**PROMPT FOR LLM (copy+paste below, then append your plan)**

You are converting a **generic plan of action** into a **production-ready research/engineering `todo.md`** that is directly executable by a capable coding agent. Your output must be a single Markdown document with a fenced **XML `<workflows>`** block. Do **not** include any extra commentary, explanations, or chat—**output only the document**.

### Transformation requirements

* Be **specific** and **operational**. Replace vague goals with concrete steps, commands, checklists, acceptance gates, and explicit assumptions.
* Prefer **compact, high-signal prose**. No filler. Use short paragraphs and terse bullets.
* If information is missing, make **minimal, clearly labeled assumptions** (e.g., “Assumption: …”). Do **not** ask questions.
* Compile the spec into **executable oracles**: pre/postconditions, invariants, consumer/provider API contracts, and **metamorphic properties**. Generate both tests and **runtime guards**.

My Custom CSS for Miniflux

This are just a couple of handy, opinionated visual fixes that I personally use in my self-hosted instance of Miniflux.

You're more than welcome to grab a copy and use with your own instance, or modify to suit your needs.

tl;dr; Run sudo launchctl stop com.apple.cmio.VDCAssistant to unfreeze your apps while using a Studio Display on macOS Catalina.

---

If you try to use Apple's new Studio Display on macOS Catalina 10.15.7 you end up with horrible app freezing problems. Apps like Chrome, Discord, WhatsApp, Zoom, Messenger, etc, are all freezing once a Studio Display is plugged in.

As someone pointed out on this thread, the "VDCAssistant" process seems to the source of the problems. This process is just related to managing video cameras for Apple services. And apparently disabling it fixes the app freezing issue!

So to fix the issue, just temporarily disable VDCAssistant by running this command in a Terminal:

larsenv

import json
import requests
import subprocess
import re

home = requests.get("https://content.services.pbskids.org/v2/kidspbsorg/home/").text
home = json.loads(home)

shows = {}
episodes = {}
