The rule that grants the greeter user authorization for
org.freedesktop.login1.{reboot,power-off} lived only in the moonarch
repo and was never installed by any PKGBUILD. On a fresh install the
reboot/shutdown buttons silently failed because greetd's greeter
session is inactive in logind and polkit denies inactive sessions by
default.
Move the rule into the moongreet source tree where it belongs and
ship it via moongreet-git.

## 2026-04-21 – Ship polkit rule in moongreet instead of moonarch (v0.8.3)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Who**: ClaudeCode, Dom
|
||||
- **Why**: Reboot/shutdown from the greeter silently failed on a fresh install. The polkit rule that grants the `greeter` user `org.freedesktop.login1.{reboot,power-off}` lived in the moonarch repo but was never installed by any PKGBUILD. The laptop worked only because the rule had been hand-deployed once.
|
||||
- **Tradeoffs**: Rule ownership moves from moonarch (system defaults) to moongreet (greeter-specific auth). Cleaner boundary — moonarch no longer needs to know about the greeter's auth requirements — but it means moongreet is now responsible for a system polkit rule that ties it to a fixed username (`greeter`).
|
||||
- **How**: Source file moved to `moongreet/config/polkit/50-moongreet-power.rules`, installed to `/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/` by `moongreet-git/PKGBUILD`. Old file removed from the moonarch repo.

4. Install the polkit rule so the greeter user can reboot / power off:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
sudo install -Dm644 config/polkit/50-moongreet-power.rules \
|
||||
/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/50-moongreet-power.rules
|
||||
```
|
||||
Without this rule, `loginctl reboot` / `loginctl poweroff` fail because
|
||||
greetd's greeter session is inactive in logind.
