The on-device focus enforcer was overheating the phone by rebuilding
firewall rules every tick. State-gate the work instead:
- dns_enforcer.sh: only rebuild the DNS chain when it's missing, detached
from OUTPUT, or the wrong rule count (chain_intact/expected_rule_count),
instead of flushing+reinserting ~50-100 rules every tick (~50% netd CPU).
- config.sh: throttle CURFEW_NET_REASSERT_INTERVAL 1s -> 15s (1s forked
iptables every second all night, overheating); also whitelist
com.kuhy.wake_alarm_sync (general + curfew-night lists).
- focus_daemon.sh: build the blocked-system-apps file once at startup and
memoize is_allowed() per tick.
- deploy.sh: drop `su --mount-master` (removed in Magisk v26+).
- SKILL.md: document the state-change-gate polling pattern.
Verification: shellcheck clean; no-polling-antipatterns + evidence/contract
hooks pass. Evidence + contract artifacts included.
