mrambossekandClaude Opus 5 7a5004f293 server: a non-admin account can manage its own uploads
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.

echolot — measure, don't guess

Echolot

Free software for detecting and debugging local network issues from an Android phone — built for people who actually know what a neighbor table is.

Most "wifi analyzer" apps show you signal bars. Echolot aims at the layer where home and office networks actually break: duplicate DHCP servers, broken IPv6 RAs, MTU black holes, NAT64 weirdness, multicast that dies at the AP, DNS that answers differently than it should. It records what it observed, separates observation from interpretation, and exports the whole run so you can argue with it later.

Status: pre-release. The capability prober runs on real hardware; the production app and the probe server are not built yet.

Repository layout

docs/              design docs — the contract for everything below
echolot-prober/    capability prober: validates the no-root feasibility matrix on real devices

The Go probe server and the production app land here as siblings.

Design docs

The three specs are draft-complete and reviewed; treat them as the contract.

Doc What it defines
docs/feature-catalog-and-feasibility.md Full feature list + the no-root feasibility matrix
docs/measurement-schema.md Archived/exportable measurement JSON (observation vs finding, two-clock rule, anonymization)
docs/probe-protocol.md Client↔server wire protocol (pinned TLS control plane, binary UDP data plane, STUN, canary DNS)
docs/build-status.md Running log of decisions and next steps

Privilege tiers

Every result records which tier produced it:

  • app — no root, no special setup. The bulk of the functionality.
  • shizuku — ADB-shell privileges via wireless pairing, no root. Shipped in v1.
  • root — future optional module.

Licensing

Part License Why
All code (app, prober, server) GPL-3.0-or-later The value here is the platform-API research; copyleft keeps derivative apps free
docs/ (the specs) CC-BY-4.0 A wire protocol and a measurement format should be implementable by anyone, without license anxiety

Full texts: LICENSE (GPLv3) and docs/LICENSE (CC BY 4.0). Sources carry SPDX-License-Identifier headers.

If you want to build a compatible server or client, the protocol and schema docs are deliberately permissive — go ahead.
