bvandeusen	c46a4a7709	A checklist is something a note has, not something a note is ... `kind` was never a type. A plain TEXT column with no enum and no CHECK behind it, compared against a hardcoded ("text", "list") tuple in six places; `note_items` was always an ordinary child table keyed by note_id; serialization already emitted `items` whatever the kind; and the Android editor already toggled between the two losslessly, saying so in a comment. The storage has modelled "a body plus optional checkable items" the whole time. This deletes the gates that forbade it. Every surface: the create/PATCH gates, the ?kind= filter and its saved-filter facet, the three import/export branches, the column (alembic 0025); the core's `kind` field, its SQLite column (user_version 6), the sync wire, push and pull; the FFI records and `NoteEdit::Kind`; and on Android `NoteKind.kt`, `DraftKind`, the compose sheet's Note/List switch, and the branches in the card, the editor and the chrome. The editor's note⇄list toggle becomes "Add a checklist" — on both the web and Android. It is not a conversion any more: nothing moves, nothing is swapped, the body stays exactly where it is and the note gains somewhere to put items. The card renders both, in order. Two things that fell out of the merge rather than being aimed at: - The Keep importer was DISCARDING `textContent` whenever a note also had `listContent`, because the target could only hold one. Both survive now, and the test says so. - Markdown export wrote the body OR the checklist. It writes both. Protocol goes to v2, floor included: dropping a field a v1 client sends and expects back is breaking. `title` leaves in step 3 and lands in the same generation, so it needs no further bump. This is the change that will make the 0.1.227 build on the operator's phone refuse to sync — the in-app updater is independent of the handshake and remains the recovery path. The V1 SQLite schema deliberately KEEPS the kind column. V1 is the historical schema and every later block alters it, so removing it there would make a fresh database run V1 without the column and then v6's DROP COLUMN against a column that never existed — "no such column: kind" on every new install.	2026-08-22 12:53:53 -04:00
bvandeusen	81695fa0c8	android: update the app from the server it syncs with (2727, M12 step 7) ... Closes M12. The phone can now notice that its server has a newer build and install it, instead of the operator copying an APK to a device by hand. **A PackageInstaller session, not an install intent.** The obvious route — ACTION_VIEW on the APK — is exactly what on-device install heuristics are tuned against, and it is what produced the "bypassing Android security" warning on Minstrel (Scribe note 2437). It also never tells the OS that this app is the legitimate updater of its own package, and it returns nothing: a failed install is indistinguishable from someone dismissing the dialog. The session says who is doing what, and on Android 12+ declares no user action required — which, with UPDATE_PACKAGES_WITHOUT_USER_ACTION, removes the confirmation entirely on the UPDATE path. Only there: Android will not let an app quietly put a NEW package on a device, which is right. It also only applies when the new build carries the same signing key as the installed one, which is why signing had to land first. Two things from that research deliberately NOT done: `setRequestUpdateOwnership` was chased and turned out to be a red herring, and REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES is not the differentiator either — Mihon declares it too. The mechanism was the whole difference. **The outcome comes back.** `commit` takes an IntentSender and the result lands at `UpdateReceiver`, so a failure can be shown rather than guessed at, and STATUS_PENDING_USER_ACTION is handled — that is the ordinary path below API 31 and still possible above it, since the OS is entitled to ask anyway. Someone declining is reported as no error at all: calling a deliberate choice a failure is how an app sounds broken when it is not. **The network work stays in Rust.** Two FFI additions — `clientUpdate` and `downloadClientUpdate` — because the device token lives in the core, and pulling it into Kotlin to make an HTTP call would spread the one secret this app holds across two languages for nothing. The core also owns the comparison, so the rule "version CODE decides, never the name" lives in the layer that has to get it right for every surface. The download is streamed to disk, not buffered: 55 MiB in memory on a phone is how an update gets killed halfway through. It lands in `update.apk.part` and is renamed only once size and sha256 both match, so an interrupted download can never be mistaken for a finished one. The digest is not a trust anchor — the signature is, and Android checks it — but it catches a truncated transfer before the installer is bothered with it. The advertised path is joined to the base URL this device is LINKED to rather than followed as given, so a server cannot point the download at a host nobody agreed to. **Updates are linked-only, and it says so.** An unlinked install has no update path, so it gets one sentence explaining where updates come from rather than a Check button that silently finds nothing — the same lesson as the desktop's unlink copy (issue 2110). And the "install unknown apps" grant is asked for BEFORE downloading, so nobody spends 55 MiB to be told no. Every Android API here was read out of `android-36/android.jar` with javap first, and the two new FFI methods out of freshly generated bindings, rather than recalled: `suspend fun clientUpdate(installedVersionCode: Long): ClientUpdate?` and `downloadClientUpdate(destPath: String)`. Also fixes `check-symbols.py`, which reported four false positives on `UpdateOutcome.Result` — its object-member index collected functions and properties but not nested TYPES, and a data class inside an object is an ordinary member.	2026-08-21 08:44:08 -04:00
bvandeusen	cae9888eb9	android: build the release APK with a debug-profile .so, for now ... `d0a9c73` switched the lane to a release Cargo profile alongside the release variant. The variant was the point; the profile was mine, and it broke the build (run 4077): `generateUniffiBindings` fails with "No UniFFI metadata found" on the release `.so`. The workspace release profile sets `strip = true`, and uniffi's `--library` mode finds its interface metadata through symbols. That is the obvious suspect and it is recorded as a suspect, not a finding — `lto = true` dropping the metadata statics would print the identical message and the two have not been told apart. Backed out to the debug profile rather than guessing at a fix, because the two halves of that commit are not equally important. Signing and a rising versionCode are what make an install replace the last one instead of wiping the notes; the Rust profile only makes the result faster. The APK this produces is no worse than every previous build, all of which shipped a debug-profile `.so`. Recorded as Scribe #2810 with the four candidate fixes and, more usefully, the instruction to establish the cause on a host build before spending another four-minute cold cross-compile on a guess.	2026-08-20 19:16:03 -04:00
bvandeusen	d0a9c73bf9	android: sign the release build, and give it a version that rises ... Two separate reasons updates were impossible, both fixed here. **Every CI build was signed with a different key** (issue #2803, measured with `apksigner --print-certs` across two runs). No signing config meant AGP's debug keystore, which AGP GENERATES when absent — and every job starts from a fresh container. So no build could ever be installed over another: the only way through was uninstall-then-install, which deletes the app's database and every local note with it. **versionCode was hardcoded to 1.** `build.gradle.kts` has read a `THOUGHTSYNC_VERSION_CODE` property since the skeleton landed; nothing ever passed it. Even with signing fixed, every APK would have claimed to be the same version and nothing could tell a newer one existed. It now comes from `GITHUB_RUN_NUMBER` — the same monotonic counter the desktop's version scheme already uses, needing no state between runs and immune to the shallow checkout that makes a commit count useless here. The version NAME comes from the desktop's `build-version.sh`, so both surfaces report one product version rather than two that can disagree. **The alias is hardcoded, not a secret.** It is fixed for the life of the app and already written into the certificate every install carries; hiding it would buy nothing and stop this file describing its own signing. Two secrets, not three — and PKCS12 cannot hold a key password distinct from the store password anyway, so `keyPassword` is the same value by necessity rather than by shortcut. **The lane now builds RELEASE when it can sign, debug when it cannot.** That is not cosmetic. A debug APK is `debuggable`, which on a phone holding personal notes and a device sync token means anyone with adb can read both. Which meant confronting something the release path would have shipped quietly: `cargoNdkDebug` was hardcoded to the debug Cargo profile and every variant took its `.so` from it, so `assembleRelease` would have packaged an UNOPTIMISED store and sync engine. Now one `cargoNdk` task takes its profile from a property, and the whole run uses one profile. A debug/release task pair would have been the tidier shape and would have made a run that both type-checks and packages pay the four-minute cross-compile twice — this runner has no working Gradle or Cargo cache, so that cost is real on every push. The run prints the signing certificate after assembling, so the fingerprint can be compared against the one recorded at generation. Signing with the wrong key produces a perfectly valid APK that simply refuses to install — a failure that otherwise surfaces on the device, long after the run is green. `.gitignore` learns `*.jks`, `*.keystore`, `*.p12`, `*.b64` first, so generating a keystore anywhere near this tree cannot go wrong. Also corrects the record: the comment this replaces cited "Scribe task 2136" as though it were a standing rule. It is not one — none of the 46 always-on rules mentions signing keys. 2136 is a desktop-updater task whose REASONING got repeated until it sounded like policy. The reasoning holds, and holds harder on Android where a key cannot be rotated without the original, so the practice is unchanged; the citation is now honest about what it is.	2026-08-20 19:03:57 -04:00
bvandeusen	f38864088b	core: a completed recurring reminder advances instead of ending ... `complete_reminder` cleared `remind_at` and said so in its own comment — "(Recurrence advancement is a later refinement.)". So Done on a daily reminder was quietly the last time it ever fired. Reminder notifications made that much easier to hit, because Done is now a button in the notification shade. **The server already had this.** `src/thoughtsync/notes/recurrence.py` has done it correctly all along, which means the web behaved one way and the desktop and Android the other, on the same note, in the same account. This is a port of that file rather than a fresh implementation, kept behaviourally identical rather than merely similar: the same reminder can be completed from a browser or a client, and a disagreement would move it depending on which one you happened to use. The seven new tests in `core/src/local/recur.rs` mirror the Python suite case for case, including the one that matters most in practice — 31 January plus a month is 28 February, and the step after that is 28 March rather than back to the 31st. That clamp is sticky, and it is now asserted on both sides so a future "fix" to either has to change both. Advancement is measured from the reminder's own time, never from now, which is what keeps a 09:00 daily reminder at 09:00 when it is dealt with at 09:47. A phone left in a drawer for a fortnight rolls forward to tomorrow rather than arriving at fourteen pending occurrences of the same thing. Also matched from the server, and a latent bug of its own: the non-recurring branch now clears `recurrence` as well as `remind_at`. Before, completing a note that carried a rule left the rule behind with no reminder attached — invisible in every UI, since they only render recurrence when there is a reminder to recur from, and waiting to surprise whoever next set a time on that note. Documented rather than hidden, and shared with the server: the arithmetic is in UTC and a note carries no timezone, so a daily reminder crossing a DST boundary keeps its UTC time and shifts by an hour locally. Fixing that means a zone per note, which is a wire-format change. Verified in the CI image before pushing: fmt, clippy --all-targets -D warnings, and the full suite — core 89 to 96, ffi 11 to 12. The new FFI test walks the path the notification's Done button actually takes.	2026-08-19 21:22:22 -04:00
bvandeusen	8f13dc2e2c	android: restore the dismiss I deleted, and teach the checker to see it ... `785ebdb` failed at compileDebugKotlin with two `Unresolved reference 'dismiss'`. Splitting the reminder notification code into its own object, I removed `dismiss` from `Reminders` and never pasted it into `ReminderNotification`. The call sites were correctly qualified; the function simply was not there. All four local gates passed it, and `check-symbols.py` passed it for a reason it documented about itself: it only resolved the LEADING segment of a dotted expression, because that is the part a regex can resolve. `ReminderNotification` existed, so `ReminderNotification.dismiss(...)` looked fine. That was a real gap rather than an inherent one, so the checker now indexes the members of every `object` declared in the package and verifies `Foo.bar` against them. Brace-counted, not regex-matched — an object body is full of nested braces from lambdas and apply blocks, and no regex closes correctly over them. Verified by deleting `dismiss` from a copy of the tree again: it reports the same two call sites the Kotlin compiler did. What it still cannot see is narrowed and written down rather than left implied — members of anything declared outside this package, members reached through a variable rather than a type name, and every question about types.	2026-08-19 20:13:43 -04:00
bvandeusen	785ebdba59	android: reminders that actually reach you (M12 step 6) ... Reminders have been settable since the editor landed and have never once gone off. The board showed them overdue in red, which tells you what you already know by the time you are looking at the board. **AlarmManager, not WorkManager.** The background sync is right to be on WorkManager — nobody minds whether it runs at 3:05 or 3:19. A reminder minds very much. WorkManager's periodic floor is fifteen minutes and it batches into maintenance windows, so "remind me at 09:00" would routinely arrive at 09:14, which is not a reminder, it is a rebuke. **One alarm, not one per reminder.** Only the earliest future reminder is ever scheduled; when it fires, everything due is announced and the next is scheduled. A hundred reminders cost one alarm, and there is no incremental bookkeeping to drift — `Reminders.refresh` recomputes the whole picture from the store, and is called from everywhere anything could have changed: an edit, a foreground, a background sync, boot, and an app update. Boot and MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED both matter and both are easy to forget. Pending alarms survive neither, and this app updates by APK from its own server, so without that receiver a phone would silently stop reminding anyone of anything after a restart — the worst kind of failure, because nothing appears wrong. **Neither permission is treated as a prerequisite.** SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM, not USE_EXACT_ALARM: the latter is granted at install with no prompt and is reserved for apps whose whole purpose is an alarm clock or a calendar, which this is not. Refusing the former costs precision, not the feature — it falls back to an inexact alarm, because a reminder a few minutes late beats no reminder. POST_NOTIFICATIONS is asked for on the first launch where a reminder actually exists, never at launch on an empty board. Android gives an app essentially one chance at that dialog, and spending it before the person has any idea what this app would send them is spending it on nothing. For anyone who refuses, or who turns notifications off later in system settings, the Reminders view carries a standing notice with a button to the right screen — a feature that silently does nothing is worse than one that is plainly absent. **A first run adopts overdue reminders silently.** The storm case is linking a server and pulling months of history; a hundred notifications the moment someone signs in is a good way to have the feature turned off before it is ever useful. After that, a missed reminder is announced up to a day late — the web uses fifteen minutes because an open tab has been polling every forty-five seconds, but a phone can be switched off all night. Done and Snooze act from the shade without opening the app. The dedupe key is note id plus remind_at, the same one the web store uses, so snoozing produces a new occurrence rather than one already dealt with. Tapping a notification opens that note. The extra is CONSUMED when read: the Activity keeps the intent it was launched with, so without that, rotating the phone would replay it and reopen a note the person had already closed. `Reminders` split into scheduling policy and `ReminderNotification` rendering after detekt counted fourteen functions in one object — it was right, they answer different questions and change for different reasons. `ForegroundTransitions` moves to the ui package; the reminder notice needs it to re-read a permission the person may have just changed in a system screen this app cannot observe. Known gap, pre-existing and shared with every surface: `complete_reminder` in the core clears a reminder without advancing recurrence — its own comment says so. So tapping Done on a daily reminder ends it rather than moving it to tomorrow. Not changed here because it is core behaviour the desktop and web also have, but notifications make it much easier to hit, and it should be next.	2026-08-19 20:06:05 -04:00
bvandeusen	39170b715c	android: leaving the composer keeps the note, and the board loses its dead space ... Two things the operator hit on a real device. **Capture threw work away.** Every exit from the compose sheet except Save discarded it — tapping the board behind, swiping down, back, backgrounding the app, and rotating the phone. That is the wrong default anywhere and the worst possible one here: a sheet that loses a typed thought because you touched outside it teaches people not to trust the app with a thought, and capture is the one place this product cannot afford that. Now every way out saves, which is the shape the editor already settled on. The difference is that capture also has to be abandonable — tapping + and changing your mind is normal — so Discard exists and is the only path that loses anything. It is called Discard rather than Cancel because "cancel" means "undo what I am doing", which is precisely what leaving no longer does; the word would have described the one button it is not attached to. An empty draft needs neither and is simply dropped: a blank note nobody asked for is worse than none. Backgrounding persists but does NOT close an empty sheet. Someone who tapped + and got distracted should find the composer where they left it. Rotation was losing it twice over: the draft was `remember`, and so was the flag saying the sheet is open. Both are `rememberSaveable` now, along with the sync screen's — the editor never had the bug because the note it sits on lives in a view model, and these were the only screen state that did not. `FlushOnStop` moves out of NoteEditorScreen into its own file; the editor and the capture sheet want the identical thing for the identical reason, and it was about to be copied. **The board had a centimetre of nothing above the search field.** `SearchBar` applied `statusBarsPadding()` inside a `Scaffold` whose content padding already carries the system-bar insets — `ScaffoldDefaults.contentWindowInsets` is `systemBarsForVisualComponents`, checked in the material3 sources rather than assumed. So the status bar height was reserved twice on the first screen anyone sees. Insets get consumed once, by whichever component owns the edge.	2026-08-19 19:39:40 -04:00
bvandeusen	5680f046e3	android: name all four permissions WorkManager adds, not one ... The note added with the previous commit said RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED arrives in the merged manifest via WorkManager. True, and incomplete — it brings four: RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE, WAKE_LOCK and FOREGROUND_SERVICE. A comment whose whole job is "here is why the permission list has entries this file does not declare" fails at that job if it accounts for one of them. Each now says what it is for, checked against the built APK's merged manifest rather than the library's — which is the version a person actually sees.	2026-08-19 19:11:19 -04:00
bvandeusen	452c66c8ef	android: sync without being asked (M12 step 6) ... Until now every sync was a button press. Pull-to-refresh made asking cheaper; it did not stop the app needing to be asked, which on a phone means a note written on the bus reaches the desktop whenever you next happen to open the app. Three moments, and they are deliberately not the same job: * **Coming to the front**, if the last sync is over five minutes old or there is unsent work. Not on every foreground: stepping out to copy a link and stepping back is not a request for fresh notes, and syncing on every app switch spends someone's mobile data telling them what they are looking at. * **Going away with unsent work** — handed to WorkManager rather than run inline, because the process is about to stop being a priority and a sync started there would be killed halfway. This is the one that matters most: it is what gets a note off a phone that then goes into a pocket for the night. * **Every fifteen minutes**, network-constrained. Fifteen is not a preference, it is WorkManager's floor for periodic work; asking for less gets fifteen. **An automatic sync must not raise an error banner.** Someone who pulled the board down is owed an answer; someone who merely opened the app did not ask a question, and answering it with a red banner about an unreachable server makes their own notes look broken when nothing of theirs is. So `syncNow` and `syncQuietly` differ in exactly one thing — whether failure is announced. The quiet channel for a persistent problem is the drawer badge, from `has_pending`, which does not care how the attempt was made. **There is a switch, defaulting to on.** Linking a server IS the consent; a person who paired a device and then had to find a second toggle before anything moved would reasonably call that broken. It lives in SharedPreferences rather than the store: everything else in sync state describes the PAIRING and must survive a reinstall, while this describes how one handset behaves, and someone turning it off on their phone is not asking their laptop to stop. The copy says what "automatically" means in minutes and says that off is not off — a switch next to a Disconnect button invites exactly that misreading. The schedule is DECLARED as a function of (linked, switch) in a LaunchedEffect rather than toggled from the places that change them. There are four routes to "should not be syncing on its own" and a call at each is four chances to leave a phone quietly syncing after it was told to stop. `ON_START`/`ON_STOP`, not resume/pause — the same choice the editor's save-on- leave makes, because pause fires for anything covering the window and a sync per notification-shade pull is not automatic sync, it is a stutter. RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED now appears in the merged manifest. WorkManager contributes it so the schedule survives a restart; commented in AndroidManifest because it shows in the app's permission list and nothing else in that file would explain it. Two things read from artifacts rather than recalled, both of which memory would have got wrong: `work-runtime-ktx` is an empty 6 KB stub as of 2.11 with `CoroutineWorker` and `PeriodicWorkRequestBuilder` moved into `work-runtime`, so the dependency is on the latter alone; and `Switch` is not experimental in material3 1.4.0, so no `@OptIn` — an unnecessary one is itself a warning. Also adds `android/tools/check-strings.py`, after this change added three strings: `R` is generated, so `R.string.typo` type-checks whether or not the string exists. It catches a missing name, `stringResource` on a plural or the reverse, and a format taking more arguments than the call passes. Verified against a tree with one of each fault — its first version counted Kotlin's trailing commas as arguments and called three correct sites broken, which is the failure that teaches you to ignore a tool. Two comments in this change were wrong when written and are corrected here rather than left: the flag check in SyncWorker does NOT avoid opening the store, because Application.onCreate has already run by the time any Worker starts.	2026-08-19 19:04:45 -04:00
bvandeusen	64542ed6cb	android: pull the board down to sync (M12 step 6) ... Every sync so far has been a button press on a screen you have to navigate to. On a phone the gesture for "check if there's anything new" is a pull, and not having it is the kind of absence people read as the app not syncing at all. **The gesture is INERT when this device has no server.** `Modifier.pullToRefresh` takes an `enabled`, which is why the modifier and the indicator are wired by hand instead of using `PullToRefreshBox` — that wrapper is less code and offers no way to turn the gesture off. An unlinked device has nowhere to pull from, and a gesture that always comes back empty is how people learn a control is broken. Same reasoning as the drawer badge staying silent when unlinked: local-only is this app's resting state, not a fault. **A failed refresh reaches the board.** Otherwise the spinner retracts and nothing happens, which is indistinguishable from "you were already up to date" — the one outcome it must not be confused with. It renders as a second banner rather than replacing the store-error one: those are different facts about different halves of the app, and hiding either behind the other reports the wrong problem. Dismissing is honest — the note is still pending, `hasPending` still says so, and the next cycle reports the same fault if it persists. **The empty board is now a `LazyColumn` holding one centred item.** Pull-to- refresh works through nested scroll, and a layout that never scrolls never dispatches any, so on the old plain `Column` the gesture would have been dead on exactly the screen where it matters most: linked, board empty, notes still on the server. Looks identical. The five sync facts the board needs arrive as one `BoardSync` rather than five parameters, for the reason `EditorAction` exists: `summary` and `error` are both `String?` and both about sync, so positionally they could be swapped with nothing to catch it. Still no automatic sync — no background cycle, no sync-on-resume. This is a faster way to ask, not a decision to stop asking. TalkBack users cannot perform a pull; the drawer's Sync → Sync now remains the accessible path, unchanged. Verified against the real artifact rather than from memory, since `material3` resolves through the BOM: 1.4.0's sources confirm `pullToRefresh` has `enabled`, and that none of `pullToRefresh`, `rememberPullToRefreshState`, `Indicator` or `PullToRefreshBox` is `@ExperimentalMaterial3Api` there — only two deprecated members are. So no `@OptIn`, which is what keeps the build at zero warnings.	2026-08-19 16:36:56 -04:00
bvandeusen	65d8f5f9c6	android: the import ktlint and detekt cannot see ... `750d11d` failed CI at `compileDebugKotlin` with `Unresolved reference 'Build'`. `defaultDeviceName()` reads `android.os.Build`, and the import was lost when `SyncPairing.kt` was split out of `SyncScreen.kt`. One line to fix. The interesting part is that ktlint and detekt had both passed it, locally and in CI. Neither resolves symbols — they parse — so a file that cannot compile is indistinguishable to them from one that can. A clean analyzer run is not evidence the code builds, and on this repo `compileDebugKotlin` is the only gate that type-checks at all, since there is no Android SDK on the workstation. So: `android/tools/check-symbols.py`, covering that one blind spot. It flags any capitalised identifier that is neither imported, declared in the same package, a type parameter, nor implicitly available. Not a type checker and not pretending to be — a pre-push filter for the single mistake that survives every other local gate, erring toward false positives. Verified against a known-bad tree rather than trusted on a green: deleting the `Build` import from a copy makes it fail with the same two references the Kotlin compiler reported. That step is not ceremony. An earlier attempt at this check stripped line comments with `re.S`, where `//.*` eats each file from its first comment to EOF — it examined almost nothing and reported everything clean. ci-requirements.md now documents all three Kotlin checks, and its claim that no workflow consumes the Android image yet is gone; the lane has been running since step 5.	2026-08-19 15:51:12 -04:00
bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	750d11d32e	android: connect a server from the phone (M12 step 6) ... The plumbing has been bound since step 4 — probe, link by password or token, unlink, sync — with nothing on top of it. Until this commit the phone was a good standalone notes app that could not be the SAME notes as the desktop, which is the point of the project. Structurally a port of the desktop's SyncView.vue: same probe-then-link order, same copy wherever the copy was already right. The two surfaces pair with the same servers, and a difference in wording here would read as a difference in behaviour. BEING UNLINKED IS NOT A PROBLEM, and the screen is written around that. It leads with "Working offline on this device" and says what connecting would ADD. A local-first app that frames its resting state as unfinished setup is lying about what it is. The drawer badge follows the same rule: it says nothing at all when unlinked, rather than "Off". Probe before credentials. A typo that reaches a stranger's server should cost a round trip, not a password — so the address is checked first, what answered is shown (name, version, compatibility), and only then does a sign-in form appear. An incompatible server never gets one; the core would refuse the link anyway, and collecting a password to throw away is worse than not asking. CLEARTEXT IS NOW PERMITTED, deliberately and not silently. Android blocks plain http from API 28, and the core explicitly supports a self-hosted server on a LAN — `http://192.168.1.10:8000` is a case it has a test for. The platform default would make this app unusable for exactly the people it is built for, with a transport error they could do nothing about. A network-security-config would be tighter in principle but matches domains and IP literals, not CIDR ranges, so it cannot express "my own network". The other half of the trade is a warning that appears the moment a probed address starts with http:// and BEFORE any credential field: anyone on the same network can read your password and your notes. Credentials never enter the view model. The address, email and device name are `rememberSaveable` so a rotation doesn't cost a retype; the password and the token are plain `remember` on purpose — rememberSaveable persists into the instance-state bundle, and a secret has no business being written there to save four seconds of typing. They reach the core as a `Credentials` sealed type and die with the composable. That sealed type also fixed a bug detekt surfaced by complaining about a six-parameter function: `link_with_token` takes NO device name (the token was already minted against a named device in the web app), so the flat argument list meant the form collected one in token mode and silently dropped it. The field now exists only on the password path. Threading, which differs by call and is easy to get wrong in one direction: probe / linkWithPassword / linkWithToken / unlink / syncNow are Rust async through uniffi, so Kotlin sees suspend functions already driven by tokio and awaits them directly — wrapping them in Dispatchers.IO would park a thread to wait on something that never blocks one. syncStatus and hasPending are ordinary blocking FFI into SQLite and do need it. A sync that changed anything tells the board to reload, because a pull can have rewritten every note it is holding. Wired explicitly at the one place that owns both view models rather than through a shared event bus. A no-op sync deliberately does not, so the board never flashes its loading state for nothing. Sync results are kept RAW in state and turned into sentences in the UI, where stringResource is in scope — the same split Time.kt draws for timestamps. The summary counts what MOVED; batches, pages, noop and cursor are all real numbers and none of them answer "are my notes in step". Rejections are surfaced rather than swallowed: only a person can resolve them. So is a revoke that didn't land — someone disconnecting to retire a phone has to be told a live credential is still out there, and has to still find it when they come back to check, so it is a persistent notice and not a toast. Also here: `Panel`/`Notice` extracted as shared tinted chrome, drawn from the same note palette the cards use rather than Material's errorContainer, so a warning is the same yellow a note can be. `PlainTextField` gained a visual transformation for the password field. `formatReminder` became `formatInstant` now that "last synced" reads it too. Verified locally per ci-requirements.md: ktlint and detekt clean in ci-rust-android:1.97, uniffi bindings generated from a host build and read to confirm ULong on the summary counters, `Compatibility.Ok`/`RevokeOutcome. Unsupported` being objects, and all five sync calls being suspend. Every R.string/R.plurals reference cross-checked for existence, kind and format arity. A symbol-resolution pass over the whole package caught a composable a bad edit had deleted — ktlint and detekt both parse without resolving, so neither could see it. Not done: no automatic sync. The desktop is manual-only too, so this is parity rather than a gap, but pull-to-refresh on the board is the obvious phone-native follow-up. Worth an operator decision, not changed here: allowBackup is still true, so Android's cloud backup now includes a device token as well as the notes. Good for restoring to a new phone, and a wider blast radius than before this commit. Scribe #2777 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-19 15:41:02 -04:00
bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	cf0ce382a0	android: the note editor (M12 step 6) ... Tapping a card now opens something. Until this commit the phone could create, find and navigate; it could not change anything. A FULL SCREEN, not a sheet. Capture is a sheet because the board behind it is reassurance that the thought landed; editing is a sustained task with the keyboard up, and a sheet would spend the whole time fighting the IME for the bottom half of the display. Full screen also puts the actions in a bottom bar, which is where a thumb already is. The note's colour paints the whole screen, so opening one reads as the same object growing to fill the display. Text saves ONCE, on close — plus on ON_STOP, so app-switching mid-paragraph doesn't lose it. Not debounced autosave: the core snapshots a revision on every title/body change, so saving per typing pause would fill version history with near-identical entries. A baseline check means opening a note and backing out writes nothing at all, rather than bumping updated_at and marking it dirty for sync. Same shape the web editor settled on, for the same reason. The editor speaks in ACTIONS, not callbacks. The first version passed a bundle of twenty lambdas and the doc comment on it was already worrying about two of the same-shaped ones getting swapped, with nothing to catch it. `EditorAction` plus one `(EditorAction) -> Unit` costs a `when` at the far end and buys exhaustiveness: adding a variant breaks the dispatcher until it is handled. Checklist rows are live here — real checkboxes, editable text, remove, and an add row that keeps focus so a list types straight through. That is the answer to the open question about list entry: the capture sheet stays one-item-per- line because at capture time the list is already in your head and a tap per row is the slow part; the editor is where a list is REVISED, and revising is item-at-a-time. Row text commits on focus loss, not per keystroke — each commit is a store write that reloads the note. Colour, labels and reminders are bottom sheets. Reminders lead with presets (later today / tomorrow / next week) and keep the exact picker one tap down: the web's raw datetime-local is right for a desktop and three taps too many for the common case on a phone. Recurrence only appears once there is a reminder to recur from. The date picker reports UTC midnight of the calendar day tapped and is read back in UTC — reading it in the device zone is the classic off-by-a-day in that control. Pin, labels, archive and delete live in the overflow as WORDS. `material-icons-core` has no pin, archive or label glyph, and the alternatives were pulling in the ~1,000-vector extended set for four icons or pressing unrelated ones into service — a star meaning "pin" is a star meaning "favourite" to everyone who has used another app. The colour button is a dot in the note's current colour, which says what the colour IS as well as what the button does. A trashed note renders read-only. Editing one would silently resurrect work that was meant to be thrown away; Restore and Delete forever are the only things to do with it. Deleting for good is the one irreversible action in the app and gets the one confirmation in it. `#tag` labels are never sent to `set_labels` and get no remove button. They are owned by the body text and the core re-derives them on the next edit, so a cross that undid itself a second later would look broken. FFI additions: delete_note_forever, add_item, set_item_text, set_item_checked, delete_item, complete_reminder, snooze_reminder, set_note_labels, create_label. `set_item_text`/`set_item_checked` are split rather than exposing the core's {text?, checked?} patch, for the same reason NoteEdit is a list — an optional-field struct cannot say "leave this alone" in Kotlin without colliding with "set it to null". Four new tests (11 total in the crate). Found while extracting shared helpers: the card painted EVERY reminder blue, so "you missed this" and "coming up Friday" looked identical. Now red when overdue and neutral otherwise, matching the web card's exact pairs. And the error banner was renderable only by the board — the one screen that needed it, where the writes happen, was the one screen without it. DRY, since three copies each had appeared: PlainTextField (the undecorated field used by capture, editor, checklist rows and the search bar), Time.kt (the RFC3339 seam), NoteKind.kt, ErrorBanner. detekt: LongMethod and LongParameterList now ignore @Composable. Compose breaks those rules' PREMISE, not just their thresholds — a composable's parameters are its UI contract and its length tracks how many elements are on screen, not branching. Two suppressions carry their reasoning at the site instead: onEditorAction is sixty lines because EditorAction has twenty variants, and splitting it would need an `else` that throws away the exhaustiveness; and BoardViewModel stays one class because every editor mutation has to reload the board behind it. Verified locally before pushing, per ci-requirements.md: fmt/clippy/test in ci-tauri:1.97 (89 + 11 + 11 tests, four crates present), ktlint and detekt in ci-rust-android:1.97, uniffi bindings generated from a host build and read to confirm every method and field name the Kotlin calls. Still unbuilt: attachments, link previews, version history, and label management (rename/recolour/delete). Setting up a server from the phone is next.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	64e016f32d	android: phone-shaped chrome and the real note card (M12 step 6) ... Two things at once, because they answer one question: what should this look like, and what should it look like ON A PHONE. IDENTITY IS SHARED, INTERACTION IS NOT. The card now renders exactly what the web and desktop render — note colour, checklists, label chips, reminders — using the same palette values, so a note looks like your note on every surface. The chrome does not: the desktop's title bar and sidebar are wrong for a thumb. * NoteTint.kt carries the Tailwind colours from frontend/src/notes/colors.ts VALUE FOR VALUE, generated from tailwindcss 3.4 rather than eyeballed. Dark tints keep the web's alpha (dark:bg-*-950/40) instead of a precomputed blend, because Compose composites translucency over the background exactly as CSS does. * Dynamic colour is GONE. It was the more Android-native choice and it made the app look like a different product — on a stock emulator with no wallpaper it renders as undifferentiated grey, which is what the operator saw. Three peer surfaces share one identity; the brand #F5C518 is the same value the web manifest and the launcher icon already use. * The board is a two-column staggered grid, the Compose equivalent of the CSS multi-column NoteGrid.vue uses. PHONE ERGONOMICS, chosen with the operator: * Search IS the top bar. After writing a note, finding one is the most common thing you do, and burying it behind an icon costs a tap every time. Debounced 180ms and cancelled per keystroke — without that a fast typist queues one full-text query per character and results land out of order. * A + button is the only way in. One obvious target beat a capture bar and a button competing for the same job. * Navigation moved into a drawer behind the search bar's menu icon, which is where archive/trash/labels/reminders now live. They had nowhere to go once search took the top bar, and would otherwise have been unreachable. * The compose sheet asks note-or-list up front. On a phone those are different typing tasks and switching halfway is worse than choosing at the start. A list takes one item per line — fast to type, versus a tap per row. Three new bindings the UI needed: search_notes, reminder_notes, list_labels. Search goes through the CORE so "what matches" cannot drift between surfaces; filtering the loaded list in Kotlin would have been less code and a different product. reminder_notes is its own call because the core models it that way — "has a reminder" cuts across archived and active alike. Empty states are per-destination. "Nothing here yet" is encouraging on an empty board, wrong in Trash, and misleading after a search where the notes exist but did not match. Verified locally before pushing: bindings generated from a host .so and read back, ktlint and detekt clean from the image's pinned CLIs, cargo fmt/clippy/test green (107 tests). Two detekt findings were fixed by extraction rather than by relaxing the rules — this is the first Compose code in the repo and the thresholds should have to earn their exceptions. Still unbuilt: tapping a card does nothing. The editor is next. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-19 09:23:00 -04:00
bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	c8af808432	android: package only the ABIs we actually build for ... The first working APK carried libjnidispatch.so for armeabi, mips and mips64 as well as our four — JNA's .aar still ships those, and AGP packages whatever it finds. Android dropped mips in NDK r17 and armeabi in r17 too; nothing that can install this app can load them, so they are pure payload. abiFilters pins the set to the four the Rust is actually cross-compiled for, so the APK's ABI list matches the build's intent rather than the union of every dependency's history. Found by unpacking the artifact rather than trusting the green: the run said "Upload debug APK ✓", which is true and says nothing about what is inside it.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	5eab2dd0b3	android: the error enum has to be flat, or the bindings don't compile ... Fifth run cleared ktlint and detekt and failed compiling the GENERATED Kotlin: 'message' hides member of supertype 'Throwable' and needs an 'override' modifier My design, surfacing one layer down. CoreError's variants carried a `message` field, and uniffi turns an error enum into exception classes extending Throwable — which already has `message`. `#[uniffi(flat_error)]` is the right fix rather than renaming the field. Renaming would dodge the collision and leave `e.message` null on the Kotlin side, so every call site would have to know which variant it caught just to read the text. Flat passes the Display string to the Throwable constructor, where Kotlin expects it, and costs nothing that matters: each variant is still its own subclass, so `catch (e: CoreException.NotLinked)` still works and a `when` is still exhaustive. Only the fields stop crossing, and for every variant that has one the field IS the Display string. Confirmed by generating the bindings and reading them: sealed class CoreException(message: String): kotlin.Exception(message) { class NotLinked(message: String) : CoreException(message) class Store(message: String) : CoreException(message) class Network(message: String) : CoreException(message) } That check is worth keeping. thoughtsync-ffi already builds a HOST .so as part of the workspace, and `--library` mode reads metadata straight out of it — so the exact Kotlin the Android lane will compile can be generated and inspected here, with no Android toolchain involved. It also let me verify the app's call sites against the real generated API rather than against my assumptions about uniffi's naming: ThoughtSync(dataDir), createNote(draft), listNotes(query), Note.displayTitle, and NoteDraft/NoteQuery's parameter names all match.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	dee71dffb3	android: teach the linters this codebase's conventions, and fix two real nits ... Fourth run got the whole native pipeline through — cargo-ndk built all four ABIs and uniffi generated the Kotlin — and then failed on style. Two genuine mistakes, fixed: * BoardViewModel's constructor parameter needed its own line. * PaddingValues was written fully-qualified inline, which ktlint read as a method chain. Importing it is what the rule was actually asking for, and what the line should have said anyway. The other ten were the tools not knowing this codebase: * @Composable functions are PascalCase by universal Compose convention. Exempted in BOTH .editorconfig (ktlint) and config/detekt.yml — they have to agree or one of them is always wrong. * MagicNumber on `private val Brand = Color(0xFFF5C518)`. The rule asks for a well-named constant; that line IS one. ignorePropertyDeclaration. * TooGenericExceptionCaught in the ViewModel and Application. Deliberate and already commented: a note that fails to save must become a visible error banner rather than a crash, and the store failing to open must still let the app start so it can explain itself. Scoped to those two paths, not disabled globally — everywhere else the rule is right. Verified locally this time, both linters clean, using the SAME pinned CLIs from ci-android:36 that the lane runs. ktlint and detekt are a formatter and a static analyzer — the same category as cargo fmt and clippy, which is the precedent ci-requirements already sets. No build was run locally. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-18 16:04:40 -04:00
bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	5d0de7a682	android: the binding generator gets its own crate, free of the app's deps ... Third Android run got further than either before it — all four ABIs cross-compiled, vendored OpenSSL and all — then the generator died: error: failed to run custom build command for `openssl-sys v0.9.117` That is the HOST build. The generator was a [[bin]] inside thoughtsync-ffi, so building it compiled that crate and therefore the core, reqwest, native-tls and openssl-sys for linux. The vendored-OpenSSL block is scoped to `cfg(target_os = "android")`, so the host build went looking for a system OpenSSL that ci-rust-android has no reason to carry. Adding libssl-dev to the image would have fixed it and been wrong: a code generator has no business linking the app's TLS stack to emit Kotlin. Splitting it into thoughtsync-uniffi-bindgen, whose only dependency is uniffi, removes the entire chain. Verified from the dependency graph rather than from a build that happened to succeed — `cargo tree -p thoughtsync-uniffi-bindgen` contains none of openssl-sys, native-tls, reqwest, thoughtsync-core or rusqlite. It stays a WORKSPACE MEMBER on purpose. Sharing one lockfile is what keeps uniffi here and uniffi linked into the .so at one version; they are two halves of one ABI, and a separate lockfile is precisely how they would drift apart. The cost is that the desktop lane now compiles ~15 generator crates it never runs — cheap next to Tauri, and better than leaving the crate unlinted. Drops the `bindgen` feature and required-features bin from thoughtsync-ffi, which existed only to keep those crates off the desktop lane and now have nothing to gate. Local fmt + clippy + test all green before pushing (107 tests). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-08-18 15:54:10 -04:00
bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	3d3df1beb0	android: register generated sources through the Variant API ... Second Android run failed with AGP 9 refusing the previous fix by name: You cannot add Provider instances to the Android SourceSet API. [...] Instead you should use the Sources interface in the Variant API, in particular SourceDirectories.addGeneratedDirectory AGP cannot tell from a Provider whether the directory holds generated (read-only) or hand-written (read-write) files, which is a distinction the IDE needs. `addGeneratedSourceDirectory` is the supported route and — unlike the plain-path form the error offers as an escape hatch — it carries the task dependency, so Kotlin still cannot compile before the bindings are generated and the APK cannot package a stale .so.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	f179928c57	android: run ktlint and detekt from the image, not as Gradle plugins ... First Android run failed at plugin resolution: Plugin [id: 'io.gitlab.arturbosch.detekt', version: '2.0.0-alpha.3'] was not found in any of the following sources That version is published to neither Maven Central nor the plugin portal — the latest detekt anywhere is 1.23.8. It was copied from Minstrel's catalog, where it presumably resolves from a cached artifact; copying a pin without checking it exists is what made it my problem. Rather than chase a working plugin version, the analyzers now run from the CLIs ci-rust-android already ships. That was the point of putting them in the image in step 3, and going through Gradle plugins would have meant a SECOND pinned version of each tool, resolved at build time, kept in lockstep with the image's by hand. One less resolution step, and step 3's decision finally earns its keep. Also replaces the source-ordering hack while here. Kotlin has to compile after the bindings are generated, and the usual `tasks.withType<KotlinCompile>` cannot be written in this build at all — AGP 9's built-in Kotlin means that class is not on the buildscript classpath. Passing the TASK PROVIDERS to srcDir instead lets Gradle read their @OutputDirectory and infer the ordering itself, which is the idiomatic form and removes the dependsOn entirely. Good news from the failed run: the Gradle wrapper check passed, so Gradle 9.1.0 on the image's JDK 25 works — the toolchain decision from step 3 holds.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	20907abf6e	android: a Kotlin/Compose app that drives the Rust core (M12 step 5) ... The skeleton, and the lane that builds it. Gradle invokes cargo-ndk to cross-compile thoughtsync-ffi for four ABIs, generates the Kotlin bindings from the resulting .so, and packages both. BUILT ON MINSTREL'S TOOLCHAIN, not a fresh guess. Gradle 9.1.0 / AGP 9.0.1 / Kotlin 2.3.21 on JDK 25 is the combination already proven in this family on ci-android, including the JDK 22+ native-access opt-in the launcher JVM needs and the artifact-upload action pinned by SHA (issues 2255 / 2270). It also independently confirms the JDK 25 call made on ci-rust-android in step 3. Gradle wiring worth noting: * ExecOperations, not project.exec — the latter was REMOVED in Gradle 9, and touching `project` at execution time is also what breaks the configuration cache this build enables. * The cargo task's inputs are the Rust SOURCES, not the workspace directory. Declaring the directory would make Gradle hash target/, which is gigabytes. * Bindings are generated with `--library` against the built .so, so they can never describe a different version of the Rust than the one being packaged. * cargo runs --locked, so an Android build cannot silently re-resolve the lockfile the desktop lanes are gated on. JNA is a real dependency, with the @aar classifier. The plain jar builds fine and fails at runtime with UnsatisfiedLinkError, which is the worst way to learn it. R8 keep rules for JNA and the bindings are in for the same reason — that failure would otherwise appear only in a minified release. The UI is a working board, not a debug screen: capture field, note list, empty state, error banner, and an honest failure screen for a store that won't open. Rules 23/24 — a surface ships at quality from the first commit. Capture uses the IME action key because the north star is a thought captured in under a second, and leaves the title empty so the core derives it from the first body line. Every core call runs on Dispatchers.IO: they are blocking FFI into synchronous SQLite, and running them on the main thread is exactly the jank going native was meant to avoid. The launcher icon reuses frontend/public/icon-maskable-512.png as an adaptive foreground on the brand #F5C518 — the same asset and colour the web app already ships, so the three surfaces wear one face. No signing config. A release keystore that has passed through an agent session or shell history is compromised by construction (task 2136); it has to be generated by the operator and reach CI only as a secret. CI builds debug. CI can only prove this BUILDS — a Linux runner cannot execute an APK, so feel and on-device correctness remain an operator pass on an emulator. Scribe #2739.

bvandeusenandClaude Opus 5	f90b9203a7	android: bind the core to Kotlin through uniffi (M12 step 4) ... `android/ffi` is to Android what `desktop/src-tauri/src/commands/` is to the desktop: a shim over the shared core holding no logic of its own. Third workspace member, so the desktop lane's `cargo clippy --all-targets` compiles and lints it — which until the Android lane lands (step 5) is the only thing that does. Three decisions worth stating. MIRRORED RECORDS, NOT DERIVES ON THE CORE. The core's model structs are serde shapes contracted with the shared Vue frontend, and one of them holds a serde_json::Value, which has no uniffi representation. Hanging uniffi derives on them would couple two unrelated consumers to one definition. The cost of mirroring is drift — an Android client quietly missing a field the desktop gained — so every conversion destructures the core struct exhaustively. Add a field to core::local::models::Note and this crate stops compiling until Android is told what to do with it. NoteEdit IS A LIST, NOT A STRUCT OF NULLABLE FIELDS. The store's patch format distinguishes three states: leave alone, set, and clear to null. Kotlin cannot express the third with a nullable field — `title = null` in a data class is indistinguishable from `title` unset — so the editor could never clear a title. Explicit Clear* variants say it out loud and give Kotlin a sealed class. ASYNC IS TOKIO-BACKED, AND CANCELLATION ALREADY WORKED. Exported async methods become Kotlin suspend functions. When a coroutine is cancelled uniffi drops the future, and no async path in the core holds the store lock across an await — a std MutexGuard isn't Send, so the compiler has been enforcing that all along. A cancelled sync leaves the store consistent and simply hasn't stamped last_sync_at, which is only written after both halves of a cycle succeed. Also here: * core gains Db::conn(). Every consumer was writing `db.0.lock().map_err(|e| e.to_string())?` by hand, and worse, any helper returning the guard had to NAME rusqlite::Connection — which would have made rusqlite a dependency of a layer whose whole point is not knowing what the store is made of. Same trap as the update.rs test module in step 1. * The uniffi `cli` feature is gated behind our own `bindgen` feature. It drags in clap, askama and goblin for a three-line binary, and the desktop lane should not compile a code generator it never runs. * The bindgen binary lives in this workspace on purpose: generated bindings and the linked uniffi runtime are two halves of one ABI, and compiling the generator against the same dependency keeps them in step by construction. That is why ci-rust-android ships no uniffi-bindgen. Tests cover the round trip the Android skeleton needs (open a store in a directory that does not exist yet, write a note, read it back), that a body-only note still has a display_title, that set and clear are genuinely different edits, and that an unlinked app reports NotLinked rather than an error. Known and deliberate: the workspace sets panic = "abort", so a panic crossing the FFI aborts instead of arriving in Kotlin as an exception. Same behaviour the desktop already has; noted in the crate header rather than silently changed. Scribe #2733.
