+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
+Format based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/).
+
+## [0.1.1] - 2026-03-28
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Use absolute paths for all system binaries (`systemctl`, `loginctl`, `niri`, `moonlock`) to prevent PATH hijacking
+- Implement `POWER_TIMEOUT` (30s) via `try_wait()` polling — previously declared but unused, leaving power actions able to block indefinitely
+- Prevent panic in `load_background_texture` when GResource path contains non-UTF-8 bytes — now falls back to known wallpaper resource
+- Fix fallback user UID from `0` (root) to `u32::MAX` as a safe sentinel value
+- Fix CSS comment incorrectly describing circular buttons as "square card"
+
+### Changed
+
+- Compress wallpaper in GResource bundle (`compressed="true"`) to reduce binary size
+- Merge double `idle_add_local_once` into single idle cycle for faster keyboard focus on launch
+- Centralize `GRESOURCE_PREFIX` as `pub(crate) const` in `main.rs` (was duplicated in `config.rs`, `users.rs`, and literal strings in `panel.rs`)
+- Translate README.md and config comments from German to English
+- Remove stale `journal.md` (one-time development notes, not actively maintained)
+
+## [0.1.0] - 2026-03-27
+
+### Added
+
+- Rust rewrite of the Python power menu (gtk4-rs + gtk4-layer-shell)
+- 5 power actions: Lock, Logout, Hibernate, Reboot, Shutdown
+- Inline confirmation for destructive actions (all except Lock)
+- Multi-monitor wallpaper support via shared `gdk::Texture`
+- DE/EN localization with automatic locale detection
+- TOML configuration for custom wallpaper path
+- GResource bundle for CSS, wallpaper, and default avatar
+- Async power actions via `glib::spawn_future_local` + `gio::spawn_blocking`
+- Async avatar loading (file-based avatars decoded off UI thread)
+- Cached icon loading at startup
+- 45 unit tests

 ## Design Decisions
 
+Siehe `DECISIONS.md` für das vollständige Entscheidungsprotokoll.
+
+Kurzfassung der wichtigsten Entscheidungen:
 - **OVERLAY statt TOP Layer**: Waybar liegt auf TOP, moonset muss darüber
 - **Niri-spezifischer Logout** (`niri msg action quit`): Moonarch setzt fest auf Niri
 - **Einmal-Start per Keybind**: Kein Daemon, GTK `application_id` verhindert Doppelstart
 - **System-Icons**: Adwaita/Catppuccin liefern alle benötigten symbolischen Icons
 - **Lock ohne Confirmation**: Lock ist sofort reversibel, braucht kein Confirm
-- **Icon-Scaling**: 22px Theme-Variante laden, auf 64px skalieren via GdkPixbuf
-- **GResource-Bundle**: CSS, Wallpaper und Default-Avatar sind in die Binary kompiliert
-- **Async Power Actions**: `glib::spawn_future_local` + `gio::spawn_blocking` statt raw Threads
+- **Absolute Pfade für Binaries**: `/usr/bin/systemctl` etc. statt relativer Pfade (Security)
+- **GResource-Bundle**: CSS, Wallpaper (komprimiert) und Default-Avatar sind in die Binary kompiliert
+- **Async Power Actions**: `glib::spawn_future_local` + `gio::spawn_blocking` mit 30s Timeout

+# Decisions
+
+Architectural and design decisions for Moonset, in reverse chronological order.
+
+## 2026-03-28 – Use absolute paths for system binaries
+
+- **Who**: Hekate, Dom
+- **Why**: Security audit flagged PATH hijacking risk — relative binary names allow a malicious `$PATH` entry to intercept `systemctl`, `loginctl`, etc.
+- **Tradeoffs**: Hardcoded paths reduce portability to non-Arch distros where binaries may live elsewhere (e.g. `/sbin/`). Acceptable because Moonarch targets Arch Linux exclusively.
+- **How**: All five power action wrappers now use `/usr/bin/` prefixed paths.
+
+## 2026-03-28 – Implement power action timeout via try_wait polling
+
+- **Who**: Hekate, Dom
+- **Why**: `POWER_TIMEOUT` and `PowerError::Timeout` were declared but never wired up. A hanging `systemctl hibernate` (e.g. blocked NFS mount) would freeze the power menu indefinitely.
+- **Tradeoffs**: Polling with `try_wait()` + 100ms sleep is slightly less efficient than a dedicated timeout crate, but avoids adding a dependency for a single use case.
+- **How**: `run_command` now polls `child.try_wait()` against a 30s deadline, kills the child on timeout.
+
+## 2026-03-28 – Centralize GRESOURCE_PREFIX
+
+- **Who**: Hekate, Dom
+- **Why**: The string `/dev/moonarch/moonset` was duplicated in `config.rs`, `users.rs`, and as literal strings in `panel.rs` and `main.rs`. Changing the application ID would require edits in 4+ locations.
+- **Tradeoffs**: Modules now depend on `crate::GRESOURCE_PREFIX` — tighter coupling to main.rs, but acceptable for an internal constant.
+- **How**: Single `pub(crate) const GRESOURCE_PREFIX` in `main.rs`, referenced everywhere else.
+
+## 2026-03-28 – Remove journal.md
+
+- **Who**: Hekate, Dom
+- **Why**: One-time development notes from the Rust rewrite, never updated after initial session. Overlapped with memory system and git history.
+- **Tradeoffs**: Historical context lost from the file, but the information is preserved in git history and the memory system.
+- **How**: Deleted. Useful technical learnings migrated to persistent memory.
+
+## 2026-03-27 – OVERLAY layer instead of TOP
+
+- **Who**: Hekate, Dom
+- **Why**: Waybar occupies the TOP layer. The power menu must appear above it.
+- **Tradeoffs**: OVERLAY is the highest layer — nothing can render above moonset while it's open. This is intentional for a session power menu.
+- **How**: `setup_layer_shell` uses `gtk4_layer_shell::Layer::Overlay` for the panel window.
+
+## 2026-03-27 – Lock without confirmation
+
+- **Who**: Hekate, Dom
+- **Why**: Lock is immediately reversible (just unlock). All other actions (logout, hibernate, reboot, shutdown) are destructive or disruptive.
+- **Tradeoffs**: One less click for the most common action. Risk of accidental lock is negligible since unlocking is trivial.
+- **How**: `ActionDef.needs_confirm = false` for lock; all others require inline confirmation.
+
+## 2026-03-27 – Niri-specific logout via `niri msg action quit`
+
+- **Who**: Hekate, Dom
+- **Why**: Moonarch is built exclusively for the Niri compositor. Generic Wayland logout mechanisms don't exist — each compositor has its own.
+- **Tradeoffs**: Hard dependency on Niri. If the compositor changes, `power::logout()` must be updated.
+- **How**: `Command::new("/usr/bin/niri").args(["msg", "action", "quit"])`.
