Krzysztof kuhy Rudnicki cec80c0cb0 feat(steam_backlog_enforcer): harden whitelist against circumvention
- Remove skip_app_ids from user-editable Config; callers updated
- Split PROTECTED_APP_IDS: only Steam infra/Proton IDs remain; game
  IDs moved to a new time-locked exception system
- Add _whitelist.py: 24-hour cooldown on new exceptions, entropy-
  checked justification (>= 5 words), append-only audit log,
  chattr +i immutability on enforcement-critical config files
- Add is_protected_app() in game_install.py; used everywhere
  instead of direct PROTECTED_APP_IDS membership checks
- Add 'add-exception' CLI command (cmd_add_exception in main.py)
- Call promote_pending_exceptions() and lock_enforcement_files()
  in each _enforce_loop_iteration
- 590 tests, 100% branch coverage on all steam_backlog_enforcer modules
- Add .worktrees to .gitignore

  • Store blocking: Blocks store.steampowered.com via /etc/hosts
  • Game uninstalling: Removes all installed games except the assigned one
  • Process enforcement: Kills unauthorized game processes
  • Tampering detection: Detects achievement unlocks on non-assigned games
  • HLTB integration: Estimates completion time with persistent cache
