The previous commit's message claimed "no re-export barrel". That was
wrong: usage_report.py still did
from _usage_report_render import _fmt_h, _render_report
and after the split _fmt_h lives in _usage_report_format - the render
module only re-imports it for _methodology_section. So the import reached
the owner through an intermediary, which is the exact pattern the brief
says was vetoed last session. Now each name comes from its own module.
Also untracks bucket_catch/packages/frontend/tsconfig.tsbuildinfo and
gitignores *.tsbuildinfo. It is a generated incremental-build cache
tracked in a repo that blocks binaries, and it has been dirty in every
commit this session, forcing pre-commit to stash each time.
143 tests pass; usage_report.py still generates a real report.

Verified by the 100%-coverage tests from the previous commit, written
before this seam existed.
_cpu_table/_dedupe_ram/_ram_table/_gpu_table move to
_usage_report_tables.py with the two constants they own. _md_escape and
_fmt_h move to _usage_report_format.py: both the tables module and the
render module need them, so a third module is what avoids a cycle.
Import sites name the owning module; no re-export barrel.
usage_report.py needed no edit - it imports _fmt_h and _render_report
from the render module, and both names still resolve there.
Evidence the move was verbatim: an AST comparison of all 10 functions
against HEAD reports 10 identical, 0 mismatches. That matters because I
retyped rather than cut-and-pasted, and did briefly introduce a literal
× where the original had × - ruff's RUF001 caught it.
Coverage stays 100% line+branch on all three (15/55/54 stmts, 4/10/14
branches, 0 missed). Test count 43 before and after, summed across the
five files it now lives in - the check that matters for a test split,
since a file outside the runner's glob is silently never collected.
Directory total 143 passed, unchanged.
Ran the real program: a full report from today's atop + pmon logs, every
section rendering through the new boundaries including the RAM sibling
dedupe and its (+20 more) truncation.
Over-cap 41 -> 39. No suppressions; a shared test-helper module was tried
and abandoned because name-tests-test would have needed an exclusion.

The 290-line installer was 40 over the 250-line cap. Its five banner-marked
steps move into a sibling lib/, leaving a 53-line entry that owns log()/die(),
the globals that cross between steps, and the call order.
Proven by execution, not inspection: meta/scripts/trace_shell_split.sh
--prefix was captured at HEAD in place (tracing from a detached worktree
changes REPO_DIR, which is interpolated into a generated file, and fakes a
diff), then re-run after the split. The traces are identical -- same exit
status, same ordered stubbed calls, and all five generated-file hashes
unchanged, including usage-report-catchup.sh at sha=9f4803ab157c5527.
REPO_DIR is computed once in the entry and read as a global rather than
recomputed inside a lib one directory deeper; recomputing it would have
pointed the generated catch-up script at the wrong repo while still exiting 0.
test_usage_monitoring_installer_efficiency.sh greps the installer's source
text for the pmon heredoc, so it follows that heredoc to lib/nvidia_pmon.sh.
Its extraction anchor also had to become whitespace-insensitive: the
pre-commit hook runs `shfmt -w` on staged shell files and rewrites
`cat > "x" << 'SCRIPT'` to `cat >"x" <<'SCRIPT'`, which silently broke
extraction. All five property assertions are unchanged.

Thorium was "closing and dying randomly" with no evidence anywhere.
Two independent structural causes, both now fixed:
1. Crashpad was never enabled -- no crash_reporting consent key and an
empty crash DB, so no minidump was ever written.
2. stderr from a dmenu/.desktop launch reaches no terminal and no
journal. The only Thorium lines ever seen in the journal came from a
systemd-launched instance, which is why they survived.
browser-preexec-wrapper.sh now gives every Chromium-family launch its own
log under $XDG_STATE_HOME/browser-crash-logs: a VRAM/RAM/kernel/driver
snapshot before start, the browser's stderr, and on exit the exit code,
decoded signal, and a SECOND VRAM snapshot. Those two snapshots plus the
signal are the discriminator between the live hypotheses -- a VRAM death
shows NVRM/NV_ERR_NO_MEMORY or near-full VRAM at exit, a stale-binary
death shows SIGSEGV with the GPU idle. Root cause is deliberately NOT
asserted here; the next crash decides it from evidence.
Three details that are load-bearing rather than incidental:
- The exit record is written from a signal trap, not inline after
`wait`. If the wrapper itself is killed, an inline block never runs
and the log ends mid-stream with no verdict -- indistinguishable
from a browser that is still running.
- The browser is a direct redirect, NOT a pipe into a size filter: in
a pipeline `wait` reports the last element's status, discarding the
browser's signal, which is the one fact worth capturing.
- Logs are capped by bytes as well as count. Measured: ~2 MB per 45s
of navigation (65% VERBOSE1 net/TLS chatter), ~0 while idle. Count
alone would not bound disk use, and a full disk causes exactly the
random deaths under investigation.
setup_periodic_system.sh: rewrite Chromium "app mode" .desktop entries
(Exec=/opt/<browser>/...) to go through /usr/local/bin. These are
auto-generated and bypass the wrapper entirely, so neither the flags file
nor the logging applied to them -- five Thorium entries were found still
launching without the --disable-gpu-compositing mitigation added on
2026-07-25, two weeks after the fact. Runs on every install because
Chromium regenerates the files.
pacman_whitelist.txt: allow the exact package name `librewolf`. The
`librewolf` keyword stays blocked, as do all other Firefox forks. It is
LeechBlock-enforced via /etc/librewolf/policies (force_installed), so
this is not an unfiltered escape hatch; it is needed because Chromium's
MV2 sunset ends full uBlock Origin with all filter lists, which the Gecko
build keeps.
Verified: shellcheck clean, no lint suppressions; fake-browser SIGSEGV
and wrapper-SIGTERM both produce a verdict; trim watchdog bounds a
runaway log; kill -SEGV on the real /opt/thorium-browser/thorium wrote
"exit code: 139 / died on signal: 11 (SEGV)"; librewolf installs and
loads with uBO + LeechBlock active.

Both tools swallowed failures. execute_with_log appended one line to a log
nobody reads and returned 0, so the systemd oneshot reported SUCCESS.
check_and_enable_services printed one err line among ~100 and exited 0.
That is why the 2026-05-15 reorg silently killed the pacman-wrapper and
hosts self-repair for five months with no visible symptom: check_hosts
detected the disabled hosts guards on every single run, could not find
setup_hosts_guard.sh at the stale $CONFIG_DIR/hosts path, and still exited 0.
Driver — any failure now surfaces four ways:
1. journal at ERROR priority (logger -p user.err)
2. the systemd unit FAILS (exit 1) -> systemctl --failed / red timer
3. a critical desktop notification that never auto-dismisses
4. /var/lib/periodic-system-maintenance/LAST_RUN_FAILED breadcrumb
It also collects ALL failures rather than aborting on the first.
check_and_enable_services — a missing repair script means this tool cannot
do its job, so all 12 "script not found" sites now route through
err_missing_script(): journal ERROR priority, a terminal banner, and exit 2.
Healthy runs still exit 0 and clear the breadcrumb.
Verified: driver fed nonexistent paths -> exit 1, all 3 failures on stderr,
breadcrumb written, 3 journal ERROR entries. Live regenerate + real run ->
rc=0, all steps ok, no breadcrumb. Checker --status -> rc=0, no banner.

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)

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.

Deleted screen_replay.sh (x11grab ring-buffer) and kill_stale_recorders.sh
(stale-ffmpeg killer). Removed autostart exec and Mod+Shift+F12 binding from
i3/config; removed replay startup from dwm-session. Both scripts archived in
testsAndMisc-archive.

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.

- Move all linux_configuration scripts into two semantic categories:
- single_use/: scripts run once manually (fresh install, fixes, setup)
- periodic_background/: scripts run by systemd timers or daemons
- Preserve existing subdirectory structure within each category
- Fix lib/common.sh source paths for new directory depths
- Fix CONFIG_DIR depth in setup_periodic_system.sh and check_and_enable_services.sh
- Update all references in tests, fresh-install/main.sh, nix modules, and docs
- Fix check_polling_antipatterns.sh false positives (||, regex |, case patterns, jq strings)
- Fix pre-existing mypy exclusion path and type annotations for moved tools/ directory
- Rewrite check_polling_antipatterns.sh using awk (no bash regex loops); add require_serial: true
