The gate is three files per repo -- a delegate, a pre-commit hook entry and a
CI workflow -- and Phase 3 needs them in sixteen more repos. Hand-replication
is precisely how the 250-line cap ended up shipping under four different hook
ids, two of which were independent reimplementations rather than delegates, so
the copy is now a script and the templates have exactly one home.
scripts/install_dependency_freshness_gate.sh <repo> [--check] [--fvm]
Idempotent, and it rewrites a copy that has drifted from the template rather
than leaving it. `--check` reports without writing. `--fvm` pins the Flutter
SDK, and only in a repo that actually holds a pubspec.yaml -- an .fvmrc in a
Python repo declares a toolchain nothing there builds with. An unresolvable
SDK version leaves the pin alone and exits 1: guessing would pin every repo to
a number nobody chose.
The pre-commit block is APPENDED rather than parsed and re-emitted. Every one
of these configs carries comments explaining why its hooks exist, and a YAML
round-trip through the standard library drops all of them.
306 tests, 100% branch coverage on every production module.

"Are we on the newest version?" was not mechanically answerable across these
repos: constraint styles had drifted per-ecosystem and a caret range is
"newest-compatible" by definition, which gives a checker nothing to compare.
This gate makes it answerable and then enforces the answer.
Checks two things at once -- that every dependency carries an exact pin, and
that the pin equals its registry's latest STABLE release -- across pub.dev,
PyPI, npm, crates.io, the Go proxy, kuhyx/utils git tags, and the Flutter /
Node / Python toolchains.
Three deliberate design points:
* Pre-releases are rejected per-ecosystem, because every ecosystem leaks them
differently and each leak fails GREEN. npm lets a maintainer point
`dist-tags.latest` at an rc; crates.io's `max_version` includes them; PyPI's
legacy `info.version` includes yanked releases. Unit-tested with fixtures,
since an end-to-end run cannot surface a wrong "up to date".
* Offline, the gate serves an expired cache entry and PASSES with a DEGRADED
banner (exit 3 only under --strict, which is CI). `--no-verify` is banned
here, so a hook that hard-failed offline would leave no way to commit at all.
* The allowlist has two entry classes. `blocked_by: transitive:<pkg>@<ver>` is
a predicate that clears itself when upstream moves and must NOT carry a
date; everything else is discretionary and requires `expires`, capped at 90
days. Exact pins plus latest-everywhere is provably unsatisfiable when a
dependency internally constrains a shared transitive, and expiring the
predicate class on a calendar would turn the gate red for a reason no commit
could fix. An entry with nothing left to excuse is itself an error.
One hook id, one shim, one shared implementation -- always delegating, so it
cannot fork the way the 250-line cap forked into four ids, two of which were
independent reimplementations.
256 tests, 100% branch coverage on every module of the gate. Also adds the
workflow that runs them, which incidentally gives md_naming's 71 tests their
first CI run.
Not yet installed in any repo: a repo that gets the gate before its deps are
bumped is instantly and permanently red, so the gate and the upgrade land
together, per repo.

Markdown across every repo had accumulated a dozen ad-hoc names
(refactor_claude_todo.md x23, DESIGN_AUDIT_TODO.md, NEXT_SESSION,
HANDOFF, PLAN, SPEC) with nothing distinguishing a live task from a
finished record. An audit found docs asserting work was pending that
shipped months earlier, and one asserting completion while the work
was open.
Four namespaces now: README.md, CLAUDE*.md, DOCS*.md, TODO*.md. Task
files carry the literal "REMOVE ME AFTER FINISH" and are deleted when
the work lands.
Enforced bidirectionally -- a TODO without the marker fails, AND any
file carrying the marker that is not named TODO*.md fails. Without the
reverse rule a task can be renamed into the permanent namespace and
quietly live forever, which is the failure being fixed.
md_naming/ mirrors the file_length topology and imports its tables
(EXCLUDED_DIRS, THIRD_PARTY_REPOS, VENDORED_ANYWHERE, GENERATED_PATTERN)
rather than restating them, so the two gates cannot disagree about the
same file. 71 tests, 100% branch coverage.
stale.py warns on TODOs past 90 days but never fails: no machine can
prove a task is finished, so the honest mechanism is a nudge.

Files that cannot be read in one piece force re-reads and partial edits,
which is the largest avoidable cost in an LLM-assisted workflow. This adds
the enforcement side of a 250-line cap covering code AND prose.
- file_length/config.py: single source of truth for the cap and its
exemptions (generated, markup, vendored, data-ish txt), shared by both the
gate and the survey so the two cannot silently disagree.
- file_length/check.py: the check itself. Exits 1 and lists violations;
adjudication is an exit code, not a judgement call.
- scripts/check_file_length.sh: thin wrapper pre-commit calls with staged
files.
Verified against six fixtures: over-cap code fails, under-cap passes,
generated l10n (1417 lines) exempt, vendored pdfjs exempt, the 174800-line
wordlist exempt as data, and a 1101-line CLAUDE.md correctly fails since
prose is capped too.
Baseline at time of writing: 657 files over 250 lines across 29 repos.
Each repo carries a refactor_claude_todo.md prompt with its own list.

Extracts the near-identical "Sync settings" UI duplicated across 5 apps
(todo, diet_guard_app, workout_app, wake_alarm/phone_app, home_inventory)
into a single tested package. Firebase sync (primary) + optional local
backup slot; GitHub mirror UI was dropped per kuhy's explicit decision
mid-build in favor of Firebase-only, so existing apps keep their local
GitHub code untouched, just disconnected from this shared screen.
100% line coverage, flutter analyze clean under very_good_analysis.
Generalized check_no_crdt_sync_override.sh to guard any utils git
dependency (crdt_sync, sync_settings_ui), not just crdt_sync by name.

Two changes to the shared sync credential path, both driven by devices
that reported "Connected" while every sync failed.
Google sign-in (signInWithGoogle, both languages) replaces typing the
sync account's password on a fresh install. The account is linked once
from the PC with tool/link_google.py, which asserts the pinned uid --
without that assertion an unlinked identity is *signed up* rather than
refused, and the new uid is then denied every read and write by the
security rules.
The second change is the one with teeth. hasSession() is a presence
check, so a refresh token the server had revoked still read as a live
session: the desktop todo build showed "Connected" and then failed every
sync with `HTTP 400 (TOKEN_EXPIRED)`. A refresh that fails for a terminal
reason now clears the stored session, so hasSession() answers honestly.
Deliberately narrow: only TOKEN_EXPIRED, USER_DISABLED, USER_NOT_FOUND,
INVALID_REFRESH_TOKEN, INVALID_GRANT_TYPE and MISSING_REFRESH_TOKEN
clear it. A network error or a 5xx must not -- a device that signs
itself out whenever the wifi drops needs a manual sign-in on every
device to recover, which is worse than the stale banner this fixes.
Verified against the live endpoint, not just mocks: has_session flips
True -> False on a real rejection.
crdt_sync_dart 0.9.0 -> 0.10.0; the five apps pin the matching tag.

`_holds_grab` asked `grab_current() is self._root`, but our own transient
children take the grab for themselves: a posted Tk menu grabs the menu
window, so the test read "the grab was lost" and `grab_set_global()` took it
back a second later, off our own widget mid-interaction. That is what made
screen-locker's sport selector unusable while locked on 2026-07-26. The
predicate is now `grab_current() is not None` -- any window we own means the
lock still has pointer and keyboard -- and it is public, `holds_grab`, so an
embedder can ask the same question instead of re-deriving it. Anything that
does not resolve against our widget map (a Tcl-created `ttk.Combobox`
popdown, a stale name) raises `KeyError` and counts as lost: fail closed,
because losing a popdown beats believing we hold a grab we do not. The
blind spot for a second `tk.Tk()` reporting its root as "." is unchanged from
the old test, and now written down.
`_verify` and `_drain` scheduled the next tick *after* running it, so any
exception ended all re-assertion of coverage, grab and VT for the rest of the
lock -- the exact fail-open this module exists to prevent, in a file whose
docstring is a monotonicity proof. The reschedule moves into `finally`, and
the warnings only fire when the reason changes: these states can last the
whole lock, and a 1Hz journal stream is not the alternative to silence.
The pre-commit side: both subproject configs were written as if cwd were the
subproject, but pre-commit runs hooks from the git root -- which is ~/utils,
not gatelock. Every pushed run since at least 2026-07-11 has been red, and
for compounding reasons: pylint and bandit could not find their config,
bandit's tests exclusion never matched, the pytest hook ran with no config at
all, and with no `files:` filter each config linted the *whole* monorepo, so
gatelock's mypy was type-checking crdt-sync. All paths are now root-relative,
each config is scoped to its own subproject, and the pytest hook goes through
a shared `scripts/run_subproject_tests.sh` that supplies the missing `cd` and
fails loudly if the subproject is gone.
Scoping via `files:` has one sharp edge -- rename the directory and the regex
matches nothing, so every hook passes on zero files, green and useless. An
`always_run` scope-guard hook turns that silent pass into a failure.
bandit 1.7.10 threw inside its AST visitor on Python 3.14 and *skipped* every
file while still reporting zero issues; 1.9.4 actually scans. Codespell was
also flagging a real typo the noise had buried.
Housekeeping the above turned up: `gatelock/.github/` and `crdt-sync/.github/`
were dead -- GitHub only reads the root `.github/workflows`, which already has
all four jobs -- and the two subproject `.gitignore`s were byte-identical to
each other and subsumed by the new root one.
