Krzysztof kuhy Rudnicki f5f9db21dc gatelock: split _arbiter.py and _escape.py — package now fully under the cap
_arbiter.py 397 -> 246 + _claims 241
  _escape.py  300 -> 230 + _escape_types 82

_claims holds the claim document and everything that decides whether one is
still owned: taking the advisory lock IS the liveness proof, so reading a
claim and reaping a dead one are the same operation and belong together.
_arbiter keeps the policy — who outranks whom, and whether this app may arm.

An AST pass over every module in the package (names loaded vs. names defined
or imported) caught two things a green suite would not have:
  - _try_lock and fcntl moved with the locking code, so the tests' patch
    targets had to move too;
  - OutputSource was left behind by the earlier _outputs split and only
    resolved because of `from __future__ import annotations` — a latent
    NameError the moment anything evaluated that annotation.

gatelock is now at 0 files over 250 lines: 389 passed, 100% branch coverage,
the same 58 public names, and palette_check still at 0 failing checks.

gatelock

Shared fullscreen lock-window + HMAC log-integrity backend, extracted from three personal automation tools that each independently implemented "lock the screen with a blocking overlay until a condition is met": diet_guard, wake_alarm, and screen-locker.

Why

All three reimplemented the same tkinter fullscreen mechanics (overrideredirect, input grab, VT-switch disable) at different levels of maturity, and the HMAC-signed-state module had already been hand-copied between two of them because they live in separate repos. gatelock is the one place that logic now lives.

Install

pip install "gatelock @ git+https://github.com/kuhyx/utils@gatelock-v0.1.1#subdirectory=gatelock"

Usage

import tkinter as tk
from gatelock import GateRoot, LockConfig, LockWindow

class MyGate:
    def __init__(self, *, demo_mode: bool) -> None:
        self.root = GateRoot()
        self.root.on_callback_error = self._handle_callback_error
        config = LockConfig(mode="soft" if demo_mode else "hard")
        self._lock = LockWindow(self.root, config, hooks=self)
        self._lock.setup()
        # ... build your widgets ...
        self._lock.grab_input()

    def on_focus_ready(self) -> None:
        self.my_entry.focus_force()

    def on_callback_error(self) -> None:
        self.close()

    def on_close(self) -> None:
        ...  # release any hardware/state held while locked

    def close(self) -> None:
        self._lock.close()

    def run(self) -> None:
        self._lock.run()

LockConfig's mode preset bundles the common combination ("soft" = topmost only, typeable, WM-escapable; "hard" = overrideredirect + global grab + VT-disable). Each axis (overrideredirect, grab, disable_vt, grab_retry_ms) can be set explicitly to reproduce a consumer's exact prior behavior where it diverges from the preset.

gatelock.log_integrity ports the HMAC-signed state module used by all three projects; DEFAULT_HMAC_KEY_FILE (/etc/workout-locker/hmac.key) is unchanged so existing signed history keeps verifying.
