hooks: ship three commented examples, install them, document the contract
Add hooks/on_start, hooks/on_done and hooks/on_quit. They are named
after the hooks themselves so copying one into ~/.config/ttym/hooks/ is
the entire installation step, and each carries its argument contract in
a header comment.
on_start sets the terminal window title to what is running
on_done desktop notification plus a sound, both backgrounded, with
the first available of paplay/aplay/mpv/ffplay
on_quit records abandoned sessions to a TSV under XDG_STATE_HOME and
restores the terminal title
make install places them in PREFIX/share/doc/ttym/hooks; make uninstall
removes them and both directories; make dist ships hooks/ with the
executable bits intact.
The man page's HOOKS section now documents what the code actually does
rather than what could be assumed from the call sites:
- $2 differs per hook: requested duration on on_start, full duration
on on_done, and time actually elapsed -- excluding time spent paused
-- on on_quit. An abandoned 25m countdown reports what really ran.
- $3 is always passed, so it is never unset.
- hooks block: timer forks and waitpid()s, so on_done delays the
completion bell and the alert loop. Background anything slow.
- stdin, stdout and stderr all go to /dev/null, which is why printing
is pointless and cannot corrupt the redrawn progress line.
- execvp(3) means a script needs a #! line.
README gains a Hooks section. All three examples pass sh -n and
shellcheck, and were tested end to end through the documented flow:
make install to a staging prefix, copy into a config dir, run.
