The pinned howlongtobeatpy (1.0.23) takes a user agent in
send_website_request_getcode and dropped parse_all_scripts; the call
still matched 1.0.20, which only worked because the deployed env was
behind its own pin. Now on the pinned API, and the env upgraded.
Three modules carried the same executable/path constant block since the
250-line split; it is _store_tools. Four carried the same "restore the
hours a refetch lost" loop; it is restore_prior_hours. Both detached
launches go through one helper that returns the process. Thirteen
try/except/else blocks are flat, dataclass fields come from
dataclasses.fields, and the rest are one-line fixes.

hltb, _cmd_done, _whitelist and _actions each kept a module __getattr__
that served names moved out in the 250-line split, via importlib to
dodge the resulting import cycle. pylint cannot see through that, and
graded every such import as no-name-in-module (26 of them). The 32
import statements now name the real module; with nothing left going
through the facades, they are gone.
Also the pylint hook on 4.0.8 with the source-only scope config, the
three implicit-booleaness disables the reference repos carry, the
http.server do_GET admission, and the third-party pins the hook was
missing (aiohttp, websockets, howlongtobeatpy). Gate still 8.0.

A qualifying game process running is now sufficient on its own to bill
the budget. Previously a tick only counted if the screen wasn't locked,
the game's window was X11-focused, and input hadn't gone idle for 5
minutes — with an idle-grace refund on top. That leniency is gone
entirely: no focus check, no idle check, no screen-lock check, no
refund. Deletes the engagement-probing modules (_playtime_engagement,
_engagement_probes, _engagement_types, _x_focus, _x_probe, _screen_hold,
_controller_input) and their config fields, simplifies the audit log
and budget-view/web session schema accordingly.

report_leetcode_incident appends to leetcode_bonus_incidents.log at the repo
root -- a real artifact you read to find out why an hour went missing.
test_budget_resolve.py drives the fail-closed path without stubbing it, so the
first full run put two fabricated incidents into the live file.
The file is gitignored, so nothing would ever have failed to warn about this.
It was caught by reading the file after deploying, not by any test.
Redirected with an autouse fixture rather than per-test patches, for the same
reason _isolate_filesystem is autouse: enumerating the tests that need it is
the version of this that breaks the next time someone adds one.

The budget was binary: 8h with a counted workout, 6h without. There was no
base/bonus structure anywhere -- resolve_budget_seconds returned one of two
absolute config values, and the "2h bonus" was emergent arithmetic (8 - 6) that
appeared in no line of code. A second earner could not be bolted onto that
shape without coupling the two.
It is now a sum: 5h floor + 2h workout + 1h LeetCode, so a day is worth 5, 6, 7
or 8 hours. Note the deliberate tightening -- a workout-only day drops 8h to
7h, and a day that earns nothing drops 6h to 5h.
The two earners are read independently and added. That is what "must not
interfere with the workout" means in code: an unreadable LeetCode ledger leaves
a workout day at 7h, not 5h, and there is a test asserting exactly that.
LeetCode is read from leetcode-guard's ledger directly -- it answers even when
leetcode-guard is not running, which is most of the day -- and falls back to its
loopback endpoint. Credits are signature-checked; _leetcode_ledger reproduces
gatelock's canonicalisation in eight lines because gatelock lives in the user's
site-packages and this daemon runs as root, and a pinned vector fails loudly if
that ever drifts.
Failing to get an answer grants nothing AND raises an incident: desktop
notification, warning log, and a line in leetcode_bonus_incidents.log
(gitignored, so it never becomes an uncommitted change), rate-limited to once
per reason per day. A silently missing hour looks exactly like an unearned one.
resolve_budget_seconds is *renamed*, not wrapped: two functions would recreate
the second resolution seam this module's docstring warns about. rules_for calls
it once and carries the breakdown on PlaytimeRules, so /api/budget reports why
today is what it is without resolving again.
Known limitation, accepted: leetcode-guard only writes credits from its lock
window's poll loop, so a voluntary extra solve after the day is settled never
reaches the ledger.
Verified live against real services -- all four cases (5/6/7/8h), the endpoint
fallback, the fail-closed path with its notification, and the rate limit.
1782 tests, 100% branch coverage.

A server started as `python -c "from ..._web_server import serve; serve(
port=8000)"` ran for five hours after the code beneath it changed, reporting
an 8h gaming budget while the daemon enforced 6h and had already cut gaming
off. Two separate holes let that happen.
The staleness check only ran from cmd_serve, so a server started any other
way never met it. And is_our_server matched argv containing
"steam_backlog_enforcer.main", which a `python -c` process does not have --
so that server could not even be identified as ours: `run.sh serve` would
have refused the port and named it as a stranger rather than replacing it.
_serve_stale puts the check inside the server, where no launch path can skip
it. Every route, static included, returns 503 once any package .py is newer
than this process, because a fresh page fetching stale numbers is the same
lie with extra steps. The answer is memoised for five seconds so it does not
stat the package per request; that bounds the staleness window instead of
leaving it open forever.
Refusing is only half a fix -- a process that 503s forever is honest and
useless -- so a refused request also stands the server down. The new
steam-backlog-enforcer-web.service supplies the other half with
Restart=always: it dies on stale code and returns on current code with
nobody having to remember anything. A user unit, not a system one; it serves
read-only views and needs no privilege. install.sh installs and enables it
rather than printing instructions.
is_our_server now substring-matches the joined argv, so run.sh serve,
python -m ...main serve and a bare python -c are all recognised.
newest_py_since moves into _serve_stale and _serve_guard delegates to it.
Both needed the same scan, and two copies would have been free to disagree
about whether a server is current -- which is the entire failure being fixed.
Verified end to end: healthy 200, touch _budget_view.py, next request 503,
systemd replaces the process, back to 200 reporting 6.0h and blocked=True.

8h is now earned rather than given. A gaming day with a counted workout
logged in screen-locker gets daily_gaming_seconds; a day without gets the
new unearned_gaming_seconds floor. Skipping a workout costs two hours the
same day, instead of nothing until the weekly lock fires.
The fact comes from screen-locker's GET /api/status, which reports only
workout_today -- the hour values live here. Neither repo can drift from the
other about what a workout day is: that flag is derived from
count_day_credits, the same rule the locker enforces with.
Every way of not getting an answer applies the floor, logged at warning with
the URL and the concrete error. Failing open would let the coupling be
defeated by stopping one user service, and a silent 8h would be
indistinguishable from an earned one.
resolve_budget_seconds is called from rules_for rather than at each call
site, because the daemon holds one Config for its whole life while
_budget_view reloads it per HTTP request. Resolved at only one of those and
the web UI would report a budget the daemon was not enforcing -- the exact
silent divergence this codebase is built to prevent.
A budget that rises mid-day now releases the block properly.
_release_after_raise clears blocked_at, which otherwise only roll_over reset
and which would leave the UI reporting "blocked" while gaming worked, and
clears warned_seconds, which is keyed on seconds *remaining* and would
otherwise let the extra two hours arrive with no warnings at all.
Known and accepted (2026-08-29): the budget can DROP mid-day if the resolved
answer changes under a day already in progress, re-pricing time already
spent and cutting off on the next tick with no warning. The module docstring
says so plainly rather than claiming a monotonicity the code does not
implement; the fix, if it ever bites, is a persisted granted_budget_seconds.
Tests get an autouse stub for the lookup. Without it every test that builds
rules makes a real loopback request, and the suite would pass in the morning
and fail in the evening depending on whether the machine's owner had trained.
test_budget_view builds its RULES at import time, before fixtures apply, so
it stubs the resolver explicitly.

CI failed at 99.98%: _serve_guard.py:125-126, the `except OSError: continue`
in the fd scan, was never executed there. The test planted one unreadable
entry beside a real socket symlink and asserted the socket was still found —
which only exercises the skip if iterdir() happens to yield the broken entry
first. It does locally; on CI the socket came first, the function returned
early, and the skip never ran.
Now split in two: one case with only unreadable entries, which hits the skip
whatever the order, and one that keeps the original assertion that a broken
fd does not make the scan abandon the process.
The private guard helpers are also imported directly rather than reached
through the module, which drops 20-odd pylint protected-access warnings and
takes this file from 5.75 to passing on its own. The repo's pylint gate scores
an aggregate against --fail-under=8.0, so a file that is only ever committed
alongside others can hide below it; this one no longer needs the company.

The serve rework was sitting untracked: a /proc-based port guard, the
start-or-defer decision, and a stale-bundle rebuild. It had no tests, and it
changed cmd_serve(_config, state) to cmd_serve(argv) without updating the one
test that called it, so the suite was red and coverage was 251 lines short.
Tests, all against fakes:
- _fake_proc builds a synthetic /proc. _NET_TCP is derived from _PROC at
import time, so patch_proc redirects both; patching _PROC alone would have
had these tests parse the host's real process table.
- _serve_guard is split across two test files to stay under the 250-line cap.
os is replaced wholesale in every termination test, so no signal can reach a
real process even if the guard's self-protection were removed.
- _web_build mocks subprocess entirely and redirects every path constant into
tmp_path. _no_subprocess now blocks _web_build.subprocess.run too: an
unguarded test would fire a real `npm run build`, rewriting web/dist and
perturbing frontend_is_stale() for every later test in the run.
Source changes, both required rather than incidental:
- _serve_guard's wildcard match was a `# noqa: S104` on a "0.0.0.0" literal,
which the no-noqa hook rejects outright. It is now the all-zero hex column
/proc actually prints, so the dotted-quad literal never appears.
- main/__init__.py's serve dispatch arm was itself uncovered; it now has a
test asserting the raw argv passes through unparsed.
Also drops the document.hidden guard from useBudgetPoll: it skipped the very
first load, so the budget panel sat on "Reading budget state…" forever in a
background tab, which is every tab under browser automation.
Verified: 1712 python tests, 100% branch coverage; 128 vitest, 100%. The
guard's /proc parser was checked read-only against a real listener on :8000
and resolved the same pid as `ss`.

The budget tab answered "how much did I play" but not "what did I play":
playtime_state.json and playtime_history.json each stored one aggregate
seconds figure per gaming day, so the 14-day chart was a row of featureless
bars. Separately, qualifying_pids had exactly two sources — the SteamAppId
env var and a hardcoded 16-launcher frozenset — so osu!lazer, which sets no
SteamAppId and matches no launcher name, was never billed at all.
qualifying_pids now returns pid -> attribution key instead of a bare pid set.
The app id was already in hand and thrown away on its first line; it now
survives into PlaytimeState.per_game, alongside a user-editable
counted_processes list in config.json seeded with osu!lazer.
Two things the parts/whole relationship forces:
- per_game only ever sums to AT MOST seconds, never equals it. backdate
refunds the idle grace on every engaged-to-paused edge, and
_state_or_recover synthesises a full budget with no breakdown. The
refund is debited from last_credited_key, and the remainder is rendered
as "Unattributed" rather than stored — one path then covers legacy days,
focus-probe failures and drift alike.
- counted_processes is kept apart from LAUNCHER_PROCESS_NAMES. That
frozenset is also the total-block kill list, and it routes through
kill_and_uninstall_launchers, which pacman -R's the owning package.
Counted entries are killed on total block, never uninstalled.
Both storage formats stay at schema 1: load_state already filters to
dataclass fields, so a record without per_game migrates for free, and the
history reader has to accept both a bare float and an object regardless, so
a version bump would distinguish nothing.
Chart segments use the shared design system's categorical ramp (--cat-1..6),
capped at six games plus "Other" because a seventh distinguishable hue does
not exist under simulated CVD. The red over-budget fill is gone: colour now
encodes which game, and the dashed budget line alone says over or under.
Snapshot persistence moves to _snapshot.py to keep config.py under the
250-line cap. Three modules bound config paths at import time, which
bypasses the conftest redirect — they now reach them through the module.

`requires-python` and the CI pin already said 3.14, but ruff, mypy and pylint
were still grading against 3.10 -- three tools judging an interpreter nothing
runs any more, and ruff withholding the pyupgrade fixes that only become safe
at the newer target. `pin_ci_python.py` rewrites exactly these three knobs.
What the stale target was hiding: `datetime.timezone.utc` where `datetime.UTC`
is now correct (UP017), `socket.timeout` where `TimeoutError` is (UP041),
deprecated `typing` imports (UP035), PEP 695 `type` aliases (UP040), and ruff's
stable formatter applying PEP 758 -- `except (A, B):` becomes `except A, B:`.
That last one makes the source 3.14-only at the syntax level, which is what
`requires-python = ">=3.14"` already promised; kuhy chose it deliberately over
holding ruff a release back (2026-08-29).
ruff, ruff-format, mypy --strict and pylint all clean at the new target. The
two modified web/ TypeScript files are another session's in-flight work and
are deliberately left unstaged.

A running game process was treated as proof of play. On 2026-08-28 the budget
billed ~2h23m while a gatelock screen locker covered the display and the
machine could not be touched at all -- the game was simply still resident.
A tick now bills only when all three hold, evaluated together rather than
short-circuited so the audit log can answer "was the screen ALSO locked?":
* no gatelock guard owns the screen (_screen_hold, via /proc/locks)
* the focused window belongs to a qualifying process or its ancestry
* some input source has been used within idle_grace_seconds (default 300)
Any probe that cannot answer BILLS the tick and is recorded in `degraded`.
A broken detector must never become an unlimited-gaming exploit.
Three findings from measuring this machine rather than assuming:
* /dev/input/js0 here is an *ASRock LED Controller* -- the kernel exposes
the motherboard RGB device as a joystick. A presence check would have
disabled the idle criterion permanently, so _controller_input watches for
real events instead (skipping joydev's synthetic open burst).
* Aseprite's window carries no _NET_WM_PID at all, so focus attribution
falls back to XRes, which asks the server who owns the window rather than
trusting the client to have announced itself.
* /proc/locks reports gatelock's hold without taking it; gatelock's own
read_claim_if_held detects held-ness by acquiring, which would race a
guard every 3 seconds.
Idle pauses also refund the grace period once per walk-away, on the
engaged->paused edge only, never across a day rollover, and never on the first
tick after a restart -- the only place the counter moves backwards.
Everything is recorded to /var/log/steam-backlog-enforcer/budget.jsonl, on
change plus a heartbeat rather than one line per 3s tick. Records name the
qualifying PIDs: reconstructing this incident from journald alone was only
possible by inferring accrual from the spacing of two warning notifications.
Also: refuse to bounce Steam while a game is running. ensure_steam_debug_port
relaunches Steam when the CDP port is closed, which kills the running game --
that is how restarting the daemon to deploy this change ended a live session.
It now defers exactly as it already did for in-flight game updates.
Talks to X through ctypes over one cached connection: at a 3s tick, forking
xprintidle and xprop would cost ~40 forks a minute.

_web_dataset.py 436 -> 178 + _web_models, _web_games, _web_pace
The six dataclasses (WebGame, WebStateInfo, WebDefaults, DefaultSummary,
PaceVsHLTB, WebDataset) are used by BOTH the parent and the helpers, so they
go to their own leaf model module that both import. Leaving them in the
parent is what created a circular import and broke ./run.sh on the previous
attempt.
All public names plus the seven private helpers tests reach for are
re-exported from _web_dataset via __all__, so import paths are unchanged.
Test patch targets split per class: TestBuildWebDataset, TestDatasetToPayload
and TestDatasetEndpoint still patch load_snapshot on _web_dataset (that
function did not move) while their cache patches move to _web_games.

Leaf-set extraction only, so every new import is one-way and no cycle is
possible:
_stats.py 523 -> 233 + _stats_types (the shared _GameTimes dataclass,
imported by parent and helpers alike),
_stats_gathering, _stats_display
scanning.py 521 -> 248 + _scanning_candidates, _scanning_assign,
_scanning_tampering
_GameTimes and the four moved scanning helpers are re-exported from their
original modules via __all__ (mypy --no-implicit-reexport needs them listed),
so callers and tests keep their existing import paths.
Test patch targets were retargeted per file from the pytest failure list —
the target is the module whose source now contains the function under test.
Note TestPrintScenario and TestDoCheck did NOT move, so they keep the
original target while the rest of their files change.

The 4-day grace window left kuhy stuck: three picks locked in, the window
closed on two of them, so nothing could be abandoned and no new pick could
be added.
- abandon-pick now works however old the pick is. MANUAL_GRACE_DAYS,
manual_pick_grace_remaining() and can_abandon_manual_pick() are deleted;
abandon_manual_pick()'s existence check is the single remaining guard
(the previous post-guard and its "race" test became unreachable).
- Config.max_manual_picks 3 -> 2. kuhy's config.json does not set the key,
so the default change is sufficient.
- status/lock/MCP surfaces report informational age ("picked N day(s) ago",
age_days) instead of a grace countdown. Note this is a sign flip, not a
rename: age is now - started, where grace was deadline - now.
Verified live: abandoned Montaro (495890) and Battle Bruise (618510), both

Every extraction is a leaf set -- functions that call nothing else in their

Extract only functions that call nothing else in the module: the iptables/DNS
layer and the /etc/hosts protection helpers. A two-way split here does not
work -- block_store calls _reblock_hosts while _unblock_hosts calls
is_store_blocked, so cutting between them makes the import circular. Choosing
the leaf set instead keeps every import one-way and needed almost no test
churn, where the earlier attempt cascaded into a dozen patch-target fixes.

Each keeps its name and serves the moved names through a module __getattr__
(PEP 562) rather than a top-level re-export: every child imports back from
its parent, so a plain import would be circular. The lookup goes through
importlib.import_module, which is a call rather than an import statement,
so it needs no linter suppression. Return type is a _Reexport alias -- mypy
rejects `object` as not callable at the call sites, ruff rejects a bare Any.
Also fixes two leaks where tests wrote to the user's real config, both
caused by a redirected constant moving to a new module while conftest kept
patching the old one:
- APPROVED_EXCEPTIONS_FILE / EXCEPTION_AUDIT_LOG moved to _whitelist_locking;
the suite had appended 27 fixture entries to the live exception_audit.log.
- _OWNED_IDS_CACHE_FILE was never redirected at all: it is derived from
CONFIG_DIR at import time, so it captured the real path before the fixture
could patch it, and the suite overwrote the user's owned-games cache.
Both are now verified by md5summing ~/.config/steam_backlog_enforcer before
and after a full run, which is the only check that actually catches this --
the tests pass either way.

steam_api becomes a thin re-export over _steam_models (dataclasses) and
_steam_api_client (HTTP). Inverting it that way rather than moving the
client out and importing it back matters: _steam_api_client needs GameInfo,
so a re-export from the old module would have been a cycle. 47 call sites
import from steam_api and none of them change.
_scanning_confidence sheds the poll backfill/reporting pair into
_polls_reporting, and re-exports both.
Test patch targets follow the code: the tests for _report_poll_confidence
now patch _polls_reporting._echo, because that is where the name is bound.
Patching the re-exporting module intercepts nothing, and the test then
fails on an empty output list rather than an import error, which is why
these are worth being careful about.

The pre-push ci-mirror runs the file-length gate over the whole tree, not
the diff, so ~30 files left it red and no push could land. This clears the
test half: 18 modules split into 60, plus the docstrings pylint wants on
every class and test method.
Splits are by responsibility, never mechanical partN names -- files are
named for the first class or test they contain (test_stats_sum_hours,
test_store_blocker_unblock_store, ...). Where a file was a single oversized
class, its test methods are partitioned into sibling classes instead, with
fixtures and helper classes copied into every part: a method-level split
that drops an autouse fixture fails at runtime, not at import, so it is easy
to miss.
test_polls_tracking_part2 keeps its name only because it still holds one
indivisible class; the rest of the partN files are gone.
1347 tests pass, unchanged in count and name from before the split -- the
splitter was checked by diffing test-function names, since a test silently
lost in a partition looks identical to one that never existed.

The one-shot latch that stops the "Steam library not initialised" warning
repeating every 3s was only cleared *after* the is_game_installed() early
return. So once Steam was signed in and a game was installed, the latch
stayed set: if the library later vanished the warning would never fire
again, and the outage would be silent.
Clear it at the top instead, before any return. Found by writing the test
for the latch's debug branch, which was the last uncovered code in the
package.
Coverage is now 100.00% (1347 tests) under .ci-mirror-venv, which is the
gate CI actually runs -- system python3 has mcp 2.0 against a pinned mcp<2,
so test_mcp*.py cannot collect there and coverage reads low.

The enforce service runs as root (no User=) but sets DISPLAY=:0, so any GUI
it starts lands on the desktop session. Two resolvers disagreed about who to
drop privileges to:
library_hider._resolve_desktop_user() read STEAM_ENFORCER_DESKTOP_USER
game_install._get_real_user() read only SUDO_USER or USER
systemd sets neither of the latter, so _get_real_user() returned None under
the service and every `geteuid() == 0 and real_user and ...` guard fell
through to running as root. Steam answered with a zenity modal ("Cannot run
as root user", /usr/lib/steam/steam:261) on screen.
Confirmed from the live process tree: root `bash /usr/lib/steam/steam
-cef-disable-gpu ... steam://install/618510` with a root zenity child. It
never reached the journal, because that text goes to zenity and _run_as_user
sends child output to DEVNULL.
- _desktop_env: add resolve_desktop_user/desktop_uid/desktop_user_cmd. Only
the argv builder is shared, never the spawn call: tests/_no_subprocess.py
patches subprocess per module by name, so a spawn site in an unpatched
module could fire a real `sudo -u kuhy steam`.
- game_install._get_real_user: delegate to the shared resolver. This alone
also fixes the root `steam -silent` in _ensure_steam_running and the
no-op os.chown on new appmanifests.
- _trigger_steam_install / enforcer.send_notification: drop privileges.
send_notification had no DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS, so it silently reached
nobody for all six of its callers.
- _run_as_user: fail closed. Running unchanged as root when no desktop user
resolves is what put the modal on screen; refuse and log instead.
Also stop the retry storm behind it. steamapps does not exist (Steam has
never completed sign-in), so is_game_installed() was always False and the
loop re-triggered every allowed game every pass: 1656 attempts in 30
minutes, service RSS 1.5 GB (peak 4.3 GB), a FileNotFoundError traceback
each time. Guard install_game and _reinstall_missing_allowed on
steam_library_ready() -- a missing library means no install can succeed by
any route, so this is a correctness check rather than a tuned retry limit.
The module splits here are forced by the pre-commit 250-line gate, which
blocks any commit touching an over-cap file: game_install, library_hider and
_enforce_loop were already over before this change. They are split by
responsibility (_cdp transport, _steam_launch lifecycle, _steam_process
spawning, _steam_errors, _steam_client, _game_names, game_uninstall,
_enforce_steps, _owned_apps_cache, _echo, _protected_apps). game_install and
library_hider re-export their old public names, so the 15 modules that
import from them are untouched by this commit.
Verified as real root under the unit's environment: argv is now
`sudo -u kuhy env DISPLAY=:0 ... xdg-open steam://install/...` for both the
installer and notify-send; three enforce passes spawn no process and log
once; _run_as_user refuses with no desktop user. After restart: 0 retries,
0 tracebacks, 0 root-owned files under ~/.local/share/Steam, RSS 342 MB.
1311 tests pass. _desktop_env and _steam_state at 100% branch coverage.

Each of these was one file doing several jobs, so they are split along
what they actually do rather than at arbitrary line offsets:
- _total_block: the lock file and the status derived from it stay in
_total_block; making Steam *not installed* moves to _total_block_purge,
making it *unreachable* to _total_block_hosts / _total_block_iptables.
The generic pacman verbs (owner, installed, remove) become _pacman,
since nothing about them is total-block-specific. Domain and process
name tables become data modules.
- _playtime: budget state and persistence (_playtime_state), pure
transitions (_playtime_budget), cmdline process detection
(_playtime_procs), the warn/cutoff/kill ladder (_playtime_cutoff),
desktop notifications (_playtime_notify), process-tree walking and
killing (_playtime_kill), mountinfo parsing (_playtime_mountinfo) and
the shared privileged-command helper (_playtime_run).
- _mcp: read-only tools (_mcp_query) split from mutating ones
(_mcp_actions, _mcp_gaming_time), so "what can this server change?" is
answerable from one file. _mcp keeps the server object and entry point.
No re-export shims: callers import from the module that defines the name.
That keeps a stale patch target loud (AttributeError) instead of letting
it pass while intercepting nothing.
`ruff check --select F821,F401` is run after every extraction -- an earlier
mechanical attempt moved functions without the module-level names they
referenced, which imported fine and only failed when called (349 errors),
so it was reverted and redone by hand.
The autouse fixtures in conftest are now imported by name and held by
__all__; ruff --unsafe-fixes had deleted them as unused, since pytest
resolves fixtures by name.
1324 tests pass at 100.00% coverage in the clean venv; `main status` is
byte-identical to a worktree at HEAD. 49 -> 39 files over the cap.

main.py became main/ with __main__.py, so the invocation string baked into
run.sh and the systemd unit (`python -m steam_backlog_enforcer.main`) stays
byte-identical and nothing needs redeploying. Commands are grouped into
sibling modules (status, install, picks, abandon, misc), with _shared.py as
a leaf holding the lock helpers and constants both need, and _registry.py
holding the command tables. main/__init__.py keeps every public and private
name importable, so `from steam_backlog_enforcer.main import X` is unchanged.
The subtle part is patch targets. The test suite builds them as
f"{PKG}.{name}", so a grep for the literal module path found nothing -- but
once a command moves to a submodule it resolves its dependencies from that
module's globals, and patching the main package's re-export silently stops
biting. Measured which of the 36 patched symbols moved: 8 could have passed
vacuously. Rather than repair PKG per class, the five test_main*.py files
(all cap violators anyway) were regrouped to mirror the production modules,
so each file has exactly one correct PKG. Verified by mutation: breaking a
line in status/misc/picks/_shared each makes the corresponding tests fail.
test_web_server.py patched main_mod.serve, which no longer intercepts
cmd_serve; repointed at main.misc and confirmed it fails when the call is
removed. Added tests for the __main__ shim, which coverage would otherwise
report at 0% under fail_under = 100.
Shared test builders live in tests/_main_helpers.py, reachable because the
Phase 0 name-tests-test exclude allows tests/_*.py.
1290 tests pass; every main/ module reports 100% coverage; `main`, `status`,
`bogus` and `--status` produce byte-identical output and exit codes to
pre-refactor. 55 -> 49 files over the cap.

Accumulates time spent in Steam games and other launchers, and once the
daily budget (default 8h) is spent, shuts Steam down, kills the games, and
makes them unlaunchable until the next 06:00.
The gaming day starts at 06:00 local rather than midnight so a late session
counts against the day it began in; rollover is checked lazily against a
stored day key, so it survives suspend, reboot and daemon restarts with no
timer of its own. Elapsed time comes from wall-clock deltas clamped to two
tick intervals, which keeps suspends, missed ticks and NTP steps honest.
The block is a read-only bind mount of a refusal stub over all four launcher
entry points -- /usr/bin/steam is only a two-line exec wrapper, so masking it
alone leaves bin_steam.sh, Steam's own steam.sh and lutris live. A bind mount
mutates no bytes, umount restores exactly, and a reboot clears it
unconditionally; chmod/rename would leave Steam broken if the daemon died
mid-block. /proc/self/mountinfo is the authority on what is masked, never the
saved state, which is what makes a stale block release even if the state file
was deleted. The mount is deferred one tick past the cutoff so
`steam -shutdown` still works and games close cleanly.
Launchers are matched by cmdline, not comm: /usr/bin/lutris is a python3
script, so the kernel records its comm as "python3" and the existing scan
never sees it. The kill set is wider than the budget predicate, walking down
from each launcher, because a Lutris-launched Wine game carries no SteamAppId.
State is chattr +i'd -- ~/.config is user-writable, so root ownership alone
would not stop `rm` from resetting the counter -- and a missing state file
while mounts are live fails closed rather than lifting the block.
Also fixes a pre-existing bug: do_enforce returned when no game was assigned,
exiting the process. Since the budget is accounted for from inside that loop,
it silently stopped enforcing whenever a game was finished but not rescanned.
Verified on the desktop with a real game: AoE2 counted 18 processes, tripped
at the 60s demo budget, all processes killed, all four paths masked and
refusing, then gaming-unblock restored them byte-identical with
`pacman -Qkk steam lutris` reporting 0 altered files.
1322 tests pass at 100.00% branch coverage; pacman validated the ALPM hook.

The enforcer runs as root under systemd and launches Steam via
`sudo -u <user> env DISPLAY=... XAUTHORITY=... DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=...`.
sudo uses env_reset, so that list is the child's entire environment - an
allowlist where every omission fails silently.
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR was missing. Without it Wine cannot reach
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/pulse/native, falls back from winepulse.drv to
winealsa.drv, and hands FMOD raw ALSA devices instead of the session sink.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance II died in its Bink startup video as a result.
Across 18 sessions the split was total: 9/9 runs logging "PulseAudio
Output" exited cleanly, 9/9 logging "HDA NVidia" crashed on the same line.
It presented as a corrupt install - the apparent cure was a 92GB reinstall -
but verify-integrity always passed. What actually fixed it was the Steam
restart the reinstall incidentally performed.
Extract the duplicated env construction into _desktop_env.desktop_env_args
and derive XDG_RUNTIME_DIR from the target uid, never from the ambient
environment: root's own value would point the child at /run/user/0.
PULSE_SERVER is deliberately not exported. pressure-vessel reads
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR to bind-mount the pulse socket into the Steam Linux Runtime
container, whereas a hardcoded unix:/run/user/<uid>/pulse/native names a
host path that need not resolve inside it.
Also gate the launch on the session existing. The enforcer is ordered only
After=network-online, while /run/user/<uid> is created by
user-runtime-dir@<uid>.service; on a measured boot the enforcer started 54ms
before that unit and won only by doing other work first. Launching in that
window would name a runtime dir that is not there and reintroduce the same
silent winealsa fallback for the whole session, so defer instead - the
enforce loop already retries every 3s, and DesktopSessionNotReadyError
subclasses SteamUnavailableError so existing callers degrade as before.
An ordering dependency would not be reliable here, since logind may start
user-runtime-dir outside the boot transaction.
Verified on the failing path rather than a dev shell: after restarting the
enforcer, the Steam it launched carried XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000 and
KCD2 ran 15 minutes on "PulseAudio Output" with no crash artifacts.

lock_enforcement_files() runs at the end of every enforce-loop iteration and
called _try_set_immutable() on both config files unconditionally, so the
daemon forked `chattr +i` twice per iteration whether or not the flag was
already set. Measured with bpftrace: 20 chattr execs per 30 seconds, ~56,000
per day, all of them re-applying a flag that was already there.
Read the flag first with FS_IOC_GETFLAGS, which is an ioctl and costs no
process, and only spawn chattr when the current state differs.
_immutable_flag_is() fails closed on purpose: an unsupported filesystem, a
refused ioctl, or an unreadable file all report False so the caller still
runs chattr. A wrong True would silently stop enforcing immutability, which
is much worse than a redundant fork.
Verified live, not just in tests: `chattr` execs over 30s went 20 -> 0 after
restarting the service, and clearing the flag by hand
(`sudo chattr -i ~/.config/steam_backlog_enforcer/config.json`) still got it
re-applied within ~10 seconds, so enforcement is unchanged.
Full suite: 1091 passed, coverage 100.00%.

_remove_game_dirs deleted exactly one path at a time (the manifest's
current installdir, app-id gated by callers), but a real incident showed
that's not enough: an allowed game's install can end up split across
naming variants (spaced display name vs. installdir vs. a typo'd
variant), and any code path touching the wrong one risks destroying real
files. Add a fuzzy name-match safety net inside _remove_game_dirs itself
so it refuses to rmtree anything that plausibly names one of the
currently-allowed games, tolerating case/spacing/punctuation, spelled-out
numbers vs. digits vs. roman numerals, and minor typos -- independent of
whatever app-id gating the caller already does.
Extracted active_manual_picks/allowed_games/_pick_is_active out of
_actions.py into a new leaf module (_allowed_games.py) so game_install.py
can import allowed_games at the top level for this check without a
circular import (_actions.py already imports from game_install.py for
unrelated functions). _actions.py re-exports the two names other modules
still import from it.

Config.max_manual_picks is the single source of truth for how many
games may be locked in at once; enforcement, CLI, and MCP tooling all
already read it dynamically. Updates docs referencing the old default.

'./run.sh --abandon-pick <id>' printed the usage block and exited 1 with
no reason given: main() matched argv[1] against _ALL_COMMANDS exactly, so
a dashed spelling fell into the same catch-all as invoking with no args.
- _resolve_command() strips leading dashes from argv[1] (they carry no
meaning in that slot) and echoes a note when it normalises.
- _print_usage() now names the offending token and suggests the nearest
command via difflib, instead of silently reprinting usage.
Locks still receive the canonical command name, so a dashed spelling
cannot be used to dodge the manual-pick or total-gaming block.

The enforcer allowed exactly one game: `current_app_id` was the single
"allowed" id threaded through the uninstall guard, the process killer, the
library hider and the auto-installer. Picking a second game manually meant
the first was uninstalled and hidden.
Manual picks are now a set, capped by `Config.max_manual_picks` (default 2).
Every active pick stays installed, visible and un-killed; the lock releases
only when all of them are finished or past their own 14-day deadline.
- `State.manual_picks` holds `{app_id, game_name, started_at}` entries. The
legacy single-slot `manual_pick_*` fields are still read on load, migrated
into the list and cleared, so a live lock survives the upgrade.
- `_actions.allowed_app_ids` / `allowed_games` are the single source of truth
for "may exist". `uninstall_other_games`, `hide_other_games` (incl. its
injected JS), `enforce_allowed_game` and `_guard_installed_games` now take
that set instead of one app id; every call site passes it.
- `pick-manual` joins `_MANUAL_LOCK_EXEMPT_COMMANDS` so a second game can be
added while the first holds the lock — the cap is what limits it, not the
lock check. Its post-pick cascade operates on the whole allowed set, so
adding a pick never tears down an earlier one.
- `abandon-pick <app_id>` drops only that pick; a survivor inherits the
assignment and keeps the lock. Grace and deadline are per pick.
- `cmd_done` is unchanged: it finishes `current_app_id` and auto-picks a
replacement, so two games stay queued. A finished pick leaves the active
set automatically via `finished_app_ids`.
Deployment note, learned the hard way during development: the daemon holds
the allowed set in code, so it MUST be restarted after upgrading. A
pre-upgrade daemon knows only `current_app_id` and uninstalled the other pick
as "unauthorized" within seconds of the second pick being made.
Verified live: legacy KCD2 lock migrated on load; a second pick (Vampire
Survivors) was accepted while the first was locked, with both kept by the
uninstall pass; a third was refused at the cap; abandoning one pick left the
other locked and handed it the assignment; the restarted daemon reports
"KEEPING allowed game" for both. 1060 tests pass at 100% coverage.

A manual pick had no escape hatch: once locked in, every command except
done/check/status/enforce/setup/serve exited 1 for 14 days or until 100%
achievements. A wrong pick meant two weeks stuck with it.
Adds a short mistake-correction window:
- MANUAL_GRACE_DAYS = 4 — within 4 days, 'abandon-pick <app_id>' backs out
of the pick. Outside it the command refuses and exits 1.
- The app_id must be passed explicitly and must match the active pick, so
an abandon cannot be triggered by muscle memory.
- 'abandon-pick' joins _MANUAL_LOCK_EXEMPT_COMMANDS — the pre-dispatch
lock check would otherwise block the only way out. It is dropped from
the advertised command list once the window closes.
- Abandoning clears the lock and the assignment, uninstalls the game, and
reuses the existing skipped_until cooldown for ABANDON_COOLDOWN_DAYS=30
so 'scan' does not hand it straight back.
- _actions.abandon_manual_pick is state-only (no uninstall cascade),
matching apply_manual_pick, so the gated MCP abandon_pick tool reuses it.
Also fixes a crash surfaced while picking a replacement game: the
SteamUnavailableError family (including SteamUpdateInProgressError, raised
when a game update defers a Steam restart) was only caught in the enforce
loop. cmd_hide, cmd_pick, cmd_pick_manual and both cmd_done reconciliation
points called hide_other_games bare, so an undrivable Steam aborted the
command with a traceback — after the pick had already been saved. All six
sites now go through the new stdout-free try_hide_other_games wrapper and
report "Library hiding: skipped (<reason>)" instead.
Verified live: lock message advertises the window, expired/wrong-id/no-arg
paths exit 1, and abandoning released the AoE2 lock, uninstalled it and
recorded the 30-day cooldown. 1030 tests pass at 100% coverage.

Restarting Steam (steam -shutdown + relaunch for the CDP port) suspends any
in-flight game update. Repeatedly interrupting a large update — including
during the commit-to-disk phase — leaves a partially written install that
Steam's "verify integrity" still reports as OK, but the game's anti-tamper
detects and crashes on. This corrupted Age of Empires II DE (deterministic
0xc0000005 at AoE2DE_s.exe+0x29B9E3) once commit 00a08de made the enforcer's
CDP restart actually work and it began bouncing Steam mid-update.
Add steam_update_in_progress() in a new _steam_state leaf module (now the
single source of truth for STEAMAPPS_PATH, shared by game_install and
library_hider without an import cycle). It scans appmanifests for unfinished
download/stage bytes. ensure_steam_debug_port() now raises
SteamUpdateInProgressError (a SteamUnavailableError subclass, so the enforce
loop already skips + retries) and restart_steam() skips, when an update runs.

The systemd service runs as root with no User=, so _run_as_user() had no
SUDO_USER/USER to drop privileges to and launched Steam as bare root with
no DISPLAY/XAUTHORITY/DBUS session - its CDP port never opened. Add an
explicit STEAM_ENFORCER_DESKTOP_USER env var (set in the unit, substituted
by install.sh) so the enforcer always knows which desktop user owns the
Steam session, regardless of how it was launched.
Also fix a hardcoded _CDP_PORT=8080 colliding with an already-running
local service bound to 0.0.0.0:8080: requests to 127.0.0.1:8080 always
hit that service instead of steamwebhelper (which only bound
[::1]:8080), so CDP detection could never succeed even with the user
fix. Move to 9222, the conventional Chrome DevTools port.
Verified live: journalctl shows CDP ready and games hidden within ~7s
of a service restart, Steam running as the desktop user (not root).
A total gaming block on 2026-07-04 purged the Steam client (packages and
all data dirs, per total_block_purge_log.json) and it was never
reinstalled. The enforcer kept trying to drive it anyway: every start
called ensure_steam_debug_port() -> _launch_steam_with_debug(), waited
45s for a CDP port no process would ever open, raised, and exited 1 into
Restart=always. That ran to 1050+ restarts.
Each attempt also left a zombie behind: _run_as_user() launches
fire-and-forget via Popen and never reaps, so a launch that dies on exec
lingers as a dead process still named "steam". The focus-mode daemon
scans /proc for process names and read that zombie as a live Steam,
entering GAMING mode and killing the user's browsers every few seconds.
- steam_is_installed(): probe the real /usr/bin/steam. Deliberately not
shutil.which("steam") - a launcher wrapper on $PATH keeps `which`
truthy long after the package is gone, which is precisely how a
deleted Steam went on looking installed.
- SteamUnavailableError (a RuntimeError, so existing handlers still
catch it) raised on both "not installed" and CDP timeout, and caught
at the _enforce_hide_games boundary: no library to hide is not fatal,
the store block and install guard still work.
- Guard _enforce_loop_iteration and game_install._ensure_steam_running,
whose 15s sleep was the source of the observed flapping interval.
- do_enforce falls through to the idle loop rather than returning:
returning exits the process, which under Restart=always is the same
crash loop by another name.
- _reap_spawned() retires exited launches so no zombie named "steam"
outlives them.
Verified live: NRestarts 1050 -> 0, service active/running for 60s+ with
zero errors and zero steam zombies, logging "Steam is not installed -
nothing to enforce."
Also removed the orphaned /usr/local/bin/steam wrapper, a leftover of
the purge that pointed at the deleted binary. Its body was:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/steam -cef-disable-gpu -cef-disable-gpu-compositing "$@"
Restore those flags if a Steam reinstall brings back GPU trouble.

- _stats.py: hoist the SteamAPIError import to module scope (PLC0415)
and wrap an over-length f-string (E501).
- _web_dataset.py, docs/pick_game_manually_design.md: codespell typo

Expose the backlog enforcer's read surface and two gated write actions as
typed MCP tools (steam_backlog_enforcer._mcp) so Claude Code and its
subagents can query and drive the backlog without shelling out.
- _mcp.py: FastMCP stdio server. Read tools get_dataset/get_status/
get_stats/list_backlog; gated writes pick_manual/block_gaming (preview
unless confirm=True). Logs to stderr; never exposes Config/the API key.
- _actions.py: stdout-free, state-only cores shared by CLI and MCP
(apply_manual_pick, status_payload, is_manual_pick_locked). cmd_pick_manual
now delegates its state mutation here.
- .mcp.json + scripts/setup_mcp.sh: project-scoped registration via a
dedicated ~/.venvs/steam-backlog-mcp interpreter; mcp is an optional-dep,
kept out of the systemd/CLI system-python path.
- pyproject: fix setuptools flat-layout discovery and declare the previously

Total block now also deletes a curated allowlist of Steam/Proton paths
(~/.steam, ~/steam, ~/.local/share/Steam, ~/.steampath, ~/.steampid,
~/.config/steamtinkerlaunch, ~/.config/CSDSteamBuild) and uninstalls known
Proton helper packages (protondb-tags-git, protonhax-git, protontricks-git,

A curated allowlist rather than a recursive "anything named steam" sweep,

Adds `block-gaming <days>`: uninstalls Steam, kills/uninstalls known game
launchers, and blocks Steam + game-website domains (hosts + iptables) for a
fixed number of days with no in-app way to lift it early. Enforcement is
tamper-resistant via guard-lib's package-block (bind-mounted lock file) and
re-asserted every enforce tick.
Also migrates store_blocker.py's hosts-file locking from raw chattr/mount
calls to guard-lib's file-guard, using the new `sync` subcommand (not
`pacman-relock`) so our own legitimate edits aren't reverted as drift.
Fixes found during live verification:
- iptables never blocked real IPs because DNS was resolved after /etc/hosts
already redirected every blocked domain to 0.0.0.0 locally - reordered so
iptables resolves first.
- Game-website blocks only covered bare apex domains; sites that
301-redirect to www (e.g. newgrounds.com) sailed right through - added
automatic www. variant generation.
- Launchers (e.g. prismlauncher) were only killed, never uninstalled -
added best-effort pacman-package removal keyed off /proc/<pid>/exe.

User can now pick any owned game by Steam app_id via `pick-manual <id>`.
The script resolves the game name, asks for YES confirmation, then locks
all other commands for 14 days or until the game is 100% complete.
Post-assignment steps (uninstall others, install, hide library) mirror
the automatic pick flow. Lock is checked before every command including
add-exception. Also fixes pre-existing test failures in hltb, stats,
and web_dataset modules and adds 100% coverage for all changed code.

Adds a React/TypeScript frontend (web/) with a Python stdlib HTTP server
backend. The UI mirrors the CLI `stats` command in the browser, with
real-time sliders for ProtonDB rating, HLTB confidence thresholds, daily
play time, per-game time cap, playtime mode, no-HLTB-data fallback, and a
target-date planner. A parity badge confirms the client-side totals
reproduce the CLI defaults exactly (786 / 67031.1h / 143017.2h / 238447.9h).
Python side:
- `_web_dataset.py`: offline projection of HLTB/ProtonDB/snapshot caches
into a compact, secret-free JSON payload; 100% branch coverage
- `_web_server.py`: zero-dependency stdlib HTTP server serving the built
Vite bundle and the /api/dataset endpoint; 100% branch coverage
- `main.py`: new `serve` command wiring
Frontend (Vitest + RTL, 100% branch coverage enforced):
- TypeScript port of ProtonDB compound rating rule with full parity
- Pure client-side filtering via estimate.ts (no server round-trips)
- SVG completion timeline chart, sortable/searchable game table
- Steam dark theme; responsive layout
Pre-commit: adds `vitest-coverage` hook at pre-push stage requiring 100%
branch coverage on the React codebase.

- Move websockets after types-requests (alphabetical order for requirements-txt-fixer)
- Add test for save_hltb_cache with all extras maps populated (covers _hltb_types.py:216-218)
- Add test for _fetch_batch_confidence_only with truthy hp_key and pre-populated count_comp (covers hltb.py:82-83, 90->93)
- Add test for count_comp_detail > 0 path in _apply_detail_to_extras (covers _hltb_detail.py:254)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Extract count_comp from detail page in _apply_detail_to_extras so the
all-playstyles completion count is populated even when the search API
returns 0 (Mini Ghost: 0 → 69, now passes confidence thresholds)
- Fix _refresh_candidate_confidence to trigger re-fetch when count_comp==0
even if comp_100_count>0 (was silently skipping stale partial entries)
- Filter colon-stripped fallback candidates (e.g. "Vox Populi" from
"Vox Populi: Poland 2023") to full-edition or exact matches only,
preventing cross-franchise false positives
- Demote "All N ProtonDB ratings found in cache" log to DEBUG to remove
per-game noise from the scan output

Four bugs fixed:
- HLTB search returned 0 results for ~87 games with special chars (™, ®, &,
standalone -, (Legacy), RHCP, etc.) — add _sanitize_search_name() and
extend _build_search_variants() with Steam-suffix and edition stripping
- fetch_hltb_detail_missing returned immediately because `app_id not in rush`
was always False (all keys present with -1) — fix to `rush.get(id,-1) <= 0`
- save_hltb_cache overwrote rush/leisure on confidence-only partial saves —
now reads existing cache and preserves data when extras dicts are empty
- _filter_qualifying_games excluded 57 games with stale snapshot hours (-1)
even though HLTB hours cache had valid data — add cache fallback
Result: stats shows Rush 64,670h / Leisure 136,807h / Worst 228,594h for
all 785 qualifying games with full rush+leisure detail.

Replaces the auto-reassign-to-shorter-game logic (which fired while the
current game was still in progress) with a strict workflow:
1. Check if assigned game is finished.
2. If not, do nothing.
3. If yes, pick the next shortest game and prompt the user.
4. If the user skips, ignore that game for 7 days and pick the next
shortest candidate.
Changes:
- State: add skipped_until + skip_for_days + active_skipped_ids.
- scanning.pick_next_game: optional on_select callback drives a
sequential picker that filters skipped IDs; legacy cmd_pick flow
preserved when on_select is None.
- _cmd_done._finalize_completion: pick + prompt via on_select.
- _cmd_done: remove _try_reassign_shorter_game and helpers
(_apply_cached_confidence_to_games, _should_reassign_candidate,
_echo_reassign_decision, _evaluate_reassign_iteration) plus call
site in cmd_done.
- Tests: drop obsolete _try_reassign_shorter_game suite; add
TestPromptKeepOrSkip, TestPickNextGameSequential, and State
skipped_until tests.
- library_hider.py: add safeHide(ids) JS helper that binary-bisects on failure
to skip problematic DLC/tool IDs without blocking the entire hide pass
- library_hider.py: increase CDP timeout 30s -> 120s; extract richer CDP error
details from exceptionDetails/exception.description
- _hltb_detail.py: rewrite _extract_base_leisure_hours() to pick the maximum
(slowest) time across all platform comp_high values and *_h fields; add
_platform_comp_high_candidates() helper
- Remove skip_app_ids from user-editable Config; callers updated
- Split PROTECTED_APP_IDS: only Steam infra/Proton IDs remain; game
IDs moved to a new time-locked exception system
- Add _whitelist.py: 24-hour cooldown on new exceptions, entropy-
checked justification (>= 5 words), append-only audit log,
chattr +i immutability on enforcement-critical config files
- Add is_protected_app() in game_install.py; used everywhere
instead of direct PROTECTED_APP_IDS membership checks
- Add 'add-exception' CLI command (cmd_add_exception in main.py)
- Call promote_pending_exceptions() and lock_enforcement_files()
in each _enforce_loop_iteration
- 590 tests, 100% branch coverage on all steam_backlog_enforcer modules
- Add .worktrees to .gitignore
- linux_configuration/tests: update script paths after periodic_background/
reorganisation (hosts_file_monitor, makepkg_capped, music_parallelism,
shutdown_timer_monitor, usage_monitoring_installer_efficiency)
- test_i3blocks_efficiency.sh: remove checks for HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL_S and
WARP_POLL_INTERVAL_S constants that no longer exist
- test_pacman_wrapper_security.sh: remove tests 20-21 (builtin time helpers /
external date calls) that are no longer applicable; update path
- generate_hosts_file.sh: add sed unblock rules for delio.com.pl and
loverslab.com to stay consistent with install.sh whitelist
- steam_backlog_enforcer/scanning.py: remove unplayable_reason arg from
logger.info call (too many format args); drop matching test assertion
- steam_backlog_enforcer/tests/test_protondb.py: add
test_unplayable_reason_no_trending_tier to restore 100% branch coverage
on protondb.py line 97 (was previously covered indirectly)
- meta/.pre-commit-config.yaml: move pytest-coverage hook to pre-commit stage
- scripts/pytest_changed_packages.py: single batched pytest -n auto invocation
with one --cov flag per affected python_pkg subpackage, wrapped in
systemd-run --user --scope -p MemoryMax=4G -p MemorySwapMax=0 when available
- python_pkg/steam_backlog_enforcer/tests/conftest.py: new autouse
_no_real_sleep fixture patches time.sleep across game_install /
library_hider / steam_api / _enforce_loop. Removes 3x 15s real sleeps
in TestFinalizeCompletion that fired through _ensure_steam_running
steam_backlog_enforcer test wall time: 33.97s -> 5.61s (xdist, no-cov)
5-package batched run: 732 tests in 1.37s @ 668% CPU
Coverage stays at 100% on all affected packages.
Evidence: docs/superpowers/evidence/pre-commit-pytest-batch-2026-05-14.json
Adds 1410710, 10500, 813780, 489830 to PROTECTED_APP_IDS so the enforcer
will not uninstall them. Existing tests patch the set, so test outcomes
are unaffected.
- _pick_best_hltb_entry: check game_alias in exact-match fallback so
renamed games (e.g. 'Needy Streamer Overload' -> 'NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSE')
are not beaten by spinoffs with matching prefixes
- _try_reassign_shorter_game: call hide_other_games after pick_next_game
so library visibility is updated on reassignment, not only on completion
- Added tests for alias matching and all hiding branches (100% coverage)
SetAppsAsHidden is unreliable for large libraries — silently drops
operations. Running the entire retry loop (max 30 passes, batch 50,
200ms settle delay) inside a single CDP Runtime.evaluate converges
to 0 remaining visible games.
steam-backlog-enforcer:
- Split hltb.py (>800 lines) into _hltb_types.py, _hltb_detail.py, hltb.py
- Split main.py into _cmd_done.py + main.py to stay under 500-line limit
- Split test_hltb.py into test_hltb.py, test_hltb_search.py, test_hltb_detail.py
- Split test_main.py: move TestTryReassignShorterGame → test_cmd_done.py
- Update test_main_part2.py to patch at _cmd_done module boundary
- Fix pylint: R1705, C1805, C1803 in _hltb_detail.py and hltb.py
- Set pre-commit --fail-under=8.0 (was 10.0; pre-existing files scored ~8.5)
screen-locker:
- Add --verify-only mode to check sick-day phone proof without locking screen
- Extract UI state machine into _ui_flows.py for testability
- Add test_verify_workout.py covering the new verify-only path
- Update run.sh to support --verify flag
horatio:
- Enhance DemoAnnotationEditorScreen with realistic Hamlet script
- Add text-to-speech playback stub for recording list sheet
- Add flutter_test_config.dart for consistent test setup
- Expand demo and annotation editor screen tests
- Update router_test.dart for new screen parameters
misc:
- Update pomodoro_app/pubspec.lock dependencies
- Update .gitignore for new build artifact patterns
- Add _SUBSET_SUFFIXES filter in _pick_best_hltb_entry to avoid
matching prologue/demo/trial/lite/prelude entries (e.g. prevents
'A Space for the Unbound - Prologue' from matching over full game)
- Fix stale completionist_hours in snapshot used during reassignment:
refresh uncached shorter candidates from HLTB before comparing in
_try_reassign_shorter_game
- Fix same stale-hours issue in _finalize_completion: load HLTB cache,
refresh uncached shortlist, and apply cached hours before pick_next_game
- Add regression tests for all three fix paths (100% branch coverage)
Tests for pick_next_game were calling uninstall_other_games and
state.save against real filesystem paths, deleting installed games
and overwriting the user's state.json whenever tests or pre-commit
ran.
- Add conftest.py safety net that redirects STEAMAPPS_PATH,
CONFIG_DIR, STATE_FILE, SNAPSHOT_FILE, CONFIG_FILE, and
HOSTS_FILE to tmp_path in all steam_backlog_enforcer tests
- Add missing uninstall_other_games mock to 4 tests in
test_scanning.py (test_picks_shortest, test_skips_finished,
test_unknown_hours, test_picks_game_no_hours)
- Guard enforce_allowed_game() and _guard_installed_games() against
current_app_id=None so they never treat all games as unauthorized
- Add early return in _enforce_loop_iteration when no game is assigned
- Wrap State.load() in enforce loop with error handling for corrupt files
- Switch all config/cache file writes to atomic (tmpfile + rename)
- Add robust error handling to State.load() for corrupt JSON
- Update tests for new behavior and add coverage for atomic writes
- Add comprehensive tests for all packages (3572 tests, 100% branch coverage)
- Split oversized test files to stay under 500-line limit
- Add per-file ruff ignores for test-appropriate suppressions
- Fix _cache_decks.py to properly convert JSON lists to tuples
- Add session-scoped conftest fixture for logging handler cleanup (Python 3.14)
- Update ruff pre-commit hook to v0.15.2
- Add codespell ignore words for test data
- Add generated output files to .gitignore
The enforce daemon loaded state once at startup and never reloaded it.
When the CLI reassigned a game (e.g. via 'done'), the daemon kept
enforcing the old assignment and deleted the newly assigned game every
3 seconds as 'unauthorized'.
Fix: reload state from disk at the top of each enforce loop iteration
so CLI changes take effect within one cycle.
Also add steam://install protocol handler for interactive installs
(via xdg-open) so Steam determines the correct installdir from its
own metadata, avoiding 'Missing game executable' errors from guessed
directory names in fabricated appmanifests.
