== New applet loading mechanism ==
Fancy new CMake thing to do everything

Got a live demo of how it works


== QML magic ==
Context properties and accessing items from other files using their IDs is bad; try to stop doing it.

QML LSP and linting help us see them at least.

Need to just fix things one at a time as we see them.


== Plasma repo audit ==
When considering to merge things, consider dependencies, what wants or needs to be in our Flatpak runtimes, and build times.

Conclusions:
* Kactivitymanagerd: merge into plasma-workspace
* Breeze*: merge together
* KDE CLI Tools: clean it up, merge it somewhere
* KDE GTK Configurator: merge somewhere?
* KSSHAskPass: merge into workspace
* KWriteD: merge into plasma-desktop
* Lancelot: archive it
* Milou: move components into KRunner, and widget into plasma-workspace
* Oxygen* merge together
* Pico Wizard: archive it
* polkit-kde-agent: merge into workspace


== QMLformat ==
Changes are fine-ish now; let's try it out in NeoChat as a pilot project.


== Visual theming using QML ==
Want to remove themable QML code from Global Themes. Removed Lock screens and OSDs so far; remaining things:
# OSD
# SystemDialog
# Logout Greeter
# Splash Screens
