Focus mode flapped in and out of GAMING mode every few seconds and killed
browsers while no Steam was running. The pattern matching was not at
fault: the daemon was correctly seeing a process named "steam". That
process was a root-owned zombie.
A total gaming block on 2026-07-04 purged the Steam client and it was
never reinstalled, but steam-backlog-enforcer kept trying to launch it
through an orphaned /usr/local/bin/steam wrapper still pointing at the
deleted /usr/bin/steam. Each launch died on exec and, never being reaped,
lingered as a dead process that still carried the name "steam" - which
this daemon counted as a live Steam.
get_running_processes() now reads /proc/*/stat rather than /proc/*/comm
and skips state Z. Both cost one read per PID, so the poll loop stays
fork-free, but stat also carries the process state. _parse_stat() uses
rpartition(')') because a process name can itself contain spaces and
')', which naive whitespace splitting would corrupt. Names are truncated
to 15 chars in stat exactly as in comm, so the existing patterns match
unchanged.
Verified against the live zombie, before the enforcer was fixed:
zombies on system now : ['steam']
OLD (/proc/*/comm) sees 'steam' : True
NEW (zombie-filtered) sees 'steam' : False
dropped by filter : ['steam']
and non-regression on real processes: a synthetic live 'steam' and a
'steam_app_29687' game both still return True. It skips zombies, not
Steam. Running `focus-mode-daemon` now reports "Browser detected -
entering BROWSING mode" with no GAMING flapping.
The zombie source is fixed separately in steam-backlog-enforcer d54df3a;
this is the durable guard against any future one.
Note: install_focus_mode_daemon.sh copies rather than symlinks, so
/usr/local/bin/focus-mode-daemon was a stale copy without this fix.
Reinstalled. Editing this file alone never changes what runs.
