SoftwareApp 05a71f12bf Browse the device by what a file is, and find the ones that hold the same bytes
The root screen opened on a list of volumes, so "where are my photos?" began with knowing which folder they were in. It now opens on Libraries - Images, Videos, Audio, Documents, Archives and Recent - each row saying how many files the index knows of that kind, and each opening an ordinary listing with thumbnails, sorting, multi-select, details and the existing viewers, so a tap on a photo opens the image viewer and a tap on a PDF the PDF viewer. Downloads and New files are deliberately absent: one is a folder shortcut and the other a time window, and presenting three different things as one feature is how a listing starts lying about itself. Documents includes .txt, because a user looking for their documents means those too, and DIRECTORY, APK and OTHER belong to no library at all - a test asserts the three omissions so they stay decisions rather than oversights.

A library has to ask for "every image" without reading a name, so IndexedFile gained a derived kind beside FileEntry's and the index stores a copy of it to filter on: schema v3, with a migration that rebuilds the files table and deletes the volume stamps with it, because a stamp means "the rows behind this are this current" and a rebuilt table has no rows behind it. Rebuilding rather than backfilling is legitimate only because this index is a cache of a walk that can be repeated; SqliteTrashIndex's rule is the opposite and its own documentation says why. A library then obeys the indexed search's two rules exactly: the answer comes first with the walk behind it, and every row is confirmed against the filesystem before it is shown, with the rows whose file has gone forgotten rather than displayed. On a device that has never been indexed the first tap on Images therefore starts a walk - which the screen admits to, using the progress row the search already had, instead of showing an empty library that reads as an empty device.

"Find duplicates" in the overflow compares contents in three passes, cheapest first: size, which the index already knows, so the candidate list is one query and reads nothing at all; the first 64 KB of every candidate, a filter whose only power is to rule files out; and the whole file for whatever survives, which is the pass that decides. The separation is enforced by a test that builds two files sharing their first 64 KB and differing afterwards and asserts both were read in full - it would fail if the cheap pass were ever treated as an answer. The screen shows only what was measured: groups ordered by the space deleting the spare copies would give back, each header stating the copies and what they cost, every row carrying its folder as well as its size, and nothing preselected, because which copy to keep is the one decision the screen exists to hand over. A file whose bytes cannot be read is counted and reported rather than skipped, "nothing found" is never claimed without saying how many files were compared, and deleting closes the scan instead of patching it - its rows came from comparing bytes, and quietly dropping some of them would leave a list that still looks like a scan while its headers claim numbers nobody measured.

The thumbnails went from 28 to 48 dp in a list row and 40 to 96 dp in a grid cell, with the grid's minimum column width raised to 144 dp to suit them; ListItem measures its leading slot rather than capping it, so a row grows to fit instead of clipping. That turned out to matter: the commonest complaint in the competitive survey is thumbnails that load only once scrolling stops, which is the failure mode a larger thumbnail invites. Two smaller corrections came out of the same work - a mutation now re-reads whatever is on screen, so a delete from inside a library removes the row instead of doing nothing at all because there was no path to reload, and returning to the app re-reads a library rather than dropping the user back to the roots.

docs/COMPETITIVE_ANALYSIS.md records the market leader's features and what its users praise and complain about, with the sources that were blocked and the size of the review sample stated rather than glossed over; it is where both features came from, and the gaps that cost no permission are listed as candidates in the roadmap. 323 JVM tests (34 added across the two features), lint clean.

Tested on the real phone - the same M2101K7AG, with the debug build installed past MIUI's two gates. The libraries on a cold index (no counts rather than a row of zeroes, "Indexing 300 files..." on the first tap, then "Index updated" and real thumbnails), the counts afterwards (Images 6238, Recent uncounted), a tap opening the viewer and BACK returning with the scroll position, and a duplicate scan that found four genuine groups in the device's own storage with nothing crashing. The duplicate delete was deliberately not pressed on a device that is not ours to empty, the store screenshots predate the new home screen, and the library views turn the M10 screenshot rule into a privacy question as well as a cosmetic one - all of that is recorded in docs/EDGE_CASE_TESTING.md rather than left implicit.

SoftwareApp cd0fdff31b Unpack .tar.bz2 and .tar.xz, which only half-extracted
formatOf matched .tar.gz/.tgz as a combined format and then fell through to the bare .bz2 and .xz wrappers, so a .tar.bz2 was read as one compressed file: extracting it decompressed a single layer and left a .tar to extract again, while the same archive named .tar.gz unpacked in one step. The store listing advertised "extract ZIP, TAR, TAR.GZ, GZ, BZ2, XZ and 7z", which reads as though they all behave alike.

Found by extracting one archive of every supported format through the UI on the API 35 AVD rather than trusting the suite. A real z4.tar.bz2 left z4/z4.tar - raw ustar headers and all - beside z3.tar.gz fully unpacked to z3/a.txt and z3/sub/b.txt.

TAR_BZIP2 and TAR_XZ now sit alongside TAR_GZIP, detection consumes the whole tar suffix (.tar.bz2/.tbz2, .tar.xz/.txz) before the bare compressor, and the engine gains the two readArchive branches. The bare spellings still mean a single compressed file.

The suite had a gap that let this hide: only ZIP, GZIP, XZ and 7z had round-trip tests, so neither plain TAR nor TAR_GZIP did, and there was nothing for the asymmetry to contradict. All four tar spellings have one now, built in memory with the same library that reads them. 212 JVM tests, lint clean.

Also records the format sweep in EDGE_CASE_TESTING and re-measures the release artefacts (aab 4 838 235 / sha256 e1d23130..., apk 2 155 455 / sha256 37fb46cb...). The APK byte count happened to land on the same figure as the previous build, so the new literals were confirmed present in the shipped dex rather than trusted to the size.

SoftwareApp bb1187881b Make the Android 13+ pass, and fix what it found
The phone runs Android 12, so the questions that matter most for a release were exactly the ones it could not answer. Installed an API 35 AVD (sdkmanager was already present and dl.google.com reachable) rather than waiting for a public test track to report back. It found two user-visible defects, neither of which any test could have caught.

On Android 13+ the app asked for no runtime permission at all, so the progress notification was dead. StorageAccessPolicy.missingPermissions returned an empty list from API 33 on the reasoning that "all files access" is a special permission and browsing therefore needs no runtime grant — true as far as browsing goes, but the early return also dropped POST_NOTIFICATIONS, and nothing else in the app requested it. startForeground still ran, so nothing crashed and all 203 tests passed, while dumpsys showed granted=false and importance=NONE. Settings could not fix that either, because Android will not let a user grant a permission the app has never asked for. The notification grant is now requested alongside the storage grant, which is the only moment Android accepts it.

The four READ_MEDIA_* declarations were in the same position, and the manifest comment claiming they back thumbnails and viewers on Android 13+ was wrong. Coil loads both from a real filesystem path — the code comments already say "all-files mode only" — and the one MediaStore use is a best-effort delete request that "all files access" already covers. They were never requested, so they were never granted, so nothing could have depended on them. Removed, which also settles the checklist rule that declaring an unused permission is itself a policy violation.

The selection bar drew its last three actions off the screen on a phone. With one archive selected it holds ten icon buttons, ~480 dp at the 48 dp minimum touch size against the 411 dp a phone has, and BottomAppBar is a plain Row that does not scroll. Compose laid the surplus out past the right edge: measured on a 1080 px screen the row ran Copy(167) to Compress(923-980, itself squeezed to 57 px) and stopped, so Extract here, Select all and Clear selection were unreachable, while the same selection in a 2400 px landscape window showed all ten. The logic was never wrong — ArchiveFormats.isExtractable had judged the .zip correctly — the app just looked like it could not extract. The action row now scrolls, verified by swiping it in portrait and seeing all ten appear.

Verified on the AVD rather than only built: the notification dialog now appears and importance goes NONE -> DEFAULT, a real 220 MB copy posts notification 1001 on channel file-operations with ONGOING_EVENT|FOREGROUND_SERVICE and tears it down plus stops the service when done, edge-to-edge is correct under API 35s enforcement, predictive back returns from a folder and keeps the activity resumed, and Compress to ZIP produced an archive the host unzip read back with the right relative paths and contents. 204 JVM tests, lint clean, release artefacts re-measured.

SoftwareApp 667a85f80c Remember what is in the trash, and add a screen to restore from it
The staged-delete work left a hole. The undo handle lived in BrowserUiState, so a delete from an earlier session was unreachable even though the files were sitting on the volume; and because nothing on disk recorded which folder an item came from, not even the user could put one back by hand with confidence. Adding a Trash screen alone would not have fixed it: the recovery data did not survive the process. So the origin is now written at delete time.

data/ gains its first persistence: a SQLite index (staged path, original path, name, type, size, timestamp). SQLite rather than Room because an annotation processor is a large addition to this build for one table and three queries, and behind a TrashIndex port so domain/Trash keeps no Context while the tests drive it with a map and the real one is still tested against real SQLite. New Trash entry in the overflow menu lists batches and restores a whole one.

The index is an index, not the truth: the staged files are the truth, and the two can disagree if a user empties the folder by hand or pulls a card. Reconciled both ways - restorableFrom drops entries whose file has gone, purgeExpired forgets entries whose folder has gone and sweeps folders no entry mentions - and rows are written after the move, so a crash leaves an unindexed folder (harmless, swept) rather than an entry that could never restore. Verified on hardware: delete, force-stop, relaunch, restore.

Also corrects the docs where they claimed input swipe x y x y 900 is delivered as a plain tap on MIUI. It does open the selection bar - it was driven that way - but it has also landed as a tap, so it is flaky rather than impossible.
