Krzysztof kuhy Rudnicki e8f50828e6 Phase 5: the power button no longer ends the alarm (item 2)
Two defences, because one press and one held press are different problems.

**Prevention — _inhibit.py.** A logind block-mode inhibitor on
handle-power-key:shutdown:idle, taken while the alarm is audible and released
in on_close(). Confirmed on the host before writing it that
PowerKeyIgnoreInhibited=no is in force, so no logind.conf drop-in is needed --
and none is added: a drop-in changes the machine permanently, an inhibitor is
scoped to the alarm.

Verified live: the inhibitor appears in `systemd-inhibit --list` as
`wake-alarm ... shutdown:idle:handle-power-key ... block` and disappears on
release.

The child runs `sleep 7200`, never `sleep infinity`. An orphaned block-mode
inhibitor would hold the power button down until reboot -- worse than the bug
being fixed -- so it self-terminates, and a stale one is cleared at startup.

That cleanup was wrong on the first attempt and the host run caught it:
`pkill -f "--who=wake-alarm"` matched the *shell that had just typed the
pattern* and killed it, leaving the real inhibitor alive (`killed 0`, one
inhibitor still listed). Substring matching is inherently self-matching. Now
it lists `pgrep -x systemd-inhibit` and confirms each pid via
/proc/<pid>/cmdline. Re-verified: orphan reaped, exactly one live inhibitor,
zero remaining after release.

**Consequence — _alarm_session.py.** The real gap was that nothing on disk
ever said "ringing, not yet dismissed": wake_state.json is written only on
dismissal, so a hard power-off left no trace and the catch-up window closed
while the machine was down. A signed record is now written at fire time, and
_trigger re-fires on one still marked ringing, ignoring the window.

Deliberately no date field. _state.py keys by UTC and
screen_locker/_wake_state.py mirrors that helper to read the very same file
from another repo, so the UTC basis there is load-bearing. The plan's
_today_str() flip is therefore NOT done -- it would have made any dismissal
between 00:00-02:00 local read as yesterday's in screen-locker and silently
lose an earned workout skip. This record carries only an aware fired_at and
compares elapsed time, so the midnight question never arises.

Age-bounded at 5400 s: an alarm that dies before dismissal leaves a record
nothing ever clears, and unbounded this would restart the alarm every minute
forever.

Two bugs the unit tests could not see, both found by running it:

- A future-stamped record returned None, i.e. "not ringing". But a backward
  clock jump is routine on a machine that hibernates nightly (NTP correcting
  after resume), so that failed *open* on exactly the escape it closes: ring
  on a fast clock, clock corrects, power-off works again. Now clamped to zero
  within a 900 s tolerance and logged.
- _alarm.py derived the correlation id from the alarm's *start* instant. On a
  catch-up or re-fire the PC would write wake-...-0735 while the phone wrote
  wake-...-0700 and the two log streams stop joining. Now
  correlation_id_for_today() derives it from the resolved alarm time, which is
  what _correlation.py always specified.

Every trigger test patched should_refire, so _decide against a real record was
untested -- which is why only the manual run found the first one. There is now
an end-to-end test that writes a real session and asserts the decision.

Splits carried: test_trigger.py 294 -> 197 + test_trigger_main.py,
test_alarm_part2.py 266 -> 170 + test_alarm_timers_flash.py. The inhibitor
handle moved into _AlarmHardware, which also settles pylint's attribute count
and puts it beside the other thing on_close() gives back.

No new suppressions: the one inline pylint disable was redundant, since
consider-using-with is already disabled repo-wide in pyproject.toml.

452 tests pass, 100% branch coverage.

wake_alarm

A phone-driven wake alarm for an always-on PC. The alarm time is whatever the companion phone app last synced (via the shared crdt_sync transport over a private GitHub repo); a per-minute systemd user timer fires at exactly that time, showing a fullscreen, challenge-dismissed alarm with fan ramp and optional TP-Link Tapo P110 smart-plug control.

Change the alarm on the phone at any hour and the PC follows within ~5 minutes. If the PC does happen to be powered down, a shutdown wrapper hibernates with rtcwake set to the same synced time, as a fallback.

Install

bash install.sh

This installs the package + dependencies into system Python's user site-packages (the systemd units run /usr/bin/python directly, not a venv — see CLAUDE.md), installs and enables the per-minute trigger timer, the systemd-sleep resume hook, the shutdown wrapper that hibernates with rtcwake as a fallback, the fan-ramp script, and (optionally) python-kasa for smart-plug control.

Reading the phone's alarm needs a GitHub token with repo scope, at ~/.config/wake_alarm/sync.json as {"token": "..."}. If that file is absent, a sibling app's ~/.config/{diet_guard,screen_locker}/sync_token is used instead, so one token covers every app syncing through kuhyx/syncs.

Usage

python -m wake_alarm._alarm --demo     # test the alarm window (safe, closeable)
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

The alarm fires automatically once installed; no manual invocation is needed in normal operation.

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
