found-issue — found while implementing #1 / verifying live snapshots.
Problem
Pre-yazi / pre-tmux-drop backups record top-level paths such as:
PRESENT .config/rangerPRESENT .config/tmux
_rel_is_managed_target only allows current _backup_targets, _managed_targets, and _legacy_restore_targets (aerospace, borders, karabiner, sketchybar). Those dropped app dirs are none of the three.
omacase restore <old-id> therefore aborts with unsafe path '.config/ranger' before any files are touched. The user cannot roll back a snapshot that is otherwise valid.
Verified against ~/.local/state/omacase/backups/20260815-210525 and every snapshot from 2026-06-13 through 2026-08-15 on this machine.
Why it matters
Restore is the escape hatch after a bad update. A historical snapshot that silently became unrestorable is the opposite of reversible.
Suggested fix
Extend _legacy_restore_targets with the dropped top-level dirs (ranger, tmux, and any other path that ever appeared in _managed_targets). Shape-driven restore from #13 already knows how to merge PRESENT directories and prune ABSENT ones without wiping siblings.
Not in scope of #13
#13's plan explicitly kept the legacy allowlist as written. This is follow-up.
