Krzysztof Rudnicki 02e2e13790 crdt_sync: add a Firebase Realtime Database transport behind a RemoteStore seam
Extracts the three-method remote surface GitHub was reached through into a
`RemoteStore` interface, then implements it against Firebase Realtime
Database over REST, so apps can move backend with a constructor change.

Why REST and not the SDKs: official FlutterFire has no Linux desktop
support, and `wake_alarm`'s PC side is a dependency-free systemd job. The
RTDB REST endpoints are plain HTTPS and behave identically on Linux,
Android and headless. Firebase is a transport, never the datastore -- each
app keeps its local log as the source of truth, so offline-first survives.

Why RTDB and not Firestore: on the Spark plan RTDB bills only storage and
bandwidth with no per-operation quota, so a runaway loop cannot exhaust a
daily budget and silently stop syncing mid-day.

Two savings make the no-cost tier a guarantee rather than a hope. Measured
against the GitHub-backed history this replaces: 4894 of 5542 commits
(88.3%) were byte-identical no-ops, and every tick re-downloaded every
peer's whole log. Both are now driven by one sha256 revision -- an
unchanged log is not re-pushed, and an unchanged peer is not re-fetched.
That turns egress from "ticks x log size" (~700 MB/month, and growing with
the log) into "edits" (~40 MB/month against a 10 GiB cap).

Revisions are one node per device, written only by its owner, rather than
one shared map -- a whole-map write would erase every peer's entry, after
which those peers would look permanently unchanged and never be fetched
again. Per-device keys make that impossible rather than merely avoided.

`.` is illegal in an RTDB key and the REST `.json` is a format suffix, so
paths get a reversible `~XX` escape (`log.json` -> `log~2Ejson`). Lossy
extension-stripping would break `todo`, whose listings return filenames.

`MirrorStore` / `MirrorSyncClient` dual-writes during the cutover. Reads
consult *both* backends: with primary-only reads a migrated device would
never see an un-migrated peer's writes while still mirroring its own back
-- silent one-directional convergence with no error raised. Writes are
asymmetric on purpose: a primary failure fails the tick, a mirror failure
is logged and survived.

Auth is Firebase email/password over identitytoolkit REST, with mandatory
refresh-token rotation. No service-account key anywhere: it would bypass
the security rules and is trivially extractable from an APK.

Verified live against a real database, not only mocks: sign-in and refresh,
key escaping round-tripping byte-for-byte, an unchanged tick writing
nothing, two devices converging, a revoked session throwing rather than
returning null, and a log written by the Python client being read by the
Dart one.

No app is migrated by this commit; every app still runs on GitHub.

Dart: 194 tests. Python: 203 tests at 100% branch coverage. No lint
suppressions added.

utils

Shared libraries used across kuhyx's other projects. Each subdirectory is a formerly-standalone repo, folded in here with full commit history preserved (see each subdirectory's own git log for its pre-merge history).

crdt_sync_dart/

Dart/Flutter CRDT sync library (pub package name: crdt_sync, not published to pub.dev — consumed via a git dependency). Mirrors crdt-sync (below) module-for-module and test-for-test. Consumed by diet_guard's app, screen-locker's workout_app, wake_alarm's phone_app, and todo (whose notes are stored in the v0.2.0 LogStore).

Consume via:

dependencies:
  crdt_sync:
    git:
      url: https://github.com/kuhyx/utils
      ref: crdt_sync_dart-v0.2.0
      path: crdt_sync_dart

crdt-sync/

Python CRDT sync library (package: crdt_sync, not published to PyPI). Same design as crdt_sync_dart (HLC clocks, per-field LWW, sticky-delete tombstones). Consumed by diet-guard and screen-locker.

Consume via:

crdt-sync @ git+https://github.com/kuhyx/utils@crdt-sync-v0.2.0#subdirectory=crdt-sync

guard-lib/

Bash tamper-resistance primitives (guardctl: chattr + bind-mount + systemd watcher + pacman hooks). Not a package — installed by running guard-lib/install.sh as root, which copies files onto the system (/usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib/guard-lib, systemd units, pacman hooks). Consumed by steam-backlog-enforcer (expects a guard-lib/install.sh sibling clone) and referenced by screen-locker.

gatelock/

Python lock-window + HMAC log-integrity backend (package: gatelock, not published to PyPI). Consumed via pip by screen-locker, diet-guard, and wake-alarm:

gatelock @ git+https://github.com/kuhyx/utils@gatelock-v0.1.0#subdirectory=gatelock

unified-design-system/

Not a package — the frozen design tokens (colors, spacing, type, radius, shadow policy) and per-stack (Flutter/web/Tkinter) implementation patterns that keep every one of kuhy's repos visually identical, plus annotated component references (components.html, button.html). Read unified-design-system/README.md and tokens.md before touching any theme/CSS/style file in any repo. The unified-design-system Claude Code skill is a thin pointer here, not a duplicate.
