- Code: GPL-3.0-or-later (LICENSE, SPDX headers on all .kt/.aidl). Specs in docs/: CC-BY-4.0 (docs/LICENSE). Rationale in build-status.md; server decided GPL (not AGPL). - Root README for the public repo. - web/: Cloudflare Worker site for echo-lot.app. /apk resolves the newest APK from the Gitea latest-release API at request time (edge-cached 5 min), so tagging a release is the only publish step. /fdroid, /source, and a manual DOWNLOAD_URL fallback are wrangler vars. - .gitea/workflows/release.yml: tag-driven (v*) signed semver APK builds for the future production app in echolot-app/. Parked; the prober is deliberately not CI-built. - Fix UserService.kt: drop the explicit secondary constructor that conflicted with the implicit primary (never compiled before — first local build caught it). Prober now builds: :app:assembleDebug OK. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Echolot Capability Prober
|
|
|
|
A throwaway diagnostic app that runs the borderline **no-root** operations from the Echolot
|
|
feasibility matrix on a **real device** and reports what actually works on that Android build.
|
|
Its job is to turn "should work / needs verification" spec notes into observed facts before the
|
|
production app hardens around them. Several probes naturally evolve into the tier-detection code
|
|
the real app needs anyway.
|
|
|
|
Package / appId: `app.echo_lot.prober` (derived from the echo-lot.app domain; hyphen → underscore
|
|
because Android application IDs and Java packages cannot contain hyphens).
|
|
|
|
## What it probes
|
|
|
|
| Probe | Question it answers | Expected result |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `link.snapshot` | What does `LinkProperties` expose per active network? | SUPPORTED |
|
|
| `icmp.ping4` / `icmp.ping6` | Does the unprivileged ICMP datagram socket work? | SUPPORTED (no root needed) |
|
|
| `sockopt.matrix` | Are IP_TTL, IP_TOS, IP_RECVERR, IP_MTU_DISCOVER accepted? | SUPPORTED / PARTIAL |
|
|
| `trace.errqueue_reachable` | Is errqueue traceroute reachable from the Os API? | likely PARTIAL → needs a small native shim |
|
|
| `multinetwork.request_and_bind` | Can we hold + bind Wi-Fi / cellular / ethernet concurrently? | SUPPORTED for links present now |
|
|
| `local.mdns_discover` | Does multicast reception / mDNS work with a MulticastLock? | SUPPORTED |
|
|
| `peer.ble_advertise` | Can this chipset advertise BLE (peer-mode channel)? | device-dependent |
|
|
| `shizuku.command_battery` | Does the Shizuku shell tier return neighbor table, RA routes, DHCP logs? | SUPPORTED if Shizuku running |
|
|
|
|
Each result carries a **verdict** (SUPPORTED / PARTIAL / UNSUPPORTED / INCONCLUSIVE / ERROR),
|
|
a one-line summary, and raw **evidence** (sockopt return codes, addresses, timings, and the actual
|
|
dump excerpts from the Shizuku commands — capturing the per-device format the real parsers must
|
|
handle). Export the whole run as JSON with the Export button and share it anywhere.
|
|
|
|
## Building
|
|
|
|
Needs Android Studio (Koala or newer) or a local Android SDK; **this repo was scaffolded without
|
|
network access to Google's Maven, so dependencies download on your first local build.**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
# Point the build at your SDK (or let Android Studio create local.properties):
|
|
echo "sdk.dir=/path/to/Android/sdk" > local.properties
|
|
|
|
./gradlew :app:assembleDebug
|
|
./gradlew :app:installDebug # with a device/emulator attached
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The debug APK lands in `app/build/outputs/apk/debug/`.
|
|
|
|
## Using the Shizuku tier
|
|
|
|
1. Install [Shizuku](https://shizuku.rikka.app/) and start it via **wireless ADB pairing** (no root).
|
|
2. Launch the prober, tap **Run all probes**. The Shizuku probe requests permission on first use.
|
|
3. If Shizuku isn't running the probe reports INCONCLUSIVE (everything else still runs).
|
|
|
|
## Notes / known gaps
|
|
|
|
- Errqueue traceroute (`MSG_ERRQUEUE` recvmsg + cmsg parse) is expected to need a native C-over-JNI
|
|
shim; this prober only confirms the sockopts + call-path availability. Wiring the shim is the
|
|
next spike if the verdict is PARTIAL.
|
|
- Multi-network probe can only bind transports physically present at run time. To exercise USB
|
|
ethernet, attach an adapter first.
|
|
- BLE advertising support is genuinely chipset-dependent; a UNSUPPORTED here is a real finding.

## License
|
|
|
|
GPL-3.0-or-later, like the rest of the Echolot code — see [`../LICENSE`](../LICENSE). The specs in
|
|
[`../docs/`](../docs/) are CC-BY-4.0.
|
|
|
|
## Relationship to the specs
|
|
|
|
Result IDs mirror the `measurement-schema.md` test-type registry where one exists, and the JSON
|
|
report shape is a stripped-down cousin of the full measurement document. The specs live in
|
|
[`../docs/`](../docs/) — `feature-catalog-and-feasibility.md`, `measurement-schema.md`,
|
|
`probe-protocol.md`.
