How elrondforwin/pack-rs works
Pack is an interactive Arch Linux package manager. The user launches its terminal UI, selects a package operation or list, searches and selects packages, optionally reviews details, then confirms actions that run through pacman or yay. Package discovery also supports installed, AUR, orphaned, and recent lists; available packages are cached. The sampled code shows the UI and package-manager ownership, but not all detail-loading and command branches, so uncertain wiring is omitted.
