`diet-guard log ...` blocked for ~15.5s after every meal. The publish itself has to happen -- until it lands the phone still believes the slot is unlogged and nags for it -- but only ~2.5s of that is the 293KB push the phone needs; the rest is pulling peers' banks, which publishing does not require. The local write is already durable before the publish starts, so the worst case is a late publish, which is the trade `_sync_events` already documents for the event-driven model. Moving it to a worker thread lets the caller print and return at once. Measured: 15.5s -> 2ms before the prompt comes back. The thread is deliberately non-daemon: the CLI's output is already flushed, so the process lingers only as long as the push, and the publish is never killed halfway. A failure still surfaces, via a callback the caller supplies, just after its own output rather than in the middle of it. Deliberately NOT applied to the gate. `diet-guard-gate.service` is `Type=oneshot`, so systemd reaps the unit the moment the main thread exits and a background publish would be killed mid-push. The gate keeps calling `publish_after_log` and waiting, which is correct there -- its publish already runs after the window is gone, where nobody is waiting on it. `conftest._isolate_state` follows the rename to `publish_after_log_detached`; without that every meal-logging test would reach the network through a newly unpatched seam. Verified with `scripts/check_patch_targets.py` and by timing the real command against a temporary data dir, never the live log.

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
