Ecosystem
Apps built for the field.
Halley is more than a compositor. The ecosystem is a set of first-party apps that talk to Halley over its IPC APIs, so they understand nodes, clusters, and the spatial model instead of treating the desktop as a flat stack of windows.
Each app ships as its own package. halley-full is the convenience bundle that
pulls in the whole set at once and grows as the ecosystem grows.
Halley Lift
A compositor-integrated command palette. Search apps, nodes, clusters, actions, and config from one launcher — and stage running nodes into cluster drafts in a single flow. Independently released and built with Halley UI.

Install the whole ecosystem
The halley-full AUR package installs Halley alongside every first-party
ecosystem app. It is the convenience path — each app also stays individually installable if
you only want certain pieces.
