- apps/multiplatform/common/src/uiTestShared/README.md: rules for writing UI tests, from the test review;
- harness: any app crash fails the test (both platforms); known app bugs are marked with @KnownAppIssue and reported as skipped; no input retries (Android types through the input connection); peer error lines and app work still running at the end fail the test; restart re-reads settings from disk; Android stall watcher and resume after any abnormal instrumentation end; shared hideKeyboard();
- tests: ~25 merged or dropped, the rest strengthened per the review; ~25 new: files and images (local XFTP server), received replies, delivery status, disappearing messages, mentions, group links, incognito join, moderation, block for all, "show last messages", hidden profiles, Android onboarding;
- app: test keys only, on elements the new tests act on;
- plans: test review reports, findings 43-53, app findings 5-6, results.
- apps/multiplatform/scripts/waydroid: wd.sh (headless Waydroid for the Android UI tests and manual GUI testing), provision2.sh and watchdog2.sh for a second instance, weston.ini, fetch-images.sh, README; works on Qubes AppVMs and other Linux hosts (apt/dnf install, firewalld, own nft table, weston 10-14 flags);
- uitest-android.sh uses it by default (WD_SH overrides) and takes adb from it, so both use one adb;
- uitest.sh usage header;
- plans/ui-tests: test drafts (including unmerged batch 3), the 2026-10-14 review reports, results after the rebase.
Compose UI tests that drive the real app against local SMP servers and CLI peers:
- harness for desktop (in-process skiko scene, paused clock, parallel forks) and Android (instrumentation on any adb device or Waydroid, CLI peers through a host bridge);
- 112 tests shared by both platforms, 25 desktop-only, 15 Android-only;
- app code: test keys on the elements tests act on, and idle tracking of API calls and events, both inactive unless test hooks are enabled (debug Android builds, desktop tests);
- runners scripts/uitest.sh and scripts/uitest-android.sh, uitest-servers executable (cabal flag uitest);
- plans/ui-tests: the desktop and Android plans, the P1a start page, the Android research log, and the test catalogue with its review notes and scripts.
* desktop: fix crash in SimpleX address screen when there is no profile

* plans: name the picker auto-open condition
* spec, plans: wording; security note
* plans: self-destruct did not crash on Android master; not a trigger
* plans: self-destruct path possible but unconfirmed; Android recovers silently
* spec, product, plans: drop GAP-09 and unrelated line refreshes
* plan: Android self-destruct path confirmed in logcat
* desktop: close Chat preferences screen when there is no profile, as the address screen does
* ui: show unicode characters in address as unicode markers
* defence in depth for links in messages (they are non-clickable from parser)
---------
Current code does not have this problem, as markdown parser rejects such links, and they are not clickable - it is needed for new markdown file viewer - this way unicode links in markdown show with unicode sequences instead of look-alike letters.

* android: recognise passphrase fields as passwords for password managers
Passphrase fields used a hand-rolled VisualTransformation lambda, so Compose never
marked them as password fields: the autofill structure carried no hints and no
password inputType, and password managers could not identify them. The raw
passphrase was also exposed through the CopyText/ACTION_COPY accessibility action.
PassphraseField now declares an autofill content type and uses
PasswordVisualTransformation, which sets the password semantics Compose derives
that flag from.
Fields that create a passphrase declare NewPassword. Where no field would carry
plain password (first-time setup, hidden profile password) they declare both, as
managers do not recognise a form whose every field is newPassword. On the change
form the current-passphrase field supplies password, so the new fields declare
only newPassword - adding password there leaves the manager unable to tell which
field holds the new value and suppresses the save prompt.
* android: do not offer to save hidden profile passwords
Hidden profile password fields no longer declare an autofill content type.
Compose commits the autofill session, which shows the password manager's
save prompt, only after the last field with a content type leaves the
screen, so these fields never trigger it. A saved entry would reveal that
the hidden profile exists.
Rewrite the plan to match the code.
* android, desktop: storage breakdown in developer options
Port of the iOS Storage screen (#5529): lists each top-level entry of the app's data, config and temp folders with its recursive size, so it is possible to see what takes space.
* android, desktop: simplify storage view
Use DefaultProgressView, drop the bold total and redundant absoluteFile, and do not follow top-level symlinks (matches iOS; avoids counting the Android lib link).
* android, desktop: storage view: do not crash on names the JVM cannot convert to Path
Under a non-UTF-8 locale on Linux, File.toPath() throws InvalidPathException for a non-ASCII top-level name (e.g. a received file decrypted into tmpDir); log it and show 0 bytes. Also correct plan wording.
* android, desktop: storage view: fold path conversion into treeSize, use produceState
Also correct plan wording (du per-directory overhead, unlistable roots, Windows junctions).
* android, desktop: storage view: open as card screen like other settings screens
* android, desktop: storage view: list top-level entries as Path to keep their exact names
File.listFiles + toPath loses names that are not valid in the JVM file-name encoding (non-ASCII under a C locale, invalid UTF-8), so those entries showed 0 bytes. Files.newDirectoryStream keeps the raw bytes.
* android, desktop: storage view: normalize root paths before dropping nested roots
A root spelled with .. (e.g. XDG_DATA_HOME=/x/data/../tmp) compared as nested in another root and its size was shown nowhere.
* android, desktop: document storage view in spec and product docs
* android, desktop: storage view: single catch when listing a root
* android, desktop: do not log file paths in storage view
The walk's IOException messages contain the full path, which in tmpDir can be a received file's original name.

The core allocates every chat_* response with malloc and passes ownership to
the caller, as iOS does in API.swift. Both JNI bindings copied the bytes into a
Java string and dropped the pointer, so every command, event and file read
leaked its whole response into the C allocator - invisible to both the JVM and
the Haskell heap profiler.
Desktop frees in decode_to_utf8_string, the funnel every entry point already
goes through. Android has no such funnel because NewStringUTF is called inline,
so decode_and_free is added and the call sites routed through it. chatReadFile
frees directly on both.

"Blur media" hid images and videos in a chat but showed the same media
sharp as the thumbnail of a quoted message and as the last message's
image, video or link preview in the chat list.
Small views are now blurred with the same reveal as chat media. They are
resampled relative to the width they are drawn at, so a thumbnail is
blurred as much on screen as media in a chat, and drawn as the centre
crop the thumbnail shows. In-chat media keeps the same blur.
Blurring the chat list also needs: each last message gets its own blur
state, loaded chat-list videos use it and hide their full-screen play
button while blurred, a right-click on a thumbnail no longer leaves it
revealed on desktop, and leaving a chat mid-scroll no longer undoes
reveals in the list on Android.
