### Description

$ oculante
[2026-08-06T06:15:48Z INFO oculante::settings] Loaded volatile settings.
[wayland-client error] Attempted to dispatch unknown opcode 0 for wl_shm, aborting.
Aborted (core dumped) oculante
```

My quick research suggest that this is popular issue, and the rebuild with fresh Wayland libs will fix it.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash by launching Oculante under Sway with the reported environment, then inspect how its Wayland libraries are built and linked. Compare the installed libraries with a fresh rebuild; done means the application launches and displays its UI without the wl_shm unknown-opcode abort.
