# xdg-portal - XDG Desktop Portal Infrastructure ## Overview Provides XDG Desktop Portal support for Sway containers. Installs the portal daemon, the wlroots-specific backend (`xdg-desktop-portal-wlr`), and the GTK fallback backend. Enables screen sharing, screenshots via portal API, and file dialogs for applications running inside the container. ## Layer Definition ```yaml requires: - dbus - sway - pipewire env: XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP: "sway" rpm: packages: - xdg-desktop-portal

~/.config/sway/config.d/portal.conf which runs dbus-update-activation-environment to export WAYLAND_DISPLAY, XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP, and SWAYSOCK to the D-Bus activation environment. Without this, portal daemons can't find the Wayland display.~/.config/xdg-desktop-portal-wlr/config with chooser_type=none for headless automation (no user dialog for screen sharing).| Interface | Backend | Status | |-----------|---------|--------| | Screenshot | xdg-desktop-portal-wlr | Supported | | ScreenCast (PipeWire) | xdg-desktop-portal-wlr | Supported | | RemoteDesktop | — | NOT supported on wlroots | | File dialogs | xdg-desktop-portal-gtk | Supported (fallback) | | Settings | xdg-desktop-portal-gtk | Supported (fallback) |

Use when authoring or modifying a charly PLUGIN — a candy with a `plugin:` block that contributes Providers (verbs/kinds/deploy-targets/steps/builders/commands), its own CUE schema, builtin (compiled-in) or external (out-of-tree git repo). Covers the unified Provider model, the per-plugin CUE-schema contract (single source → Go params for dev + schema-over-Describe RPC for runtime), the SDK, and the loader.
tools
The CUE data-validation / configuration CLI (cue), pinned to v0.16.1. Use when working with the cue candy, installing the cue binary into a box or onto a target:local dev host, or running the offline schema-vendoring pipeline that feeds charly's egress validation.
tools
CUE EGRESS validation — validating (and, where it adds value, generating) the config files charly WRITES to a system BEFORE the bytes hit disk. MUST be invoked before working on charly/egress.go, the vendored schemas under candy/plugin-egress/egress-schemas/vendor/, the ValidateEgress / registerVendoredEgressKind path, the offline `task cue:vendor` pipeline, or adding an egress schema for any written artifact (cloud-init, k8s manifests, traefik routes, runtime config, install ledger, systemd/quadlet units, ssh_config, libvirt XML).
tools
Kubernetes cluster-probe declarative check verb — the `kube:` check verb (nodes, pods, ingress, storage class, addon health, apply/delete, and arbitrary resource GETs) served out-of-process by the candy/plugin-kube plugin (vendored client-go; no external kubectl required).
