Krzysztof kuhy Rudnicki b1de6f8d38 Take the geofence out of YouTube's reach, and pin infakt on
Leaving the house was an off switch. The AWAY branch returned early with
packagesToShow = every installed package, so walking 150m from home
restored YouTube -- which is the exact affordance device owner was
provisioned to remove.

always_blocked_packages is exempt from all four branches: AWAY hides
them, the allowlist loop cannot show them, and the workout release skips
them, because otherwise "go for a run" is the off switch instead. Chrome
is included as a second route to the same content; Firefox stays, and
carries the uBlock filters. Play is deliberately left geofenced so apps
can still be installed away from home -- and a hidden package cannot be
reinstalled from Play anyway.

infakt moves from the allowlist to SYSTEM_NEVER_DISABLE. Allowlisting
only held while it stayed in BOTH the day and night lists, and dropping
it from either would silently make it hideable; isAllowed() consults the
never-disable list before the curfew split, so it now holds under every
condition. It is device-paired to a bank over SMS, so losing it strands
the same re-authentication chain a hidden Messages app would.

The exporter now refuses an always-blocked package that is not also
blockable: the runner filters unopted system packages out of
installedPackages, so such an entry would never be hidden and nothing
would say so.

Verified: 128 Python tests at 100% branch coverage, 16 Kotlin tests, the
new ones canary-checked by breaking an assertion and confirming the
suite actually fails. On device, youtube/music/chrome/vending are
hidden=true, infakt hidden=false, uninstall still refused.

The AWAY path itself is unit-tested but NOT verified on hardware: with
no home_location.json every pass decides LOCATION_UNKNOWN, so the branch
is unreachable on this phone until coordinates can be provisioned.

focus_owner

Device Owner companion app for unrooted focus mode. Currently inert: it can be provisioned as device owner, but it applies no restrictions.

Why the escape hatch ships first

dpm remove-active-admin does not work on a device owner. The only exit that avoids a factory reset is DevicePolicyManager.clearDeviceOwnerApp(), callable solely by this package on itself. An app that locks the device down before proving it can let go leaves a soft-brick recoverable only through fastboot — painful on a locked bootloader, and impossible to reach if DISALLOW_FACTORY_RESET is ever set.

So: DevicePolicyBridge.releaseDeviceOwner() is implemented, unit-tested, and reachable from the app's main screen with no PC attached. Enforcement is added only after that path has been exercised on a provisioned device.

Provisioning (NOT done yet — requires a factory reset)

dpm set-device-owner refuses to run while any account exists on the device. The Pixel 6a has 6, so provisioning means a wipe. See ~/.claude/projects/-home-kuhy-testsAndMisc/memory/device-owner-not-root-banking-works.md for what does and does not survive that, and for the Google Wallet open risk.

Once wiped, before adding any account:

adb install -r build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-debug.apk
adb shell dpm set-device-owner com.kuhy.focus_owner/.FocusDeviceAdminReceiver

Then immediately verify tap-to-pay and banking apps, while the release button is still reachable.

Build and verify

cd ~/testsAndMisc/focus_owner
flutter analyze && flutter test
flutter build apk --debug
adb -s 23181JEGR08034 install -r build/app/outputs/flutter-apk/app-debug.apk
adb -s 23181JEGR08034 shell am start -n com.kuhy.focus_owner/.MainActivity

The status screen reads live state over the platform channel; "Android SDK 36" confirms the Kotlin bridge is working.

Still to do

  • Consume the policy JSON from python_pkg/focus_policy (export.py).
  • Add enforcement (setApplicationHidden, addUserRestriction, setAlwaysOnVpnPackage) — only after the release path is verified on-device.
  • Verify setApplicationHidden survives a reboot. pm suspend and pm disable-user both do NOT; do not assume the DPM equivalent behaves the same until measured.
