# earned_time

Penalty-then-reward for gate apps: **one** table of what every gate earns in
gaming time and shutdown time, read by both consumers.

| consumer | applies | via |
|---|---|---|
| steam-backlog-enforcer | `Resolution.gaming_minutes` | `_budget_resolve.resolve_budget` |
| screen-locker | `Resolution.shutdown_minutes` | `_shutdown_base.reset_to_base_if_new_day` + live pass |

A gate (leetcode-guard, book-guard, anki-guard, screen-locker's workout
credit, ...) never touches either. It publishes a fact — HMAC-signed `credit`
rows in its ledger — and is registered here once.

## The model

**Gaming** (unchanged): a base of 5 h, minus every earner's `gaming_minutes`
from its `penalty_from` date; each earner done adds its `gaming_minutes` back.
Capped at 8 h.

**Shutdown** has two regimes, switched by date (`LADDER_FROM`, 2026-10-10 —
never a same-day cut):

- **Before `LADDER_FROM`:** base 20:00 minus the penalties in force, plus
  each earner's `shutdown_minutes` (a second workout +60), capped at 23:00.
- **From `LADDER_FROM` — the sleep ladder.** The ceiling is eight hours of
  sleep before the alarm: `WAKE_MINUTES` (07:00) − 8 h = 23:00. The floor is
  that ceiling minus the sum of every registered earner's first-unit rung
  (`LADDER`, a `Rung` per earner name), so doing everything lands exactly on
  the ceiling:

  | done | shutdown |
  |---|---|
  | nothing | 19:00 |
  | workout (110) | 20:50 |
  | + LeetCode (50) | 21:40 |
  | + reading (30) | 22:10 |
  | + Anki (25) | 22:35 |
  | + Automation (25) | 23:00 |

  A second workout earns nothing more (`Rung.extra` defaults to 0).
  Move the alarm (`WAKE_MINUTES = 6 * 60`) and the whole ladder shifts an hour
  earlier on its own. Days before `LADDER_FROM` keep their frozen 23:00
  ceiling, so the change never rewrites history.

The two floors are derived separately (`_resolve._shutdown_floor`), so the
ladder cannot move a gaming minute.

## API

- `resolve(answers, day=None, earners=EARNERS) -> Resolution` — the one sum.
- `base_for(day=None, earners=EARNERS) -> Base` — the day's floors.
- `done_today(earner, ledger, key_file, *, now=None) -> bool | None`
- `first_credit_at(earner, ledger, key_file, day) -> float | None` — unix time
  of the earliest verified credit that counts for `day`. The time is the
  stamp the earner's `match` decides on (`_match.CREDIT_STAMPS`: LeetCode
  `submitted_at`, reading `ended_at`, workout `completed_at`; Anki/Automation
  fall back to `created_at`). It can lie outside `day` when a gate's day is
  not the calendar day (Anki's rollover, a rest day declared the evening
  before).
- `credit_units(earner, ledger, key_file, day) -> int | None` — how many
  verified rows count for `day`: a counted earner's units.
- `shutdown_minutes_for(earner, day) -> int`,
  `extra_shutdown_minutes_for(earner, day) -> int`,
  `shutdown_ceiling_for(day) -> int`, `on_ladder(day) -> bool` — what a status
  view needs to list what is still left to earn. `Earner.shutdown_for(units,
  day=None)` is the day-aware sum (default today). Never read
  `earner.shutdown_minutes` directly: it is the pre-ladder value.
- `day_window(day)`, `today_window(now=None)`, `entry_signature`, `verified`.

## The workout ledger

`WORKOUT` is `kind="counted"` with a ledger at
`~/.local/share/workout_locker/ledger.json`, written by screen-locker: one
signed credit row per credited unit,
`{"kind": "credit", "entry_id", "day", "detail": {"completed_at", "source"}}`.
`workout_match` counts a `runnerup_tcx` row when `completed_at` falls in the
window, and a `rest_day` row on the `day` it names — only if
`detail.declared_at` is before that day's local midnight. A rest day declared
on the day itself is logged and does not count.

## Adding a gate

1. The gate writes `{"entries": [...]}` to its ledger. Each row has
   `kind: "credit"`, a `detail` dict, and an `hmac` signed with
   `/etc/workout-locker/hmac.key` (`earned_time.entry_signature`, the same as
   gatelock's `log_integrity`).
2. Add a matcher to `earned_time/_match.py` and an `Earner` to
   `earned_time/_policy.py` and `EARNERS`:

   ```python
   PIANO = Earner(
       name="piano",                    # also screen-locker's "piano_bonus_date" stamp
       label="piano",
       gaming_minutes=30,
       shutdown_minutes=30,             # pre-ladder value
       penalty_from=date(2026, 11, 1),  # gaming base drops by 30 from then on
       ledger=".local/share/piano_guard/ledger.json",
       match=piano_match,               # which verified credit rows count today
       missing_ledger_is_no=True,
   )
   ```

   Then give it a rung in `LADDER` (`PIANO.name: Rung(20)`), and, if its
   matcher decides on an event stamp, an entry in `_match.CREDIT_STAMPS`.

   On the ladder a new earner's rung comes out of the floor the day its pin
   lands (the ceiling is fixed): re-split the rungs and ship it the day the
   gate can actually be satisfied.
3. Bump the version, tag `earned-time-vX.Y.Z`, and bump the pin in both
   consumers. Neither needs code for a ledger-backed flat earner.

## Rules the consumers rely on

- **Minutes everywhere.** Shutdown is minutes after local midnight.
- **Paths are passed in.** No reader resolves a real path itself; consumers'
  test suites redirect their own constants.
- **`None` is "could not check", never "no".** It earns nothing (fail closed),
  but consumers log it. A missing answer in `resolve()` is logged as well; an
  unknown earner name raises.
- **The HMAC key is root-owned and 0644 on purpose.** The gates run as the
  user and must sign their rows, so the user can read the key; root owns it
  so a user process cannot replace or rotate it. The signature therefore
  stops casual edits and corruption, not a determined forger with a shell --
  the accepted trade-off of user-run gates.
- **Stdlib only.** The gaming daemon imports this as root, headless.

## Install

```console
pip install --user --break-system-packages --no-deps "earned-time @ git+https://github.com/kuhyx/utils@earned-time-v0.4.0#subdirectory=earned_time"
```

The root `steam-backlog-enforcer.service` sets `HOME=/home/kuhy`, so it imports
from the same user site-packages.

## Test

```console
scripts/run_subproject_tests.sh earned_time
```
