Docs: the 2026-10-02 audit reports, the full sweep and the Android design audit, with their screenshots

REPORT.md is the full-app sweep and what became of each finding. ANDROID-DESIGN.md is a walk through every phone screen on the emulator, from a cleared install to SFTP, with findings ranked by severity and a screenshot for each. The home-folder listing in the sweep's transfers screenshot is blurred.

+### Forwarding ports
+
+A host can carry **port forwards**, added under PORT FORWARDS in its editor, in the three kinds OpenSSH has:
+**local** (`-L`, a port here reaching a machine the remote can see), **remote** (`-R`, a port on the remote
+reaching back to one this machine can see) and **dynamic** (`-D`, a SOCKS proxy here whose connections leave
+from the remote). They are saved in the host's encrypted payload, so they sync, merge and are shared with the
+host, and they start with every terminal opened to it, on either head. The session sidebar lists them under
+FORWARDS with the state of each, and the status bar counts the ones listening; on the phone the same list is a
+sheet off the terminal's bar.
+
+Three things about them are worth expecting rather than discovering.
+
+**Everything listens on localhost, and there is no setting for it.** A forward is a field any member of a
+shared keychain can fill in, and one bound to every interface would hand the remote's network to anybody who
+can reach your machine for as long as the terminal is open. A remote forward asks the remote for its loopback
+too; whether the remote honours that is its own `GatewayPorts`.
+
+**A forward lives as long as its terminal.** It runs over that tab's connection, so closing the tab, losing
+the connection or reconnecting stops it — a reconnect starts the host's forwards again on the new session. A
+second tab to the same host runs the same forwards, and they fail there because the ports are taken; the row
+says so, and the terminal is unaffected. Any row can be switched off and on while its session is up.
+
+**No byte counts**, which the design draws: SSH.NET keeps none, so a number there would be invented. The
+phone runs forwards too, listed behind a `⇄` in its terminal's bar, but cannot edit them yet; see
+[The Android head](#the-android-head).
+
+### Reaching a server through Spelunk
+
+A server managed by Spelunk runs Spelunk's agent, which keeps a connection open to Spelunk. DodoSSH can use
+that connection instead of dialling: tick **Connect through Spelunk** in the host editor and fill in
+Spelunk's API address, the server's id in Spelunk, and your Spelunk API key. A connection then asks Spelunk
+for a ticket, opens a WebSocket, and the agent connects to the SSH server on the machine's own loopback — so
+the server needs no open SSH port at all. Shells and file transfers both go this way; the relay and Spelunk
+are one choice, and ticking one unticks the other.
+
+- **Fill in the API key once, under Settings → Security → Spelunk.** Give Spelunk's API address and paste
+  the key (`spelunk_…`, with the Admin role). It is saved as a *Spelunk key* in your personal vault —
+  encrypted, synced to your other devices, never shown again — together with the address, and **it is only
+  ever sent to that address**: a host that names the key with any other address is refused at connect. One
+  key serves every server in that Spelunk organisation; saving a key for an address that already has one
+  replaces it, and every host using it connects with the new key. The host editor offers saved keys first
+  and picks the one for the address you type. The API address must be `https://`, except for a Spelunk on
+  this machine.
+- A key kept the older way, as a credential's password, still works and is still offered in the editor;
+  its password goes to whatever address the host names.
+- **The hostname and port still matter**, though nothing dials them: the host key is pinned under them as it
+  is for every host, and the port is what the agent connects to on the server.
+- **There is no falling back to a direct dial**, and a refusal is said in Spelunk's terms: a key Spelunk will
+  not take, a key whose role is too low, a server outside the key's organisation, an agent that is not
+  connected, an agent that could not reach the SSH port or is too old to open terminals.
+
+**Sign in through Spelunk (no SSH key needed)**, the box under the key in the same card, lets Spelunk log
+you in instead of an SSH key or password of the host's own. For each connection DodoSSH makes a throwaway
+Ed25519 key pair in memory and sends the public half with the ticket request, which the API key authorises;
+the agent runs a one-connection `sshd -i` on the server whose only authorised key is that one, and says
+which account it logs in as (`root`). It is real SSH to the server's real host key, so shells, file
+transfers and port forwards all work, and the key is gone with the connection — it is never stored,
+synced or logged. The login and authentication choices are greyed out while it is ticked and saved as
+nothing. The server needs OpenSSH's `sshd` installed (not running, and no open port); an agent too old
+to sign in, or a server without `sshd`, is said so. Such a host is written at host schema version 10,
+so a DodoSSH older than this shows it read-only.
+
+**"Open in DodoSSH" in Spelunk** starts DodoSSH with a `dodossh://spelunk/connect?api=…&server=…&name=…&host=…`
+link, or hands the link to the copy already running, and **connects straight away.** The link never
+carries a credential. The hosts links make live in your personal vault, tagged `spelunk`:
+
+- If your personal vault has a host tagged `spelunk` for that server on that Spelunk, DodoSSH connects to it.
+- Otherwise, when you have saved a Spelunk key for that Spelunk under Settings → Security — or a saved host
+  already sends an API key there — DodoSSH saves a new host in your personal vault — named as the link
+  names it, at the link's address (or `spelunk-<server id>`), port 22, signing in through Spelunk with that
+  key, tagged `spelunk` (the tag is made if the vault has none) — and connects to it. It syncs like any host
+  you saved yourself.
+- **A link from a Spelunk with no key** opens the host editor instead, filled in the same way with sign-in
+  ticked and the tag on, and you choose that Spelunk's API key once and save. Every later link from that
+  Spelunk connects straight away. A link can be sent by anything on this machine, so an API key is never
+  sent to an address you have not sent it to — saving the key under Security is how you say you have.
+
+A host you set up by hand, or one in a team's vault, is left as it is: a link for its server adds a host of
+its own. A link that arrives while the vault is locked waits for the unlock.
+
+The Windows installer registers the scheme for your user and removes it on uninstall, the macOS bundle
+declares it in its `Info.plist`, and the Linux package's desktop entry declares `x-scheme-handler/dodossh`.
+The phone reaches Spelunk hosts the same way but does not answer links yet.

-[`docs/design-import-gaps.md`](docs/design-import-gaps.md).
+**Port forwarding runs here too, and is edited on the desktop.** A host's forwards start with every
+terminal the phone opens to it, as they do on the desktop. The terminal's bar grows a `⇄` for a tab that has
+any, carrying the number listening in green, or turning red when one could not start; it opens a sheet
+listing the tab's forwards with their route, their state, the reason a failed one gave, and a tap on each to
+switch it off or on — the desktop sidebar's FORWARDS section, over the same rows. The v2 design's whole
+FORWARDING screen is not drawn, for the reason the desktop has none: a forward belongs to a host and runs
+with a session, and both already have a place. What the phone has not got is an editor for them — its host
+form has no PORT FORWARDS section — so they are added on the desktop and arrive with the host; the More
+screen says so in a paragraph.
+
+Forwards ride the **keep-alive** a shell already has. A forward runs over its tab's connection, so the
+foreground service that holds a shell open in the background is holding its forwards open too, and nothing
+else needs to: the service is never started for a forward alone, because there is never a listening forward
+without a live shell. What forwards change is the notification, which counts them beside the shells —
+`1 shell connected · 2 ports forwarded` — because a phone in a pocket holding ports open is something its
+owner should be able to see. Local and SOCKS forwards listen on the phone's own loopback, which every app on
+the phone can reach; that is what makes one useful here — a database client on the phone reaching a server
+behind the remote — and it is the same exposure the desktop's localhost has to its own processes. See

+Run on the emulator (`dodossh_api36`, Pixel 5 profile, 1080×2340 @ 440 dpi, Android 16). It used a
+standalone **Debug** APK from `main` at `858e362`, against a local API, Keycloak and a throwaway `sshd`.
+The walk went from a cleared install through sign-in, enrolment, recovery code, unlock, adding a host,
+connecting, host-key trust, terminal, and every Settings sub-page.
+
+Screenshots are in [`android/`](android/), downscaled. The recovery-code screen can't be captured,
+because `FLAG_SECURE` blocks it, so it was reviewed from its markup and the accessibility tree.
+
+**How to read the evidence.** "a11y tree" means `uiautomator dump`, which reads what TalkBack and any
+other accessibility service see. Times and hangs come from a Debug build on an emulator (JIT, no AOT),
+so treat any performance note as "confirm on Release".
+
+---
+
+## What works well
+
+- **Connection progress card** ([11](android/11-connecting.png)): five named steps, the current one lit,
+  with *close* and *logs* available while it's in progress.
+- **Host-key sheet** ([13](android/13-host-key.png)): "UNKNOWN HOST KEY", first contact, the algorithm,
+  the full SHA256 fingerprint, and an instruction to compare. **TRUST AND CONNECT** and **CANCEL** are
+  both full width.
+- **Recovery-code screen**:
+  - no back and no skip;
+  - **CONTINUE** stays disabled until the tick;
+  - a full-width **COPY CODE**;
+  - capture is blocked.
+- **Terminal** ([14](android/14-terminal.png)):
+  - resizes above the keyboard;
+  - the two-row accessory bar (esc, tab, ctrl, `| - ~ /`, arrows, A−/A+) stays reachable;
+  - the open-sessions strip and the tab strip are clear.
+- **Busy states**: enrolment disables its fields and button and explains the wait ("deliberately takes a
+  moment").
+- **Touch targets** measure 44 dp or more almost everywhere: checkboxes, buttons, rows.
+- **Back** closes sheets. The soft keyboard's ✓ submits single-field forms (unlock, connect).
+- **Copy is honest and specific**, e.g. "works with no network — the keychain decrypts on this phone",
+  and the Vaults explanation.
+
+---
+
+## Critical / high
+
+### H1 · Password fields expose their plaintext to accessibility services
+
+- **What:** the vault passphrase field ([05](android/05-unlock-prefilled.png)) and the SSH password field
+  ([10](android/10-connect-sheet.png)) both report `password="false"` in the a11y tree. Their `text`
+  attribute is the secret itself, in clear.
+- **Evidence:** the a11y tree on both screens; the values matched exactly what was typed (redacted here).
+- **Why it matters:** any installed app holding an accessibility service can read every passphrase and
+  host password typed into DodoSSH. That's a common Android malware technique. TalkBack would also read
+  the passphrase aloud character by character.
+- **Where:** `TextBox.secret` sets `PasswordChar` and `ContentType=Password`
+  (`Theme/Phone.axaml:583`). That's correct for the input method, but Avalonia's Android automation peer
+  ignores it.
+- **Fix:** give secret boxes an automation peer that reports `IsPassword` and returns no value. At
+  minimum, override the exposed text on `TextBox.secret`. File it upstream with Avalonia as well. Check
+  the desktop's UIA peer for the same leak.
+
+### H2 · The passphrase survives enrolment and pre-fills the unlock box
+
+- **What:** right after the recovery code, the unlock screen already holds the passphrase (16 dots;
+  [05](android/05-unlock-prefilled.png)) beside "Unlock with the passphrase you just chose."
+- **Why:** `ConfirmRecoveryCode` clears `RecoveryCode` from memory on purpose ("keeping it in a view
+  model … would undo that"), but `Passphrase` is never cleared after enrolment. Combined with H1, it's
+  readable from the a11y tree on that screen. It also skips the one moment that proves the user
+  remembers the passphrase.
+- **Fix:** clear `Passphrase` and its confirmation when enrolment completes, as the recovery code is
+  cleared.
+
+### H3 · A hardware Enter that submits the connect sheet leaves the window "not responding"
+
+- **What:** I typed the password and pressed Enter (an injected `KEYCODE_ENTER`, which is what a
+  Bluetooth or DeX keyboard sends). The connection started, but Android reported the window
+  unresponsive. The key-up was never acknowledged (`InputDispatcher: Waited 5009ms for
+  KeyEvent … ENTER … action=UP`). The ANR dialog then kept coming back
+  ([12](android/12-anr.png)) until the process was killed. Meanwhile the main thread was idle in
+  `Looper.pollOnce`: it wasn't busy, the event was simply lost.
+- **Not affected:** tapping **CONNECT**, and the soft keyboard's ✓ (which sends an editor action, not a
+  key event). Both connected cleanly.
+- **Likely cause:** focus moves to the terminal's native renderer (`Platform/RendererFocus.cs`) while
+  the Enter key-up is still in flight.
+- **Repro:** host row → type password → hardware Enter.
+- **Confidence:** reproduced once, and an accessibility dump was running at the time. Confirm on a real
+  device with a keyboard.
+
+### H4 · Screen-reader names are type names across the app
+
+The a11y tree announces these:
+
+| Control | Announced as |
+|---|---|
+| Bottom nav (Hosts / Connections / Settings) | `Avalonia.Controls.Panel` ×3 |
+| Add-sheet rows, Settings rows, session chip | `Avalonia.Controls.StackPanel` / `Avalonia.Controls.Grid` |
+| Keychain filter chips | `Avalonia.Controls.StackPanel` ×5 |
+| Host list rows | `DodoSSH.Client.Shell.ViewModels.HostRowViewModel` |
+| Host editor dropdowns | `AuthenticationChoice { Kind = Typed, EntityId = , … }`, `GroupChoice { … }` |
+| Vault row | `VaultRowViewModel { VaultId = 01a0fe77-… }` (leaks an internal id) |
+| FAB / header add | `+` (no name) |
+| Decorative glyphs | `⌕ ▤ ⌗ ⚙ ⚿ ❯ ⇅ ◳ ≡ ◎ ›` exposed as text |
+
+There are two further problems:
+- **Hidden content:** the hosts list stays in the tree under the full-screen host editor, so a
+  screen-reader user can wander into a screen they can't see.
+- **Leftover desktop controls:** the desktop scrollbar's "Line up / Page down" buttons are exposed too.
+
+**Fix:** set `AutomationProperties.Name` on every button whose content isn't a string. Give row
+templates a name, or override `ToString` on the row view models. Mark glyph `TextBlock`s
+`AutomationProperties.AccessibilityView="Raw"`. Hide covered content from the tree while an editor
+covers it.
+
+### H5 · Copying the recovery code isn't marked sensitive
+
+`CopyRecoveryCode` goes through Avalonia's plain `SetTextAsync` (`App.axaml.cs:187`). On Android 13+,
+the system shows a clipboard preview of the copied text. That overlay is system UI, so this screen's
+`FLAG_SECURE` doesn't cover it, and Gboard keeps the text in its clipboard history. Use a native
+`ClipData` with `ClipDescription.EXTRA_IS_SENSITIVE` for any secret the app copies. (Read from code;
+not observed, because the screen can't be captured.)
+
+---
+
+## Medium — visual system
+
+### M1 · The accent glow is clipped to a square on every primary button and the FAB
+
+Each gradient button sits on a slightly lighter rectangle, and its corners show past the rounded shape:
+- [z-glow-button](android/z-glow-button.png): SIGN IN, CREATE THE VAULT, UNLOCK, CONNECT, SAVE, ADD
+  FILES;
+- [z-glow-fab](android/z-glow-fab.png): the round FAB sits inside a visible square.
+
+`AccentGlow` (`0 0 22 0`) is set on the template's `ContentPresenter`
+(`Phone.axaml` `Button.primary` / `Button.fab /template/ ContentPresenter`) and gets clipped to the
+button's own bounds. The desktop's `Button.accent` uses the same pattern, so check it there too. Fix:
+draw the glow from an unclipped wrapper (a `Border` with margin), or drop it on the phone.
+
+### M2 · Body copy is monospace, against the shared-typeface decision
+
+`docs/design-import-gaps.md` ("The phone catches up") records that the phone shares the desktop's
+faces. On the desktop, prose (`hint`, `heading`, the settings titles and captions) is Montserrat, and
+mono is kept for identifiers (`.mono`) and labels (`.label`). On the phone, `TextBlock.body`, `.title`
+and `.detail` all still set `MonoFont` (`Phone.axaml:661–680`). So every paragraph, title and caption is
+JetBrains Mono, and only screen headers (Personal, Settings, New host) are Montserrat. The result is
+long, wide-set paragraphs that are tiring to read ([03](android/03-enrol.png),
+[16](android/16-settings.png), [19](android/19-sftp.png)).
+
+Keep mono for labels, buttons (the recorded ALL-CAPS-mono convention), addresses and code. Move
+`.body`, `.title` and `.detail` to the default sans.
+
+### M3 · Fluent's selection fill leaks into the host list
+
+After a connect, the tapped row stays lit in `#3d486b` ([15](android/15-selected-row.png)). That
+slate-blue isn't in `Palette.axaml`, which says selection is `Active` `#1E1E2C`. The comment at
+`HostsScreen.axaml:360` says the selection fill was deliberately removed ("a lit row would be a mark
+with no action behind it"). But only the custom `Border.hostrow.chosen` style was changed. Fluent's
+`ListBoxItem:selected /template/ ContentPresenter` background was never overridden.
+
+### M4 · Disabled secondary buttons are heavier than enabled ones
+
+`Button.secondary` has no `:disabled` style, so Fluent's `#3c3c43` slab shows through. SFTP's disabled
+**SAVE FILE** is the most prominent button in its row ([z-sftp-actions](android/z-sftp-actions.png)).
+Mirror `Button.primary:disabled`: a `Raised` fill and `TextFaint` text.
+
+### M5 · Unstyled Fluent controls among styled ones
+
+- **Dropdowns:** `ComboBox` keeps Fluent's ~4 px radius, bright white border and black fill beside
+  10 px, softly bordered fields (host editor, SFTP host picker; [08](android/08-host-editor.png)).
+- **Checkboxes:** the default `CheckBox`, with its label sitting below the box's centre (relay, remember
+  password, press-Enter; [10](android/10-connect-sheet.png)).
+- **Focused fields:** the fill switches from `Field` to pure `#000`.
+- **Scrollbars:** desktop scrollbars are always visible. On Keychain, the horizontal bar is drawn over
+  the bottom of the filter chips ([17](android/17-keychain.png)). Android expects auto-hiding overlay
+  bars.
+- **Stuck hover:** after a tap, Vaults' ↻ keeps a grey hover square. Touch has no hover, so
+  `:pointerover` styles need a touch-safe variant.
+
+### M6 · The terminal's colour and font have drifted from the palette
+
+`WebAssets/terminal.css` says its `#171a26` background "is `TerminalSurface` in Palette.axaml". The
+palette now says `#18161F`. The terminal therefore reads navy, against the app's purple-black
+([14](android/14-terminal.png)). Its font stack starts at `ui-monospace` and never names the embedded
+JetBrains Mono, so on Android the WebView falls back to the system mono. That makes two different
+monospace faces on one screen.
+
+### M7 · Iconography
+
+- **Glyphs, not icons:** the phone uses Unicode glyphs (`⚿ ❯ ⇅ ◳ ≡ ◎ ⚙ ▤ ⌗ ⌕`), even though Material
+  Icons is embedded and the desktop uses it. Weights and optical sizes vary (the heavy purple `❯` beside
+  hairline `◳`; [16](android/16-settings.png)).
+- **Reused meanings:** ⚙ is both the Settings tab and the Preferences row, and ⚿ is both Keychain and
+  "Lock the keychain".
+- **Splash:** the splash shows a flat purple circle, while the app's own icon is a rounded square with
+  the gradient.
+
+---
+
+## Medium — information architecture and flows
+
+### M8 · "Settings" holds the product
+
+Keychain, Snippets, SFTP, S3, Logs and Vaults all sit under the ⚙ **Settings** tab, beside
+Preferences and Lock ([16](android/16-settings.png)). File transfer and snippets are working tools, not
+settings. Options:
+- rename the tab ("More" or "Tools") and keep Preferences as one row in it;
+- or promote SFTP to the bottom nav. Its icon is already ⇅.
+
+### M9 · Keychain can't add anything
+
+The empty state says "Add an SSH key or a password to stop typing one" ([17](android/17-keychain.png)).
+The screen has no add control: no FAB, no header +, nothing in the a11y tree. Passwords can only be
+created from the host editor's "+ NEW CREDENTIAL", and no phone path adds an SSH key. If keys are
+desktop-only, the empty state should say so.
+
+### M10 · Three ways to add, two ways to edit
+
+- **Add:** Hosts has a FAB, Snippets a header "+", Keychain nothing, and the terminal's header "+"
+  means "new session".
+- **Edit:** the host editor is a full-screen page with ← and ✓ ([08](android/08-host-editor.png)). The
+  snippet editor is an inline card with **SAVE/CANCEL**, and the header "+" stays live while it's open
+  ([18](android/18-snippet-editor.png)).
+
+Pick one pattern for each.
+
+### M11 · SFTP
+
+- **Action block:** it covers more than half the screen (seven buttons, a permanent help paragraph and a
+  status line), so only about four file rows are visible ([19](android/19-sftp.png)).
+- **No selection:** RENAME, MOVE, PERMS and DELETE are enabled with nothing selected. Tapping one only
+  writes "Choose something on the host to rename." into the status line at the bottom.
+- **DELETE:** neutral-styled here, while delete is danger-red on hosts and the keychain.
+- **Directory rows:** marked only by a tiny purple ▸, with no folder icon.
+- **Password again:** it's asked for again although a shell to the same host is already open.
+- **S3:** blocked while an SFTP session is open. Tapping S3 bounces to SFTP, with "An SFTP session is
+  open. Close it before opening a bucket." at the bottom ([20](android/20-s3-bounced.png)).
+
+Suggestion: a contextual action bar that appears with a selection, help moved behind an ⓘ, and the
+listing given the screen.
+
+### M12 · Bottom sheets
+
+- **Partial scrim:** the scrim covers only the content area. The header (with **LOCK**) and the bottom
+  nav stay bright and tappable under every sheet ([07](android/07-add-sheet.png),
+  [10](android/10-connect-sheet.png)).
+- **Decorative handle:** it has a drag handle, but swipe-down doesn't dismiss.
+- **Button order:** the primary action is on the left (CONNECT | CANCEL, SAVE | CANCEL). Android puts
+  the confirming action on the right.
+- **No autofocus:** the connect sheet's password field isn't focused on open, so it takes an extra tap.
+- **Nav above keyboard:** the bottom nav rides up above the keyboard and eats the sheet's space
+  ([13 before trust](android/13-host-key.png)).
+
+### M13 · Sign-in and enrolment
+
+- **Full browser:** sign-in opens a full Chrome tab (`ChromeTabbedActivity`), not a Custom Tab, so the
+  user leaves the app. Chrome's own first-run prompts then land on top.
+- **Unannounced second sign-in:** step 2 asks for a passphrase, and **CREATE THE VAULT** then sends the
+  user to the identity provider's login form a second time. That's the deliberate `prompt=login` key
+  binding (`OidcClient.AuthorizeKeyBindingAsync`), but no copy warns that it's coming. Say "you'll
+  confirm your identity once more" on the passphrase screen.
+- **Blank resume:** after the browser returns, the app showed a blank `#05050a` canvas for 5–10 s with
+  no progress indicator. Every shell state has a screen, so this looks like surface re-creation on
+  resume (Debug + emulator). Confirm on Release, and keep a visible state on screen while it happens.
+- **Step labels:** start at "STEP 2 OF 3"; step 1 is never labelled.
+
+### M14 · The global status line leaks across screens
+
+A single `StatusMessage` follows the user around:
+- "Unlocked 'Personal'." in the middle of Preferences ([21](android/21-preferences.png));
+- "Synchronised: 2 in, 2 out." after adding one host. `Describe` counts `Pulled`/`Pushed`, which include
+  the app's own log entries, while `PulledItems`/`PushedItems` already exist for this;
+- "audit-box asks for a password." repeated under the sheet that asks for it.
+
+Scope messages to the screen that raised them, or use transient snackbars.
+
+---
+
+## Low — input, copy, polish
+
+- **Keyboards:**
+  - the server URL field gets a text keyboard with contact suggestions, not the URL keyboard
+    ([02](android/02-server-keyboard.png));
+  - the port field gets the full letter keyboard ([z-port-keyboard](android/z-port-keyboard.png));
+  - hostname and username get autocorrect suggestions.
+  
+  Set `TextInputOptions.ContentType` (`Url`, `Digits`) and turn autocorrect off for those.
+- **Placeholder-as-label:** name, hostname, username and notes in the host editor, the unlock field,
+  and the snippet fields have no labels, so each field's meaning disappears once typed in.
+- **Terminology:**
+  - "CREATE THE VAULT", then "Creating your keychain";
+  - "vault passphrase" (placeholder) next to "Enter your keychain passphrase" on the same screen;
+  - "ENROLLMENT" (US spelling) in a British-English app ("Synchronised", "unopenable").
+- **Fingerprint wrapping:** a single "I" wraps onto its own line. Chunk it, or size it to fit
+  ([13](android/13-host-key.png)).
+- **Address format:** "10.0.2.2 · 2222" on the host-key sheet, "10.0.2.2:2222" everywhere else.
+- **Dates:** "10/2/2026 11:29 PM" in Logs ([23](android/23-logs.png)), "2026-10-02 21:04" in SFTP.
+- **Notification permission:** Android's prompt appears without explanation at the first connect.
+  Explain the keep-alive notification first.
+- **Terminal width:** the default size gives about 37 columns, so `ls -la` wraps every line.
+- **Empty and loading states:**
+  - Hosts' empty state is one grey line at the top left ([06](android/06-hosts-empty.png));
+  - Vaults first rendered an empty list with no loading indicator;
+  - the keychain shows both "0 items" and an empty-state sentence.
+- **Connecting card:** **CLOSE THIS TAB** and **SHOW LOGS** are indented past the card's left edge
+  ([11](android/11-connecting.png)).
+- **Host-key context:** the sheet opened over the Quick Connect form, not over the connection progress
+  it belongs to.
+- **Disabled fields:** on the enrolment busy state they turn a flat mid-grey
+  ([04](android/04-enrol-busy.png)), and the keyboard stays up.
+- **Fingerprint setting:** "Unlock with a fingerprint" in Preferences is drawn as a bare circle; it reads
+  as a radio button, not a switch.
+
+## Not verified here
+
+- **System font size:** whether the app honours it. No `FontScale` handling exists in the phone code,
+  and Avalonia scales by density, so text likely ignores the setting. I didn't change device settings
+  to confirm.
+- **Landscape and tablet:** an `IsWide` layout exists but wasn't exercised.
+- **TalkBack:** not run end to end. The H4 findings come from the tree TalkBack reads.
+
+## Environment notes for a re-run
+
+- **Keycloak port:** 18080 was taken by another project's container, so Keycloak ran on **18180** via a
+  compose override, with `Oidc__Authority=http://127.0.0.1:18180/realms/dodossh` and
+  `adb reverse tcp:18180`.
+- **`adb root`** restarts adbd and drops `adb reverse`. Re-add both forwards afterwards, or the app
+  shows OFFLINE.
+- **The sshd** was a throwaway `linuxserver/openssh-server` container (`dodossh-audit-sshd`, port 2222,
+  user `dodo`).
+- **Build:** `-p:RuntimeIdentifier=android-x64` adds an `android-x64` section to every
+  `packages.lock.json`. Restore those files afterwards.

+# DodoSSH full sweep — 2026-10-02
+
+## Fix status (same day)
+
+Every fix below has a regression test. Where marked ✔✔, the test was also checked to fail with the fix taken out.
+
+| Item | Fix |
+|---|---|
+| C1 ✔✔ | `LocalDirectory.ChildPath` cleans remote names and requires the resolved parent to be the target folder. It is used by every download path and by EDIT. `LocalEditor` opens a file that would run (PATHEXT plus a known list, and macOS launchers) with the type's own `edit` verb or with Notepad / `open -t`. On Linux, opening a `.desktop` file is refused. |
+| C2 ✔✔ | Pinned key types are offered first. A key under an algorithm with no pin of its own is accepted only if its fingerprint matches one of the endpoint's pins (the same RSA key under `rsa-sha2-256` vs `-512`); otherwise it is a hard mismatch. Tested against the real OpenSSH container. |
+| C3 ✔✔ | Complete, Revise and Park take the `PendingOperation` and act only while the row still holds that operation id. A later edit is rebased onto the version that was just accepted, so it pushes without a conflict. |
+| C4 | Pull leaves out change entries the item has moved past, so a revision is never paired with newer ciphertext. This also stops re-sending an item's payload once per historical edit. |
+| C5 | Deleting a team's last vault archives the team only when the owner does it. `TeamService.ArchiveAsync` now checks ownership itself. |
+| C6 | `DeviceKeyNames`: the default profile keeps `DodoSSH.DeviceKey.v1`, and every other profile gets its own name. Sign-out deletes only its own key. A profile still sealed under the shared key keeps reading it. The same applies to the macOS keychain tag. |
+| H1–H3 | The data plane reassembles messages up to 16 MiB. A frame that throws stays with its own session. Input writes are serialized per pump, so a slow write is never overtaken. |
+| H4 | The host and bucket the user chose are remembered across reloads. A typed password is only sent to the host it was typed for. |
+| H5 | Selecting a vault reads its people even while the screen is busy. A generation counter discards answers for an older selection. |
+| H6 / U9 | Locking or signing out leaves Settings, and the Members panel closes with it. Escape closes the Members panel first. |
+| H7 ✔✔ | The tracked user is reloaded after the out-of-band last-seen update. |
+| H8 | `sync_state.pulled_types` (with a client migration) restarts the pull once when the synced type list changes. |
+| H9 | `ActiveAccountRequirement` on both policies. A suspended account gets 403 `account-not-active`. |
+| H10 | `DevicePinWindow` palette keys fixed, and it now uses `InitializeComponent`. `Load` never assigned the named fields, so the window could never have opened. Covered by a new layout test. |
+| H11 ✔✔ | `IRemoteFileStore.CanWriteFromAnOffset`: false for buckets, so a retried upload starts over. |
+| H12 | `ImportOutcome` carries refused hosts and the reason a batch stopped early, including a busy keychain. Both import screens say so. |
+| U1–U4 | The host card's sync badge moved to the address line, so names show in full. Tag chips wrap and trim. Keychain names trim inside their column, with a tooltip. The Security caption wraps. |
+
+Second round, on branch `claude/audit-followups`:
+
+| Item | Fix |
+|---|---|
+| U5 ✔✔ | The closed vault's card takes the keyboard on launch and on each new card (server address, enrolment, passphrase). Enter signs in and enrols. |
+| U6 ✔✔ | The host-key, delete and sign-out questions give the keyboard to their harmless answer (CANCEL / CLOSE, never TRUST or DELETE). Escape says no to each, and closes the hosts drawer. Tab stays inside the host-key card. |
+| U7 ✔✔ | Arrow-key selection on the Hosts board is written back to the vault, from the list that has the keyboard only. An arrow on the board itself enters the cards. Enter on a card connects. |
+| U8 | `DeviceUnlockWording`: Windows Hello, Touch ID, a TPM-checked device PIN or a fingerprint, according to the platform. |
+| U10 | Session tab labels are capped at 200 px and trimmed, with the full label in a tooltip. |
+| U11 | The keychain's VAULT column is an Auto column in a shared size group, so it takes no width when no row names a vault. The Tags page's always-empty column is gone. The snippet buttons appear only with a snippet chosen. |
+| U12 ✔✔ | `TerminalTabViewModel.EndedAt`: the status-bar timer stops when the shell ends. |
+| P1 (part) ✔✔ | A sync pass that moved nothing no longer reloads (and decrypts) the whole keychain. It restrings the ago-texts instead. Failed vaults still reload. The Clear-plus-Add rebuild itself is unchanged. |
+| P3 | `ProbedDeviceKeyStore`: the TPM probe runs once per process, on the thread pool. |
+| P5 | A pulled page is mirrored in one write, and the outbox is read once per page. Changes with a local edit waiting still go one at a time, in order. |
+| P6 ✔✔ | `OpenShellAsync` makes its three round trips on the thread pool, honours cancellation, and closes a shell that arrives after the caller gave up. |
+| Transfers ✔✔ | Lost wake-up fixed with a `pumping` flag cleared under the same lock that finds the queue empty (a stress test failed 2 of 2 runs before the fix). Cancel as a transfer finishes no longer throws. A drop or download refused while busy says so. |
+| EF retry ✔✔ | `FreshAttempts.ExecuteFreshAsync`: a retried write transaction clears the tracker and reloads what it carries in. Before this, a lost commit made a team hand-over answer 204 with nothing changed. Tested with an interceptor that fails one commit. |
+| Rejected delete ✔✔ | A delete of a create that never landed is complete when the server says it has no such item. A create that did land still behaves as before: the delete gives way, and the user is told. |
+| Team archive race | Archive and team-vault creation take a per-team advisory lock. Archive re-counts the team's vaults, and creation re-checks the team is live. No race test. |
+| Relay revocation ✔✔ | `RelayAccessWatch` re-checks a user's open relay sessions when their access changes and ends lost ones with 4403 / `AccessRevoked`. |
+| Shell | `ToggleVaultAsync` catches a failure and redraws. `CrashLog` writes uncaught exceptions to `crash.log` in the profile (the process still exits). A lock pressed during an unlock now wins (✔✔). |
+| Window chrome | `CaptionPresses` decides a double-click on the press, before `BeginMoveDrag`. Only a headless test covers it; it is not verified on a real Windows window. |
+
+| P1 (rest) ✔✔ | `ReplaceableCollection.ReplaceAll`: the host, visible-host, section and bucket lists are swapped in whole and announced once, and each transfers picker refreshes only from its own list. |
+| P2 (most) | The transfer queue and import lists are virtualised (✔✔: 2,000 of 2,000 rows were built before). The find box hands its text to the vault after a 150 ms pause in typing, and the view model still filters synchronously. |
+
+| P2 (board) ✔✔ | `VirtualizingWrapPanel` builds only the host cards near the view. Measured headless, after warm-up: first layout with 300 hosts went from about 3 s to about 0.5 s, and with 1,000 from 8.3 s to 0.2 s. Clearing a filter went from 1–8 s to about 0.1–0.2 s. Arrow keys, End, the band and selection still work. |
+
+| P4 ✔✔ | **Server:** `TombstoneCollector` runs every 6 h. It deletes tombstones past the 90-day retention together with their change entries, and compacts each item's superseded entries down to its newest. It then raises the vault's `SyncHorizon`, and a cursor from before it is refused. A cursor now carries the horizon it was issued under. Without that, the read from the beginning that a refused client starts was refused on its own second page and looped for ever on any vault larger than a page (✔✔: found by a client test, then reproduced in an API test). **Client** ("resync and prune", as chosen): a read from the beginning marks every item it reads, keeping the mark in the sync state because the read can span passes. When it finishes, it removes unmarked items of the synced types. It keeps items with an unsent change, and items pushed during the read. Such an edit is then sent as a create, as before, but now records a `RecreatedAfterCollection` conflict and is named in the sync message. The removed items are named too. New client cache migration `AddSweepMarks`. |
+
+Not done, and why:
+- **Live-run observations** (production as the default server URL, Keycloak on host port 18080): product decisions, not bugs.
+
+Pre-existing flakiness: on untouched HEAD, 3 of 8 runs of `ShellFlowTests` each had one test fail: `TheCountsAPhoneShows_FollowEveryForwardsState`, `ASpelunkHost_IsDialledThroughTheTunnel_AndStillAsItself` and `ReconnectingAHostThatWantsAPassword_AsksForOneRatherThanDiallingWithout`. These races are in the tests and predate this work.
+
+How it was done:
+- The desktop client ran on Windows with an isolated profile against a local stack: Postgres, Keycloak and the API on :5333.
+- The real MainWindow was rendered headless through every screen and settings page, 39 captures at 1081×583 and 1440×900.
+- Four parallel code audits covered: the Shell view models; SSH/terminal/transfer; the server and sync; the desktop views and platform code.
+- The findings marked **✔ verified** were re-read in code by me, or seen in a screenshot. The rest come from the audits; each one was traced, but I did not check them again.
+
+The live session could not get past OIDC sign-in. The default browser is Edge, which I can't type into, so the terminal, SFTP and host-key flows were reviewed in code only.
+
+---
+
+## Critical — data loss, security
+
+| # | Finding | Where |
+|---|---|---|
+| C1 | **Path traversal on download / open-to-edit.** Remote names go straight into `Path.Combine(LocalPath, row.Name)`. SFTP only drops `.` and `..`, so on Windows a name with backslashes (`..\..\AppData\…\Startup\x.bat`) or a rooted name escapes the folder. S3 keys `../..` do the same on every OS. EDIT then opens the file with `UseShellExecute`, so a `.bat`/`.hta` *runs*. The Android head sanitises names; the desktop doesn't. ✔ verified | `TransfersViewModel.cs:2682,2698,2780,2784,3165`; `SshNetSftpSession.cs:105`; `ObjectKeys.cs:50`; `App.axaml.cs:380` |
+| C2 | **Host-key pin bypass by changing the key algorithm.** Pins are looked up per algorithm. A MITM that offers ecdsa or rsa to a host pinned for ed25519 gets the "never seen before" first-use prompt instead of the mismatch hard block. ✔ verified | `SshNetConnectionFactory.cs:261-272` |
+| C3 | **The outbox loses an edit made while a push is in flight.** `CompleteAsync` deletes the row by `Sequence` only, but `QueueAsync` folds a newer edit into that same row with a new `OperationId`. When the older push is acknowledged, the newer edit is deleted silently. ✔ verified | `OutboxStore.cs:239-250` vs `:71-97`; `SyncEngine.cs:554` |
+| C4 | **Pull pairs historical revision numbers with the current ciphertext.** `Describe` sends `Version: change.Revision`, but the payload comes from the item's current row. The AAD binds the version, so the payload fails to decrypt. A concurrent offline edit gets parked as "Undecryptable". ✔ verified | `SyncService.cs:565,592` |
+| C5 | **A team admin can archive the team (meant to be owner-only).** If an admin deletes the last vault, `ArchiveAsync` runs with no role check and revokes every membership, the owner's included. | `VaultGrantEndpoints.cs:182,196`; `TeamService.cs:242-289` |
+| C6 | **The shared TPM key name breaks other profiles.** `WindowsDeviceKeyStore` uses one CNG key name (`DodoSSH.DeviceKey.v1`) for the release and nightly profiles. Sign-out in one (`ForgetAsync`) deletes the key, and the other profile's device unlock stops working. This contradicts `ClientPaths.ForChannel`, which says the two installs are kept apart. ✔ verified | `WindowsDeviceKeyStore.cs:127,233-246` |
+
+## High — broken behaviour
+
+| # | Finding | Where |
+|---|---|---|
+| H1 | **Terminal input >64 KiB (a large paste or copy) is lost.** On a frame that doesn't fit the buffer, the loop `continue`s, and the tail is then dispatched as if it were a frame. ✔ verified | `TerminalDataPlane.cs:465-472` |
+| H2 | **Keystrokes can race.** Input frames are written to `ShellStream` without awaiting and without a lock, and the base `FlushAsync` runs on the pool. A snippet RUN (text, then `\r`) over about 4 KiB can execute truncated. | `TerminalDataPlane.cs:505`; `SshNetConnectionFactory.cs:554-558` |
+| H3 | **One resize on a closing shell tears down the renderer socket for every tab** (`ObjectDisposedException` escapes the receive loop). | `TerminalDataPlane.cs:516-520` |
+| H4 | **The SFTP host picker resets to the first host on every sync pass**, about once a minute. Selection is lost on `Hosts.Clear()`, so CONNECT can dial host[0] with the password typed for host X. The same Clear-then-Add pattern resets the Known Hosts and Snippets selection and closes the snippet delete card. | `TransfersViewModel.cs:3905,3923-3950`; `KnownHostsViewModel.cs:264`; `SnippetsViewModel.cs:689` |
+| H5 | **The Vaults Members panel can show vault A's members under vault B**, and SHARE / REVOKE then act on that mix. | `VaultsViewModel.cs:1646,1698-1765` |
+| H6 | **Locking or signing out from Settings leaves a window with no title bar** (no close, minimize or drag). Unlock then returns to Settings. ✔ verified by screenshot | `MainWindowViewModel.cs:3254,3400`; see `locked-from-settings-no-titlebar.png` |
+| H7 | **Enrollment returns 500 if last-seen is more than an hour old.** `ExecuteUpdate` changes `xmin` under a tracked entity, and the `SaveChanges` that follows throws a concurrency exception. | `CurrentUserContext.cs:92,120`; `EnrollmentService.cs:177` |
+| H8 | **A new synced type never back-fills.** A filtered pull moves the cursor past types the client didn't request, so after an upgrade adds a type (SpelunkKey, ObjectStore), older changes of that type never arrive. | `SyncService.cs:50,69`; `SyncEngine.cs:145` |
+| H9 | **Suspended users keep full access.** `UserStatus` is checked nowhere on the request path. | `CurrentUserContext.cs:126` |
+| H10 | **`DevicePinWindow` references `Surface` and `MutedText`, which don't exist**, so Linux TPM-PIN register/unlock should throw on open. ✔ verified | `DevicePinWindow.axaml:7,35` |
+| H11 | **A failed S3 upload commits a truncated part, and every retry then fails.** | `S3UploadStream.cs:126-146` |
+| H12 | **Import screens report success when the vault skipped or failed the import** (busy, or a mid-batch exception). | `ImportViewModel.cs:374`; `HetznerImportViewModel.cs:561` |
+
+## UI issues seen in the running app
+
+| # | Finding | Where |
+|---|---|---|
+| U1 | **Host card labels are cut to 3-4 characters even at 1440px.** "bastion" shows as "bast…", and k8s-worker-a / -b both show as "k8s…", as do web-prod-01 / -02. The label is the primary identifier, and the "not synced" badge takes most of its width. ✔ `hosts-truncated-labels.png` | `HostsScreen.axaml` card template |
+| U2 | **Tag chips overflow the host card edge.** The WrapPanel sits inside a horizontal StackPanel, so it never wraps. ✔ | `HostsScreen.axaml:737-774` |
+| U3 | **Keychain table: long names overprint the TYPE / USED BY columns.** `TextTrimming` has no effect inside a horizontal StackPanel. The same pattern appears in Logs, SessionSidebar, Snippets, NavRail and Transfers. ✔ `keychain-overlap.png` | `KeychainScreen.axaml:294` et al. |
+| U4 | **Security page: the "End-to-end encrypted" caption runs past the card edge.** ✔ `security-text-clipped.png` | `SettingsSecurityPage.axaml:49-60` |
+| U5 | **Enter does nothing in the server URL box** (verified live). The same applies to the enrollment passphrase boxes. The passphrase box is not focused on launch. | `MainWindow.axaml:385` |
+| U6 | **Overlay cards (host key, delete, sign-out, host editor) have no Enter/Escape and don't take focus**, and Tab walks the page behind them. | `HostKeyCard.axaml` etc. |
+| U7 | **Hosts board: arrow-key selection isn't written back to the view model**, so the drawer's Connect / Delete act on the previously clicked host. There is no Enter-to-connect. | `HostsScreen.axaml:573` |
+| U8 | **Windows-only wording on macOS/Linux:** "USE WINDOWS HELLO", "Waiting for Windows…". | `UnlockCard.axaml:51`; `MainWindowViewModel.GestureWait` |
+| U9 | **Escape over the Members panel leaves Settings and leaves the panel open** for the next visit. | `MainWindow.axaml.cs:242` |
+| U10 | **Session tab labels are unbounded.** One long label pushes "+" off the strip. | `SessionTabRow.axaml:89` |
+| U11 | **A VAULT column is drawn and empty** with a single vault (Keychain, Tags). The snippets list footer shows Edit / Move / Delete with nothing selected. | screenshots |
+| U12 | **The status-bar session timer keeps counting after a shell has ended.** | `MainWindowViewModel.cs:4979` |
+
+## Performance
+
+| # | Finding | Where |
+|---|---|---|
+| P1 | **Every sync pass, about once a minute, decrypts the entire keychain even when nothing changed**, then rebuilds each list with Clear + Add. That is O(n²) notification fan-out: with 300 hosts, roughly 45k collection notifications per pass. | `VaultViewModel.cs:6375,4709`; `MainWindowViewModel.cs:4549` |
+| P2 | **The Hosts board is not virtualised and is rebuilt on every filter keystroke.** The transfer queue (one row per file in a folder download) and the import lists are not virtualised either. | `HostsScreen.axaml:448-576`; `TransfersScreen.axaml:1193` |
+| P3 | **The TPM probe (create and delete an RSA-2048 key) runs synchronously on the UI thread** at startup and after every unlock. | `WindowsDeviceKeyStore.cs:152`; `MainWindowViewModel.cs:2594,2970` |
+| P4 | **Pull re-sends the full current payload once per historical change.** There is no change-log compaction and no tombstone GC, even though ADR 0003 promises 90-day GC. | `SyncService.cs:45-56,565` |
+| P5 | **The client applies each pulled change in 2 or more separate SQLite transactions.** | `SyncEngine.cs:157-169,303` |
+| P6 | **`OpenShellAsync` does blocking network round trips wrapped in `Task.FromResult`** and ignores cancellation. | `SshNetConnectionFactory.cs:401-418` |
+
+## Lower / plausible
+
+- **Transfers:**
+  - A wake-up can be lost, leaving a transfer queued forever (`FileTransferQueue.cs:452-505`).
+  - Cancel at the moment a transfer finishes can throw `ObjectDisposedException`.
+  - Drops and downloads are ignored silently while busy (`TransfersViewModel.cs:2272`).
+- **Sync and server:**
+  - The EF retry strategy re-runs a push with stale tracked state (`Persistence.cs:38`).
+  - Deleting a create that never landed leaves a permanent "Rejected" conflict.
+  - A team can be archived while a vault is being created in it.
+  - Relay sessions survive removal from the team, for up to 12 hours.
+- **Shell:**
+  - Lock can race an unlock that is still loading.
+  - `ToggleVaultAsync` has no try/catch, and there is no global `UnhandledException` handler.
+- **Window chrome:** double-click to maximise may be swallowed by `BeginMoveDrag`.
+
+## Observations from the live run
+
+- **The first-launch default is the production server, and sign-in completes without a credential prompt.** `DefaultServerUrl = "https://ssh.dodotech.cloud"` is pre-filled. With a live browser SSO session, one press of SIGN IN on a brand-new profile completed sign-in with no password typed, and wrote the account's wrapped key and vault list into the new profile. For a self-hosted product, an empty field with a placeholder is the safer default.
+- **The local dev compose hard-codes host port 18080 for Keycloak**, which collides with other projects on this machine.

Three deviations from the mock, not omissions: the algorithm prints exactly as negotiated (`ssh-ed25519`), not the design's shortened `ed25519`, because trimming it would be an edit to a string this client did not choose; the run is plain text rather than the design's clickable element, because there is no pin-details modal for a session that is already open, and drawing a click target for a screen that does not exist would itself be a fabrication; and a typed-password session — nothing filed in the keychain to name — shows the host-key algorithm alone, with no `·` after it, because there is no item behind the dot. |

+      The desktop sidebar's FORWARDS section, as a sheet: the selected tab's forwards as they run over its
+      session, bound to the same rows. Each row is its own switch, as there — tap a listening one to stop it,
+      an off or failed one to start it, a failed one being a retry because the port may have been freed.
+
+      The route is written under the notation rather than left to a tooltip, which is where the desktop
+      keeps it: a phone has no hover, and which end each port is on is exactly what people get backwards
+      about -L and -R. The reason a row failed sits under that again, as the desktop draws it.
+
+      The same shape as the connect sheet above, raised from the bar the same way, collapsing the renderer
+      the same way — see MainWindowViewModel.IsForwardsSheetOpen. It scrolls, capped at most of the display,
+      because a host may carry more forwards than fit, and a sheet that grew past the top of the screen would
+      put its own title out of reach.
+
+      Nothing here edits a forward, and there is no add row: this head's host editor has no PORT FORWARDS
