pata

Declarative desktop frame — bars, panels, dock, tray, widgets — portable Linux/Wawa, on Llimphi.

pata is the desktop shell frame: declarative bars/panels/dock, builtin widgets (clock/UTC, brightness, volume, clipboard, system tray, gradient meters, astro), a Quake drawer (shell + AI), a KDE-style task manager, conky-style floating cards and a start menu. It hosts other apps as "teeth" via pata-host, and runs portable across Linux compositors and the Wawa kernel.

How dependencies work

Front-door repo: only pata-* crates here. Llimphi and everything foundational (the optional AI drawer via pluma-llm, networking via chasqui, shell exec via shuma) are git-dependencies of the tawasuyu monorepo.
