# Penalty Waivers

> Earn a second chance by completing a challenge before the deadline.

# Penalty Waivers

The **PenaltyWaiversScreen** (`penaltywaivers.tsx`) provides a second-chance mechanism. Instead of immediately suffering the penalty, the user can choose to complete a challenging waiver task within a configurable deadline.

***

## Waiver Types

### 1. Solve CAPTCHAs 🛡️

Solve between **1 and 400 CAPTCHAs** to waive the penalty. The count is configured during setup on a dedicated CAPTCHA configuration screen.

```typescript theme={null}
selectedWaiverType === "captcha"
// Routes to: /(penaltywaiver)/setup
```

### 2. Write a Long Paragraph ✍️

Type a **3,000-word paragraph** exactly as shown on screen. This forces deliberate friction — the user must invest significant time and effort to earn the waiver. No copy-paste allowed.

```typescript theme={null}
selectedWaiverType === "paragraph"
// Routes to: /(create-commit)/waiver-paragraph
```

### 3. Redo With More Intensity 🔥

Repeat the failed commitment the next day at a harder difficulty level. This escalation mechanism ensures the user takes the original commitment more seriously.

```typescript theme={null}
selectedWaiverType === "intense"
// Routes to: /(create-commit)/waiver-intense
```

### 4. Run 5 KM 🏃

Complete a verified 5-kilometer run at a chosen location. GPS tracking confirms the distance. This physical challenge acts as both punishment and positive reinforcement.

```typescript theme={null}
selectedWaiverType === "run"
// Routes to: /(create-commit)/waiver-run
```

***

## Waiver Deadline

Each waiver comes with a **time deadline** — a window during which the user must complete the challenge. If the deadline passes without completion, the original penalty activates automatically.

## Example

> **Library study commitment with waiver:**
>
> * Penalty: Embarrassing Photo → `maajithanas@gmail.com`
> * Waiver: Solve 5 CAPTCHAs within 30 minutes
> * If you miss the study session, you have 30 minutes to solve 5 CAPTCHAs
> * If you solve them in time, the embarrassing photo is NOT sent
> * If the 30 minutes expire, the photo is dispatched
