Give the phone both pickers, and settle who signs the APK
The files screen could browse a remote and delete on it, and that was all: there is no browsable local filesystem on Android for a second pane to show, so the gesture the desktop is built around — choose on the left, press the arrow — has nothing to stand on. What replaces it is the platform's own two pickers. ADD FILES is ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT, so a document is pointed at wherever it lives and goes to the directory showing; SAVE FILE is ACTION_CREATE_DOCUMENT for the selected row. Both stage through the application's cache, and that copy is a requirement rather than a shortcut. android-port.md predicted a picked document would be a third IRemoteFileStore beside SFTP and S3; it cannot be. FileTransferQueue seeks, because an upload resumes from the byte the last attempt reached, and a content:// URI has no path behind it, no length worth trusting, no promised seek and no grant that survives the document being edited underneath it. Copying first costs one class in the head and nothing at all in the shared layers, where the alternative was every resume rule rewritten around a stream that cannot rewind. The copy is deleted when the transfer completes, kept while it is stopped so RESUME still has something to read, and swept at the next launch — which is the one moment emptying that directory is provably safe, since nothing has queued anything yet. Coming out had a decision going in did not: when to ask where it goes. The save picker is raised before the transfer, so the download runs into the same staging directory and hands its bytes to a callback the head supplied, held against the transfer id so a RETRY still lands where the person pointed. Asking afterwards would put the picker minutes from the button that caused it and, on a phone, usually while the application is backgrounded and Android will not show one at all. The cost is that the picker creates its file when it is dismissed, so a download that then fails leaves an empty one there; that is said on the screen, in the README and in the manual checks rather than left to be discovered. A delivery that fails keeps the staged bytes for the sweep instead of throwing away the one copy of something just fetched over somebody's network. The foreground service counts transfers now, which is the half of it that matters most here: a shell survives backgrounding because somebody is looking at it, and an upload has to survive precisely when nobody is. Queued counts as active, so putting five files in and locking the phone moves five files. The seam was built for this and wired to () => 0 because nothing could fill the queue. Alongside it, ADR 0010 answers the second question android-port.md left open, and it had to be answered before the first release rather than at upload time: a new Play app must use App Bundles and therefore Play App Signing, and an installed app can only be updated by a package signed with the same key, so the first release picks an identity for good. The project holds the key, offline and never in CI — the workflow's package step now says so where somebody would break it — and a DodoSSH deployment never serves the client, because a download link on your own server hands the binary that holds the plaintext to the party the whole threat model is about. The README's M1 gap note was stale in both halves and is replaced by what is actually true: credentials have an editor and a REMEMBER tick, and the device key registers into the TPM under a CNG policy that makes the consent dialog a condition of using it. What is left is the floor rather than a gap — no TPM, or no Windows, means the passphrase on every launch.

# ADR 0010 — Distributing the Android client, and who holds the release key
|
||||
|
||||
- Status: accepted
|
||||
- Date: 2026-08-03
|
||||
- Builds on: [ADR 0001](0001-e2ee-trust-model.md)
|
||||
- Settles: the second open question in [`docs/android-port.md`](../android-port.md#still-open)
|
||||
|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
[ADR 0001](0001-e2ee-trust-model.md) ends on the hole it cannot close with cryptography: **an operator
|
||||
who wants the secrets attacks the client, not the crypto**, and what that costs is *release signing with
|
||||
a key not held by the server*, and eventually reproducible builds. Until now that sentence had nothing
|
||||
to bind to. The desktop head is not packaged at all — packaging is M4 — and the Android head is a debug
|
||||
artefact: CI runs `-t:SignAndroidPackage` with no keystore, so it is signed with the debug key .NET for
|
||||
Android falls back to when `AndroidKeyStore` is false, and that APK is a build check rather than
|
||||
something anyone installs.
|
||||
|
||||
The first release changes that, and it does so **irreversibly**, which is why this is decided here
|
||||
rather than at upload time. Two Android facts make it a one-way door:
|
||||
|
||||
- **An installed app can only be updated by a package signed with the same key.** The signing key is
|
||||
the app's identity for its whole life; changing it means every existing user uninstalls first, losing
|
||||
their local cache and re-enrolling. (v3 signature rotation exists, but the lineage has to be created
|
||||
*before* it is needed, by the key it is rotating away from.)
|
||||
- **A new app on Google Play must ship as an App Bundle, which means Play App Signing**, so Google
|
||||
generates and holds the key that signs what users install; the developer holds an upload key only.
|
||||
There is no un-enrolling. For an app that already exists outside Play, the only way to keep one
|
||||
package id across both channels is to *hand Google the existing key*.
|
||||
|
||||
So "publish on Play" and "hold our own key" are not two settings. They are two package identities, and
|
||||
the first release picks one.
|
||||
|
||||
The third party changes but the shape does not: **whoever can sign an update can ship one person a
|
||||
build that copies the passphrase.** The vault's encryption is irrelevant to that attack — the client is
|
||||
where the plaintext is, by construction (ADR 0001, `Connect` cannot be a security boundary). So this ADR
|
||||
is about *which* parties are in that position, not about removing them, and there are three candidates:
|
||||
the deployment operator, DodoTech, and Google.
|
||||
|
||||
## Decision
|
||||
|
||||
**DodoTech holds the release key, the deployment never serves the client, and Play is a separate
|
||||
decision that has not been taken.**
|
||||
|
||||
1. **One release key, held by the project, kept offline, and never in CI.** Release signing is a
|
||||
deliberate manual step on a machine that is not a runner. CI keeps doing exactly what it does now —
|
||||
packaging with the debug key to catch link-time failures — and must never gain a keystore secret or
|
||||
an `AndroidKeyStore=true`. A signing key in CI is a key held by whoever can push a workflow file,
|
||||
which for a public repository is a wider set than it looks.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **The APK is published on the project's own release page, and a DodoSSH deployment never distributes
|
||||
it.** This is the refusal that carries the security content, and it is the one a self-hosted product
|
||||
gets wrong by default: a "download the app" link on your own server is convenient, obvious, and hands
|
||||
the client binary to the exact party ADR 0001 models as the adversary. The operator may tell people
|
||||
where to get it. They may not be the place it comes from.
|
||||
|
||||
The same rule reaches the update path. A version check pointed at the deployment lets the operator
|
||||
pin a chosen user to a known-vulnerable build by withholding the answer — a weaker attack than
|
||||
signing one, and available without any key at all. If an update check is ever added it points at the
|
||||
project's domain, and the first release simply has none: the release page is the channel and the
|
||||
README says so.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Play App Signing is not entered, and cannot be entered by accident.** Not because Google is a worse
|
||||
custodian than DodoTech — on the mechanics it is a better one, since the key lives in Google's
|
||||
infrastructure rather than on a laptop, and the reach and auto-update story is not close. It is
|
||||
declined because of what it costs *this* product specifically: the buyers named in ADR 0001 are teams
|
||||
who refuse to put infrastructure credentials in a SaaS, and telling them the client that holds their
|
||||
plaintext is signed by a key the vendor cannot see is the same answer they already rejected, one
|
||||
layer down. A targeted signed build compelled by a lawful order or produced from a compromised
|
||||
console account is the archetype of the attack ADR 0001 calls the largest practical hole.
|
||||
|
||||
Deferring is cheap and reversing is not, so the default falls the deferrable way. Revisiting is a
|
||||
second ADR, and it has two honest exits: hand Google the existing key and keep one identity, or take
|
||||
a distinct package id and accept two apps. Both are worse decisions to discover than to take.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Reproducible builds are the goal that makes all of the above matter less, and they are not
|
||||
achievable today.** A build a third party can reproduce from source turns the signing key from a
|
||||
trusted authority into a convenience — anyone can check that the published APK is the published
|
||||
source. .NET for Android is not there: dex output, AOT images and archive timestamps are not
|
||||
bit-reproducible across machines in practice. It stays the standing goal ADR 0001 names, recorded
|
||||
here as the thing that would let point 3 be reconsidered on the merits rather than on custody.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **F-Droid is not a channel.** Its build server compiles from source and signs with its own key, which
|
||||
would be a genuinely better transparency story — but it has no support for a .NET workload plus an
|
||||
Android SDK toolchain, and this head needs both. Not refused; unavailable.
|
||||
|
||||
## Consequences
|
||||
|
||||
**The reach cost is real and should not be talked down.** Installing means enabling installation from
|
||||
the browser or file manager, per source, on Android 8 and later — a permission the platform frames as
|
||||
dangerous, correctly. There is no discovery, no automatic update, and no Play channel for a corporate
|
||||
MDM to deploy from, which for a product sold to teams is the sharpest edge of this decision. What
|
||||
partially answers it is that this client is installed by people who already run their own identity
|
||||
provider and their own vault server; sideloading is not the strangest thing they will do that week.
|
||||
|
||||
**The key becomes a single point of failure with no recovery.** Losing it means existing installs can
|
||||
never be updated again — not a bad update, *no* update — and the only way out is a new package id and a
|
||||
manual migration. It is therefore backed up offline in more than one place, and a v3 rotation lineage is
|
||||
created at the first release rather than at the first emergency, because a lineage can only be signed by
|
||||
the key it replaces.
|
||||
|
||||
**The attack ADR 0001 names is narrowed, not removed.** DodoTech can still ship one user a malicious
|
||||
build. What changes is that the deployment operator — the party the threat model is actually about, and
|
||||
the one with a motive to read their own team's credentials — cannot, and that a compelled or breached
|
||||
third-party store is not in the path either. That is the whole of what this decision buys, and it is
|
||||
worth stating at that size rather than larger.
|
||||
|
||||
**M4's desktop packaging inherits rule 2 and not the rest.** Windows and macOS have no equivalent of
|
||||
Play App Signing in the mandatory sense: Authenticode and Developer ID both leave the private key with
|
||||
the developer, and Apple's notarization is a scan rather than a signature over the shipped binary. The
|
||||
custody question is therefore easy there; the "not served by the deployment" rule is the part that
|
||||
carries over, and it carries over unchanged.
|
||||
|
||||
## Rejected
|
||||
|
||||
- **Play as the primary channel, sideloading as the fallback.** This is the arrangement most Android
|
||||
products land on, and it does not survive contact with rule 2's reasoning: it is the same shape —
|
||||
the binary that holds the plaintext arriving through a party who can be compelled — with a larger and
|
||||
better-resourced party in the middle. Better mechanics, same class.
|
||||
- **Shipping the APK from the DodoSSH server it will talk to**, so a new phone gets the client from the
|
||||
deployment it is enrolling against. Genuinely the nicest onboarding available, and it makes the
|
||||
operator the distributor of the client that holds their team's credentials. Refused outright, and
|
||||
named here because it will be proposed again.
|
||||
- **A release key held by CI so tagging cuts a release.** The convenience is the point of CI and the
|
||||
key is the point of this ADR; where they collide the key wins. Signing an artefact is one command, run
|
||||
rarely, by a person.

the copy being made on the interface thread — the whole reason `CopyInAsync` leaves it.
|
||||
|
||||
### 14.3 The queue is bounded, and the buttons stay reachable
|
||||
|
||||
Queue five or six files at once, on a small phone if there is one.
|
||||
|
||||
**Pass:** the queue scrolls inside its own region and **ADD FILES**, **DELETE** and **CLOSE** are all still
|
||||
on screen. Every button is a thumb's size.
|
||||
|
||||
**Failure means:** buttons pushed off the bottom is the `MaxHeight` gone from the queue's scroller, and it
|
||||
makes the screen unusable exactly when somebody has queued the most work.
|
||||
|
||||
### 14.4 A stopped upload resumes rather than starting again
|
||||
|
||||
Start a large upload, press **STOP** part way, then press **RESUME**.
|
||||
|
||||
**Pass:** it carries on from roughly where it stopped rather than from zero — the progress text is the thing
|
||||
to read.
|
||||
|
||||
**Failure means:** restarting from zero means the staged copy was deleted at the stop, which is precisely
|
||||
what `QueueStagedUploads` does not do and why it does not. A failure saying the file cannot be found is the
|
||||
same bug, one step further along.
|
||||
|
||||
### 14.5 The copies do not accumulate · **the one nothing else would catch**
|
||||
|
||||
Note the app's storage in Android Settings → Apps → DodoSSH → Storage. Upload a large file, let it finish,
|
||||
and look again. Then stop an upload part way, leave it stopped, force-stop the app and relaunch it.
|
||||
|
||||
**Pass:** storage returns to about what it was after the successful upload — the copy is deleted the moment
|
||||
the transfer completes. After the stopped one, the cache is bigger while the app stays open (the copy is
|
||||
being kept for RESUME) and back to its old size after the relaunch, which is `DocumentStaging.Sweep`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Failure means:** growth after a successful upload is `ReleaseStaged` not firing, and every file sent
|
||||
leaves a second copy on the phone until Android reclaims the cache. Growth that survives a relaunch is the
|
||||
sweep not running.
|
||||
|
||||
### 14.6 The notification is up while it transfers, and gone afterwards
|
||||
|
||||
Queue several files in each direction, put the phone to sleep with the screen off, and wait.
|
||||
|
||||
**Pass:** the foreground notification is up, the transfers finish while the screen is off, and the
|
||||
notification goes away when the last one does — with no shell open. With a shell open it stays, because that
|
||||
is what it was already for.
|
||||
|
||||
**Failure means:** an upload that stalls with the screen off is the count not reaching
|
||||
`SessionForegroundService`, and Android has stopped the process mid-transfer. A notification left up
|
||||
afterwards is `ActivityChanged` not being subscribed — the other end of the same wire.
|
||||
|
||||
### 14.7 SAVE FILE writes where you pointed it, and the file opens
|
||||
|
||||
Select a file on the host — something with a viewer, an image or a PDF — press **SAVE FILE**, and put it
|
||||
somewhere reachable: Downloads, or a folder in Drive. When the transfer finishes, open it from the phone's
|
||||
own Files app.
|
||||
|
||||
**Pass:** the status line says it was saved, the file is where the picker was pointed under the name shown
|
||||
there, and it opens with the right contents. The queue row says DONE.
|
||||
|
||||
**Failure means:** a row that says DONE with nothing at the destination is `DeliverAsync` never running —
|
||||
the delivery is registered per transfer id, and losing it makes the download look like a success while the
|
||||
bytes sit in a cache nobody can reach. A file that is there but empty or truncated is the copy out, not the
|
||||
transfer: check the `SetLength(0)` and that the write stream is being disposed before the status is written.
|
||||
|
||||
### 14.8 The button is dead until a file is chosen, and refuses a directory
|
||||
|
||||
With nothing selected, look at **SAVE FILE**. Then select a directory row.
|
||||
|
||||
**Pass:** disabled in both cases — it needs a connected remote and a selected *file*, which is the desktop's
|
||||
own `CanDownload`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Failure means:** an enabled button over a directory reaches `QueueDeliveredDownload`'s refusal, which is
|
||||
the right answer arriving too late: the save picker has already created an empty file, so the person is left
|
||||
with a file they did not want and a message saying nothing happened.
|
||||
|
||||
### 14.9 A download that fails leaves the empty file it warned about
|
||||
|
||||
Point SAVE FILE at a destination for a large file, then break the transfer — turn off Wi-Fi and mobile data
|
||||
while it runs.
|
||||
|
||||
**Pass:** the row goes to FAILED with the reason, the status line does not claim it was saved, and there is
|
||||
an empty file at the destination. Reconnect, press **RETRY**, and the same destination fills in — the
|
||||
delivery survives the failure because it is held against the transfer rather than the attempt.
|
||||
|
||||
**Failure means:** a retry that succeeds but leaves the destination empty is the delivery having been
|
||||
dropped on the failure. An error saying the staged file is missing is the copy having been deleted at the
|
||||
stop, which is what `QueueDeliveredDownload` documents it does not do.
