Add the shared markdown-naming gate and migrate utils' own docs
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.

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.
