feat: clone Opal's rules feature with hard block enforcement

Rebuild the app around recurring screen-time blocking rules modeled on
Opal's My Apps tab:

- Onboarding with FamilyControls Screen Time authorization
- Apps home with Blocked Apps tiles and live rule cards
- New Rule sheet: Schedule/Time Limit/Open Limit types + preset gallery
- Rule editors: time windows (incl. overnight), day picker, app selection
  via FamilyActivityPicker (Block/Allow Only), rename, Hold to Commit
- Hard Mode: active hard rules cannot be edited, disabled, deleted, or
  unblocked until their window ends; soft rules pause until next window
- Shield enforcement through per-rule ManagedSettingsStore + RuleEnforcer
- 73 unit tests (Swift Testing) + 16 UI tests (XCUITest) with launch-arg
  harness for in-memory storage, mocked authorization, seeded scenarios
- docs/RULES_FEATURE_SPEC.md: spec derived from the reference recording

Known gap: background window transitions and time/open-limit thresholds
need a DeviceActivityMonitor extension; shields currently sync while the
app is running.

+# Severed — "Rules" Feature Spec (derived from Opal screen recording)
+
+Source: `ScreenRecording_06-12-2026 11-26-19_1.MP4` (iPhone, 4:29). The rules feature
+appears roughly between 1:00–3:00 of the recording, on Opal's "My Apps" tab.
+This spec describes what was observed, then maps it onto an implementation plan
+for Severed.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Concept
+
+A **Rule** is a recurring, automated app-blocking policy. Unlike a one-off
+block/timer session, a rule re-arms itself on a schedule. Three rule types are
+offered (Opal's "New Rule" sheet):
+
+| Type | Icon | Example shown | Semantics |
+|------|------|---------------|-----------|
+| **Schedule** | calendar grid | "e.g. 9-5, Daily" | Block selected apps during a daily time window on chosen days |
+| **Time Limit** | hourglass | "e.g. 45m/day" | After N minutes of cumulative use of selected apps per day, block them until a reset point |
+| **Open Limit** | padlock | "e.g. 5 opens/day" | After N opens of selected apps per day, block them (not demoed in video; inferred from card) |
+
+Common attributes across all types:
+
+- **Name** — user-editable, free text (presets: "Work Time", "Weekend Zen", "Locked In", "Sleep", "Wind Down", "Deep Sleep", "Laser Focus", "Reading Time", "Gym Time"; defaults for new rules: "In the Zone" (schedule), "Time Keeper" (time limit))
+- **Days of week** — 7-day toggle set, summarized as "Weekdays" / "Weekends" / "Every day" / custom
+- **App selection** — apps, categories, and websites; selection mode is either **Block** (block selected) or **Allow Only** (block everything except selected)
+- **Hard Mode** — boolean, PRO-gated in Opal; subtitle "No unblocks allowed". When off, the rule detail shows "Unblocks allowed: Yes"
+- **Enabled/disabled** — a rule can be disabled without deleting ("Disable Rule")
+
+Derived status (drives card/detail UI):
+- **Active** → countdown to window end: green pill "6h left"
+- **Inactive** → countdown to next activation: "Starts in 22h" / "Starts in 11h"

+
+## 3. Screens in detail
+
+### 3.1 Apps screen ("My Apps" tab)
+
+Dark theme throughout (near-black background, very dark green tint).
+
+1. **Large title** "Apps".
+2. **Blocked Apps** — section header; horizontal row of currently-blocked app
+   icons. Each icon has a lock badge overlay and a teal/green rounded-rect
+   outline; caption "Unblock" under the icon. Tapping unblocks (with friction
+   if hard mode — not demoed).
+3. **Rules** — header row: "Rules ›" (leading, tappable to a full list,
+   presumably) and "**+ New**" (trailing, green tint) which opens the New Rule
+   sheet.
+   - Content: horizontally scrolling row of **rule cards** (~2 visible).
+   - **Rule card** anatomy (rounded ~24pt corners):
+     - Top: icon pair — rule-type icon (calendar) → small arrow → shield icon.
+       Active rule: icons in color, card tinted dark green. Inactive: greyscale.
+     - Middle: status — active: green capsule pill "6h left"; inactive: plain
+       text "Starts in 22h".
+     - Bottom: rule **name** (semibold), then a sub-row "Block" + tiny cluster
+       of the blocked app icons.
+4. **Apps** — section of folder-style groups: "Distracting (4 items)" showing
+   a 2×2 mini icon grid, "Always Allowed", "Never Allowed (Hidden)" with an
+   eye-slash glyph. (Out of scope for the rules clone but shares the app
+   selection model.)
+
+### 3.2 Rule Detail sheet
+
+Presented on tapping a rule card. Partial-height card sheet.
+
+- Top-left: circular ✕ close button.
+- Centered: icon pair (rule type → shield), then caption
+  "`Schedule, Starts in 22h`" (type + live status), then large title
+  ("Weekend Zen").
+- **Detail rows** (single inset rounded card, label left / value right):
+  | Label | Example value |
+  |---|---|
+  | During this time | `09:00 – 12:00` |
+  | On these days | `Weekends` |
+  | Block | `[app icons] 1 App` / `3 Apps` |
+  | Unblocks allowed | `Yes` (hidden/`No` when Hard Mode) |
+- Bottom: full-width white pill button "**✎ Edit Rule**" → morphs the sheet
+  into the Rule Editor in edit mode.
+
+### 3.3 New Rule sheet
+
+Presented from "+ New". Full-height sheet, scrollable.
+
+- Header: ✕ left, centered title "**New Rule**".
+- **Rule type row** — 3 horizontally arranged cards (Schedule / Time Limit /
+  Open Limit), each: glyph, bold name, example caption ("e.g. 9-5, Daily",
+  "e.g. 45m/day", "e.g. 5 opens/day"). Tapping opens the matching editor with
+  defaults.
+- **Preset gallery** — vertically scrolling sections, each with a bold header
+  + grey subtitle, containing a 2-up grid of photo-backed preset cards:
+  - **Get More Done** — "Maximize your productivity while staying sane."
+    - Work Time (Schedule 09:00–17:00, Block, weekdays)
+    - Laser Focus (Schedule 14:00–18:00, Block)
+  - **Sleep, Relax and Reset** — "Sleep better, rise refreshed."
+    - Wind Down (Schedule 20:00–22:00, Block)
+    - Deep Sleep (Schedule 22:00–06:00, Block)
+  - **Build Healthy Habits** — "Spend time on important things."
+    - Reading Time (Schedule ~19:45–20:45, Block)
+    - Gym Time (Schedule 17:30–18:30, Block)
+  - **Preset card** anatomy: full-bleed background photo, top row icon pair
+    (type → shield), time range caption, name, "Block" + suggested app icons,
+    and a circular "+" button bottom-right. Tapping anywhere opens the
+    Schedule editor pre-filled with the preset's name/times/days.
+
+### 3.4 Rule Editor — Schedule type
+
+Sheet with: ‹ back (top-left), centered **rule name** as title, ✎ pencil
+button (top-right) to rename.
+
+Sections (each an inset rounded group with a small icon + caption header):
+
+1. **📅 During this time**
+   - Rows `From` / `To` with right-aligned time + stepper chevrons (`09:00 ⌃⌄`).
+   - A dotted vertical line with ●/○ endpoints visually links From → To.
+   - Tapping a row expands an inline wheel time picker (24h, demoed changing
+     From 22:00 → 23:00).
+2. **On these days:** — trailing summary label ("Weekdays"/"Weekends"/custom);
+   row of 7 circular toggles `S M T W T F S`; selected = filled white circle
+   with black letter, unselected = dark circle.
+3. **🛡 Apps are blocked**
+   - Row: `Selected Apps` → `N Apps ›` — pushes the App Picker.
+4. **Hard Mode** `⚡PRO` badge — subtitle "No unblocks allowed"; trailing
+   toggle.
+5. **CTA**
+   - Creating: full-width gradient pill "**Hold to Commit**" — a press-and-hold
+     interaction (deliberate friction) that fills, then saves and dismisses to
+     the Apps screen where the new card appears.
+   - Editing existing: "**✓ Done**" pill, plus a red text button
+     "**⏸ Disable Rule**" beneath it.
+
+### 3.5 Rule Editor — Time Limit type ("Time Keeper")
+
+Same chrome (back / title / rename). Sections:
+
+1. **⏳ When I use** — row `This App` → `Select ›` (app selection).
+2. **For this long** — subtitle "Daily"; right-aligned value with stepper
+   `45m ⌃⌄`.
+3. **On these days:** — identical day picker as Schedule.
+4. **🛡 Then block app** — row `Until` with stepper value `Tomorrow ⌃⌄`
+   (reset point — e.g. tomorrow/next morning).
+5. **Hard Mode** toggle — same as Schedule.
+6. **Hold to Commit**.
+
+### 3.6 Rule Editor — Open Limit type
+
+Not demoed beyond its card. Spec by analogy: "When I open [apps]" /
+"More than `N opens ⌃⌄` (Daily)" / day picker / "Then block until …" /
+Hard Mode / Hold to Commit.
+
+### 3.7 App Picker (shared component — also used in onboarding & timer)
+
+Full-height sheet:
+
+- Header: ‹ back, centered title "**Selected**", and a circular green **✓**
+  confirm button top-right.
+- **Segmented control**: `Block` | `Allow Only`.
+- Top rows: "**+ Add App or Website**", a "Suggested" horizontal row of app
+  icons (one-tap add), and a "Never Allowed — 0 Apps" row with footnote
+  "Never allowed Apps will also be blocked".
+- Hint text: *Select apps/websites, tap ">" to expand*.
+- **Category list** — each row: circular checkbox (tri-state: empty /
+  partially-selected count / checked), emoji glyph, category name, trailing
+  selected-count + chevron to expand into individual apps:
+  `All Apps & Categories, Social, Games, Entertainment, Creativity, Education,
+  Health & Fitness, Information & Reading, Productivity & Finance,
+  Shopping & Food`.
+- **Search bar** pinned near bottom (with mic). Typing surfaces app matches
+  and website suggestions (e.g. typing "insta" offers `instagram.com`),
+  letting users add arbitrary domains.
+- Footer: "**N Apps Selected**" caption + white pill "**Save**" (+ "Cancel").
+
+> Implementation note: Opal ships its own app categorization. On iOS, third
+> parties cannot enumerate installed apps; the system-sanctioned route is
+> `FamilyActivityPicker` (FamilyControls), which provides its own
+> category/app/website UI and returns opaque tokens. **v1 of Severed should
+> embed `FamilyActivityPicker`** instead of cloning Opal's custom picker, and
+> keep the `Block`/`Allow Only` segmented control as our own wrapper state.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Behavioral spec
+
+1. **Activation** — a Schedule rule becomes active at `From` on an enabled
+   day and deactivates at `To` (windows crossing midnight, e.g. 22:00–06:00,
+   must be supported — Deep Sleep preset does this).
+2. **While active** — the rule's app selection is shielded; blocked apps also
+   surface in the "Blocked Apps" row on the Apps screen; the card turns green
+   with a "Xh left" pill.
+3. **Unblocking** — with Hard Mode off, the user may unblock mid-window
+   ("Unblocks allowed: Yes"). With Hard Mode on, no unblocks until the window
+   ends.
+4. **Time-limit rules** — accumulate usage daily across the selected apps;
+   on crossing the threshold, shield until the `Until` reset point
+   (e.g. tomorrow), then reset the budget.
+5. **Disable vs delete** — "Disable Rule" pauses scheduling but keeps the
+   rule (card presumably shows disabled state). No delete flow was shown;
+   add delete via swipe/long-press or a button in the editor.
+6. **Commit friction** — creating/committing a rule uses press-and-hold
+   ("Hold to Commit"), echoing Opal's philosophy that *starting* a commitment
+   should be deliberate. Editing uses a plain "Done".
+7. **Live countdowns** — "Starts in 22h" / "6h left" update over time
+   (minute granularity is fine).
+
+---
+
+## 5. Implementation plan for Severed
+
+### 5.1 Frameworks & capabilities
+
+- **FamilyControls** — `AuthorizationCenter.shared.requestAuthorization(for: .individual)`;
+  `FamilyActivityPicker` + `FamilyActivitySelection` (app/category/web tokens).
+- **ManagedSettings** — `ManagedSettingsStore` per rule
+  (`ManagedSettingsStore.Name("rule-<uuid>")`); set
+  `store.shield.applications` / `applicationCategories` / `webDomains`.
+- **DeviceActivity** — `DeviceActivityCenter.startMonitoring` with a
+  `DeviceActivitySchedule(intervalStart:intervalEnd:repeats:)` per rule;
+  a **DeviceActivityMonitor app extension** applies/removes shields in
+  `intervalDidStart`/`intervalDidEnd`. Time-limit rules use
+  `DeviceActivityEvent(applications:threshold:)` +
+  `eventDidReachThreshold`.
+- Requires the **Family Controls entitlement** (works in dev; distribution
+  needs Apple approval) and an App Group to share rule data with the monitor
+  extension.
+
+### 5.2 Data model (SwiftData)
+
+Replace the template `AppListProfile` with:
+
+```swift
+enum RuleKind: String, Codable { case schedule, timeLimit, openLimit }
+enum SelectionMode: String, Codable { case block, allowOnly }
+
+@Model final class BlockingRule {
+    var id: UUID
+    var name: String
+    var kind: RuleKind
+    var isEnabled: Bool
+    var hardMode: Bool
+    var selectionMode: SelectionMode
+    var selectionData: Data          // encoded FamilyActivitySelection
+    var days: [Int]                  // 1...7, Calendar weekday numbers
+    // schedule
+    var startMinutes: Int           // minutes from midnight, e.g. 540 = 09:00
+    var endMinutes: Int             // may be < start (crosses midnight)
+    // time limit
+    var dailyLimitMinutes: Int?
+    var resetPoint: String?          // "tomorrow" | "nextMorning" …
+    // open limit
+    var maxOpens: Int?
+    var createdAt: Date
+}
+```
+
+`FamilyActivitySelection` is `Codable` → store as `Data`. Status
+("active", "starts in Xh", "Xh left") is **derived**, not stored.
+
+### 5.3 View inventory
+
+| View | Notes |
+|---|---|
+| `AppsView` (tab) | Sections: Blocked Apps, Rules carousel, (later) app folders |
+| `RuleCardView` | Card per §3.1, active/inactive styling |
+| `RuleDetailSheet` | §3.2, rows + Edit Rule |
+| `NewRuleSheet` | §3.3, type cards + preset gallery (`RulePreset` static data) |
+| `ScheduleRuleEditor` | §3.4 |
+| `TimeLimitRuleEditor` | §3.5 |
+| `DayOfWeekPicker` | 7 circle toggles + summary ("Weekdays"/"Weekends"/…) |
+| `AppSelectionView` | wraps `FamilyActivityPicker`, Block/Allow Only segmented control |
+| `HoldToCommitButton` | long-press progress fill, haptics, fires on completion |
+| `RuleScheduler` (service) | translates `BlockingRule` ⇄ DeviceActivity monitoring |
+| `ShieldController` (service) | applies/clears `ManagedSettingsStore` shields |
+
+### 5.4 Suggested build order
+
+1. Data model + Apps tab with Rules section (cards from seeded sample rules,
+   status derivation, detail sheet) — pure UI, no entitlements needed.
+2. New Rule sheet + Schedule editor + day picker + Hold to Commit (CRUD into
+   SwiftData; Disable/Done editing path).
+3. FamilyControls authorization + `FamilyActivityPicker` integration
+   ("Selected Apps" row, "N Apps" counts, icon clusters via `Label(token:)`).
+4. DeviceActivity monitor extension + ManagedSettings shields (real blocking,
+   incl. midnight-crossing windows).
+5. Time Limit editor + threshold events; Open Limit last (needs shield
+   action extension + open counting).
+6. Preset gallery content + polish (gradients, photos, haptics, live
+   countdown timers).
+
+### 5.5 Out of scope (seen in video, not part of "rules")
+
+- Onboarding flow, paywall ("You know Opal works. Make it permanent."),
+  Home tab gem/score UI, Timer tab (one-off focus sessions, "Leave Early?"
+  friction screen), notification nudges ("Complete Your Setup").
