+# 0.1.1-beta.16.3
+
+## Fixes
+
+- Workspaces: hovering a workspace no longer enlarges it. The hovered workspace now changes colour instead (the theme's `color03`; if the bar colour itself is `color03`, a lighter bar ink is used), with one uniform 120 ms transition in the default, numbers, magic, kanji, rings and aurora styles. The pacman style keeps its 16.2 behaviour.
+- Network widget: in V1 the network icon now follows the bar colour like every other widget instead of fixed tones.
+- Picker: the search field of the theme, wallpaper and media pickers is readable in every theme (12 px text in a visible input field; contrast 7:1 to 21:1 across the shipped themes, previously down to 1:1 on light themes).
+- Picker: themes without a preview image are listed again (with a placeholder), and the list is sorted alphabetically across all theme roots like `omarchy-theme-list`.
+- Status group: a pending spacing update can no longer be cleared early by a synchronous re-schedule.
+- Status and centre groups: embedded widgets (update centre, tray, centre) no longer disappear after switching to the stock Omarchy bar and back (needed a reload before).
+- Tests: the two reveal-budget and lazy-paint regressions from 16.2 now run in the repository test suite.
+- Compatibility: the forward-compatibility baseline is pinned to Omarchy `50d687a1` (2026-10-08) with a reproducible generator script; the 4.0.4 installation pins are unchanged.
+
+## Known issues
+
+- Rings style: right after a bar rebuild (reload, V1/V2 switch, workspace count change) the focus ring can be drawn about 6 px off for a single frame (16 ms). It is a build-time animation ordering effect and will be fixed with the host layout redesign in 0.2.0.
+- Notch bar at DPR 1.6 with the numbers or kanji style: the centre group can oscillate between two layouts for a while after a layout change. This exists since 16.1 (status spacing feedback) and is also addressed by the 0.2.0 redesign.
+
+## Install and update
+
+For a new source installation, use the published release tag:
+
+```bash
+sudo pacman -S --needed python jq curl networkmanager power-profiles-daemon upower xdg-utils libnotify wl-clipboard ttf-material-symbols-variable ttf-jetbrains-mono-nerd-basic noto-fonts-cjk adwaita-fonts
+git clone https://github.com/HANCORE-linux/Shibumi-Shell.git
+cd Shibumi-Shell
+git checkout v0.1.1-beta.16.3
+./scripts/shibumi-suite install --yes
+```
+
+Update an admitted Beta.16.2 installation from its existing checkout:
+
+```bash
+git fetch --tags
+git checkout v0.1.1-beta.16.3
+./scripts/shibumi-suite update --dry-run
+./scripts/shibumi-suite update --yes
+./scripts/shibumi-suite status
+```
+
+The exact Beta.16.2 tag (`bd1224b`) and release merge (`e07853b5`) are admitted
+predecessors. Older supported identities retain their exact revision and
+payload checks; an arbitrary checkout with the same version is not admitted.
+Do not install or update from `main`, or delete lifecycle state to bypass
+admission. See the [installation and recovery guide](https://github.com/HANCORE-linux/Shibumi-Shell/blob/v0.1.1-beta.16.3/docs/install.md).
+AUR publication remains deferred.
+
+## Downgrade warning
+
+**Downgrade:** Beta.15.4 and older cannot read V1 layouts with parked widgets
+(`order.parked`). They reset V1 order, roles and splits to defaults; other
+settings and V2 stay. `uninstall --keep-settings` does not prevent this.
+Back up `~/.config/omarchy/shell.json` and `~/.local/state/shibumi/` before a
+downgrade. Details: [Backup before downgrade](https://github.com/HANCORE-linux/Shibumi-Shell/blob/v0.1.1-beta.16.3/docs/install.md#backup-before-downgrade).
