Code Name: Yukon Cornelius

27-Feb-2026

• Added restart-mode logic in reminderDialog.zsh with new PastDeadlineRestart preference values: Off, Invite, Force (Feature Request #75)
• Added restart-only dialog behavior for past-deadline + excessive-uptime scenarios, including force mode timer-based restart and re-display handling on dismissal
• Updated docs and sample configuration to include PastDeadlineRestart and runtime decision-tree updates
• Added computeInfoboxHighlights() to render Deadline, Day(s) Remaining, and Last Restart as :red[...] in infobox (via new display placeholders) when their respective past-due/threshold conditions are met on markdown-color-capable swiftDialog versions.

Testing Yukon Cornelius (Freshly Booted Macs)

This method validates real (non-demo) Yukon Cornelius behavior immediately on a freshly booted Mac with an overdue DDM update deadline.

You can still use demo modes for safer UI checks:

• zsh reminderDialog.zsh demo invite
• zsh reminderDialog.zsh demo force

⚠️ The method below can immediately restart the Mac when conditions are met. ⚠️

1. Set / Confirm Preference Values

Set local preferences:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/org.churchofjesuschrist.dorm PastDeadlineRestart -string Force
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/org.churchofjesuschrist.dorm DaysOfExcessiveUptimeWarning -int 0

Confirm:

defaults read /Library/Preferences/org.churchofjesuschrist.dorm

Expected:

{
    DaysOfExcessiveUptimeWarning = 0;
    PastDeadlineRestart = Force;
}

2. Validate Script Syntax

zsh -n /path/to/reminderDialog.zsh

3. Execute

Run in elevated Terminal:

zsh /path/to/reminderDialog.zsh

4. Observe Expected Behavior

For an overdue DDM update, expected results include:

• Past-deadline handling is eligible immediately (no uptime wait)
• “Last Restart” in infobox may render red on supported swiftDialog versions
• Force-mode restart flow can trigger immediately

5. Optional Cleanup

If this was only for testing, reset values as needed for your normal policy:

sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/org.churchofjesuschrist.dorm PastDeadlineRestart
sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/org.churchofjesuschrist.dorm DaysOfExcessiveUptimeWarning
