Small if-then automation layer. Rules persist in SQLite; the runner
lives on the frontend and binds to the Phase 6 event bus so the rule
pipeline reuses the same delivery primitives (timer events, TTS,
Tasks navigation).
Storage:
- Migration v12 adds implementation_rules (id, enabled, trigger_kind,
trigger_value, actions_json, last_fired_key, created_at,
updated_at) with enabled+trigger_kind index for the runner's hot
path.
- CRUD helpers: insert / list / get / set-enabled / mark-fired /
delete, plus a round-trip test.
Commands (all main-window-guarded via ensure_main_window):
- list_implementation_rules
- create_implementation_rule — validates HH:MM, checks the target
task exists at save time for surface-task actions, caps
speak-line at 240 chars, pins v1 timers to 5 minutes.
- set_implementation_rule_enabled
- mark_implementation_rule_fired — main-thread idempotency shim so
the runner can atomically claim a fire.
- delete_implementation_rule
Runner (implementationIntentions.svelte.ts):
- Subscribes to kon:task-completed and kon:morning-triage-finished
(MorningTriageModal now emits on all three exit paths — empty,
skipped, picked — so skip counts as finishing).
- 30 s poll for time-of-day rules, plus an immediate check on startup
so a rule whose time has already passed today catches up once.
- Idempotency via last_fired_key composed as YYYY-MM-DD@HH:MM for
time rules; new time rules whose HH:MM has already passed today
are pre-seeded so they don't fire retroactively on save.
- Rules are paused when Nudges "Mute for now" is on — a hard mute
stops all rule delivery in addition to OS notifications.
- Stale-task safety: if a surface-task action's target has been
deleted, the runner opens Tasks and warns clearly rather than
pretending to surface something that's gone.
Editor (ImplementationRulesEditor.svelte):
- Lives in Settings under a new "If-then rules" accordion section.
- `If` picker: time of day (with time input), a task completes,
morning triage finishes.
- `Then` composer: optional surface (inbox / today / all tasks /
specific task), optional 5-min timer, optional speak-aloud line.
- Saved rules list with enable toggle + delete.
Rules table integration for Phase 10b rename sweep: add
implementation_rules to the kon.db → corbie.db migration shim when
that phase lands.
Gates: fmt, clippy -D warnings, cargo test 265/0, svelte-check
0/0, npm build green. Pre-existing Vite chunk warning on sounds.ts
is unrelated to Phase 7.
Three opt-in rituals, all default OFF. Research-anchored (Barkley's
point-of-performance, Sweller cognitive-load theory, Newport shutdown
ritual, Gollwitzer implementation intentions, Thaler/Sunstein nudge
with informed consent for the ADHD audience).
Morning triage: modal gated on ritualsMorning toggle, configurable
trigger time (default 08:00 to respect ADHD sleep inertia rather than
the spec's 06:00), "pick up to three for today" with a gentle swap
message on the fourth attempt. Skip sets last-shown-today so it never
re-prompts the same calendar day. last-shown persists via kon_storage.
Evening wind-down: dedicated page, user-triggered only (tray menu +
Settings button). Mechanical closure + physical reset + intentional
cue — the whole Newport template. Open loops are read-only reflection;
Tasks page owns transactions. Copy is additive throughout: "you
finished X today", never "you didn't finish Y".
Autostart: tauri-plugin-autostart registered (LaunchAgent on macOS,
.desktop on Linux, registry Run on Windows). No bespoke Rust commands
— frontend calls the plugin's invoke-handlers directly. Toggle in
Settings is one-way (click → OS call → state update) to avoid the UI
lying during the round-trip. First-run presents a forced-choice prompt
for all three options, with "skip all" escape hatches per step.
Copy audit against RSD literature: no "overdue", "failed", or
day-to-day comparison framing anywhere in ritual surfaces.
Post-v0.1 ideas captured in the roadmap: calendar integration
(read-only ICS as interim, cloud sync parked) and right-click-to-task
(in-app simple, system-wide a separate phase).
