Check aurhelper

[Firstp1ck]

Summary

This PR enhances AUR helper detection and support in the setup script, adding support for both paru and yay with preference for paru. It also improves the Rust UI to display warning and error states visually, and includes various improvements to directory detection, PAM configuration handling, and script reliability.

The main improvements include:

• AUR Helper Support: Now checks for and prefers paru over yay, with proper state tracking to avoid duplicate checks
• UI Enhancements: Added severity tracking (warnings/errors) with color-coded visual indicators in the setup progress UI
• Script Reliability: Improved directory detection, PAM configuration handling, and better error handling throughout

Type of change

• feat (new feature)
• fix (bug fix)
• docs (documentation only)
• refactor (no functional change)
• perf (performance)
• test (add/update tests)
• chore (build/infra/CI)
• ui (visual/interaction changes)
• breaking change (incompatible behavior)

How to test

List exact steps and commands to verify the change. Include flags like --dry-run when appropriate.

# Test AUR helper detection (with paru installed)
./setup.sh --dry-run

# Test AUR helper detection (with yay installed, no paru)
./setup.sh --dry-run

# Test AUR helper detection (neither installed - should install yay)
./setup.sh --dry-run

# Test Rust UI with severity indicators
cargo run

# Verify script changes
bash -n setup.sh
shellcheck setup.sh

# For Rust code (if applicable)
cargo fmt --all
cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
cargo test -- --test-threads=1

Checklist

• Code compiles locally
• cargo fmt --all ran without changes (if Rust changes)
• cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings is clean (if Rust changes)
• cargo test -- --test-threads=1 passes (if Rust changes)
• Added or updated tests where it makes sense
• Updated docs if behavior, options, or keybinds changed (README, config examples)
• For UI changes: included screenshots and updated Images/ if applicable
• Changes respect --dry-run and degrade gracefully if pacman/paru/yay are unavailable
• Not a packaging change for AUR (otherwise propose in hyprland-simple-setup-git repos)

Notes for reviewers

• The AUR_HELPER_CHECKED flag prevents duplicate AUR helper checks within a single script run, improving performance
• The preference order is: paru (if available) → yay (if available) → install yay (if neither available)
• All hardcoded yay references have been replaced with the $AUR_HELPER variable for consistency
• The severity tracking in the Rust UI parses log output for [error], [warning], [!] patterns to determine step severity
• Windows detection properly skips AUR helper installation and sets AUR_HELPER_CHECKED=true to prevent errors
• The new check_setup_warnings.sh script provides additional setup validation

Breaking changes

None. This is backward compatible - existing setups using yay will continue to work, and the script will now also support paru if available.

Additional context

• Commit history shows this branch includes multiple enhancements: AUR helper checks, PAM configuration improvements, directory detection enhancements, and UI improvements
• The changes affect both the shell script (setup.sh) and the Rust TUI application (src/main.rs)
• A new script check_setup_warnings.sh has been added to the dotfiles configuration

Pull Request Overview

This PR enhances AUR helper detection to support both paru and yay (preferring paru), adds visual severity indicators (warnings/errors) to the Rust TUI, and includes improvements to directory detection, PAM configuration handling, and Manjaro/CachyOS support.

Key changes:

• AUR helper detection now checks for paru first, falls back to yay, and sets AUR_HELPER variable with state tracking to avoid duplicate checks
• Rust UI now tracks and displays step severity (Error/Warning/None) with color-coded indicators and a legend
• Enhanced directory detection with multiple fallback strategies including git root, environment variables, and deeper search paths
