The periodic diet-guard-sync.timer paid a network round-trip every ~15 min to approximate the two moments the shared log actually changes on this device. Sync now fires on those events instead: * before a lock -- already present in _cli_gate._should_lock, which pulls only when a lock is otherwise due, so a phone-logged meal clears the lock and a not-due tick never touches the network; * after a meal is logged here -- new _sync_events.publish_after_log, wired into all three write paths (_cli_log, _cli_gate, _mcp). This is what stops the PHONE nagging for a slot already logged on the PC, the mirror image of the rule that keeps the phone's own tick unconditional. The gate's publish sits in cmd_gate AFTER MealGate.run() returns, never in the unlock handler: that runs on the Tk thread with the window still up, so a hanging network call would keep the user locked in behind a successful log. It also covers the "Synced from another device" unlock, which hooking log_meal would miss. Accepted trade: a PC that is on but neither logging nor locking no longer pulls, so an inbound phone edit lands at the next log or lock rather than within 15 min. Bounded by slot spacing -- an unlogged day raises a lock. install.sh now disables and removes the installed timer (guarded, since a fresh machine has no such unit and `disable` would abort under `set -euo pipefail`); the .service stays for manual one-off ticks. Every test that logs a meal would otherwise reach the network through the new call sites, so conftest patches publish_after_log at each of the three call sites -- not on _sync_events, so test_sync_events still exercises the real helper. Suite stays at ~8s, which is the actual leak detector. Two files had to be split to commit at all, since file-length passes filenames and both were already over the 250-line cap: _cli.py 466 -> 207, + _cli_args.py, _cli_init.py, _cli_log.py _mcp.py 370 -> 194, + _mcp_server.py (singleton + annotations), _mcp_read.py Their conftest/test patch targets moved in the same commit; a stale target redirects nothing and fails open. Verified: 701 python tests at 100% branch coverage, 555 flutter tests, `python -m diet_guard sync` -> 402 entries/exit 0, `gate --check` -> exit 0, all five MCP tools still register, live ~/.local/share/diet_guard byte-identical. Over-cap files: 44 -> 42. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01RA9ynjqXPnexRQnR5oAuCC |

diet_guard
A log-to-unlock gate: locks the desktop until a meal is logged once a meal slot (08:00 / 12:00 / 16:00 / 20:00) has elapsed without one, and tracks a sealed daily calorie/macro budget.
Install
bash install.sh
This installs the package + dependencies into system Python's user
site-packages (the systemd service runs /usr/bin/python directly, not a
venv — see CLAUDE.md), installs the systemd user timer, seals your daily
budget, and locks the budget file immutable.
Usage
python -m diet_guard init # one-time: compute and seal today's budget
python -m diet_guard gate --demo # test the lock window (safe, closeable)
python -m diet_guard averages # weekly/monthly average kcal vs budget
Averages
averages prints the mean kcal/day for this week, last week, this month and
last month, each labelled under / slightly over / very over.
Three rules make the number honest, and all three are mirrored in the phone app and the gate's History tab:
- the mean is over logged days only -- a day you forgot to log is not a zero-calorie day, and averaging it in as one would make every gap in the log read as "well under budget";
- the yardstick is the mean of the budgets that applied on those same days,
not today's budget, so editing the budget never retroactively reclassifies a
past week (same reason the calendar uses
.budget_history); - today is excluded -- every period ends at yesterday, because a half-logged today drags the mean far enough to flip the band. On a Monday "this week" therefore reports no logged days yet rather than a flattering number.
The band boundaries are the calendar's own (at or under budget / up to 20% over / more than 20% over), so a period and its day cells can never disagree about what "over" means.
The timer runs the gate automatically every ~30 minutes; no manual invocation is needed once installed.
MCP server
An optional Model Context Protocol server
lets an MCP client (Claude Code and its subagents) query today's intake and log
meals as typed tools instead of shelling out to the CLI. It runs in its own
venv (~/.venvs/diet-guard-mcp) so the mcp SDK never touches the
dependency-light system/CLI python path.
Tools:
get_status— today's consumed kcal + macros, the consumption band (on track/approaching limit/OVER BUDGET, or none when no budget is sealed), plus due / logged / current meal slots.list_today— today's logged meals (description, kcal, macros, source, slot).get_slots— the day's fixed meal slots and the current one.get_averages— average kcal/day for this/last week and this/last month, each with its band (under/slightly_over/very_over). Returns the intake and the band only — never the period's average budget.log_meal(description, grams=, kcal=, protein=, carbs=, fat=, slot=, confirm=False)— gated write: withconfirm=Falseit previews the resolved nutrition and target slot and mutates nothing; onlyconfirm=Trueappends the entry. The gate is intrinsic — never add this tool to a permission allowlist, since a client's auto-approve mode would otherwise bypass the human confirmation.
The read tools deliberately never expose the raw daily budget number (only the
qualitative band), nor the sealed .budget file, the shared HMAC key, or the
sync token — the budget stays hidden by design.
Setup:
bash scripts/setup_mcp.sh # create the venv and install diet_guard[mcp]
Then restart Claude Code in this repo and approve the project MCP server
(registered in .mcp.json).
Development
python -m venv .venv && .venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
.venv/bin/pre-commit install && .venv/bin/pre-commit install --hook-type pre-push
.venv/bin/python -m pytest diet_guard/tests/ --cov=diet_guard --cov-branch --cov-fail-under=100
