## 🎯 Scope & Assumptions
<span style="color:#fbbf24">Goal:</span> Identify **files that directly modify Hyprland config on disk** (or generate files sourced by Hyprland), because those will need updating for Lua.

<span style="color:#a3e635">Out of scope:</span> The new Lua syntax itself.

---

## 🧩 Hyprland Config Entry Points
**Primary file:** `Hyprland-Dots/config/hypr/hyprland.conf`

This file **sources**:
- `Hyprland-Dots/config/hypr/configs/*.conf`
- `Hyprland-Dots/config/hypr/UserConfigs/*.conf`
- `Hyprland-Dots/config/hypr/monitors.conf`
- `Hyprland-Dots/config/hypr/workspaces.conf`

Also:
- `Hyprland-Dots/config/hypr/UserConfigs/UserDecorations.conf` **sources**
  `~/.config/hypr/wallust/wallust-hyprland.conf`

➡️ Any script that writes these files must be updated for Lua.

---

## ✍️ Direct Hyprland Config Writers (must change)
These **write/overwrite Hyprland config files**:

### 🖥️ Monitor Profiles
- `Hyprland-Dots/config/hypr/scripts/MonitorProfiles.sh`
  **Writes:** `~/.config/hypr/monitors.conf`
  **How:** `cp` chosen profile from `Monitor_Profiles/*.conf`

### 🎞️ Animations
- `Hyprland-Dots/config/hypr/scripts/Animations.sh`
  **Writes:** `~/.config/hypr/UserConfigs/UserAnimations.conf`
  **How:** `cp` selected animation file into UserConfigs

### 🧱 Window Rules Version Switch
- `Hyprland-Dots/config/hypr/scripts/update_WindowRules.sh`
  **Writes:** `~/.config/hypr/configs/WindowRules.conf`
  **How:** backup + `cp` from `WindowRules-config-v3.conf`, then `hyprctl reload`

### 🎬 Startup Apps (wallpaper switching)
- `Hyprland-Dots/config/hypr/UserScripts/WallpaperSelect.sh`
  **Writes:** `~/.config/hypr/UserConfigs/Startup_Apps.conf`
  **How:** `sed -i` toggles `exec-once` lines and updates `$livewallpaper`

### 🗂️ UserConfig swapper
- `Hyprland-Dots/config/hypr/scripts/UserConfigsSwitcher.sh`
  **Writes:** directory move/rename
  **How:** `mv` between `UserConfigs` and `UserConfigsBak`

---

## 🧪 Indirect / Generated Config Writers
These generate **files that Hyprland sources**:

### 🎨 Wallust → Hyprland colors
- `Hyprland-Dots/config/hypr/scripts/ThemeChanger.sh`
- `Hyprland-Dots/config/hypr/scripts/WallustSwww.sh`

**Writes/overwrites:**
`~/.config/hypr/wallust/wallust-hyprland.conf`

**Used by:**
`Hyprland-Dots/config/hypr/UserConfigs/UserDecorations.conf` (sources it)

➡️ The Lua migration must either keep a compatible generated file or switch the generator target.

---

## 🧰 Install/Upgrade Writers (copy/restore paths)
These **modify Hyprland configs during install/upgrade**:

### 🔧 `copy.sh`
- Edits `Hyprland-Dots/config/hypr/configs/ENVariables.conf` (enables hyprcursor)
- Modifies `~/.config/hypr/configs/Startup_Apps.conf` (quickshell migration)
- Renames/switches `hyprlock.conf` variants (not Hyprland config, but in same dir)
- Calls restore helpers below

### 🧱 `scripts/lib_copy.sh`
Restores/copies:
- `~/.config/hypr/monitors.conf`
- `~/.config/hypr/workspaces.conf`
- `~/.config/hypr/UserConfigs/Startup_Apps.conf`
- `~/.config/hypr/UserConfigs/WindowRules.conf`
- `~/.config/hypr/UserConfigs/UserKeybinds.conf`
- Additional UserConfigs overlay logic

## 📟 Runtime‑Only Files (no file writes)

## 📝 Notes / Follow‑ups
<span style="color:#f97316">Important:</span>
Some scripts are **file writers but not Hyprland config writers** (e.g., `install-uv.sh`, `Distro_update.sh`, and the binary `dots-tui-ubuntu-2404`). They don’t touch Hyprland configs but do modify the system.

If you want an **exact “no file writes anywhere” list**, I can do a stricter pass (including temp/status files, downloads, etc.).
