Root-caused the 2026-08-21 stuck-lock incident: a manual workout unlocked correctly, but the mechanism behind "locked again seconds later" was a stray workout-locker.service re-arm racing a second process into building a competing lock window -- not a leetcode-guard conflict as first suspected (its timer wasn't due until 13:00 that day). Separately, diet_guard held the global grab for ~3 minutes against a newly-arriving, higher-ranked screen_locker that morning, which just retried and logged instead of making progress. - _build_lock_window now calls gatelock.wait_for_turn before arming, so a stronger incumbent is queued behind instead of raced. - New screen_locker/_instance.py (flock-based, mirrors leetcode_guard/diet_guard's own single-instance guards) stops a second process from ever building a competing window in the first place. - Bumped to gatelock v0.7.1, which adds weaker-holder preemption (SIGTERM, reusing the holder's own clean close() path) so a lower- ranked incumbent can no longer block a stronger claim for minutes. - Fixed a live crash in scripts/verify_screen_fits.py: it read the real log.json, so today's exhausted manual-workout budget (itself caused by the incident's duplicate entry) made the fit-check crash on an unset _mw_error_label. Points at a path that can never exist instead, so the measurement no longer depends on live data.

screen-locker
Tkinter/systemd screen locker with workout tracking, sick-day management, and wake-alarm integration. It enforces a workout cadence by locking the screen until a RunnerUp-verified (or explicitly justified) workout is logged.
MCP server (Claude Code integration)
screen-locker exposes a read-only MCP server (screen_locker._mcp) so
Claude Code and its subagents can query workout compliance and the
lock-decision state through typed tools — without shelling out to the
screen-locker-status CLI or opening the Tk window.
- Read-only tools:
get_status(full status snapshot),get_summary(one-line i3blocks summary +ok/warn/lockstate word),explain_lock(why the screen is / isn't locked right now),get_flags(the individual boolean lock-decision predicates for today). - There are no write/action tools, by design. Nothing here logs a workout or mutates state — workouts are logged only from RunnerUp-verified TCX data, never from a caller's claim. No tool exposes the sync token or any HMAC key.
The mcp SDK is an optional dependency (pip install -e '.[mcp]'), kept out of
the CLI/systemd system-python path. One-time setup of the dedicated venv that
Claude Code spawns:
./scripts/setup_mcp.sh
Registration lives in the checked-in .mcp.json (project scope).
