The GTK tray icon was the only status surface, and it had been commented out
of ~/.config/i3/config since 2026-08-21. With nothing in the bar, the locker
miscounted the week for a fortnight and the machine never said so.
Shows "<count>/<minimum> · <gaming budget>", read from the local status API
(screen-locker-web.service on 127.0.0.1:8770); clicking opens the full UI.
Three things it deliberately will not do quietly:
- a dead status server renders "status server down" in red, or the last known
value marked (stale) in orange -- never a blank block. That server is what
the gaming budget reads, so its absence costs two hours;
- a disarmed or unscheduled timer overrides the compliance colour entirely
and shows "DISARMED" in red. A locker that cannot fire is the worse
problem and the one that hides;
- clicking only opens the UI. There is no bar action that can clear a lock.

i3 config was filed under periodic_background, which it never was. It is
now linux_configuration/i3/ (config + installer) and
linux_configuration/i3blocks/ (the status scripts), both at depth 2.
misc/testsAndMisc-bash/ was a directory named after the repo it already
lived in, so its contents moved up to misc/. Its stray .gitignore came
along, keeping the media rules working from the new location; its
.vscode/tasks.json did not, because it invoked Bash/transcribe.sh, a path
this repo dropped long ago.
Most of this commit is the references the previous flatten missed. Its
regex skipped anything with a variable prefix, which left 16 files --
including check_and_enable_services.sh and install_core_system.sh, the
orchestrators -- still naming $CONFIG_DIR/scripts/periodic_background/...
It had also rewritten three i3 paths into scripts/i3blocks/, a directory
that has never existed; the i3blocks suites caught that by failing.
13 more symlinks broke on the i3 move. Repointed, and cpu_monitor/volume/
disk were run again to confirm the bar still reports.
Depth 139 -> 104. Roughly 47 of the remainder sit in digital_wellbeing
and hosts, still deferred. The rest encode real structure -- a C project,
Python package directories, artgate's routes/styles, systemd unit dirs --
so flattening them further would destroy information rather than
taxonomy.
Verified: 1798 tests at 100%, both i3blocks suites pass, the shell
coverage gate is clean, and the relocated media rules still ignore what
they should while test_fw.srt stays tracked.
