Make the geofence tell the truth, and the phone explain itself
The enforcer failed in both directions: nothing blocked at home, and
everything blocked at the office. The comparison was never inverted --
`metres <= threshold` was always right. Three separate causes:

Only ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION was declared. Android 12+ fuzzes coarse to a
~1-2 km grid against a 150 m fence, so a fix taken at home routinely landed
outside it, read as AWAY, and restored every app the geofence exists to hide.
FINE is now declared and self-granted by the device owner, along with coarse
and background, re-asserted every pass so a reinstall cannot silently drop it.

There were three states but two behaviours. LOCATION_UNKNOWN applies the
identical sweep to AT_HOME -- correct fail-closed design, indistinguishable
from outside. And nothing ever requested a fix: the pass read whatever another
app happened to cache, so at the office with no navigation running the cache
was empty. Passes now acquire a fix inside a location-typed foreground
service, bounded at 20 s, and treat anything older than 30 min as no fix. That
window is deliberately longer than the 15-minute cadence; a shorter one marks
the newest cache stale on every pass of an idle phone and blocks everything.

None of it was diagnosable. `adb logcat -d -s FocusOwner:V` came back empty
while dumpsys showed 82 alarms had fired, and `run-as` is refused on the
release build device owner requires. So the pass now writes a ring-buffered
JSONL record read back in-app: reason, distance vs the fence, fix
age/provider/accuracy, curfew state, and every hidden app with the rule that
hid it. Coordinates are never recorded -- a distance is enough to debug a
geofence, and this is a home address.

Also fixed along the way:

- Hysteresis keyed off `isEnforcing`, which is true under AWAY too because
  YouTube stays hidden, so the threshold was permanently radius+hysteresis.
  It now keys off whether the previous pass was inside the fence.
- The scheduler's curfew-boundary alarms were documented but never scheduled;
  both callers invoked `scheduleNext()` bare, so 05:00 could land 15 min late.
- Installing over the app cancelled its pending alarms, so `adb install -r`
  silently stopped enforcement until someone opened the app. MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED
  now re-arms it, verified on device without launching the app.
- A wrong-typed log record threw instead of being skipped, and the exception
  escaped far enough to leave the page stuck busy -- which disables the
  release-device-owner button, the one control that must work when everything
  else has gone wrong.
- `lib/enforcement.dart` was a second decision layer with no always-blocked
  concept, cited by KDoc as pinned by a `PolicyParityTest` that never existed.
  It would have made the new screen report YouTube visible while it is hidden.
  Deleted; the UI renders the Kotlin record rather than re-deciding.
- Anchoring home accepted a stale or unknown-precision fix. A wrong home
  offsets the fence everywhere and forever, which is what produced a 766 m
  reading while standing at home.

Policy: Play Store is allowed by day (not during curfew) so infakt can be
installed and updated; the sweep is default-deny for third-party packages, so
anything installed from Play is hidden on the next at-home pass. Tachiyomi's
per-source extension apks are covered by a new prefix allowlist rather than an
exact list that goes stale whenever an extension is installed.

`export.py` stopped subtracting the allowlist from `blockable_system_packages`.
Sweepable is not hideable: that list decides which system packages are
eligible for a decision, and `isAllowed` is what protects them. Removing an
allowed system package from the sweep freezes it in its last state -- it would
have stranded Play hidden permanently the moment it was allowlisted.

Verified on the Pixel 6a: FINE granted POLICY_FIXED, `applied AT_HOME` with a
0 m distance from a +/-11 m GPS fix, YouTube/Chrome/Firefox absent from
`pm list packages -e`, Play Store, infakt, RunnerUp and all five Tachiyomi
packages present.

testsAndMisc

A collection of personal projects, scripts, and experiments — from a GPS-based phone focus tool to Linux/Arch automation, with CI, linting, and pre-commit hooks across the board.

Highlights

Phone Focus Mode

Location-based app restriction for rooted Android. Automatically disables non-whitelisted apps within 500 m of home using ADB + Magisk. Features Haversine distance calculation, hysteresis to prevent toggling, fail-safe unlock, and state persistence. Bash, Android ADB.

Linux Configuration

Automated Arch Linux setup: fresh-install scripts, i3 window manager config, LaTeX environment, and system tests. Includes documentation and test result logging.

Scripts

Utility scripts for development workflows — build file validation, secret detection, and custom makepkg helpers.
