout. Expired notifications are removed andNotificationClosed(1)is emitted. Notifications withexpire_timeout <= 0never expire. -
Action invocation (
InvokeAction): Validates sender ownership and action key. EmitsActionInvoked, then removes the notification and emitsNotificationClosed(2). -
Close (
CloseNotification): Removes the notification and emitsNotificationClosed(3). -
Sender vanishing (background reaper, 2 s interval): Every 2 seconds, the daemon queries
org.freedesktop.DBus.NameHasOwnerfor each tracked sender. If a sender has vanished from the bus, all its notifications are removed andNotificationClosed(2)is emitted for each. -
Bound enforcement: When the active notification count exceeds 1024, the oldest notification (by insertion order) is evicted and
NotificationClosed(2)is emitted.
Action Format
The actions parameter is a flat string array of alternating key-label pairs:
["default", "Open", "reply", "Reply"]
The daemon extracts keys (every even-indexed element) and validates InvokeAction against them.
