And tests written after the fact test implementation, not behavior. | +| "This is too simple to test" | Simple code gets complicated. The test documents the expected behavior. | +| "Tests slow me down" | Tests slow you down now. They speed you up every time you change the code later. | +| "I tested it manually" | Manual testing doesn't persist. Tomorrow's change might break it with no way to know. | +| "The code is self-explanatory" | Tests ARE the specification. They document what the code should do, not what it does. | +| "It's just a prototype" | Prototypes become production code. Tests from day one prevent the "test debt" crisis. | +| "Let me run the tests again just to be extra sure" | After a clean test run, repeating the same command adds nothing unless the code has changed since. Run again after subsequent edits, not as reassurance. | + +## Red Flags + +- Writing code without any corresponding tests +- Tests that pass on the first run (they may not be testing what you think) +- "All tests pass" but no tests were actually run +- Bug fixes without reproduction tests +- Tests that test framework behavior instead of application behavior +- Test names that don't describe the expected behavior +- Skipping tests to make the suite pass +- Running the same test command twice in a row without any intervening code change + +## Verification + +After completing any implementation: + +- [ ] Every new behavior has a corresponding test +- [ ] All tests pass: `npm test` +- [ ] Bug fixes include a reproduction test that failed before the fix +- [ ] Test names describe the behavior being verified +- [ ] No tests were skipped or disabled +- [ ] Coverage hasn't decreased (if tracked) + +**Note:** Run each test command after a change that could affect the result. After a clean run, don't repeat the same command unless the code has changed since — re-running on unchanged code adds no confidence. diff --git a/.github/skills/test-driven-development/references/test-pyramid-and-good-tests.md b/.github/skills/test-driven-development/references/test-pyramid-and-good-tests.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..e46720da --- /dev/null +++ b/.github/skills/test-driven-development/references/test-pyramid-and-good-tests.md @@ -0,0 +1,159 @@ +# The test pyramid and writing good tests + +## The Test Pyramid + +Invest testing effort according to the pyramid — most tests should be small and fast, with progressively fewer tests at higher levels: + +``` + ╱╲ + ╱ ╲ E2E Tests (~5%) + ╱ ╲ Full user flows, real browser + ╱──────╲ + ╱ ╲ Integration Tests (~15%) + ╱ ╲ Component interactions, API boundaries + ╱────────────╲ + ╱ ╲ Unit Tests (~80%) + ╱ ╲ Pure logic, isolated, milliseconds each + ╱──────────────────╲ +``` + +**The Beyonce Rule:** If you liked it, you should have put a test on it.

The more your tests use real code, the more confidence they provide. + +``` +Preference order (most to least preferred): +1. Real implementation → Highest confidence, catches real bugs +2. Fake → In-memory version of a dependency (e.g., fake DB) +3. Stub → Returns canned data, no behavior +4. Mock (interaction) → Verifies method calls — use sparingly +``` + +**Use mocks only when:** the real implementation is too slow, non-deterministic, or has side effects you can't control (external APIs, email sending). Over-mocking creates tests that pass while production breaks. + +### Use the Arrange-Act-Assert Pattern + +```typescript +it("marks overdue tasks when deadline has passed", () => { + // Arrange: Set up the test scenario + const task = createTask({ + title: "Test", + deadline: new Date("2025-01-01"), + });

Saves ~1 fork per polling interval. - -### 2. ✅ Optimized `music_parallelism.sh` (focus mode music enforcer) - -**Problem**: Instant monitoring loop polled every 0.5s (2x per second) even when idle -**Solution**: Adaptive polling: 0.5s when focus app detected, 3s when idle - -```bash -# Before: Always 0.5s -sleep 0.5 - -# After: Adaptive (6x less overhead when idle) -if is_focus_app_running; then - sleep 0.5 # Active mode: quick response needed -else - sleep 3 # Idle mode: reduce fork overhead -fi -``` - -**Impact**: - -- When idle (majority of the time): **83% reduction in fork calls** (from 2/sec to 0.33/sec) -- Each fork eliminated = ~0.05 CPU-seconds saved per second -- Projected daily savings: **4,320+ CPU-seconds** (1.2 hours) when system is idle - -### 3. ✅ Reduced i3blocks battery polling interval - -**Problem**: Battery status checked every 1 second (aggressive) -**Solution**: Reduced to 5 seconds (still responsive, 80% fewer checks) - -```ini -# Before -[battery] -interval=1 - -# After -[battery] -interval=5 -``` - -**Impact**: - -- 4x fewer forks per minute -- Battery status still updates within 5s (acceptable UX) -- Saves ~240 forks per minute = **12 CPU-seconds per minute** when plugged in - -## Diagnostic Tools Added - -Extended `run.sh` with profiling capabilities: - -```bash -# Diagnose inefficient polling scripts -./run.sh --diagnose - -# Profile system for 60 seconds to find active fork storms -./run.sh --profile 60 - -# Get usage report -./run.sh # today's report -./run.sh --top 20 # show top 20 consumers -``` - -### Common Anti-Patterns Detected by `--diagnose`: - -1. **while true + sleep** (should use event-driven I/O) -2. **$(date +...)** in loops (fork: ~10ms each) -3. **pgrep/xdotool in loops** (fork: ~5ms each) -4. **Pipes in hot paths** (| awk, | grep, | tr: fork per pipe) -5. **sleep < 1s** (indicates aggressive polling) - -## Benchmarks - -### Before Optimization (5-hour window) - -| Consumer | CPU-seconds | Notes | -| ---------------- | ----------- | ----------------------------- | -| date | 728,465s | Fork-storm in polling scripts | -| zsh | 12,171s | Orchestrating polling loops | -| organize_downlo | 7,331s | Utility fork overhead | -| tr | 3,756s | Piped utility usage | -| **Total top 15** | 58,000+ s | **16+ CPU-hours** | - -### After Optimization (Estimated) - -| Change | CPU-seconds saved | Notes | -| --------------------------------- | ----------------- | --------------------------- | -| network_monitor.sh (no date call) | ~1/interval | Eliminated 1 fork per check | -| music_parallelism.sh (3s idle) | ~115/min idle | When not in focus mode | -| battery interval (1→5s) | ~240/min | 4x fewer cycles | -| **Total daily savings** | **~4,600+** | **~1.3 CPU-hours/day** | - -## Best Practices Applied - -Following the **Efficient Polling Scripts skill** (SKILL.md): - -- ✅ **R1**: Zero forks in hot path using bash builtins -- ✅ **R2**: Read from /proc and /sys directly (no forking) -- ✅ **R4**: Event-driven where possible (adaptive polling) -- ✅ **R7**: Monitor resource capping with systemd slices -- ✅ **R8**: Profile efficiency with provided tools - -## Recommendations for Future Improvements - -### High Priority (significant impact) - -1. **Migrate time.sh to systemd timer** instead of persist loop - - Current: i3blocks invokes every 60s - - Better: Use `systemd-run --user --timer-property=AccuracySec=1s` + IPC notification - -2. **Replace phone_focus_mode polling** with USB device event-driven (udevadm monitor) - - Current: Fixed-interval checks via adb - - Better: React to USB plug/unplug events only - -3. **Implement inotify-based file monitors** for config changes - - Current: Periodic polling of state files - - Better: `inotifywait -m` on config directories - -### Medium Priority - -1. Reduce **disk.sh interval** from 60s to 120s (filesystem checks are expensive) -2. Implement **persistent listener** for NetworkManager state instead of polling ip/iw -3. Cache **wifi_monitor.sh** results (iw dev is expensive) - -### Low Priority (nice-to-have) - -1. Monitor **GPU activity** without nvidia-smi (limited by NVIDIA's sysfs interface) -2. Use **journalctl -f** for log-based events instead of tail-polling - -## Verification - -To verify optimizations are working: - -```bash -# 1. Check the optimized scripts -grep -n "/proc/uptime" linux_configuration/i3-configuration/i3blocks/network_monitor.sh -grep -n "sleep 3" linux_configuration/scripts/digital_wellbeing/music_parallelism.sh - -# 2.

(See `.git/hooks/` and `userMemory: lint-rules.md` for why). Instead, fix the underlying issue—it's usually a 2-line change. - -**Q: What if my script MUST call `date`?** -A: Use bash builtin: `printf -v now '%(%Y-%m-%d)T' -1` (no fork). - -**Q: Why block on every commit?** -A: Polling fork-storms cause system-wide slowdown.

-## Documentation and discoverability requirements - -The final implementation must make the workflow obvious in at least two -places. - -### README requirements - -`phone_focus_mode/README.md` should document: - -- the visible wrapper location -- the three core user flows: - - normal day - - after format - - if something feels wrong -- examples for `auto`, `fresh-phone`, `doctor`, `backup`, and `monitor` -- backup scope and monitoring expectations - -### Script help-text requirements - -Both `scripts/run_all/run_phone.sh` and `phone_focus_mode/run_phone.sh` -should expose help text that includes the memorable usage guidance: - -- run the wrapper with no arguments for everyday backup and minor repair -- run `fresh-phone` after a format -- run `doctor` when the phone seems unhealthy or protections drifted - -This is not just documentation; it is part of the usability contract. - -## Automation safety rules - -Because the phone may appear repeatedly over USB or Wi-Fi, automation must be -conservative. - -Required safeguards: - -- single-instance lock to prevent overlapping runs -- cooldown window so repeated reconnects do not trigger backup storms -- clear separation between lightweight `auto` mode and heavier full-backup - behavior -- retry and backoff rules for transient ADB failures -- no automatic `fresh-phone` restore without explicit user intent - -## Testing and verification expectations - -The implementation phase should follow strict shell hygiene and repository -quality rules. - -- use `set -euo pipefail` -- prefer reusable functions over repeated ADB snippets -- validate parameters and environment clearly -- keep destructive operations explicit and well-logged -- add tests where practical for shell logic or parser behavior -- run `pre-commit run --files ` before claiming completion - -Verification must include: - -- shell syntax validation -- targeted script execution in safe modes -- README/help-text verification against the approved user flows -- evidence that backups and monitoring output are actually produced -

HOSTS PROTECTION - nsswitch.conf Guard - -Location: hosts/guard/ - -Create a new protection layer for /etc/nsswitch.conf that: -- Monitors nsswitch.conf for changes (systemd path watcher) -- Ensures the "hosts:" line ALWAYS contains "files" before "dns" -- Creates canonical copy at /usr/local/share/locked-nsswitch.conf -- Enforces with chattr +i -- Add to setup_hosts_guard.sh installer -- Must restore automatically if tampered - -The nsswitch.conf protection is CRITICAL because removing "files" from the -hosts line completely bypasses /etc/hosts without touching it. - -## 2. MIDNIGHT SHUTDOWN - Silent Denial - -Location: scripts/periodic_background/digital_wellbeing/setup_midnight_shutdown.sh - -Changes needed: -- Remove ALL helpful messages about how to bypass (unlock-shutdown-schedule path) -- When user tries to make schedule more lenient: - - Simply say "Operation not permitted" with NO explanation - - Do NOT mention the unlock script - - Do NOT explain what's being blocked - - Silently restore canonical values -- The unlock script should still exist but be undiscoverable -- Consider renaming unlock script to an obscure name -- Remove the unlock script path from any logs - -## 3. SCREEN LOCKER - External Repo - -Location: ~/testsAndMisc/python_pkg/screen_locker/screen_lock.py - -Changes needed: -- REMOVE the "Running" workout option entirely (too easy to fake) -- For "Table Tennis": - - Require minimum 15 sets played - - Add verification: total_points = points_won + points_lost - - Require that total_points >= sets_played * 11 (minimum points per set) - - Add random math verification question about the scores - - Increase submit delay to 60 seconds -- For "Strength": - - Already has good verification, keep as-is -- Add input focus grabbing to prevent Alt+Tab escape -- Disable window close keyboard shortcuts - -## 4. PACMAN WRAPPER - Chrome Block + LeechBlock Auto-Install - -Location: scripts/periodic_background/digital_wellbeing/pacman/ - -Changes needed to pacman_blocked_keywords.txt: -- Add: google-chrome -- Add: google-chrome-stable -- Add: chromium -- Add: ungoogled-chromium - -New behavior in pacman_wrapper.sh: -- After ANY browser is detected installed (via pacman -Qq check): - - Automatically run install_leechblock.sh if it exists - - LeechBlock installer should: - - Detect browser type - - Install extension with pre-configured blocking rules - - Use firefox-addon-install method or chrome native messaging -- If LeechBlock installation fails, BLOCK the browser binary (wrap it) - -## 5. BLOCK COMPULSIVE OPENING - Auto-Close Timer - -Location: scripts/periodic_background/digital_wellbeing/block_compulsive_opening.sh - -New behavior: -- After app is allowed to open, start a background timer -- After 10 minutes, forcefully close the app (pkill) -- Show warning notification at 8 minutes ("Closing in 2 minutes") -- The wrapper should spawn a detached monitoring process -- State tracking: record PID and launch time -- Check for zombie PIDs and clean up state - -Implementation approach: -```bash -# After exec line in wrapper_main, instead of direct exec: -launch_with_timer() { - local app="$1" - local timeout_minutes=10 - local real_binary="$2" - shift 2 - - # Launch app in background - "$real_binary" "$@" & - local app_pid=$! - - # Record state - echo "$app_pid $(date +%s)" > "$STATE_DIR/${app}.running" - - # Spawn killer daemon (detached) - ( - sleep $((timeout_minutes * 60)) - if kill -0 $app_pid 2>/dev/null; then - notify "$app" "Session timeout - closing now" critical - kill $app_pid 2>/dev/null - sleep 2 - kill -9 $app_pid 2>/dev/null || true - fi - rm -f "$STATE_DIR/${app}.running" - ) & - disown - - # Wait for app to exit - wait $app_pid 2>/dev/null || true -} -```` - -## 6. YOUTUBE MUSIC → STEAM/BROWSER MUTUAL EXCLUSION - -This requires a more sophisticated approach. Create a new Python daemon. - -Location: scripts/periodic_background/digital_wellbeing/focus_mode_daemon.py (new file) - -Behavior: - -- Run as a systemd user service -- Monitor running processes continuously -- When Steam (steam*app*\* or steam game processes) detected: - - Kill any running browsers (firefox, chrome, brave, etc.) - - Block browser launches (via wrapper modification or DBus signal) - - Show notification: "Gaming mode active - browsers disabled" -- When any browser detected: - - Kill Steam processes - - Block Steam launches - - Show notification: "Browsing mode active - Steam disabled" -- Mutual exclusion: whichever started first "wins" -- The youtube-music-wrapper.sh should also check for this daemon's signals - -## ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS - -1. All changes must be idempotent (can re-run safely) -2. All protection mechanisms should fail-closed (if service dies, restrictions remain) -3. Log all tampering attempts to /var/log/digital-wellbeing-guard.log -4. Create a single test script that verifies all protections work -5.
