Signing in and being allowed to administer the server were the same
question: the OIDC callback refused a session outright to anyone outside
the admin group. A legitimate user could authenticate, be told what they
could not do, and be left with no way to see or delete the data their own
devices had uploaded.
They are separate questions now. Everyone who authenticates gets a
session; the admin flag rides inside the MAC'd payload, so promoting
yourself means forging a signature rather than editing a cookie, and a
role that does not parse fails closed to "user".
Pages scope themselves through visibleDevices/mayTouchRun rather than
filtering individually — per-page scoping is what the next page added
will be missing, and that failure is silent, since a listing that leaks
other people's uploads looks exactly like one that does not. Someone
else's run answers 404, not 403: a distinguishable refusal would confirm
the run exists. Revoking devices and minting enrolment tokens affect the
whole server and stay behind adminOnly at the route table, where someone
looking for who-may-do-what will actually find it.
Ownership is re-read per request instead of captured at sign-in, so
unlinking an account takes effect immediately rather than at session
expiry. Tests cover that, plus the degenerate case of an empty subject,
which must own nothing rather than everything with an empty account id.
Also: attribute the ICMPv6 finding per network. It compared "is IPv6
configured anywhere on this device" against "did any network answer",
which on a phone reports IPv6-is-broken about a network where IPv6 was
never configured. network_ref is null on every test, so the probe now
records per-network outcomes structurally rather than as prose a finding
would have to parse.

v6.no_icmp_reply infers trouble from silence, which is ambiguous by
construction: a firewall dropping echo requests looks the same as a
network that cannot carry IPv6 at all. Two much stronger signals were
already sitting unread in the link snapshot, and a test device on a
Netbird tunnel surfaced both at once.
v6.route_without_address — a ::/0 route with no global address. The
router advertises itself as an IPv6 gateway while SLAAC produces nothing
usable. Hosts believe IPv6 is available and pay a connection timeout on
every dual-stack destination before falling back, which is felt as
general slowness with no packet loss to explain it.
v6.no_default_route — the mirror: a global address with nothing to route
it. A VPN installing host routes to specific destinations produces this
deliberately and it works, so a VPN transport reports it as INFO rather
than as a fault; without one it means the network handed out an address
it does not carry traffic for.
Both are read from the routing table, so neither is inferred from
silence, and both are reported per interface — "IPv6 is broken" is
useless advice when wifi is the broken one and cellular is fine.
Classification lives in core-measurement rather than the ViewModel so it
can be tested without a device; the fixtures are a real dumpsys table
(wifi advertising a route it cannot source from, working cellular, a
tunnel with two host routes) because the risk here is not bad boolean
logic but imagining shapes real networks do not produce.

A phone reported "IPv6 is configured but not working" while loading an IPv6-only
site over TCP perfectly well. The finding fired on one signal - ICMPv6 echo
getting no reply - at HIGH confidence. ICMPv6 echo is widely filtered on
networks where IPv6 works, so the two cases are indistinguishable from where the
app stands, and it was picking one.
Same class of error as the multi-homed downstream-loss bug: a confident
measurement of something that was not happening. Now v6.no_icmp_reply, low
severity, medium confidence, naming both explanations. Still reported, because
filtered ICMPv6 breaks Path MTU Discovery - large packets vanish instead of
being reported as too big - which is a fault in its own right.
Corroborating with a real IPv6 connection would separate the two properly, but
needs a target, which runs into the hardcoded-deployment issue already open.

Authorization code with PKCE, a Sign in card in settings, and the echolot://auth
redirect handled next to the enrolment one - told apart by host, because one
spends a token and the other completes an authorization, and confusing them
would fail obscurely.
The detail that decides whether this survives a real phone: the PKCE verifier is
written to storage before the browser opens rather than held in memory. Handing
control to a browser backgrounds the process and Android may kill it, so the
callback arrives at a fresh one. An in-memory verifier works on a developer's
device and fails under memory pressure.
Pending state is cleared before the exchange is attempted, whatever the outcome:
it is single-use, and leaving it behind would let a later callback complete a
flow nobody started.
Also records an open issue the question about server requirements surfaced: two
probes hardcode the reference deployment, so a user with no server still sends
DNS and STUN traffic to fmr without being told. For a tool this careful about
what leaves the device, that is the wrong default.

At `full` the anonymizer returns the document unchanged, so the salt has nothing
to act on - but the switch was enabled and looked like it did something. A
control that silently does nothing is the same class of fault as the preview
button and the archived-level label: the screen implying more than is true.
Shown disabled with the reason rather than hidden. The setting is still stored
and applies the moment the level changes, so making it vanish would hide state
that is still there; and a settings screen whose controls appear and disappear
as you touch other controls is harder to trust, not easier. The label dims with
the switch so "not active right now" reads at a glance.

Running the Shizuku tier for the first time uploaded every MAC address on the
local network to the server at the balanced level - fourteen of them, router and
all. The probes embed raw command output verbatim (ip neigh, ip route), which is
good evidence and also a complete household device inventory, and the anonymizer
could not see it: classification is by field name and whole-value shape, and
ip_neigh is one long string that is itself neither a MAC nor an address.
measurement-schema.md flagged raw dumps as hard to anonymize and proposed
dropping them from exports. Scrubbing is better: identifiers inside unclassified
strings are replaced in place with the same pseudonyms used elsewhere, so a MAC
appearing in both a parsed field and a raw dump still reads as one device, and
the dump stays readable - neighbour-table shape, host count, RFC1918 addresses
and vendor prefixes all survive. Dropping it would have protected the same data
by destroying the reason for collecting it.
One pass, not three: sequential passes re-process their own output. Once a MAC
became 78:9a:18:xx:yy:zz the IPv6 pattern matched it - six hex groups separated
by colons is an address - and destroyed the vendor prefix the MAC rule had just
preserved. Ordered alternation resolves each position once, MAC first.
RealDocumentTest runs the anonymizer over a captured run when ECHOLOT_REAL_RUN
points at one and fails on any surviving MAC; it self-skips otherwise so no
one's network lands in the repo. Against the document that leaked: 14 in, 0 out.
Also: the Settings preview button did nothing, reading UiState.history which is
empty until the History screen has been opened - same root cause as the "0
run(s)" count. It reads the archive now, and says when there is nothing to show.

The registry was only used in core-engine. The app still emitted seven codes as
raw strings, so the registry test passed while codes lived outside it - among
them ipv6.broken, which fired on a real network and was in no registry at all.
All seven now take their code, category and severity from a registry entry, so
those three cannot disagree at a call site. Grepping for code = "..." across the
app, engine and probe modules now returns nothing.
ipv6.* -> v6.* is the third instance of the same rule being broken: they
declared Category.IPV6 while the prefix map only knows "v6", so
TestType.category("ipv6.broken") fell through to connectivity and the finding
rolled up under the wrong verdict light. The test-type registry already used v6.
Two severities reconciled rather than assumed:
connectivity.captive_portal is medium, not high. The registry had guessed
high; the probe emitting it had always said medium, and the probe was the
considered value - a captive portal on hotel wifi is what should be there.
no_internet keeps high, since nothing local fixes that.
v6.not_offered stays info, and the registry now says why it must. Most
networks still do not offer IPv6; a warning there lights a yellow verdict on a
healthy network and teaches people to ignore the light.
Plus a BackHandler: the screen was a plain state variable with nothing tying it
to the back stack, so Back left the app from Settings/History instead of
returning to the run screen.

A row read "22 kB · full" directly beneath "uploaded to fmr", while the status
line above said the upload went as BALANCED. Both were true and they described
different documents: the row showed ArchivedRun.anonymization, which describes
the *archived* copy - deliberately unredacted, so always "full" - and the status
line described the *uploaded* copy.
Read together, that says the complete data was uploaded when a redacted copy was
sent. A privacy display that overstates what left the device is worse than none,
and telling the user what left the device is the one thing this screen is for.
The level a run was uploaded at is now recorded separately (uploaded_as) and the
row says "kept complete on this device" / "uploaded to fmr as balanced" - each
label naming the copy it belongs to.
Two more from the same screenshot:
- Every row showed no verdict. The archive read summary.verdict; the schema
calls it summary.overall. Silently null on every run, so the list's most
prominent element was blank while everything else looked fine. The test
fixture had the same wrong field name, which is why it passed.
- The status line rendered the server's raw JSON index entry into the UI.
Verified on device: a fresh run archives with verdict "yellow" and
uploaded_as "balanced" beside anonymization "full".

On-device verification found both.
safeDrawingPadding() was on the run screen but not on Settings or History -
they were added later and never got it - so "< Back Settings" sat under the
status-bar clock. The same fault the run screen had already fixed, reintroduced
by new code that did not know about it.
Settings also read "0 run(s), 23 kB stored": the count came from
UiState.history, which stays empty until the History screen has been opened,
while the size read the archive directly. Two sources for one fact; the count
now reads the archive too.
Verified on a OnePlus 15 (A16): header clears the status bar, count reads
"1 run(s), 23 kB stored".

POST /admin/enroll-tokens now returns the whole link, not just the token:
echolot://enroll?v=1&u=<control URL>&p=pin-sha256:<b64>&t=<token>
The server is the only party that knows all three parts at once, and the part
an operator gets wrong by hand is the base64 pin — which does not fail loudly,
it just never matches, surfacing days later as an inscrutable TLS error. The
app takes the link from a paste or from an echolot:// deep link (QR scan), and
writes URL, pin and credential together or not at all.
One trap the tests pin: an unencoded "+" in a query string decodes to a space,
so a hand-assembled link arrives with a pin wrong by one character. Base64 has
no spaces, so they are restored — unambiguous, and it cannot damage a correctly
encoded pin.
Also fixes a spec divergence: §2.1 names the field device_credential and the
first implementation shipped "credential". Both are sent now and the client
prefers the spec's; the alias goes once nothing reads it.

Both sides now declare what they will talk to, and enforce it. Two axes kept
deliberately separate, because conflating them is the trap:
protocol_version — CAN these builds talk. The correctness axis. Below 1.0.0
the minor is the breaking axis, per SemVer §4.
release window — MAY they, per policy. [min, max), advertised in the
profile, overridable by the operator.
The server refuses out-of-window apps with 426 and a body naming both versions
and the accepted range; the app checks the profile in both directions before a
run rather than discovering mid-measurement that it will be refused.
Three rules that shape the rest:
- GET /v1/profile is never gated. It is where a refused client learns which
version it needs; gating it leaves the user with a network error instead of
an answer, which is precisely the confusion this exists to remove.
- An unparseable or absent version is "unknown", and is allowed. Development
builds report "dev", and a client too old to send the header cannot be
identified anyway.
- Bounds sit at breaking boundaries, not at releases, so shipping a patch
never requires editing a range. The app's server minimum is 0.4.2 for a
stated reason: earlier multi-homed servers mis-addressed granted sends and
the client measured 100% downstream loss that never happened.
The app's versionCode is now derived from its SemVer instead of being a second
number someone has to remember to bump.

fmr binds two IPv4 addresses. connFor picked whichever socket of the right
family came first in the bind list, so a downtrain for a session established on
.150 went out from .151 — and every packet was dropped by the client's NAT,
which has no mapping for that pair. tcpdump on the server showed all 50 leaving;
the client saw none. Read as "100% downstream loss", which is the worst kind of
wrong: a confident measurement of something that never happened.
Sessions now record which of our own bound addresses received their traffic, and
granted sends (and delayed echo) go back out through that socket. The fallback
to a family match is kept for the case where nothing has been received yet, and
the test pins both paths — a single-homed lab can never reproduce this.
Also: the client-side halves of the same work — anonymizer (core-privacy), local
run archive with retention (core-archive), upload client, and the app's settings
and history screens.

Verified against Shizuku 13.6's manifest (pulled APK, aapt2 xmltree): its
wireless-debugging entry points (AdbPairingTutorialActivity,
AdbPairingService, StarterActivity) have no intent filters, so they are
not exported and cannot be launched externally; MainActivity answers only
MAIN/LAUNCHER with no deep link. Starting wireless debugging from another
app is therefore not possible, which is why the handoff lands on the
root-start screen.
Instead the hint now names the exact steps inside Shizuku ("Pairing", then
"Start"), and a second tap opens Developer options — that action IS public
and exported, and Wireless debugging has to be on before Shizuku's
wireless start works.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A third-party app cannot start Shizuku — the wireless-debugging pairing
flow is privileged and lives in Shizuku's own app — so the banner
deep-links there when it is installed but stopped, and fires the
permission request directly when it is running but unauthorised. The hint
line says which.
Verified on-device together with the earlier UX work: progress bar showing
"test 4 of 8 · icmp.ping6 · ~33s left", Cancel beside the disabled Run
button, cutout-safe title, and the banner live-updating from
not-running to needs-permission via the binder listener.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Distinguishes not-installed (say nothing — don't nag users who don't use
Shizuku) from installed-but-stopped (amber banner: start it to include
shell-tier tests), plus running-unauthorised and ready. Detection is
listener-based since pingBinder() only becomes truthful once
ShizukuProvider delivers the binder; a launch-time poll would show a false
"not running". Installed-vs-not needs the <queries> entry on Android 11+.
Verified on-device: with shizuku_server stopped, the banner shows before
pressing Run; the title also now clears the status bar/cutout after the
safeDrawingPadding fix.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Probe.estimatedMs (measured per probe; timeout-bound ones dominate)
drives a determinate progress bar and "test N of M · ~Xs left",
including the Shizuku battery in the total.
- Cancel stops the run and shows the partial results as a normal document
(findings + verdict over what was collected) but never uploads them.
- safeDrawingPadding() on the root column: Android 15 is edge-to-edge by
default and the title was colliding with the status-bar clock and the
camera cutout.

link.ra_source answers "who advertises IPv6 here, and which box is it":
RA source per network, MAC recovered from the modified-EUI-64 link-local
(privacy addresses reported as such, not guessed), vendor via a curated
OUI table, UPnP/SSDP M-SEARCH for the gateway's server banner + device
description (manufacturer/model/friendly name), and reverse DNS. All SSDP
responders are recorded so a rogue RA sender that isn't the gateway can
still be matched; the MAC accompanies every identity source as the hook
for future LLDP/mDNS cross-matching. UI gains a "Router / IPv6 advertiser"
panel.
Icons: branding adaptive icon converted to vector drawables (+ PNG
mipmaps, monochrome layer). The debug build is now a separate app —
applicationIdSuffix .dev, label "Echolot DEV", DEV-badged icon — so it
installs alongside a production build and can't be confused with it.

IPv6: absence is no longer a defect. If the network never provisioned v6
(no global address, no ::/0 route) the finding is ipv6.not_offered at INFO
(green) — most networks are still IPv4-only. If v6 IS advertised but
doesn't work, it's ipv6.broken at MEDIUM (yellow), because half-working v6
stalls connections. Verified on-device: our LAN advertises a v6 default
route with no path, and now reports ipv6.broken.
Autorun: `am start ... --ez autorun true` runs the suite immediately,
POSTs the report to the collection endpoint, shows the result for 3s and
finishes the activity (stays open if the upload failed). receiver.py gains
POST /report + GET /reports + GET /report/<name>. Verified end to end: one
adb command, report retrieved over HTTP, app closed itself.

Hand-rolled RFC 5389/5780 STUN client (stdlib only) that exercises the
server's stun-5780 capability: one socket, three binding requests
(primary, OTHER-ADDRESS alternate IP, CHANGE-REQUEST port) — the
comparison classifies NAT mapping and filtering behavior.
Verified on the OnePlus: local 10.13.102.124 -> mapped
178.191.120.247:53259 (behind_nat true), alternate address answered from
the server's second IP, mapping endpoint-independent, filtering
address/port-dependent. Finding nat.symmetric (medium) for the
P2P-hostile case.
Two real bugs found by running it: port preservation was misread as "no
NAT" (compare addresses, not ports), and an unbound socket reports the
wildcard local address (resolve via a throwaway connected socket).

Resolves the server's canary zone through the platform resolver and
compares against the spec-frozen ground truth (probe-protocol §6.1):
reference records detect answers rewritten in flight, and a per-run nonce
name (uncacheable) proves the query reached the authoritative server.
Findings: dns.answer_rewritten (high), dns.authoritative_unreachable
(medium).
Verified on the OnePlus against the deployed fmr zone: 4/4 reference
records matched exactly, nonce name answered 192.0.2.21 with
reached_authoritative=true. First full client<->server measurement loop
on real hardware; report archived.

generate_204 endpoints and check for HTTP 204 No Content.
- HTTPS https://www.google.com/generate_204 == 204 -> validated internet
- HTTP http://connectivitycheck.gstatic.com/generate_204: 204 -> clean;
an unfollowed 3xx or a 200-with-body -> captive portal (Location captured)
- both fail -> no_internet
Per-network verdicts (bound via Network.openConnection), redirects not

Ports the prober's validated Shizuku tier: AIDL UserService, the build-4
dual-path ShizukuRunner (UserService bind where it works, legacy
newProcess reflection fallback where it doesn't — exec_path records
which), and ShizukuProbe running the shell command battery, emitting a
shizuku-tier link.ip_monitor Test with per-device dumps as evidence.
Self-degrades to UNSUPPORTED without Shizuku.
Wired into RunViewModel (sets tiers.shizuku); app APK assembles. On-device

dropped the tablet, phone debugging off). Expect UserService on OnePlus,

First assembling build of the production app. Android toolchain mirrors
the prober (AGP 9 built-in Kotlin; applying kotlin.android too
double-registers the kotlin extension — the one gotcha).
core-probe (Android lib): Probe→core-measurement Test abstraction;
NetworkInventory (LinkProperties→networks[]), LinkSnapshotProbe,
per-network IcmpProbe (ported from the prober's validated logic).
app (Compose): RunViewModel orchestrates probes into a MeasurementDocument
with a §7.3 summary + first-pass findings; UI renders traffic lights,
networks, tests, findings; JSON export. Rotation-safe (ViewModel).
App-tier only; server-facing (core-engine) + Shizuku are additive
follow-ups. Debug APK 9.5 MB, assembles clean.
