Third app onto freedays (~/utils/freedays), the shared pool of pre-declared days when every gate app stands down. due_slots() returns nothing on a free day, so no slot is ever due, the lock never opens and nothing is said about the missing meals. Read from one local file, never the network, so this cannot hang the systemd-fired gate -- and an unreadable pool reads as "not free", which means the normal rules apply rather than the gate quietly switching itself off. Tested explicitly: fail closed, not open. The conftest redirect is load-bearing. The pool lives under ~/.local/share, outside every diet_guard path the suite already isolates, so without it a real free day on this machine would fail every "the gate is due" test here for a reason that looks nothing like the cause. gatelock moves v0.7.2 -> v0.7.3, and the pylint hook's own pins (which had drifted further, to gatelock v0.7.1 and crdt-sync v0.6.0) come with it. Not cosmetic: pip refuses two different direct URLs for one distribution, so any stale pin alongside freedays -- which requires v0.7.3 -- is an unresolvable environment rather than a warning. requirements.txt also picks up pylint 4.0.8, pytest-randomly 5.0.0 and ruff 0.16.6, which the freshness gate flagged once this file was touched. 1043 tests pass at 100% coverage across the pytest-randomly major bump.

diet_guard_app
Companion app for diet_guard: log meals on the phone, and on the Linux
desktop, sharing one food log through GitHub-backed sync.
Two targets, and only two
| Target | What it is |
|---|---|
| Android | a normal Flutter app (flutter build apk) |
| Linux desktop | the Flutter web build, served by a local wrapper and shown in a Chrome --app window |
There is no linux/ directory. Flutter's GTK embedder manages ~20fps at
3840x2160 -- measured on a stock flutter create counter app, so it is the
toolkit rather than this code -- where the same Dart rendered by Chrome
sustains ~144fps (~/todo/docs/DOCS-desktop-performance-findings.md). Running
flutter create --platforms linux here would silently restore the slow path.
Commands
flutter test # the app's suite
flutter analyze
bash run.sh # build the web bundle and launch the desktop app
bash install_arch.sh # build + install the pacman package and .desktop entry
flutter build apk --release # the phone build
adb install -r build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-release.apk
Never adb uninstall or pm clear this package: both wipe the on-device log.
The desktop wrapper
bin/diet_guard_desktop.dart is the other half of the desktop app, because a
browser cannot touch the filesystem. It:
- serves the built web assets from
build/web(or/opt/diet-guard-app/webonce packaged); - keeps an on-disk copy of every document and photo under
~/.local/share/diet-guard-desktop/, which is what makes a wiped Chrome profile recoverable -- for photos it is the only copy, since they never sync; - holds the GitHub token (
~/.config/diet_guard_app/sync_token, falling back to the PC gate's~/.config/diet_guard/sync_token) and proxiesapi.github.complus the device flow, whose endpoints send no CORS headers and so cannot be called from a page at all.
The port (8732) and the Chrome --user-data-dir must stay fixed.
IndexedDB is keyed by origin and lives inside that profile, so changing either
looks to the app like a device with no history.
Platform seams
dart:io does not fail a web compile; it becomes a stub that throws at
runtime, so the symptom of a missed seam is a blank white window rather than a
build error. Every platform edge is a conditional export -- document_store*,
blob_store*, background_tasks*, notification_backend*, token_vault*,
github_client_factory*, attached_image*. Branch on kIsWeb before any
Platform.is…, which itself throws on web.
What the desktop genuinely loses, by design rather than omission:
- Background reminders. A browser runs nothing once its window is closed,
so the due-slot check runs in-page every 5 minutes while the window is open.
On the PC the real backstop is
diet-guard-gate.timer, which locks the screen. - Camera capture. The browser picker is a file input.
- Photo sharing between devices -- unchanged:
imagePathwas always stripped before push.
Sync identity
Three devices push under diet-guard-sync/devices/: pc (the Python gate),
phone, and desktop. Each must keep its own id -- two devices sharing one
would overwrite each other's pushed log on every tick.
