Summary

Starting a focus period in Syllo now starts a Screen Time focus session, so only the study work stays usable. Breaks, pause, reset, the end of the period and turning the link off end it. The link is off by default and lives in Settings.

sequenceDiagram
    participant Timer as Pomodoro (browser)
    participant Syllo as Syllo server
    participant ST as Screen Time (same computer)
    Timer->>Syllo: POST /api/screen-time/session {goal, durationSeconds, resourceUrls}
    Syllo->>Syllo: read connection.json, validate (loopback only, live pid)
    Syllo->>ST: POST /api/v1/focus/session + X-Tally-Token
    ST-->>Syllo: 201 session / 409 busy
    Syllo-->>Timer: status union (no token)
Loading
focus running          -> start (remaining seconds, goal = "Lesson · Module" or "Study session")
break / pause / reset  -> stop
first sync after load  -> always sent, so a reload can't leave the two disagreeing
link turned off        -> stop if Syllo started a session
  • allowSites is Syllo's own host plus the hosts of the open lesson's resources. mode, apps and sites are left unset so the lists saved in Screen Time apply.
  • Requests are queued one at a time and the newest timer state wins, so fast Start/Pause clicks can't leave Screen Time blocking a paused timer.
  • Screen Time missing, not running, outdated (404), busy (409) or a stale connection file turns into a calm one-line status. The timer never waits on it.
  • Works only when Syllo's server and Screen Time run on the same computer. The Settings copy and docs/syllo-setup.md say so. There's no pairing.

Evidence

  • bun run typecheck, bun run lint, bun run build: pass. bun run test: 137 passed, 38 of them new.
  • Adapter tests use a real local fake Screen Time server: start, stop, 409, missing file, missing app folder, bad JSON, non-loopback URL (no request sent), unreachable port, dead pid, 404, junk body, wrong token.
  • Timer tests: Start sends a POST for 1500 s, Pause sends a DELETE, a stored running timer re-posts its remaining time on load, a stored idle timer sends a stop, and with the link off nothing is sent. A link to evil-youtube-nocookie.com does not unlock youtube.com. Queue regressions cover stop → start → stop and turning the link off while a stop is in flight.
  • Live check against a built server on port 3100: GET /api/screen-time/session returned {"kind":"not-installed"} (this machine has no Screen Time), a bad POST returned 400, and a cross-site request returned 403.
  • No screenshots. No browser testing was requested, and Screen Time's session API (feat/focus-sessions) isn't merged, so there was no end-to-end run against the real app.

Reviewed with sol-loop: 2 rounds with gpt-6.1-sol. Sol verdict: approved.

Merge Danger

Door: two-way

The feature is off until it's switched on in Settings, and turning it off removes all of its behavior.

Blast Radius: small

The Pomodoro provider is mounted app-wide, so a crash there would affect every page. With the link off it sends nothing.

Walkthrough

This change adds an optional Screen Time link for Pomodoro focus sessions. The application validates and sends session requests through a local API route. The Pomodoro interface and settings show link status, and lesson details supply focus goals and resource URLs.

Screen Time contracts and focus sync
apps/web/src/lib/screen-time/contract.ts, apps/web/src/lib/screen-time/client.ts, apps/web/src/lib/__tests__/screen-time-link.test.ts
Defines request and status schemas, manages the local link setting, maps timer state to focus intents, and synchronizes updates with deduplication and queued-intent handling. Tests cover intent mapping, sending, release, and recovery behavior.
Local Screen Time adapter and session route
apps/web/src/lib/server/screen-time.ts, apps/web/src/routes/api/screen-time/session.ts, apps/web/src/routeTree.gen.ts, apps/web/src/lib/__tests__/screen-time-adapter.test.ts
Adds local connection-file validation and Screen Time API calls. The session route handles status, validated start, and stop requests. The generated route tree registers the endpoint. Tests cover connection handling, request results, paths, and allowed-site selection.
Pomodoro, lesson, and settings integration

The lesson page supplies a goal and filtered resource URLs. Pomodoro synchronizes focus intent and displays link status. Personal settings adds the Screen Time link control. Tests cover starting and stopping sessions, and the setup guide documents the link.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 036b0

The optional Screen Time link works for the main flows and is off by default. In rare cases a failed or in-flight request can leave blocking on after unlinking, or leave it off after a failed start, and the timer may not show a stop failure. These are worth fixing soon, but they do not block merge.

Explanation

The title "feat(learn): start a screen time focus session with each focus period" matches the main change. The PR adds an optional link between the Pomodoro focus timer and Screen Time, so each focus period starts a Screen Time session. The title is specific, short, and uses a conventional commit prefix. The title does not mention the off-by-default setting, the same-computer requirement, or the stop behavior, but those details are not needed for the title to convey the primary change.

Show stop failures after pause or reset.

If a stop request fails while Screen Time still has an active session, the provider stores the failure status. However, pause or reset makes runningFocus false, so this condition hides the failure. The timer appears stopped while Screen Time can continue blocking until the session expires.

Show actionable failure statuses after stop requests, including when the timer is paused or idle.

Prevent older checks from replacing the latest status.

If the user selects “Check again” while another check runs, both requests can update status. If the newer request completes first, the older response can replace its result. The page then shows stale reachability or session information until another check.

Add a request-sequence guard before setStatus, or prevent overlapping checks.

Based on learnings: flag async refresh handlers when older work can finish last and overwrite newer state.

Provide a retry path for a failed start.

If a start returns not-running, lastKey still records the start as sent. Opening Screen Time does not reconcile the current focus period. The Settings “Check again” action only fetches status.

The message tells the user to open Screen Time to block distractions, but blocking remains off until another intent change. Add an explicit retry that reconciles the current intent without suppressing it as a duplicate.

Keep a queued stop when release() runs again.

If a start is in flight, the first release() queues a stop. A second release() clears pending and removes that stop. When the start completes, no stop is sent, so Screen Time can keep blocking after the link is off. Pomodoro.tsx calls release() whenever the timer or lesson changes while the link is off, so the second call can occur.

The trigger needs a release during an in-flight start. The impact is therefore limited to that window. Clearing a pending start must still happen, so the fix preserves only a pending stop.
