setup_hosts_guard.sh was NEXT_SESSION_PROMPT.md's next split target, but
live-machine inspection showed it (and 16 supporting files - enforce-*.sh,
6 systemd units, install_pacman_hooks.sh, pacman-hooks/, psychological/,
both READMEs) is fully retired in favor of guard-lib, migrated 2026-07-04.
User confirmed archive over split, then confirmed the larger 17-file scope
once the directory was surveyed. Full history preserved via git filter-repo,
live at github.com/kuhyx/testsAndMisc-archive/tree/main/linux_configuration/scripts/periodic_background/hosts/guard.
plugins/{nsswitch,resolved}-plugin.sh stay - they're guard-lib's live
plugins, referenced by absolute path from /etc/guard-lib/targets/*.conf.
check_and_enable_services.sh's check_hosts() rewritten to check guard-lib
state (guardctl file-guard status) instead of the retired units/scripts it
used to check and self-repair - verified live, now reports the hosts
service ok against the actual migrated machine instead of a false error.
copilot-instructions.md and one install.sh comment updated to match.

The network layer was the wrong place for this. Tested remotely today: opening RethinkDNS and switching off its device blocklists un-blocked YouTube in a few taps, and no device owner API can stop that -- an on-device filter app always owns its own rules.
App hiding is different. 'pm unhide' from adb shell throws a SecurityException and the package stays hidden; only the device owner can reverse it, and reaching that costs a factory reset. So the block moves there, scoped to an explicit allowlist and the home geofence.
Both whitelists are rewritten from the apps that actually exist on this phone. The old ones described the rooted Blackview. Every browser is excluded now, so at home a link does not open at all -- confirmed as intended.
LAUNCHER_PACKAGE was still the Blackview's launcher, which is not installed here. The exporter refused to render the policy twice over it -- precisely what that check is for.
The network layer stays a soft deterrent by choice: pinned and uninstall-blocked, but without lockdown, and its blocklists remain switchable.
Private DNS is implemented but ships disabled. stunnel logged zero connections from the handset across two pin attempts, so the router does not forward 853.

Immutable git-tracked files break git tooling. The pre-push ci-mirror gate
runs `pre-commit run --all-files`; end-of-file-fixer opens every file rb+
and dies with "PermissionError: Operation not permitted", so no push from a
normal checkout could ever succeed — every push had to be routed through a
throwaway worktree (a fresh checkout gets new, non-immutable inodes). The
same immutability also breaks pre-commit's unstaged-changes stash: the
`git checkout -- .` unlink fails, the restore never runs, and unrelated
unstaged edits are silently reverted.
Enforcement does not depend on these sources being locked: /etc/hosts is
itself chattr +i, hosts-guard.path watches and re-enforces it via
enforce-hosts.sh against the locked-hosts canonical snapshot, and
hosts-bind-mount.service pins it. Editing the sources changes nothing until
install.sh is re-run as root, which regenerates the guarded artifacts.
Companion to 6e3d61d (same fix for setup_midnight_shutdown.sh).

- Screen locker: disable VT switching (Ctrl+Alt+Fn) via setxkbmap
srvrkeys:none on startup; restore on close (production mode only).
Gracefully skips if setxkbmap is not installed (shutil.which).
Tests: 7 new tests, 100% branch coverage maintained.
- Midnight shutdown: restore real schedule values (Mon-Wed 21:00,
Thu-Sun 22:00, morning end 05:00); re-enable the three commented-out
leniency checks in check_schedule_protection(); self-lock script with
chattr +i at end of enable_midnight_shutdown().
- Hosts install: add UNBLOCK_STATE_FILE tracking for whitelisted domains;
check_unblock_entries_protection() blocks installation if the unblock
list grows; save state after install; self-lock install.sh and
generate_hosts_file.sh with chattr +i.
