Everything the Play forms ask for that can be settled from the working copy, settled:
- PRIVACY.md now carries the real contact address (softwareapp.hb@gmail.com), so the
policy publishes as-is. Hosting is the one step left that cannot be done from here,
because the repo has no git remote: step 5 of the checklist spells out the push +
GitHub Pages route and the URL it yields.
- Checklist: the screenshot item is done (four captures, 1080x2160, over the demo
library, no permission banner), the keystore and versionCode are recorded as already
in place - including the upload key's SHA-256 for the Play App Signing enrolment - and
the App access / Ads / remaining App content declarations are written down. The
first-upload release-notes question is answered too: versionCode is already 2, so
1.0.1 takes the *initial release* block, not the 1.0.1 one.
- The build facts were verified against the artefacts rather than the source: the
release APK reports versionCode=2, versionName=1.0.1, targetSdk=36 and exactly the
documented permission set, with no INTERNET in what actually ships.
- ROADMAP: the re-shoot row is struck out with the numbers that closed it, M10 no longer
claims the captures predate the demo library, and the demo library's removal is
recorded (MediaStore 5,386 -> 5,364; pruneTo drops the stale index rows next scan).
The staged state and the system confirmation dialog are documented as deliberately not
captured: staging clears the demo group, which would put real photos back in frame.
An Android duplicate-photo finder. Pure-Kotlin core (SHA-256 + dHash hashing, exact and
perceptual union-find grouping, three sensitivity presets) with MediaStore access, a
persistent SQLite hash index and a tiered ScanEngine behind a Jetpack Compose UI.
No INTERNET permission, no ads, no analytics, no account.
Ships versionCode 2 / versionName 1.0.1, carrying the scan-stall hardening (BoundedCall
breaker) and verified against a 5,363-photo device library. 80 JVM unit tests, lint clean.
Release paperwork is in docs/ (Play checklist, store listing, edge-case testing), the
upload-ready Play graphics and screenshots in store-assets/, and the generators for those
assets in tools/.
