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
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. |

Give the phone a selection instead of a card under the list
A long press on a host raised a connect card over the bottom of the list: a password box, CONNECT, EDIT, MOVE and DELETE. It was the right idea in the wrong place. It covered rows, it had room for five things and never a sixth, and every one of them was about exactly one machine — so filing eleven imported hosts under a group was eleven trips through a form, and there was nowhere to put a sixth action if anybody wanted one. A long press now chooses the host it landed on, and the actions move into a bar across the top of the screen, in the vault header's place rather than beside it. That is where Android has put them since contextual action bars existed, and it is the one strip a list can never grow into — but the real reason for it is that while it is up the screen is unambiguously about the ticked hosts and nothing else, which is what lets the count in the middle of it mean something. Left to right: the cross that leaves the mode, the count, the pencil, and a ⋯ holding Connect, Connect via SFTP, Move to vault, Copy to vault, Change group, Duplicate and Remove. A tap still connects and still raises nothing. Once anything is ticked it ticks and unticks instead, which is what every Android list does and is not merely a convention worth following: a tap that connected while five machines sat ticked would open a terminal on top of a selection somebody was halfway through building. Unticking the last host leaves the mode, so there are two ways out of it and the cross is only one of them. Both gestures now read the row from the element under the finger rather than from the list's selection, and that is a correctness change rather than tidying. A tap on a group heading moves the selection and the view model bounces it straight back to whichever host was chosen before — which answered "a host, or nothing" for free while a tap only ever connected. It stops answering it the moment a tap can tick one: the heading would tick a machine the user was not pointing at, into a set they are about to delete. Three of the seven entries are about one machine and are drawn only for one. A terminal, a file-transfer session and a form each have no reading over six, so they are collapsed rather than refused. The other four read better for a count than without one — it is the reason the set exists — and each of them says afterwards how many hosts it wrote and how many it left alone. Skipping beats refusing the whole run: a selection of eleven with one read-only row would otherwise do nothing at all and then report about the wrong ten. Copy to vault and Duplicate are new, and the difference between them is what each can safely carry. A copy crosses a key boundary, so it drops the group and the tags exactly as a move does — both are items of the vault being left, and a host arriving with either would point at something the destination does not contain, resolvable on the machine that sent it and dangling for everybody else. A duplicate stays in the same keychain, so everything it points at is still there and it keeps both. Change group is the write dragging a card onto a group already makes on the desktop, run over a selection; it refuses one spanning two keychains rather than half-filing it, which is the refusal a drop across that boundary already makes one host at a time. Connect via SFTP is the one action that leaves the vault. Which machine is a decrypted item and so is this object's business; the screen it leads to and the transfers view model behind it are the shell's — so it is an event, on the same division SessionOpened already draws for a shell. The host is re-found in that screen's own copy of the list, because the picker binds to rows in that copy and handing it the vault's object would select nothing. What is left of the card is the password box, and only because it had nowhere else to go: a host that authenticates with a typed password cannot be reached by a tap alone. That tap now raises a sheet rather than the bar, and the difference is that a sheet is up only while a question is on screen — the bar was raised by a long press and stayed, so it was a password box sitting over the list whether or not anything was being asked. Dismissing it empties the box, which is not tidiness either: a secret left behind would satisfy the emptiness check that decides whether to raise the sheet at all, so the next tap would dial with somebody else's password. The pencil moving into that bar takes the host editor with it. It was a card in the list's own row, under the search box and the sync line — twenty controls sharing a screen with two rows of chrome about the list it had replaced. It is a page now, and PhoneShell stands all four of its rows down for it, which is what "opens with all the options" means at 360dp. That needed a second subscription in that control: two of its flags are questions about the vault rather than about the shell, and the shell does not forward the vault's notifications. The ticks are held as entity ids rather than as rows, and written back onto the rows after every reload. Every row object in the list is replaced on every filter keystroke and every synchronisation pass, so a set of rows would empty itself once a minute under somebody choosing what to do with eleven machines. Ids that no longer resolve are dropped, so a colleague's deletion arriving mid-selection leaves a count that matches what is on screen. One caller had to change with it. ConnectToRecent opened the pane about a host, which was the desktop's drawer and the phone's card; the phone's answer is now a tick, and nothing on that list means "selected" any more — so arriving with the host merely selected would be arriving at a screen with nothing to press. Both are raised together, and the one the head in front of the user does not draw is inert. |

Look the host list up by name, rather than off a field that is never assigned
Nightly 0.0.0-alpha.0.133 died before its first frame. The long press I added attached itself in HostsScreen's constructor through the field the Avalonia name generator declares for `x:Name` — and that field is assigned by the generated InitializeComponent, which no view in this repository calls. Every one of them loads its XAML directly. So the field compiles, resolves in the editor, and is null at run time; PhoneShell builds this control on the way up, so the NullReferenceException took the launch rather than the hosts screen. PhoneShell and TerminalScreen both use FindControl, and PhoneShell carries a <remarks> saying exactly this and naming exactly this consequence. I read neither and wrote the field. So the rule is in docs/platform-flags.md now as well. A comment on the control that already got it right is not where somebody writing a new one is looking, which is the whole of why two correct examples and one warning were not enough. And phase 8 opens with "it launches at all". Nothing on this head is covered by a test — no test project, no headless surface — so a view that throws while being built takes the launch with it and no gate anywhere says so. Thirty seconds, and it would have caught this one before it was published. |

Let a tap on the phone's host list mean connect
Choosing a machine raised the connect bar over the bottom of the list: a password box, CONNECT, EDIT, MOVE and DELETE. Five controls in the way of the one thing a tap on a machine's name obviously means. So the gestures split. A tap connects. A long press raises the bar, with all five. The pencil in the phone's header — its only persistent chrome — edits whichever host is chosen, which is the one of the five common enough to be worth a control that is always in the same place. The flag doing it is the desktop's own IsHostPaneOpen rather than a second one. That head made exactly this move when a selection stopped opening its drawer, and the question both are asking is "has somebody asked about this host" — answering it twice is how two heads come to disagree about what a selection means. One tap cannot finish: a host that authenticates with a typed password has nowhere on a list to be given one. That tap raises the bar with the box in it and says so, and a second tap with the box filled in connects. The branch is in the view model rather than in the head, because "can this machine be reached without asking for anything" is the same question the bar's own password box answers, and a copy of it in a view would be a second reading of a binding chain that has one. Two mechanics worth knowing. Avalonia raises Tapped on release whatever the press lasted, so a long press would open the bar and then connect — one touch firing both gestures — which is why HostsScreen tracks the hold and swallows the tap it precedes. And Holding only fires once IsHoldingEnabled is set, so that and the handler are attached together rather than one in markup and one in code. ConnectToRecent now opens the pane rather than selecting the row. On the phone it has to: a selection alone raises nothing now, so going back to a recent machine would land on a screen with nothing to press. |

Give the phone the rest of its screens, and a way in
All seven screens of the design, plus the two it does not draw because it starts at an enrolled phone: naming a server, and choosing a passphrase. The five states docs/android-port.md worried about losing at 360dp are all here and none of them softened. The changed-key refusal is a full-screen panel rather than a bottom sheet, because a sheet is swipe-to-dismiss by convention and that screen must have no way forward. The recovery code raises FLAG_SECURE for its own state and lowers it afterwards, so the sentence about screenshots is true rather than decorative. The delete confirmations keep their counts and replace the row in place. Signing in works, and the seam it needed is worth more than the implementation: IAuthorizationCallback now sits between OidcClient and the loopback listener, so the two heads differ in where the response arrives and in nothing else. PKCE, the state check, discovery, the token exchange and the key binding stay one implementation — a second OIDC client would be a second place for a security bug to live. The phone registers a private-use scheme with the system rather than binding a loopback port, which on a shared device any other app can do first. The accessory key row needed TerminalWorkspace.SendInputAsync: ordinary typing goes from the renderer straight down the socket, and there was no way in for the keys a software keyboard does not have. Ctrl latches, because one thumb cannot chord, and the latch is drawn — a modifier that is on and does not look on is how somebody sends ^L to a database prompt believing they typed an l. 597 client tests green, including two new ones for the input path and one for the terminal surface command. Nothing has run on a device. |
