This Is What a Personal Surveillance System Actually Looks Like

I'm trying to understand / implement dependency resolving using the pubgrub algorithm (to use in my buildsystem nitto). But I keep running into bugs; The newset one:

Suppose we have the following state:
```
root 1.0.0 -> foo ^1.0.0, bar ^1.0.0
foo 1.1.0 -> bar ^2.0.0
foo 1.0.0 -> n/a
bar 1.0.0 -> n/a
bar 1.1.0 -> n/a
bar 2.0.0 -> n/a
```

Now after avoiding a conflict and by choosing to not select `foo 1.1.0` and deriving `not foo 1.1.0` from `{foo 1.1.0, not bar ^2.0.0}`, it derives `foo ^1.0.0` from `{root 1.0.0, not foo ^1.0.0}` even tho it is already an derivation term in the assignments! Aparentily it relates `not foo ^1.0.0` as as overlapping, and wants to add it again to the partial solution...

Being completely offline is rare these days, but it used to happen more often on a long train ride or during a power outage with a dying laptop battery. In those moments, I still wanted to program, and the experience was incredibly revealing. Programming offline shows you exactly what you've mastered and where your gaps are.

Without Stack OverFlow, Reddit, Discord or AI, you're left with only your intuition, local source code and your own knowledge. It's true test of skill. I realized I could spin up a web server in Java from memory, but the front-end was a different story. I quickly had to admit I lost with CSS without Googling properties or checking MDN. I ended up hunting throught old projects on my SSD just to find styles I could reuse.
