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.

"""Fake libX11 / libXss / libXRes handles so no test needs an X server.

The real modules talk to X through ``ctypes``, which means the seam worth
|

faking is the shared-library handle itself. These stand-ins return the same
|
|
kinds of values Xlib does — an integer display pointer, a struct pointer, a
|
|
status code — and, where the C API writes through a pointer argument, actually
|
|
write through it, so the calling code is exercised rather than bypassed.
