Holding this as a draft rather than merging.

Both source PRs are still open, so the post's "What shipped" framing was false:

• feat(wayland): accept aw-awatcher as the Wayland watcher ActivityWatch/aw-qt#143 — open, clean, green on ubuntu-22.04 / macOS 14 / Windows + CodeQL.
• feat(packaging): ship awatcher in the non-Tauri Linux bundle ActivityWatch/activitywatch#1531 — open, merge state BLOCKED by the unrelated Tauri legs (activitywatch#1529 pin misalignment). The Qt Linux leg, which is the one that builds and packages awatcher, is green.

I also found the post did not match the code as reviewed, and fixed it in ca8419897:

• The code block was invented. It showed _select_wayland_watcher() taking no arguments and probing with shutil.which/bundle_dir. The real signature is _select_wayland_watcher(available_names: Set[str]), the shared constants live in aw_qt/wayland.py, and the actual behaviour is _apply_wayland_substitutions() replacing aw-watcher-window + aw-watcher-afk with an available Wayland watcher at the first replaced position.
• aw-qt#143 has no Greptile check, so "and Greptile" was dropped.
• awatcher was described as wrapping aw-watcher-window-wayland. It is the independent 2e3s/awatcher implementation; corrected.
• The "~10 MB before stripping" figure was unverified. Replaced with the published asset size (4.7 MB compressed).
• Framing changed from "shipped" to "in review", with the substitution, explicit-selection, no-watcher-fallback, and stop-stays-disabled semantics described as they actually are.

Next step: when both PRs merge, update the post with the merge commits and flip it back to shipped framing, then merge this.

Closing as superseded.

This PR adds _posts/2026-10-18-activitywatch-wayland-qt-bundle.md plus its OG image. That file landed on master via #310 (commit ee9f0d55c), and the merged version is the corrected one: this branch's draft says the two packaging PRs "land together" and frames the work as shipped, while the merged text describes them accurately as still in review. #311 carries the remaining correction (distinguishing proposed Qt Wayland integration from shipped support).

The CONFLICTING status is the overlap — both branches add the same file. Rebasing would reintroduce the pre-correction claims, so resolving the conflict would make the published article worse. Nothing on this branch is absent from master.
