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.

Steam Backlog Enforcer
Forces you to 100% complete one Steam game at a time before moving on.
Features
- Achievement tracking: Picks the next game by shortest HLTB completionist time
- Store blocking: Blocks
store.steampowered.comvia/etc/hosts - Game uninstalling: Removes all installed games except the assigned one
- Process enforcement: Kills unauthorized game processes
- Tampering detection: Detects achievement unlocks on non-assigned games
- HLTB integration: Estimates completion time with persistent cache
Setup
python -m python_pkg.steam_backlog_enforcer.main setup
Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
scan |
Scan library, fetch HLTB data, assign game |
check |
Check if assigned game is complete |
status |
Show current assignment and blocking |
list |

setup |
First-time configuration |
Enforce mode
sudo python -m python_pkg.steam_backlog_enforcer.main enforce
This will:
- Block Steam store in
/etc/hosts - Uninstall all games except the assigned one
- Continuously kill any unauthorized game processes
Game Uninstall
Directly removes appmanifest files and game directories from ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/.
Preserves Proton versions and Steam Linux Runtime.
python -m python_pkg.steam_backlog_enforcer.main uninstall
MCP server (Claude Code integration)
The enforcer exposes an MCP server (steam_backlog_enforcer._mcp) so Claude Code
and its subagents can query the backlog and drive it through typed tools.
- Read tools:
get_dataset,get_status,get_stats,list_backlog. - Gated write tools:
pick_manual,block_gaming— each defaults to a dry-run preview; passconfirm=trueto actually apply. These write tools must never be added to a permission allowlist (a subagent could otherwise bypass the human confirmation).
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).
Restart Claude Code in this repo and approve the project MCP-server prompt for it
to load. Verify with claude mcp list.
