jaap-jan 5b32c76c95 Android: the redesign — a Vaults tab with hosts, keychain and snippets, card lists, a keychain that can add, and files that act on what is chosen
ci / build and test (push) Successful in 3m49s
ci / android head (push) Successful in 3m55s
ci / api image (push) Successful in 6s
ci / desktop nightly (push) Successful in 1m22s
The bottom bar is Vaults · Connections · Settings, drawn as Material 3 pills with icons from the embedded
Material font and a count of open sessions on Connections, which replaces the strip of shells above the
bar. Vaults is the open vault: its header carries the name as a switch to the vaults screen, the sync
light and a lock icon, and a Hosts · Keychain · Snippets segmented control sits under it. The keychain
and snippets move there from Settings (IsVaultSurface lights the tab; IsMoreSurface no longer lists
them), and back from either goes to the hosts. Settings becomes an account card and grouped sections:
security, vaults and history, files, this app.

Host rows are cards with a terminal tile and the live dot on its corner. The connect sheet names the
host and its address, labels its box, focuses it as it opens, reveals the password on request, and puts
CANCEL left and CONNECT right; every two-button row on the head now confirms on the right. While a
hosts-screen sheet is up the header and bar are dimmed too and a tap on them lowers it, and the bar
stands down while the software keyboard is up.

The keychain gains a floating + and a sheet of the desktop's five adds (generate a key, paste a key, a
password, a bucket, a tag) over the editors VaultViewModel already had, drawn as a full-screen page with
labels above the boxes; a chosen item gets EDIT and COPY PUBLIC KEY beside MOVE and DELETE. Snippets get
a floating + and cards that say RUNS or INSERTS. Files trade the seven-button block for a selection bar
(save, and a ⋮ sheet with rename, move, permissions and a red delete), folder and file tiles, an upload
button, and header actions for a terminal on the same host, refresh and close; a terminal's + sheet
opens SFTP on that terminal's own host.

The theme takes the audit's visual findings: Fluent's ClipToBounds is cleared on glowing buttons so the
glow is no longer cut to a square (the desktop's Button.accent too), prose is Montserrat with mono kept
for addresses and code, disabled secondary buttons are quieter than enabled ones, Fluent's dropdown,
checkbox, switch, focus and selection brushes come from the palette, touch no longer leaves hover fills
behind, and lists, nav entries and icon buttons carry names for TalkBack.

Builds clean; checked on the emulator end to end: unlock, the three vault views, adding and deleting a
password, connecting through the new sheet, files on the terminal's host with the selection bar and
its sheet. App tests 727 of 733 pass with 5 skipped; the one failure, TheCountsAPhoneShows_
FollowEveryForwardsState, passes three runs of three alone and is untouched here. Layout tests pass.

jaap-janandClaude Opus 5 c270f3fe39 Import a Hetzner Cloud project's servers, and forget the token that read it
ci / build and test (push) Successful in 3m18s
ci / android head (push) Successful in 3m54s
ci / api image (push) Successful in 30s
ci / desktop nightly (push) Successful in 2m10s
An estate on Hetzner is already described somewhere: the project lists every
server, its addresses, its plan and where it runs. Getting that into a keychain
meant copying forty addresses out of a browser by hand, which is the same work
the ssh_config importer exists to remove for the machines described in a file.

◆ A WIZARD RATHER THAN A SCREEN, AND THE DIFFERENCE IS WHAT EACH STEP COSTS.

ImportScreen reads a file that is already on this machine, so it scans on open
and shows a list. This cannot: it needs a credential that has to be made in
another company's console first, and then it makes a request over the internet.
Those are two moments rather than one, and a screen that mixed the token box in
with the list would ask for the credential again every time somebody came back
to look at the list.

So three steps — token, choose, done — and the first two write nothing. Step two
carries one address choice, one login user and one port for the whole import,
because an estate is reached the same way throughout and a per-server dropdown
would be forty answers to one question.

◆ THE TOKEN IS USED ONCE AND CLEARED, INCLUDING WHEN IT WORKED.

The half worth stating is the success path. Clearing only on failure would leave
a credential capable of listing somebody's whole estate sitting in a text box for
as long as they spend reading forty rows, which is the longest anybody stands on
this screen. Nothing writes it to the vault, to settings or to a log, and
reopening the wizard restarts at step one rather than resuming — a resumed step
two would be a list nothing on screen has the means to refresh, going on looking
current for as long as the application stays open.

Read is the only permission it needs and the note above the box says so: a
Read & Write token would work identically here and would be a credential capable
of deleting the estate, pasted in for no gain. The note also says a token belongs
to one project — there is no API call that will say which, and none that lists
the others — so an account with four projects runs this four times. Without that
sentence the wizard looks like it lost most of the estate.

◆ THE ADDRESS IS A CHOICE, AND TWO OF THE THREE FALL BACK WHERE THE THIRD MUST NOT.

Public IPv4 and public IPv6 fall back to each other: the same machine over the
same internet, so the worst case is a route nobody picked, and the row says which.
Private does not fall back at all. A server on no private network is simply not
importable under that choice — its tickbox is disabled, and neither direction of
the header's tick-all can reach it — because falling back would put an address on
the open internet into a bookmark that was asked to stay off it.

IPv6 needs saying twice over. Hetzner routes a whole /64 and the API reports the
network, which nothing can dial; the address a stock image answers on is the
first one in it. That is a convention of Hetzner's own images rather than a fact
the API stated, so every use of it carries a warning on the row and in the stored
note, and it is computed by setting the low byte rather than by string surgery on
the prefix. It is not an edge case either — IPv4 is billed separately now and a
project built since then can be entirely IPv6-only.

◆ NOTHING IMPORTED HERE AUTHENTICATES, AND THAT IS SAID BEFORE THE BUTTON.

Hetzner has never held the private half of an SSH key. The API will name a
project's keys and hand over their public halves; there is no private half to
bring. So every host arrives bound to nothing and asks for a password until
somebody points it at a key already in the keychain — the same shape an
ssh_config import has with its key tick off, and stated above the button on the
same reasoning: somebody who is not told will conclude the import was broken.

What the note keeps is what does not go stale — the id, the plan, the location,
the image, the labels. The power state is a column and never a note: "running"
about a machine somebody switched off last March is worse than no note.

◆ WHERE IT LIVES: TWO FLAGS OVER ONE CONTENT COLUMN.

Drawn over the Preferences page inside settings mode exactly as ImportScreen is,
with SettingsNav unmoved and the titlebar offering "Back to preferences".
IsHetznerImportOpen is a second flag rather than a "which importer" enum, because
they are two independent facts about the content column and a single value would
need a "neither" member IsImportOpen already expresses; what keeps them from both
being true is that every path that opens one closes the other. The titlebar and
the Preferences page ask IsImporterOpen, which is written against both.

Preferences grows a second importer row beside the first rather than one row that
asks "from where?", which would put a question in front of the far more common
answer.

◆ WHAT IS NOT HERE.

Hetzner's Robot — dedicated servers and Storage Boxes — is a different API behind
a different credential, and nothing in this touches it. Said on the Preferences
row and on the token step rather than left to be discovered by an account that
has both.

And there is no phone layout. This one would work on Android, unlike the
ssh_config importer beside it: it is a token and a network request, the view
model is shared already, and scoped storage has nothing to do with it. What is
missing is a screen — the desktop draws a five-column table, and the phone
version of that is a different layout rather than the same one narrower. Recorded
in android-port.md and on the phone's own Preferences screen, because the note
there previously read as though no import of any kind could work.

◆ TESTS, AND WHAT IS LEFT FOR A PERSON.

HetznerCloudClientTests is 16 cases over the shapes the API actually returns,
against a stubbed HttpMessageHandler: paging followed, the token in a header and
never a query string, a refused token distinguished from a fault at Hetzner's
end, a token with a line break refused before anything is sent, the /64, the
private-network asymmetry, and a server the API described without a name.

ShellFlowTests.Hetzner.cs is 11 more against this fixture's real vault, real
cache and real server — split into a file of its own, as FakeVaultServer keeps
its team endpoints. What they establish beyond the reader's own suite is the half
it cannot reach: that reading stores nothing, that importing goes through the
ordinary create-and-push path and lands on the server with nothing pressing Sync,
that a server the keychain already has arrives unticked, and that the token does
not outlive the request.

Two layout cases measure both steps against the same content budget every other
settings page gets, which is also what proves the markup binds to names that
exist.

Manual checks 2.11a–2.11d are what no test in this repository can do, because
there is no account, no token and no network in the ordinary suite: a real
project listed against the real console, a wrong token, the private choice, and
what an imported host does when you connect to it.

jaap-jan b4a6c19ac1 Let the phone replace itself, and give CI a channel it may sign
ci / build and test (push) Successful in 1m53s
ci / android head (push) Failing after 32s
ci / api image (push) Successful in 28s
The Android head had no updater and no release path, and the two are one problem:
Android refuses an update signed by a different key, and CI generates a fresh debug
key in every container. An APK released from a workflow could be installed once and
never updated again — each new one an uninstall, which on this product means losing
the cache, the outbox and the device key.

So there are two channels, and they are two applications because the platform gives
no third option. dev.dodotech.dodossh is cut from a v* tag by a person running
scripts/release-android.ps1 with the key ADR 0011 rule 1 keeps off runners.
dev.dodotech.dodossh.nightly is cut from main by CI and signed with a keystore
committed here in the open — a key everybody has cannot be stolen and grants nothing
by being held, which is why putting it in CI does not touch the rule. Neither can
update the other, by construction. See ADR 0014.

The android job assumed an image with a JDK and an Android SDK on it, which is what
a GitHub runner is and what this project's is not. It now installs a JDK, fetches
Google's command-line tools, accepts the licences and installs API 36 — each a no-op
where it is already satisfied, and each cached by the persistent runner's own disk
rather than by an action that would move a quarter of a gigabyte to rebuild a
directory that never left.

The client reads a small JSON manifest beside the APK, the counterpart of
releases.win.json, and compares Android's versionCode rather than a version name:
that integer is what the platform itself uses to accept or refuse an install, so
comparing anything else would offer updates the phone then rejects. It fetches, and
then asks Android to ask — the system draws its own confirmation, and from API 26
will not draw even that until unknown sources is on for this application.

IUpdateChannel gained ApplyingEndsTheProcess. On Windows applying replaces the files
and restarts, so the shell disposes the vault first and that is what zeroes the keys.
On the phone the install is a request and the answer may be no, so disposing first
would answer "not now" with a locked keychain and every shell closed — a punishment
for declining an update.

Two measured bugs found on the way, both older than this work and both invisible to
a -getProperty check. ApplicationDisplayVersion is read by the Android targets in a
top-level PropertyGroup, so the target setting it from MinVer ran after the only
thing that reads it: every APK ever built here said versionName 1.0.0. And nothing
found so far varies the launcher name per channel — four mechanisms tried, all of
them recorded in platform-flags, none of them reaching the label the launcher shows.
The two channels share an icon name for now and are told apart by package name,
version, and what the preferences screen says.

jaap-jan 50fa6fba38 Let the phone delete a host, and move or remove a group
The desktop gained three things the phone did not follow: moving a group to
another vault, the second question asking whether a group's deletion takes its
hosts with it, and — since long before either — deleting a host at all. What
that left was a head whose v3 + can fill a keychain and whose editors can
correct one, with no way to empty either.

The commands could not simply be bound. DeleteGroup and MoveGroup aim at
GroupTarget, which is the selected card or the open group, and the phone has
neither: its list draws headings, and a heading's selection deliberately bounces
back to the host. Called bare on that head they would have returned having done
nothing — a DELETE that appears to have been pressed and has not. Both now take
the row and fall back to GroupTarget for the desktop's menu, and
ConfirmMoveGroupAsync resolves from the panel's own movingGroupId rather than
from the selection, which is also the honester answer on the desktop: what moves
is the shelf the panel was opened on.

The heading's pencil became a menu. Three icons after a chevron, a name, a vault
badge and a count is what would be left of the name at 360dp, so the ⋯ raises
the add sheet's shape carrying Edit, Move to another vault, a rule, and Delete —
the desktop's card menu, in the one idiom this screen already has. It does not
carry Open: the desktop's grid holds one level of the group tree and this list
holds all of it flattened, so there is nowhere to open a group into.

DELETE under a host sits on a row of its own beneath EDIT and MOVE rather than
beside them. A phone has no hover and no tooltip, so where a thumb lands is the
only thing separating a destructive control from an ordinary one. Both questions
take the controls that asked them — ShowsConnectControls, which is the phone's
half of the rule ShowsHostPaneActions already carries for the desktop's drawer —
so DELETE cannot be pressed a second time underneath its own confirmation.

Preferences gained the running version, and the sentence saying this head does
not replace itself and that no DodoSSH server will ever offer one. It reads
Updates.CurrentVersion off the same view model the desktop's UPDATES section
does, over the null channel that reports itself unsupported.

Nothing was needed for the realtime push: it is composed in ServerConnection,
which both heads use.

Seven tests, all phone-shaped — a group acted on with nothing selected, the menu
waved away leaving nothing armed, the ungrouped heading raising none, and the
bar's three states. The rectangles remain unmeasurable for the reason phase 8
gives; the checks for them are 8.10 to 8.13 and 13.6.

jaap-jan 38d8706784 Give the phone a way to enrol the fingerprint it already unlocks with
ci / android head (push) Failing after 4s
ci / api image (push) Successful in 35s
ci / build and test (push) Successful in 1m36s
The Android device key store, the biometric gate and the lock screen's UNLOCK
WITH FINGERPRINT button have all shipped since this head was written, and none
of them could ever run: that button appears only when a device key exists, and
nothing on the phone could create one. `CanUnlockWithDevice` was false on every
launch of every phone. This is the missing half.

**The offer is on PREFERENCES**, which held a PendingScreen until it had a
setting on it. It is there rather than beside the button it turns on because
registering needs an unlocked keychain and a reachable server — the vault has to
be open to seal the bundle, and the wrap has to reach the account or a phone
somebody has lost could never be revoked. Neither is true on the lock screen.

One card, and exactly one of its three blocks is ever drawn: the offer, the
withdrawal, or the sentence saying this phone has nowhere to keep a key. That is
`CanRegisterDevice` / `CanForgetDevice` / `HasNoDeviceKeyOption`, which are two
flags and not one and its negation for the reason written where they are set —
a phone with no screen lock and a phone already registered are both "cannot
register", and only the second has anything to take back. The withdrawal has no
confirmation, deliberately, and the sentence above it carries what the desktop
puts in a tooltip this head has no room for. `StatusMessage` is on the screen
because it is the only feedback this head has once the system's own dialogue has
gone.

**Two things would have been wrong in the feature the moment it worked.**

`Environment.MachineName` answers `localhost` on Android, and registering names
the device — so every phone would have arrived in the account's device list as
another identical row, on the very screen a lost handset is revoked from.
`PhoneEnvironment.DeviceName` was already written and never called; the shell
now takes it as an optional constructor argument that the desktop does not pass,
and it reaches enrollment, registration and every connection log entry. That was
gap §7 of docs/android-port.md, and it is now closed.

And the status line said "Waiting for Windows…" over an Android biometric
prompt. `GestureWait` picks the sentence from the platform rather than from a
head, unlike the device name beside it: a device name is a fact about one
handset only the head can read, and which dialogue appears is a fact about the
operating system this assembly is running on.

Two tests cover the seam — the injected name reaching the account, and the
default still being this machine's own name — and `FakeVaultServer` records what
each device called itself, because the name is the only part of a registration a
person ever reads. The gesture itself is unreachable from any test process, so
Phase 13 of docs/manual-checks.md carries five checks, including that enrolling
a new fingerprint in Android's own Settings destroys the key. That one is the
property that makes this a fast path rather than a weakening of the passphrase.
