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.

6	session ended in Screen Time -> label drops within 20 s, timer keeps running, no restart
7	start refused (not running) -> retried once Screen Time answers

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.
Matches Screen Time's limits: the goal is at most 200 characters (long goals are cut on a word boundary) and the duration is 60 s to 12 h.
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Screen Time missing, not running, outdated (404), busy (409), a 409 on stop (another source's session) or a stale connection file turns into a calm one-line status.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: 157 passed, including three new Screen Time test files.
Adapter tests use a real local fake Screen Time server: start, stop, 409 on start and on stop, missing file, missing app folder, bad JSON, non-loopback URL (no request sent), unreachable port, dead pid, 404, junk body, wrong token, a 250-character goal, a blank goal and a 50000 s duration.
Timer tests:
- Start sends a POST for 1500 s and Pause sends a DELETE.
- On load, a stored running timer re-posts its remaining time and a stored idle timer sends a stop.
- With the link off nothing is sent, including no status checks.
- A session ended in Screen Time drops the label without a new POST, and a visible tab triggers a status check.
- With under 60 s left no start 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: 3 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. A local API route validates requests and communicates with Screen Time. Pomodoro and settings display link status, and lesson details provide focus goals and resource URLs.

Changes: Screen Time focus link

Layer / File(s)	Summary
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, request dispatch, 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 `apps/web/src/components/learning/Pomodoro.tsx`, `apps/web/src/components/learning/ScreenTimeSettings.tsx`, `apps/web/src/views/studio/learn.tsx`, `apps/web/src/views/studio/personal-settings.tsx`, `apps/web/src/lib/__tests__/screen-time-pomodoro.test.tsx`, `docs/syllo-setup.md`	The lesson page supplies a goal and filtered resource URLs. Pomodoro synchronizes focus intent, checks status, and displays link status. Personal settings adds the Screen Time link control. Tests cover timer and status behavior, and the setup guide documents the link.

This adds an optional, off-by-default Screen Time link that starts and stops a focus session with the Pomodoro timer. A few minor edge cases remain: a failed stop after pause may not be shown, a failed start has no retry path, a repeated unlink during an in-flight start may leave blocking on, and overlapping status checks in Settings can show stale information. None of these affect the timer itself, so it is mergeable with these tracked as follow-ups.

Explanation

The title "feat(learn): start a screen time focus session with each focus period" matches the main change. The PR adds an optional Screen Time link that starts a Screen Time session with each Pomodoro focus period, and it stops the session on breaks, pauses, resets, and disabling the link. The title is specific and does not describe unrelated work. The changeset also includes supporting pieces (server route, client, allowlist logic, settings UI, and docs) that the title does not name, which is expected for a title.

🔴 One tab stops another tab's focus session

When another tab runs a focus period, focusIntent sends a stop for this tab's idle timer. The source-scoped DELETE ends the other tab's Screen Time session while its timer keeps running.

Learn more

Pomodoro timer state is saved in localStorage but existing tabs do not subscribe to changes from other tabs. A tab with an idle timer sends a stop on initial synchronization or after Reset. stopFocusSession deletes every Screen Time session with Syllo's source, without identifying which tab started it. The active tab's timer continues and receives no status update.

Example: Open tabs A and B while both timers are idle. Start focus in A, then click Reset in B. B sends DELETE; A still shows its running timer, but distractions are no longer blocked.

Recommended fix: Coordinate timer ownership across tabs or keep one shared timer state with cross-tab updates. Only the owner may stop its session; handle ownership handoff and tab reload explicitly.

🤖 Claude Opus 5.5 responding on behalf of screen-gd

Not changing this. The example doesn't send a DELETE. Tab B's first sync sends a stop and records it as the last intent, so Reset in B produces the same stop intent and createFocusSync.update skips it (key === lastKey, client.ts). A new tab opened while A is focusing reads the stored running timer and re-posts the same session instead of stopping it.

B can only stop A's session if B has run its own focus period, and then the two tabs already show different timers. That comes from the Pomodoro not syncing across tabs, which predates this PR. Cross-tab timer ownership is a follow-up.

🟡 Allow-mode sessions falsely claim blocking

When Screen Time reports an allow-mode session, blocking still displays “Screen Time is blocking distractions.” The session's mode can be allow, so the timer reports a blocking state that is not active.

Learn more

Screen Time's focusSessionSchema supports both allow and block. This badge only checks that the session belongs to Syllo. The UI therefore asserts that distractions are blocked even when Screen Time returns its allow mode.

Example: Screen Time returns { kind: 'ready', session: { source: 'syllo', mode: 'allow', ... } } after Start. The timer displays “Focus · Screen Time” with a blocking tooltip, despite the reported allow mode.

Recommended fix: Gate the blocking claim on linkStatus.session.mode === 'block', or present mode-neutral text for allow-mode sessions.

Not changing this. In Screen Time, allow mode is an allowlist: everything outside the allowed apps and sites is covered. Both modes block distractions, so the label is accurate for either one.

🟡 Timer ticks repeatedly read browser storage

Each Pomodoro tick rerenders useScreenTimeLink, which calls readLinked and synchronously reads localStorage. The repository requires caching repeated storage reads.

Learn more

The app-wide PomodoroProvider updates its session every second while running. useSyncExternalStore reads its snapshot on those renders. The snapshot here performs a synchronous localStorage read each time, even though the preference has not changed.

Example: A 25-minute focus period causes approximately 1,500 timer renders and at least that many reads of the same link preference.

Recommended fix: Cache the boolean in memory, update it in setLinked, and invalidate or refresh the cache in the storage event listener for other-tab changes. Keep getSnapshot stable between changes.

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.

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.

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.

Fixed in 52c77fd. When a start comes back not-running or unavailable, the provider checks the status every 20 s and on tab focus. Once Screen Time answers, it re-sends the current start (createFocusSync.retry). A session the user ended in Screen Time still isn't restarted, and outdated/busy results don't poll.

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.

Fixed in 52c77fd with your suggested shape: release() works out owesStop from lastSentStart or a pending stop before clearing state. A test covers a start in flight → release() twice → the stop still goes out.

Checks on 52c77fd: bun run typecheck, bun run lint, bun run build pass; bun run test 157 passed.

Pushed two fixes to 0603231.

2d9c902 A session ended from Screen Time is now noticed (Pomodoro.tsx, client.ts). While Syllo believes its session is on, it checks the status every 20 s and when the tab becomes visible. If the session is gone or belongs to another source, the "Focus · Screen Time" label drops and the timer keeps running. createFocusSync.markEnded stops that focus period from being sent again, even after a lesson change. The next focus period starts as usual. No checks run while the link is off or after a start was refused. A failed check only updates the status line.
0603231 Screen Time's limits (contract.ts, client.ts, server/screen-time.ts). focusGoal trims the goal, falls back to "Study session" and cuts goals over 200 characters on a word boundary with "…". With under 60 s of focus left, Syllo skips the start without a request, and durations above 12 h are clamped to 43200 s. Both the client and the adapter enforce this, and the route rejects values outside the range. A DELETE answered with 409 now means "another source's session" and returns a calm ready status.

Checks on 0603231: bun run typecheck, bun run lint, bun run build pass, and bun run test passes 151 tests. A GPT-6.1 Sol review of the changes since 2d108a6 approved them.

🔴 Old blocks survive short focus resets

If update queues a short focus while an earlier start is in flight, dispatch drops it after coalescing away the stop. The earlier block remains active and can outlive the reset timer if the tab closes.

Learn more

A focus intent represents the timer's desired Screen Time state. While a start request is in flight, update keeps only the newest pending intent and can discard an intervening stop update. When that pending start has under a minute remaining, returning here sends nothing, although the earlier focus session is still blocking. Ending the short focus later can stop it, but closing the tab first leaves the old block until its original expiry.

Example: Start a 25-minute focus, reset, then start a one-minute focus while the first POST is in flight. If that POST finishes two seconds later, the queued start has 58 seconds left and is dropped; the 25-minute block remains active.

Recommended fix: When a short start replaces a previously dispatched start, issue a stop rather than returning. Preserve the under-minute no-request behavior when no earlier session can remain active; add a queue test covering start, stop, short start while the first request is held.

Fixed in 79f7b33. With under a minute left, dispatch now sends a stop when the last start went out for a different focus period (lastSentStart && lastStartEndAt !== intent.endAt). A late lesson change in the same period still skips quietly, so the running session isn't cut short. Tests cover start A in flight → stop → 58 s start B (sends [startA, stop]) and the same-period case (nothing sent).

Pushed 79f7b33 and 52c77fd (head 52c77fd). Each finding has a reply in its thread.

79f7b33: a short focus period that replaces an earlier session now stops that session instead of skipping quietly (Devin Review).
52c77fd, from CodeRabbit's review of the first head:
- release() keeps a queued stop when it runs twice.
- A start refused with not-running/unavailable is retried once Screen Time answers. A session ended in Screen Time still isn't restarted.
- A failed stop shows its hint after pause.
- "Check again" in Settings can't be overwritten by an older reply.

Checks on 52c77fd: bun run typecheck, bun run lint, bun run build pass, and bun run test passes 157 tests.
