 - hosts/: manages a highly-opinionated `/etc/hosts` via StevenBlack upstream with custom edits, plus “guard” friction:
   - `hosts/install.sh` builds and locks `/etc/hosts` (immutable/append-only; selective unblocks; custom blocks).
   - `hosts/guard/` installs enforcement: `enforce-hosts.sh`, path-watcher `hosts-guard.path` -> `hosts-guard.service`, optional RO bind mount, pacman hooks, and a delayed editor `psychological/unlock-hosts.sh`.
-- scripts/digital_wellbeing/pacman/: a policy-aware pacman wrapper with friction mechanics.
+- scripts/periodic_background/digital_wellbeing/pacman/: a policy-aware pacman wrapper with friction mechanics.
   - `pacman_wrapper.sh` intercepts transactions, runs hosts-guard pre/post hooks, handles stale db lock, auto-wires maintenance services, and enforces package policy (blocked/whitelisted lists); adds weekend-only “Steam” challenge and a VirtualBox challenge powered by `words.txt`.
   - `install_pacman_wrapper.sh` backs up `/usr/bin/pacman` to `pacman.orig` and symlinks to the wrapper.
-- scripts/system-maintenance/: templates and installer for periodic jobs and monitoring.
+- scripts/periodic_background/system-maintenance/: templates and installer for periodic jobs and monitoring.
   - `setup_periodic_system.sh` installs: `/usr/local/bin/periodic-system-maintenance.sh`, a timer (`periodic-system-maintenance.timer`), a startup oneshot, and `hosts-file-monitor.service` that restores `/etc/hosts` if tampered. Also installs a browser pre-exec wrapper that re-runs the hosts installer before launching common browsers.
 - i3-configuration/: installs i3 and i3blocks configs with small font sizing logic (`i3-configuration/install.sh`).
 
 ## Conventions you should follow
 
 - Bash style: use `set -e` or `set -euo pipefail`, re-exec with sudo if not root, be idempotent, and log to `/var/log/*` with timestamps. Examples: `setup_periodic_system.sh`, `hosts/guard/setup_hosts_guard.sh`.
-- Install via templates: scripts under `scripts/system-maintenance/bin` and `.../systemd` are templates. The setup script substitutes placeholders like `__HOSTS_INSTALL_SCRIPT__` and `__PACMAN_WRAPPER_INSTALL__` before installing to `/usr/local/bin` and `/etc/systemd/system`. Don’t edit installed copies directly; modify templates and the setup script.

 - Package lists: `fresh-install/pacman_packages.txt` and `aur_packages.txt` treat any line not starting with lowercase alnum as a comment.
 
 ## Core workflows (what to run)
 
 - Fresh machine: run from repo root
   - `fresh-install/main.sh` (bootstraps configs, GPU, hosts, i3, pacman wrapper, services). It assumes the repo is at `~/linux-configuration` in some steps.
-- Periodic services: `sudo scripts/setup_periodic_system.sh` (installs timer, startup service, hosts monitor, and browser pre-exec wrapper; then performs an initial run).
-- Pacman wrapper only: `sudo scripts/digital_wellbeing/pacman/install_pacman_wrapper.sh` (backs up pacman and wires the wrapper). The wrapper auto-runs hosts-guard pre/post hooks and can self-setup periodic services when missing.

   - `sudo hosts/install.sh` to (re)build `/etc/hosts` from cache/upstream then lock it.
   - `sudo hosts/guard/setup_hosts_guard.sh` to install guard layers; then `hosts/guard/install_pacman_hooks.sh` to add pacman pre/post unlock hooks.

 - Pacman interception: `pacman_wrapper.sh` sets `PACMAN_BIN=/usr/bin/pacman.orig` and symlinks `/usr/bin/pacman` -> wrapper. Keep this invariant when changing the wrapper.
 - Hosts hooks: Wrapper calls `/usr/local/share/hosts-guard/pacman-pre-unlock-hosts.sh` and `...post-relock-hosts.sh` if installed; keep paths stable or update both installer and wrapper.
-- Logs: check `/var/log/periodic-system-maintenance.log` and `/var/log/hosts-file-monitor.log` for service behavior; timer and services live under `scripts/system-maintenance/systemd/` (templates).

 - Browser pre-exec: setup creates `/usr/local/bin/browser-preexec-wrapper` and symlinks common browser names to it; it silently re-runs the hosts installer before launching the real binary in `/usr/bin`.
 
 ## Patterns to reuse when adding features
 
 - Follow the sudo re-exec + idempotent install pattern from `setup_periodic_system.sh` and `hosts/guard/setup_hosts_guard.sh`.
-- Add new periodic behaviors as templates under `scripts/system-maintenance/bin` and `.../systemd`, then extend `setup_periodic_system.sh` to install/enable them.
-- Extend package policy by updating `scripts/digital_wellbeing/pacman/pacman_blocked_keywords.txt` or by adding `check_for_<pkg>` + `prompt_for_<pkg>_challenge` blocks in the wrapper.
