Renames this repo's markdown onto README.md / CLAUDE*.md / DOCS*.md / TODO*.md so a future session can tell a live task from a finished record without reading the file to find out. TODO files carry the literal "REMOVE ME AFTER FINISH" and are deleted when the work lands. Enforced by the md-naming pre-commit hook and CI workflow, both delegating to the shared gate in kuhyx/utils so this repo's idea of a valid name cannot drift from every other repo's.

## Part 2: Language Considerations
|
|
|
|
### Shell (Bash) Limitations
|
|
|
|
**Pros:**
|
|
|
|
- Native to the system, no dependencies
|
|
- Direct access to systemd, chattr, filesystem
|
|
- Fast for simple operations
|
|
|
|
**Cons:**
|
|
|
|
- No persistent daemon capability (need systemd for that)
|
|
- Race conditions in file operations
|
|
- Complex state management is fragile
|
|
- No proper event loop for window monitoring
|
|
- Cannot easily monitor process list in real-time
|
|
|
|
### Python Advantages for Certain Tasks
|
|
|
|
**Where Python would be better:**
|
|
|
|
1. **Process monitoring daemon** - Watch for Steam/browsers in real-time with proper event loop
|
|
2. **Window management** - Using `python-xlib` for proper X11 interaction
|
|
3. **Complex state machines** - Like the screen locker
|
|
4. **Cross-repo integration** - The screen_lock.py already shows good patterns
|
|
|
|
### Recommendation
|
|
|
|
| Component | Keep Bash | Move to Python | Reason |
|
|
| ----------------- | --------- | -------------- | ------------------------------------ |
|
|
| hosts guard | ✅ | | Simple file ops, systemd integration |
|
|
| shutdown schedule | ✅ | | Systemd timers, config files |
|
|
| screen locker | | ✅ Already | Complex UI, state machine |
|
|
| pacman wrapper | ✅ | | Must intercept pacman |
|
|
| compulsive block | | ✅ | Needs daemon for auto-close |
|
|
| music wrapper | | ✅ | Needs real-time process monitoring |
|
|
|
|
**New Python Daemon Needed:** A single "digital wellbeing daemon" that:
|
|
|
|
1. Monitors running processes
|
|
2. Auto-closes apps after timeout
|
|
3. Enforces Steam/browser mutual exclusion
|
|
4. Can be controlled via DBus
