Stop the docs claiming absences that have since been built
An audit of README.md, the seven docs and the fourteen ADRs against the code, looking for what is described as absent or planned. Most of it held. What did not is here, and it clusters: every stale claim but one is downstream of the settings file arriving without this document noticing. design-import-gaps said the client has no preferences store and writes exactly two files. It writes three — ClientSettings is in settings.json beside the cache — and two preferences are saved through it. From that one error followed four more: the terminal font size row said "fixed at the renderer's 13px" when it has been 8 to 32 from a screen and three chords for some time; the transfer-resume row and the per-host last directory row both blamed a store that now exists, when what they actually want is a table and a scalar file is the wrong shape for one; and the Preferences table asserted no preference could be saved at all. It also said TerminalServerOpcode has four values and none carries an option. It has eight, and one of them is FontSize — which is the interesting part rather than a counting error, because that opcode is the proof that the frame these rows say is missing can be built. The rows now say what each one would actually take, which for three of the four is a setting, an opcode and a control, and for the Backspace row is a reason: which byte backspace sends is a fact about the remote's stty, so a client-side switch fixes a mismatch by hiding it. THE SAME TWO ERRORS WERE SHIPPED IN THE INTERFACE. The preferences screen carries a NOT BUILT YET list, so that what the screen does not do is as legible as what it does — and it said terminal size was hard-coded a hundred lines below a working size control, and said there is one release channel a month after the nightly shipped. A list of absences is only worth having if it is true, and a screen contradicting itself in the same scroll is worse than no list. Both lines are corrected rather than removed: the first now says which three of the four are genuinely hard-coded, and the second says what is actually missing, which is a way to change channel from inside the application rather than by installing the other build. docs/adding-hosts-on-the-phone.md is deleted. It was a work plan whose own header says "Status: built. All six steps." — nothing links to it, and the decisions it records are in the code it produced, including the one it is proudest of: HostSecret.AsksForPassword carries its own remark on why naming neither binding had to stop meaning "ask me". What was left was step ordering and per-test instructions for work that shipped. Git keeps it. crypto.md is deliberately untouched. It is normative and frozen, and its claims are about the DSH1 format rather than about this build — including the one that reads oddly next to the code, that a passphrase is one of four ways to open a vault. Under the spec it is. What is missing is a statement about what this build can open, and that belongs beside the spec rather than inside it; see docs/unlocking-without-the-passphrase.md. VERIFIED. Build clean, 112 layout tests, 354 app tests. The preferences screen is measured by the layout suite, so the longer copy is held inside the window at the minimum size rather than assumed to fit. |

Let the desktop client replace itself, and give the repository one version
Packaging for Windows, and the updater that only exists once something is
packaged. Velopack, win-x64, fed from the project's own forge — never from the
deployment a client signs in to, which is ADR 0011 rule 2 carried over
unchanged and is why the feed address is a constant in the code rather than a
setting. See docs/adr/0012-desktop-distribution-and-updates.md.
**Nothing is ever installed while somebody is using it.** A newer build is found
on a six-hourly pass, downloaded in the background, and then waits — for a
restart the user presses, or for the next launch they were going to do anyway.
That is a policy rather than caution: this application argues at length that
locking keeps shells running, because a lock that destroyed work would stop
being used, and a restart does not keep them. Having taught that, it owes the
user the choice at the one moment it stops being true, and the sentence saying
so counts the shells it would close.
**The version is now derived from the v* tag**, by MinVer, for everything. There
was no version before this — no property anywhere, so every assembly reported
the SDK's 1.0.0 and the API served that string as its serverVersion to every
client that asked. The tag was already the version of record for the container
image; this makes it the version of record full stop. MinVer's failure mode is
answering plausibly rather than failing, and here a wrong version is a client
that never updates, so it is guarded twice: fetch-depth 0 on every checkout, and
a step that fails a tag build when the tag and the computed version disagree.
**The pack id is DodoSSH.Desktop and not DodoSSH**, which is the one decision
here that would have destroyed data. Velopack installs to %LOCALAPPDATA%\<packId>
and removes that whole directory on uninstall, and %LOCALAPPDATA%\DodoSSH is
where ClientPaths keeps the encrypted cache, the outbox of changes not yet
pushed, and the device key. The obvious id would have had the uninstaller
silently delete work the server has never seen — the thing the application
refuses to do without a counted confirmation. Velopack's own advice to move user
data to roaming %APPDATA% is declined for the reason ClientPaths already gives.
**Releases are cut by a person, and CI gains no job that could.** The tempting
argument is that a forge write token is not a signing key. It does not survive
contact with what the token does: Velopack clients trust their feed and do not
verify a package signature when they apply one, so whoever can write a release
can ship an update every install runs. That is the capability ADR 0011 rule 1
puts on a machine which is not a runner, reached through a different door. The
mechanical objection — vpk needs Windows and the runners are Linux — is the
smaller of the two and is recorded beside it, because somebody will fix one and
believe they are done.
Unsigned for now, deliberately and with the cost stated where a user reads it:
SmartScreen warns once per person, on Setup.exe, because Mark-of-the-Web is
applied by the browser that downloaded it. In-app updates are fetched by the
application and applied from a local file, and never trip it.
The banner is a fourth row of the window rather than an overlay. Anything drawn
in the terminal's rectangle is sliced by the native child window that composites
above it — the defect this window has shipped once — and a sibling row is the
arrangement TitleBar and StatusBar already prove works.
----
Three defects surfaced on the way, none of them in the feature being built.
**A settings key absent from the file came back as the CLR default, not the
declared one.** The JSON source generator builds a record through a synthesised
parameterised constructor and assigns every property from its argument array, so
a property initializer runs and is then overwritten by a default for anything the
file did not contain. A settings.json of {} read back a font size of 0, clamped
up to the 8px floor rather than the 13px the renderer draws at. It could not bite
while there was one setting, because that setting was written on every save and
so was never absent; adding a second would have turned automatic update checks
off for every existing profile, silently, the opposite of the documented default.
Reflection-based deserialisation of the same JSON answers correctly, which is why
every way of checking it by hand agrees except the one that ships. The defaults
now live on the constructor parameters, which is the only place the generator
reads them from.
**Declaring a RuntimeIdentifier on the desktop head broke the server's image
build.** It is the obvious way to let a self-contained publish restore under
locked mode, and it writes a net10.0/win-x64 target into the lock file of every
project the head references transitively — including DodoSSH.Contracts and
DodoSSH.Crypto, which the API builds too. The Dockerfile restores those with no
RID and fails NU1004. Found by running docker build rather than by reading. The
RID stays out of the committed state; the two commands that need one ask for it
unlocked, and the release script puts the lock files back.
**A Docker ARG named VERSION silently sets MSBuild's Version.** An ARG is an
environment variable for the rest of the stage, MSBuild reads environment
variables as properties, and property names are case-insensitive. With the
workflow passing main-<short sha> on a main build the publish died with
NETSDK1018 pointing at DodoSSH.Contracts, a project nobody had touched. The build
stage's argument is ASSEMBLY_VERSION now, empty except on a tag build.
All three are in docs/platform-flags.md, which is where the next person will look.
----
Verified: the whole solution builds and restores locked; 289 shell, 93 layout and
54 session tests pass, including the regression test for the settings defect and
a measurement of the banner at the window's minimum width. vpk pack runs end to
end and reports "Verified VelopackApp.Run()" against Program.Main. The API image
builds correctly both as a main build and as a tag build, carrying 1.0.0 and
0.1.0 respectively.
Not verified, and it needs a published release to be: installing, updating and
uninstalling on a real machine. That is Phase 15 of docs/manual-checks.md, and
the pack id and the WebView2 profile fix are reasoned and commented but only
proved by walking it. Two things to watch at the first upload — the reverse
proxy's body-size limit for a 64 MB asset, and whether vpk upload gitea is happy
with Gitea 1.27.1.

Make the vault the thing you share, and ask a host which one it lives in
The teams screen listed teams that owned vaults, so sharing four servers with two
colleagues meant creating a team, then a vault inside it, then wrapping a key.
Two of those three steps are about a concept nobody arrives wanting. The screen
now lists vaults: naming one creates the membership list that carries it, named
after the vault and owned by you, and members, invitations, roles, hand-over and
key holders all hang off the vault they apply to.
Nothing on the server moved. VaultAccessService still resolves a shared vault
through team_membership and every membership call still names a team id — what
went is the requirement that anybody make one. The split the whole design rests
on is untouched and is still what the screen is built around: adding somebody
authorises the server to serve them, and only a machine holding the key can make
the vault readable. ADR 0009 keeps its decision and gains an addendum recording
which half of it a person is now asked about.
The one place the team resurfaces is a membership list carrying several vaults,
which this screen cannot produce and does not hide: the members section says so,
because "adding somebody here adds them there" is precisely the fact a
vault-shaped screen is in a position to conceal.
Two things left the interface and one arrived. Creating a team is gone, and so is
archiving one — it was only ever possible for a team owning no vaults, and a
screen whose rows are vaults has no row for one, so the button would have been
unreachable or always refused. The endpoint is unchanged and the screen states
the limit instead, since a vault cannot be deleted at all. The exception is a
create whose second call failed: cancelling that form archives the membership
list it left behind, which is a deliberate departure from this client's rule
against tidying up on the user's behalf, made because nothing else can reach it.
What arrived is PUT /api/v1/vaults/{id}. Without it the screen loses its only
editing action, since renaming the team behind a vault is invisible to everybody
who was never shown the team. It is gated on PermissionFlags.Admin — the line
UpdateTeamEndpoint already draws, because a name is what everybody in the vault
sees it called rather than part of its contents — and it renames the owning team
with it when that team carries nothing else, so the row an operator reads and the
name a user says cannot drift apart. The slug never moves, for the reason it does
not move on a team rename. The session edits its cached vault row rather than
replacing it with the response, which deliberately carries no wrapped key.
The host editor now asks which vault a host goes into, beside the name, while
adding and only where there is more than one vault to write to. It is a second
picker rather than the keychain screen's reused, and the two selections are
separate on purpose: that one is a standing preference about where new items go,
this is a field of the host in front of you, and binding both to one selection
would mean a click on the other screen could move a half-typed host. An existing
host is not offered it at all rather than offered it disabled — the two vaults
are encrypted under different keys, so moving an item is a delete and a retype.
That forced a fix worth naming. The group picker was built from the active
vault's groups whatever vault the host was being filed into, so a host put in a
shared vault could be filed under a group only its author can resolve — a
colleague would see it filed under nothing, which is the quietest kind of wrong.
Groups are now kept per vault and the picker follows the vault choice.
Two renames, because the pair they would otherwise have made is a bug farm:
ShellScreen.Vault became Keychain and VaultScreen became KeychainScreen, which is
what the rail has always labelled that screen, leaving Vault for one vault's
contents and Vaults for the vaults themselves. The enum values are unchanged;
NavRail.axaml writes them as x:Static literals.
1536 tests pass, seven more than before. Five are new on the server — the rename
endpoint's success, the team it does and does not take with it, the two refusals
and the empty name — and the client suite gains six and folds four together,
having lost the two about archiving a team.

Move SFTP and S3 into the tab strip, and the host list into a card grid
Four asks in one pass over the desktop head, and two of them are furniture moving rather than anything new. THE STRIP IS THE WINDOW'S NOW, not the terminal's. Vaults, SFTP and S3 sit at its head and cannot be closed, and open terminals follow them. SFTP and S3 left the nav rail to get there, which is the one semantic change: they are the two destinations you stay in while something runs, and a rail entry is for somewhere you go and come back from. So the rail belongs to the Vaults tab and collapses with it, which also means SFTP, S3 and a terminal each get the full 1016 rather than the 826 a page gets. The tab is expressed as "a page, and not one of the two the strip took" rather than as a fourth ShellSurface. Both are still ShellScreen members and have to be — that is what they are on the phone, where they are two rows in a hub — so a surface each would have been a second way to say a thing Screen already says. IsTransfersShowing and IsBucketsShowing light the other two tabs unchanged. What is new is one field: the page Vaults comes back to, because it is the one tab with sub-navigation and therefore the one that can return to the wrong place. That is not the hidden field ShellSurface argues against — that one would be a second copy of "which page"; this is a tab remembering its own. THE HOSTS SCREEN IS A GRID, and the 268-pixel sidebar is gone. That column was choosing among forty machines and editing one of them at two-thirds width, and it was narrow so the editor beneath it could be a column at all. Cards took the first job at full width; a 304-pixel drawer took the second and collapses when nothing is selected. Pressing a group card narrows the grid; SHOW ALL is the way back. The group editor moved into the drawer as well, which finally makes IsEditingGroup mean the same thing on both heads — it was the phone's alone, because the desktop's editor was a bar that was always on screen. AreHostsExpanded and ToggleHosts went with the control that used them. They folded the whole list away under one heading, an affordance that existed because the column was narrow. Folding a single group is a different thing and is still here. THE TYPE SCALE IS A POINT LARGER and the text ramp is white. The base size was never stated anywhere — a bare TextBlock took TextElement's default of 12 — so raising the scale meant naming it, on Window and on UserControl. The second selector is not redundancy: the layout harness hosts a UserControl in a window it builds itself, and without it the suite would measure every screen a point smaller than it ships, silently. A selector on TextBlock would have been the obvious way and is wrong, because a style setter beats an inherited value and would collapse every deliberate step back to one number. #E3E7F4 is a blue-tinted white on blue-black surfaces, which costs contrast twice — once for being darker than white and once for sharing a hue with what it is drawn on. Pure white is 18.3:1 against the canvas where that was 15.5:1. Every step below moved with the top, so the intervals the design chose are kept and TextDim clears 9:1 against 6.4:1. The palette is shared, so the phone has both changes too. TWO DEFECTS THE HARNESS STRUCTURALLY CANNOT SEE, found by rendering the screen rather than by measuring it, and both now covered. The tile was 232 and was first written as 248, from arithmetic that left out the scrolling stack's own margins. Every layout test passed — the harness asks whether a control is inside the window, never how many fit on a line — so the grid quietly became one column wide at exactly the minimum this application guarantees, which is the shape cards exist to avoid. TheHostsGridKeepsTwoColumnsAtTheMinimumWithTheDrawerOpen counts columns instead, and fails at 248. And a card's text ran past its own border, because a horizontal StackPanel measures children with infinite width: a TextBlock inside one never learns it is short of room, so TextTrimming never fires. Both card rows are grids with a star column that gives way and an Auto column that does not — a hostname with its tail cut is still the machine you were looking for, where a badge or the word naming an auth method is not. The keychain header changed shape for the same class of reason. It was Auto,Auto,*,Auto with the buttons last, so the slack column was the only thing absorbing a change of width and five buttons fell off the right edge the moment the type grew. That is how GENERATE lost the word KEY once already. The summary sits in the star column and trims now, so the buttons always get their width. HostSidebarTests became HostGridTests and moved to the grid with the gestures it drives. docs/design-import-gaps.md gains a v3 section naming the five toolbar controls in the design with nothing behind them — a view-mode switch, a tag filter, a calendar, a share control and Serial — and manual-checks.md and the README follow the controls that moved. |

Let the terminal's text be made bigger, and remember how big
Taking pinch-zoom off the phone left nothing in its place, and there was nothing on the desktop either. This is the replacement, and it is deliberately not the thing that was removed: zoom scales what has already been drawn, so the remote goes on wrapping to a width that is no longer on screen. Changing the font size refits the grid and reports the new column count, so the far end is told it has fewer columns. That round trip is the feature. The size is one number, owned by the shell. It has to be, for two reasons that pull the same way: it must survive a relaunch, and it must be reachable from a phone that has no Ctrl key to press. So the page asks and the host decides — a signed step over a new client opcode, answered with a size over a new server opcode. The phone's buttons and the desktop's chords arrive at the same place, and a size set by either is the size both remember. Stored in settings.json beside the cache rather than in it, and that is not laziness about a migration. The cache is encrypted and unreadable until a vault is unlocked, and the first terminal of a locked launch needs the size already. Nothing secret may go in that file; ClientSettings says so out loud, because the next person to add a preference is the one who needs to read it. Where it is reachable from differs per head, and only here. The phone gets A− and A+ on the connection line — not in the accessory row, which scrolls, and a control that fixes unreadable text must never be the thing that is off-screen. The desktop gets the three chords every terminal emulator has, answered by the page while a terminal has focus and by the window when it does not, plus a row in preferences that shows the current value and names the chords rather than replacing them. Someone whose terminal is too small to read is not in a position to go looking. Clamped 8 to 32. Below eight a monospace grid stops being legible and becomes a texture, and every column of it is still a column the remote is being told exists; above thirty-two a phone in portrait has too few columns to hold a prompt. The buttons disable at the ends rather than accepting presses that do nothing, which on a terminal reads as the application having stopped responding. The preferences screen's header comment claimed none of the design's terminal settings could be saved, and listed the three things that were missing to make one work. All three now exist, so it says which one is real and why the other five still are not. Verified with the protocol suite — including that the step byte round-trips signed, since read unsigned a step down arrives as 255 and clamps to the largest font, making "smaller" do the most dramatic available version of "larger" — a data-plane test that the chord is heard with no session registered, and five shell tests: the default matches the renderer's, both clamps hold, reset works, and a size chosen in one shell is there in a second one over the same profile directory. Layout suite and both heads build. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Merge branch 'main' into the Android head
Main grew the screens the host-management plan called for — hosts, pins, snippets, logs, import, teams — plus the ObjectStore and Import projects behind two of them, and moved WindowsDeviceKeyStore into the desktop head's Platform folder. Five of those view models landed in a directory this branch had already moved, so they join the rest in DodoSSH.Client.Shell: git spotted the rename and put them there, and the namespaces followed. Shell picks up ObjectStore and Import as a result, which the Android head then gets transitively and will use neither of at first — scoped storage means there is no ~/.ssh/config to import, and file transfer is out of its first scope. Desktop suites green at 155 and 64. |

Give DodoSSH a phone, and a shared shell for both heads to drive
The Android head from docs/android-port.md, taken as far as its step 6. Step 3, the spike, is answered and its throwaway screen is gone: libsodium.so and libe_sqlite3.so are both in the arm64 APK, so NSec resolves its native half on Android despite shipping no Android build, and the local cache opens. Two findings the audit could not have had: Avalonia.Controls.WebView only ships net10.0-android36.0, which settles the open "which Android versions" question at targetSdk 36; and Android has blocked cleartext HTTP since API 28, so the terminal renderer needs a network security config scoped to 127.0.0.1 or the WebView loads nothing. DodoSSH.Client.Shell is new and is why the phone can exist: the view models, the terminal renderer files and the palette moved there so both heads drive one state machine and draw from one set of tokens. The desktop head is otherwise untouched and its 144 tests still pass. The platform pieces behind interfaces that already existed: the profile directory from filesDir, a device key wrapped by a StrongBox-backed key that a fingerprint releases, and a foreground service so a shell outliving a vault lock stays true on a platform that stops backgrounded processes. Sign-in is deliberately absent rather than approximated. It needs an app link, because reusing the desktop loopback listener is the attack RFC 8252 section 8.3 names. |

Free the terminal from the Hosts screen, and fill the room it left
The WebView sat inside the Hosts grid, so navigating to Files or the keychain hid every open terminal and the strip that named them. A connection you had opened was invisible from four of the five screens. The window now has two surfaces rather than one: a nav rail that says which page you are on, and a terminal strip that is always there and switches the whole content area to a shell. Screen keeps meaning "which page" and never becomes a sixth kind of page, which is why this is two properties instead of one enum with a terminal member in it. Every screen lives inside one wrapper panel that collapses when a terminal is showing. That is not tidiness — the WebView hosts a Win32 child window that composites above everything Avalonia draws, so a screen left visible over its rectangle is a screen sliced in half, and this window has shipped that defect once already. One decision point, IsTerminalShowing, and a nested panel rather than five compound bindings nobody would remember to extend. The focus choreography is the part no test in this repo can see. Every reveal path now focuses in the same turn the WebView appeared, so all three of them post at DispatcherPriority.Loaded and let the native control re-push its bounds first. Going the other way had a real bug: the screen-changed branch called a bare Focus() where it had to release the keyboard from the native child, so switching from a terminal to Files silently ate the first keystrokes. Rare before this commit and the primary gesture after it. The tab strip grew a cross inside each tab, a plus that opens the quick-connect palette, and middle-click close. Nested buttons are correct here: Avalonia handles a left press on the cross and deliberately does not handle other buttons, which is exactly what lets middle-click bubble up from the cross as well as the tab. The test is PointerUpdateKind rather than IsMiddleButtonPressed, because the latter reports button state and is also true for a left press made while the middle button happens to be held. The handler is on the tab and not the strip, so the background closes nothing by construction. Plus opens the palette rather than a flyout, since a menu dropping into the WebView's rectangle may or may not composite above a child HWND and this repo does not make rendering claims it has not photographed. Everything a user reads now says keychain. The wire, the database and the cryptographic spec still say vault, deliberately: renaming those is a migration and a protocol change for a word. That split is written down rather than left to be rediscovered as an inconsistency. Four things that were squeezed into the keychain's category rail, or into nothing at all, now have screens. Pinned host keys get one, with fingerprints never truncated and a filter that matches them, because comparing what you have against what the operator published is the whole workflow; the approved date is read out of the item's UUIDv7 rather than added as a column, and says so, since it means first approval and not last use. Keys can be generated in the client, which needed the openssh-key-v1 container written by hand — there is no BCL or NSec helper, and the PKCS#8 route is unverified in the SSH library this uses. The armour carries no passphrase: encrypting it needs bcrypt_pbkdf, which is Blowfish with a swizzle, in a project whose crypto is otherwise entirely libsodium, for a protection the key's own remarks argue is redundant inside a vault. Generation fills the existing editor and stops, so SAVE stays the one thing that writes. ~/.ssh/config can be imported behind a preview that is ticked per row and writes nothing until the button; IdentityFile records the path and imports the key material only on an explicit opt-in, because reading somebody's private key into a vault is precisely the act this product exists to make deliberate. Match blocks and ProxyJump are reported rather than obeyed — one cannot be evaluated statically and the other has nothing behind it to route with, and a preview that implied otherwise would be worse than one that admits it. Files can be dragged in all four directions that are honestly available. Remote to Explorer does not ship and is not pretended to: the shell wants the bytes during the drop, which needs a virtual file and a native COM data object, outside what Avalonia offers. Note for the next person that Avalonia 12 replaced the drag model outright — DataObject and DataFormats are no-op stubs and IDataObject is not in the reference assembly, so every tutorial written for 11 does not compile here. Hosts can be grouped, flat and never nested. A parent id merged as a scalar lets two offline clients each re-parent A under B and B under A, producing a cycle inside an encrypted payload that no server can police and every reader would have to detect for ever. Membership lives in that payload rather than in the one plaintext concession ADR 0001 allows, whose test is that the relay cannot function without it — nothing on the server reads a group, so what plaintext would hand over is a clustering of the estate for nothing. The plaintext column reserved for it is dropped, provably always null, and the server now refuses a client that sends one; it was never populated, was copied on apply, and was not cleared on delete, so a group id would have outlived the host it described. Snippets insert through xterm rather than through the pump, because xterm is the only thing that knows whether the remote has bracketed paste on, and that is what makes a shell treat embedded newlines as text instead of as execute. The host process moves opaque bytes and never parses output, so it would have to guess, and guessing wrong runs every line. Running is off by default and the copy says the text goes into whatever is there — the terminal has no notion of being at a prompt, and may be in vi or at a password prompt with echo off, so the Enter the user presses themselves is the entire safety property. Connections and keychain changes are recorded as synced encrypted items, which is what makes them auditable by a team later and costs the server knowledge of connection rate and timing from row counts alone. ADR 0001 already concedes it cannot hide that class of metadata; the trade is now written into it rather than left implicit. A connection entry is written once, at close, which is what makes a synced log tractable: nothing to merge, one outbox row, no chance of colliding with itself. Live sessions come from memory, not from the log. The write is void by contract and posts to a bounded channel, because putting an encrypt-and-write on the teardown path of every session is how closing the application comes to take four seconds. A ticket opened before a lock still closes afterwards, since a shell outlives the vault. The activity log hooks the one generic repository every kind writes through, so it cannot miss a caller — which is also why the log kinds themselves declare they are not audited, or the first entry would write an entry about writing an entry. It records the names of the fields that changed and never their values; a log with an old password in it would be a plaintext credential store with no vault around it. Retention is 90 days or 5,000 entries, whichever bites first, pruned on the sync loop rather than on a second timer. That log traffic then broke the status line, which is worth recording because the fix is a shape and not a patch: background sync counted its own log rows as pushed items, so the quiet rule stopped being quiet and every action's message was overwritten a second later by a sync report. The report now separates log rows from user items and the rule reads the latter. S3 buckets appear as a remote in the file browser, behind the same interface an SFTP session implements, so the queue and both panes did not have to learn what they are talking to. Uploads go through a pipe, because the queue wants to write and the SDK wants to read; memory is then bounded by the part size instead of buffering a file to disk twice. Finally, the Windows device key store moved out of the session project, which was the one thing keeping it from being portable — everything else in it is platform-neutral, and a Windows CNG dependency in the middle of the vault code meant a second head could not reference it without dragging Windows along. The seam that made the move free was already there. docs/android-port.md is the audit behind that: what ports, what does not, in order of cost, the four decisions taken, and an inventory of every screen and state the interface has to carry, written so a design can be made from it directly. dotnet build, dotnet test and dotnet format --verify-no-changes are all clean: 1240 tests at zero warnings, including the end-to-end suite against real containers. The manual checks that headless Avalonia cannot make — the drag from Explorer, a generated key against a real host, twelve tabs at the minimum window width — are listed in docs/manual-checks.md and are still outstanding. |

Stay signed in, come back online by itself, and let a machine be given up
Three things a machine that has been set up could not do. Unlock now takes Enter, which is the gesture everybody makes after typing a password and which did nothing until they found the button. Signing in survives a relaunch. The refresh token is kept in the local cache, sealed under the vault's own cache key, so a later launch resumes the session through the refresh grant with no browser and nobody present — and because it is sealed under that key, only an unlocked vault can resume it. A locked client therefore cannot reach the server at all, which is a consequence worth stating rather than working around; docs/crypto.md §3.2 records it. Every sync pass asks the shell for a connection rather than reading one captured at unlock, so a laptop that unlocked on a train is online within a minute of finding a network, with nothing pressed. Unlocking itself still never waits on a socket. Signing out empties this machine: the profile, the cached items, the outbox and this machine's device key, with the account's row withdrawn when the server can be reached. It asks first and says what it costs — the outbox count when the vault is open, an admission that it cannot be counted when it is not, and the shells that keep running either way. The vault is on the server and is untouched, which is what makes the same button the only honest answer to a forgotten passphrase, so it is on the unlock screen as well as in preferences. It cannot end the session at the identity provider, and says so. Two defects surfaced on the way. The synchronisation pass that runs when the vault opens never ran at all: the loop is started from inside the unlock command, so the busy flag it yields to was raised by that command — the first sync was a minute late on every launch. And signing in from preferences while unlocked threw an unlock screen over an open vault whose keys were still in memory. The unlock card and the new confirmation live in their own controls because MainWindow cannot be laid out headless, so markup left inside it is markup no test can measure; both are now measured at the window's minimum size in the shapes that grow. What is still unverified is the composed window itself. |

Give hosts and terminals their own screen, and the rest of the vault another
Rebuilds the client's shell from an imported design: a titlebar and nav rail it draws itself, real multi-session tabs over the one WebView, a Ctrl+K host search, and a vault screen that merges keys, passwords and pinned host keys into one table. Hosts left the vault column for their own screen beside the terminal, which is what the design asks for and turned out to be the better split anyway. Two screens the design shows have nothing behind them yet — file transfer and teams — and say so plainly rather than rendering invented data; every other gap between the design and this build is recorded in docs/design-import-gaps.md. |
