The last three exclusions are gone.
test_i3blocks_efficiency.sh only ever needed strace and ptrace. It went
unverified earlier because Docker's bridge network has no DNS on this
machine, so pacman could not install strace; --network=host works, and
the test passes. The job installs strace and adds SYS_PTRACE.
test_hosts_guard_pacman_integration.sh asserted three symbols the
guard-lib refactor renamed (pacman_hooks_manage_hosts_guard ->
pacman_hooks_manage_guard_lib, and similar). The feature was intact;
only the assertions were stale.
test_security_hardening.sh now separates live-host checks from
repository checks. Off-host the live ones skip, so it is green in a
container while still running its repository checks — and on the real
host it still fails loudly when a guard unit is down.
That last part needed care: the first detection attempt used
`systemctl is-system-running`, which exits non-zero on a degraded
system — precisely the state a failed guard unit produces. It masked
all four real failures. Detection now tests for /run/systemd/system
plus the installed guard payload, which unit health does not affect.
Verified: all 8 arch tests pass in a container; the same
security-hardening file still reports 4 failures on this host.
Adds an arch-tests job on archlinux:base-devel so the pacman wrapper,
makepkg wrapper and hosts-guard tests finally run somewhere. They need
an Arch userland and root, which a disposable container provides.
Four more tests still referenced pre-reorganisation paths and could
never find their targets; repairing them took the container set from
two passing to five. All five were verified with --network=none, so
the job installs nothing beyond git (base-devel ships no git, and
actions/checkout needs it).
Also removes the silent-failure mode behind the earlier
music_parallelism confusion. The test now derives its temp-worktree
path from the script's real position instead of hardcoding the depth,
checks up front that ../../lib/common.sh resolves to the stub, and has
the stub write a marker asserted after every run. Previously a
reorganisation made the script source the real
/usr/local/lib/common.sh, so the test measured the live system and
failed as though the daemon were broken.
Three tests stay out, each for a different reason, documented in the
workflow: test_i3blocks_efficiency.sh needs strace and could not be
verified locally (containers here have no DNS);
test_hosts_guard_pacman_integration.sh fails a real assertion worth
investigating; test_security_hardening.sh asserts live host state and
can never pass in a fresh container.
Both tests excluded from CI last commit turned out to be stale rather
than catching regressions. Neither covered script needed changing.
test_music_parallelism.sh built its temp worktree at
scripts/digital_wellbeing/, but music_parallelism.sh resolves its
library as $SCRIPT_DIR/../../lib/common.sh — two levels up, correct
for the real scripts/periodic_background/digital_wellbeing/ location.
From the shallower path that resolved outside the worktree, so the
stubbed common.sh was never sourced and the script fell through to the
real /usr/local/lib/common.sh on the machine. The test was exercising
the live library and ignoring its own MOCK_FOCUS_ACTIVE, which is why
idle mode looked like it waited 15s instead of 30s. The daemon was
correct all along.
test_usage_monitoring_installer_efficiency.sh demanded a literal
'sleep 60'. The logger template no longer polls: it sleeps once until
midnight via seconds_until_next_day, then blocks on wait for the pmon
child — strictly fewer wakeups than the assertion required. Replaced
with assertions on that property so a return to polling still fails.
Allowlist extended from four tests to six.
The shell tests under linux_configuration/tests/ never ran anywhere:
no workflow executed them, so they rotted silently. Three referenced
script paths that moved under scripts/periodic_background/ in an
earlier reorganisation, and test_android_guardian_service.sh created
its temp worktree at a different path from the one it copied into, so
its cp could never succeed.
The new workflow runs the bats suites plus an explicit allowlist of
side-effect-free tests. Roughly eight others drive pacman, /etc,
systemd or adb and need root plus an Arch container, so they stay out.
Repairing the paths uncovered two genuine failures, deliberately left
out of the allowlist because they look like real regressions in the
scripts they cover rather than stale assertions:
- test_music_parallelism.sh expects idle mode to wait
IDLE_CHECK_INTERVAL (30s); the daemon waits 15s, so it wakes twice
as often as intended when idle.
- test_usage_monitoring_installer_efficiency.sh expects the logger
template to sleep between day-rollover checks.
Both need a fix in the covered scripts, not in the tests.
Diagnosing "Steam downloads are slow" kept pointing at the ISP because
every averaged measurement showed a steady ~170 Mbps. Sampling at 1s
instead of 5s showed that plateau does not exist: the link alternates
between ~450 Mbps bursts and multi-second stalls. Effective rate is
burst x duty_cycle, and only the second factor was wrong.
steam-download-duty.sh reports those two factors separately, which is
what the Steam UI cannot do. line-speed-probe.sh separates burst from
sustained throughput, because a single stream tops out near 180 Mbps on
this line and reads convincingly as ISP shaping when it is not — a
many-connection swarm reaches 986 Mbps with zero retransmits.
Arithmetic is extracted into pure helpers with main() behind a
BASH_SOURCE guard so the bats suite can source them without starting a
measurement. install.sh installs bats and links both scripts onto PATH.
Note: no CI workflow runs .sh/.bats tests, including the four shell
tests that predate this one, so the suite is manual-only for now.
Steam/browser mutual-exclusion daemon was unusable in its current state.
Removed all code, install tooling, and every reference across
install_core_system.sh, check_and_enable_services.sh, the security
hardening test suite, and CLAUDE.md.

Vendored makepkg's run_pacman() waits on /var/lib/pacman/db.lck existence
with no timeout BEFORE invoking pacman, so an orphaned lock hangs
`makepkg -i` forever ("Pacman is currently in use, please wait...") and
the pacman wrapper's stale-lock cleanup never gets a turn. Wrap makepkg
(mirroring the pacman-wrapper pattern) to clear an orphaned lock up front.
- Extract stale-lock logic into shared pacman_lock_lib.sh; pacman_wrapper
sources it after integrity verification and it is in the SHA256 manifest
- makepkg_wrapper: pre-flight clear for -i/--install; bypass on FAKEROOTKEY
and non-install; FAIL OPEN if the lib is missing (never brick makepkg)
- Cross-user pacman_process_running() pgrep guard: unprivileged makepkg can
detect a root pacman its own fuser cannot see (avoids removing a live lock)
- Upgrade survival: rewrap hook (Install/Upgrade only) + check_makepkg_wrapper
drift verifier + both wrappers wired into the hourly periodic driver
- Fix reorg path bugs: stale ~/linux-configuration periodic path,
$CONFIG_DIR/hosts -> scripts/periodic_background/hosts, test WRAPPER_DIR;
refresh .orig only when target isn't already our symlink (no exec loop)
- Tests: test_makepkg_wrapper.sh (18) incl. hook Operation validity; add
lib-integrity coverage to test_pacman_wrapper_security.sh (also path-fixed)

Add a self-expiring override system so specific late-night live events
(2026 World Cup matches) can be watched without the auto-shutdown killing
the PC, without weakening the permanent schedule ratchet:
- shutdown-override-manager.sh (add/list/remove): add is friction-gated
(typed confirmation phrase + 30s delay, max 12h, max 3 windows) and
writes absolute-epoch windows to /etc/shutdown-schedule-overrides.conf.
- day-specific-shutdown-check.sh now skips the shutdown decision inside an
active window (pruning expired entries) and gained a DRY_RUN guard around
rtcwake/poweroff/hibernate for safe testing.
i3blocks shutdown_countdown.sh: show the exact next-shutdown clock time
(not a relative countdown), show the overridden end time in green when an
override is active or will rescue the upcoming shutdown, and make the
skip-dates check fork-free (builtin read loop) so the hot path spawns no
external processes.
install.sh: deploy i3blocks by symlinking each repo file into
~/.config/i3blocks instead of cp -r (the source of silent drift), cd to
the script dir so it runs from anywhere, and chmod +x only *.sh so the
config file stays 0644.
Repair the previously-dead i3blocks regression suite (stale path), update
the shutdown assertion to the new absolute-time output, add hermetic
override coverage, and keep the <=1-exec fork-count guarantee.

setup_dns_blocker.sh turns this PC into a DNS server that serves the
identical /etc/hosts blocklist to the whole LAN with no per-device app,
by feeding generate_hosts_file.sh output into dnsmasq via addn-hosts
(same StevenBlack variant + custom entries + unblocks). Adds status/
refresh subcommands, a daily refresh timer, Restart=always, and logging
to /var/log/dns-blocker/.
Because the ISP router cannot advertise a custom DNS server, a dhcp/
dhcp-off mode makes the PC the LAN DHCP server (static IP via nmcli with
a gateway-ping self-check and safe, always-online rollback), handing out
itself as the DNS server so every device is blocked automatically.
setup_wireguard_ssh.sh gains an allow-dns subcommand that opens DNS (53,
LAN saddr) and DHCP (67) in the single-owner nftables ruleset. The DHCP
accept rule is placed before 'ct state invalid drop' because the
0.0.0.0->255.255.255.255 DHCP broadcast is classified INVALID and was
otherwise dropped. Firewall detection now reads the actual loaded ruleset
(a ruleset can be loaded while nftables.service reads inactive) and avoids
a grep -q/pipefail SIGPIPE false-negative.
Verified end-to-end: Pixel-6a leased 192.168.1.82 with DNS 192.168.1.43;
youtube.com blocked, legit sites resolve. Regression tests added.

Split diet_guard/_gatelock.py, wake_alarm/_alarm.py, and the
usage_report.py/_usage_report_parsing.py pair into focused
sub-modules so every Python file is <= 500 lines, satisfying
test_file_length.py. Install python-kasa into .venv (declared in
requirements but missing after the 3.13->3.14 venv upgrade),
fixing 8 failing smart_plug tests and restoring 100% coverage.
Also includes prior in-progress work from the working tree: the
wake_alarm Progress/View/Hardware field-grouping refactor,
brother_printer query module + tests, diet_guard foodbank/state/cli
updates, new shared coerce/logging_setup helpers, morning_routine
orchestrator tweaks, dwm window-manager config, gaming scripts, and
misc maintenance/digital-wellbeing script updates.

atop's `-P PRC` output inserts the clock-tick rate (HZ=100) between the
`state` and `utime` columns. Both the Python parser and the native C
aggregator read that constant as utime for every record, charging a flat
1 CPU-second per record — so cpu_seconds collapsed to pid_count and
short-lived fork-storm commands (xset, dd, chronyc) topped the CPU table
(xset showed 67h). The old test fixtures lacked the HZ field, so code and
tests agreed on the bug.
- _parse_prc / atop_agg.c: read utime/stime past the HZ field (after+2/+3,
tokens[10]/[11]); bump the length guards accordingly
- restore C/atop_agg (deleted in 89b4f59) under linux_configuration/C/,
where the build path resolves; corrected test fixtures to include HZ
- _atop_agg_binary: fall back to the Python parser when the C source tree
is gone instead of trusting an orphaned cached binary
- add regression tests proving HZ is not summed as CPU
- bundle the in-progress since-last-report multi-day aggregation (segments,
-b/-e bounding, persisted state, window merging) and its tests/conftest
- meta: gate linux_configuration/tests in pytest_changed_packages.py
Verified by running usage_report.py --date 20260604: Top CPU now led by
SkyrimSE; xset/dd/chronyc fall to ~0. C unit tests + full pytest suite green.
