Krzysztof kuhy Rudnicki a573b1b9d6 Fix two ways the vmbox harness went green while broken
Trimming the harness to the three surviving cases took `pacman -S tk` with it,
and that step was doing two jobs nobody had written down.

It was the guest's BOOT. `vm new`/`vm reset` leave a sandbox stopped and there
is no `vm up`, so the first `vm run` is what starts it; `vm repo` then failed
with "sandbox is not running". The pacman step is restored with that spelled
out, so the next person to prune it knows what else they are removing.

And tk is still genuinely required, despite the Tk alarm window being gone:
`_state` imports `gatelock.log_integrity` for the HMAC, and gatelock's
`__init__` imports tkinter at module scope, so `import gatelock` dies with
"libtk8.6.so: cannot open shared object file". Measured in the guest.

The second fix is the one that matters. `run_install` trusted `vm run`'s exit
code, but `vm run` reports the VM's verdict rather than the guest command's
status -- the same fail-open `guest_cases.sh` already guards against with its
ALL-CASES-PASSED sentinel. So install.sh died on that ImportError, the step
reported success, and the three cases downstream failed with no hint that the
install was the cause. It now confirms an INSTALL-OK marker in the output.

Harness passes: imports-from-system-python, trigger-timer-enabled,
trigger-dry-run. That run exercised the new install.sh end to end, including
its call into uninstall.sh --retired-only.

wake_alarm

The phone is the alarm. phone_app/ arms and rings it, and getting past it means walking between two NFC tags and answering three questions. This repo's Python half no longer wakes anyone: all it does is read the alarm time the phone published and start the morning routine (the workout lock) at that time.

The dismiss sequence

Strict, ordered, and latched — every stage required, and a stage once passed never reverts:

tag 1  ->  25 steps + 2 min  ->  tag 2  ->  3 challenges

The two tags must be distinct and live in different rooms; the same id in both slots is refused at registration. Answers are cumulative, so a wrong one costs the attempt and nothing else.

One fallback, deliberately narrow. After 5 minutes of ringing — or immediately if NFC is off or fewer than two tags are registered — the two tag stages are skipped and the challenge count rises to 6. The walk is never skipped. Without a hatch of some kind, a dead tag at 06:00 leaves an alarm that cannot be switched off at all.

Details, and the things that are a hard crash or a silent no-ring: DOCS-phone-alarm.md.

The PC half

A per-minute systemd user timer (wake-alarm-trigger.timer) reads the alarm the phone published through the shared crdt_sync transport, and at that time starts morning-routine.service, which runs the workout lock. It records a once-per-day latch so the rest of the catch-up window does not restart it.

That is all it does. There is no alarm window, no audio, no smart plug, no rtcwake, and no shutdown wrapper.

Install

bash install.sh      # trigger timer
bash uninstall.sh    # removes it, and any retired waking machinery

install.sh installs the package into system Python's user site-packages (the units run /usr/bin/python directly, not a venv — see CLAUDE.md) and enables the timer. It also clears the retired pieces an older install left behind, notably /usr/local/bin/shutdown, which is root-owned and would otherwise keep turning shutdown now into a hibernate forever.

Reading the phone's alarm uses the shared ~/.config/crdt-sync/firebase.json. The GitHub mirror (fallback only) needs a repo-scoped token at ~/.config/wake_alarm/sync.json as {"token": "..."}.

Usage

python -m wake_alarm._sync --show        # what alarm time the PC resolves
python -m wake_alarm._trigger --dry-run  # what the next tick would do
journalctl --user -fu wake-alarm-trigger.service  # watch it live

Development

python -m venv .venv && .venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
.venv/bin/pre-commit install && .venv/bin/pre-commit install --hook-type pre-push
.venv/bin/python -m pytest wake_alarm/tests/ --cov=wake_alarm --cov-branch --cov-fail-under=100
cd phone_app && flutter test && flutter analyze

The dev venv lacks gatelock, so anything importing _state (including _trigger) needs /usr/bin/python3, not .venv/bin/python.

See CLAUDE.md for the sync resolution chain, the cross-repo coupling to morning_routine, and production deployment gotchas.
