Repository navigation
mosh as a per-server option, and the theme colours three screens were reading wrong - #24

Conversation
The headline is SFTP: a file browser for saved SSH servers, speaking the protocol directly over the bundled OpenSSH client so nothing needs to be installed and no separate sftp binary ships. Upload, download, search, permissions, symlinks and free space, with progress in bytes because the chunking happens on this side. Backup and restore now work on every distro. Three separate faults: - toybox tar has no case for a unix socket, so one socket in /run aborted the whole archive. The tree is now walked first and an explicit list is handed to tar with --no-recursion. - a rootfs ships files only root may read, and the app does not run as root, so /etc/shadow and friends were silently omitted from the backup. Owner bits are repaired before planning, and anything still unreadable is reported rather than dropped. - hard links are restored as independent copies. Arch and Manjaro carry several hundred in ca-certificates, link() failed with EPERM, and the restore stopped there. Void only appeared safe by coincidence. Restore is done in-process rather than by the device's tar, so the mode and mtime in the archive are applied. Without the mode every restored file came back 0644 and the distro could not execute anything. The terminal is themed like the rest of the app: a 259-entry palette derived from the theme, re-applied on attach and on every theme change, across all terminal views including split panes. The generated shell prompt no longer hard-codes a colour, so it follows the theme instead of going invisible in all but one of them. Distro logos on the install, home, settings and backup screens, with a lettered badge as the always-available fallback. Verified with 329 unit tests and lint clean apart from the three pre-existing Aligned16KB warnings. SFTP, backup and restore were exercised on device.
Records the proot-distro research this work depends on: - Modern proot-distro (v5.x) publishes zero release assets. It moved to pulling OCI images, so the shell builder that produced the tarballs RedTerm depends on was deleted from master. It survives at commit 5bd8f4f. - That commit's archive_rootfs flags already handle the hard links, mode-000 files and reproducibility concerns RedTerm hit from the other direction. - The plugin format (TARBALL_URL/TARBALL_SHA256/distro_setup) is already RedTerm's Distro model. - Licence is GPL-3.0 on both sides, so vendoring is clean. Also the two defects found by building rather than reading: --mtime does not give a reproducible archive because GNU tar records atime/ctime in pax headers, and upstream's permission repair selects directories that can already be read while widening 700/750 to 755. Phase 1 is built and boots under RedTerm's own libproot.so. Not published.
All four arches build and are byte-identical across two builds with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH unset. Two of the four boot under RedTerm's own libproot.so; the other two are verified at image level and their boot failures are traced to the harness rather than the images. Records the two harness traps, since both read like image faults: a 32-bit proot needs a low pid counter (the host's is past 65535, and it only shows up on arm), and qemu-user cannot satisfy ptrace(TRACEME) so proot cannot trace an x86_64 or i686 guest on this host.
The catalogue is no longer only what the APK ships with. RootfsIndex parses the published index, RootfsCatalog applies the cached copy synchronously at startup and refreshes on a background thread, and DistroRegistry.allDistros reads through an override. The built-in table stays as the fallback, so an install never depends on a fetch succeeding. Four rules, each with a test: - An entry with no sha256 is never resolved. The index exists so the bytes fetched are the bytes published, and an entry with no checksum cannot say so. - A distribution the registry has never heard of is not invented. It would need a description, a package manager, an install size and a first-start plan, and guessing gives an entry that installs and then behaves wrongly. - The index cannot widen the architectures on offer. It is a supply of newer images, not a new platform. - An unknown schema is refused outright, because half-reading a future format means guessing what its fields mean. Gentoo is the first distribution built by the rootfs-images project rather than by Termux, which has no Gentoo recipe. All four architectures, from the official dated stage3 autobuilds, on the openrc profile because proot cannot run systemd. Its brand colour is named rather than derived: the name-derived fallback landed at 4.40:1 and the badge test requires 4.5. 346 tests, 0 failures. Lint clean. Debug APK builds.
Records the Phase 5 research: Gentoo, NixOS and ARMtix are viable; CachyOS, EndeavourOS, mainline Artix, Deepin, Pardus and EOL CentOS are dropped, each with the reason. Two findings from it matter more than the list itself -- RedTerm's Arch aarch64 and arm images come from ArchLinuxARM, which publishes only -latest and no dated snapshots, so those two architectures have no reproducible upstream checksum at all. Also the eleven bugs that only surfaced by building rather than reading, and the test that patched its own fixture and so asserted the opposite of what it claimed.
Corrects the previous status. Records oci-unpack.sh and why upstream's docker pull approach cannot work for three of the four RHEL-family distributions, and that the 'Multiple archive files' error blamed on --acls/--xattrs was actually the -f in 'tar -xJpf' consuming '--acls' as the archive name.
…er generates rootfs Answers the question the rest of this document circles. v5 rewrote the tool in Python, removed the shell plugins, and installs by Docker reference; its notes say outright that proot-distro is no longer a provider of distributions. The shell builder at 5bd8f4f is the dead mechanism, which is why upstream publishes nothing after v4.34 and why RedTerm's pins are frozen. Records that its recommended-image list contained the answer for every distribution this repository failed to obtain by hand -- Arch, NixOS, Slackware and Manjaro x86_64 were each one skopeo pull away. Also corrects three earlier conclusions: Arch i686 is gone rather than unproven, ArchLinuxARM is reachable over HTTPS by digest, and NixOS was never blocked on finding a URL.
…an absent store path
…t that catches them
…d a mismatch
Two fixes for failures that were reported as something else.
## openSUSE had nowhere to write its solv file
Every refresh ended in:
Error building the cache:
Can't open solv-file: /var/cache/zypp/solv/repo-oss/solv
Skipping repository 'repo-oss (16.0)' because of the above error.
Could not refresh the repositories because of errors.
and then permanently, for everything the user wanted:
Package 'curl' is not available in your repositories.
No provider of 'git' found.
This script ran on every start and did:
rm -rf /var/cache/zypp/solv /var/cache/zypp/raw
mkdir -p /var/cache/zypp/solv /var/cache/zypp/raw /var/cache/zypp/packages
The deletion was the bug -- it ran after zypper built the cache and removed the
directory it had just resolved into -- but the mkdir was what made the tree exist.
Removing the deletion without keeping the mkdir left the image with no cache tree at
all, because distro-build/opensuse.sh deletes /var/cache/zypp at build time and
libzypp does not create the per-repository directory itself.
Now: create, never delete.
Also detaches each repo from its libzypp service. Every Leap .repo ends with
`service=openSUSE`, and libzypp namespaces a serviced repo as `service:alias`, so
the repo keeps the alias `openSUSE:repo-oss` however the section header and filename
are rewritten. That is why a session showed a clean `repo-oss (16.0)` display name
and `openSUSE:repo-oss/solv` in the same error.
## A download that produced nothing was reported as a SHA-256 mismatch
`sha256Of` returns "" only when the file does not exist, so an empty `got:` means
nothing was downloaded. The message said "SHA-256 mismatch against the current
release", which points at a corrupt download when the download is what failed, and
the real cause only reached the log.
…ver deletes it The existing test checked every half of "don't destroy the cache" and none of the "create the cache" half, which is how the regression shipped: removing the `rm -rf` from opensuseClean without keeping the `mkdir -p` left the script creating nothing, and the test passed. The image has no /var/cache/zypp at all, because distro-build/opensuse.sh removes it at build time and libzypp does not create the per-repository directory itself. So the missing mkdir is not cosmetic -- every refresh ends in Error building the cache: Can't open solv-file: /var/cache/zypp/solv/repo-oss/solv Skipping repository 'repo-oss (16.0)' because of the above error. followed permanently by "No provider of 'git' found" for everything. Verified this assertion can fail: changing the mkdir target makes opensuseCacheIsCreatedButNeverDestroyed fail by name.
staleLockRepair removed a lock left behind by a crashed apt or dpkg. pacman had the same failure mode and was not covered: error: failed to synchronize all databases (unable to lock database) pacman cannot recover from that -- /var/lib/pacman/db.lck has to be removed by hand -- so a session that hit it had no way forward short of knowing that. /var/lib/pacman/db.lck joins the list, and `pacman` joins the process names that mark the lock as genuinely in use, so a busy system is still left alone.
…n aliases
Rewriting the .repo files was never enough. /etc/zypp/services.d/openSUSE.service is
the source of truth:
[openSUSE]
enabled=1
autorefresh=1
url = dir:/usr/share/zypp/local/service/openSUSE
repo_4=openSUSE:repo-oss
autorefresh=1 means every zypper command re-runs the service and rewrites the .repo
files with the original aliases. So the header and filename rewrite survived exactly
until the next `zypper refresh`, which is what the device showed on every attempt:
Refreshing service 'openSUSE'.
Error building the cache:
Can't open solv-file: /var/cache/zypp/solv/openSUSE:repo-oss/solv
Could not refresh the repositories because of errors.
One repository briefly reported the clean alias `repo-oss` before the service restored
the colon, which is what made it look like the fix half-worked.
Removing the service leaves ordinary repos, whose alias is the one in their own
header, and nothing regenerates them. The service's local source directory goes with
it.
opensuseRemovesTheLibzyppServiceThatRegeneratesTheAliases covers this, and was
confirmed to fail when the removal is taken out.
`HookDir = /etc/pacman.d/hooks` does not do what it was believed to. The published
image carried exactly that, pointing at an empty directory, and all fourteen hooks ran
anyway:
( 1/14) Creating system user accounts...
Failed to load user database: Protocol driver not attached
error: command failed to execute correctly
pacman scans HookDir *and* /usr/share/libalpm/hooks. Deleting the files is the only
thing that works.
The earlier claim that this was verified came from a transaction that had failed on a
PGP signature before the hook stage was reached, so the probe hook's absence proved
nothing. That was the error to avoid, and it went into a PR as fact.
Doing it on every start rather than only in the build is what makes it hold: upgrading
systemd reinstalls all eleven, so a build-time-only fix comes back on the first
transaction after any upgrade. Nothing here can work under proot, and none of it is
needed -- no systemd runs in these sessions.
openSUSE's cache is now chmod 777 rather than u+w. The image creates it at build time
as root and a session runs as the app's own uid, so "owner-writable" is still a
directory the session cannot write. With the colon gone, that is the whole of what
remains:
Can't open solv-file: /var/cache/zypp/solv/repo-oss/solv
It is a cache; nothing in it is a secret.
pacmanDistrosRemoveTheSystemdHooksOnEveryStart covers the hooks.
…permissions Manjaro is reverted. It was working and is not in scope for this work. Its plan is byte-identical to f7edf93~1 again, and it is out of the hook-removal test. ## mkinitcpio: four initramfs images per upgrade (10/11) Updating linux initcpios... built four images, each ending in find: '/sys/devices': Permission denied ==> ERROR: Cannot acquire used modules. Unable to use autodetection. and a dozen "Possibly missing firmware" warnings per kernel. A phone never boots this initramfs -- proot boots nothing -- so it is pure cost on every upgrade. Added to the same removal as the systemd hooks. ## The install flattened every directory's mode fixupDirectoryPermissions chmod'd every directory in the rootfs to 0755. The reason it exists is real: Android does not always preserve the execute bit when unpacking, and a directory without it cannot be entered, so the rootfs looks broken. But one mode for everything destroyed what the distribution chose, and every later pacman transaction reported it: warning: directory permissions differ on /tmp/ filesystem: 755 package: 1777 warning: directory permissions differ on /root/ filesystem: 755 package: 750 /tmp stopped being world-writable and /root was loosened. It now ORs the owner bits in and changes nothing else: repairs what Android broke, leaves /tmp at 1777 and /root at 750.
Every launch printed
>>> Warning: could not set the pacman download command.
The step deleted the active XferCommand line and then substituted only the *commented*
ones. Images built since #14 carry a working XferCommand, so the delete removed it and
the substitution had nothing left to replace -- pacman silently fell back to its own
downloader.
It is now a conditional: rewrite only when nothing is set, which is Manjaro's case,
since its image does not set one.
Verified both ways against a real pacman.conf: with an active line it is left
untouched, without one the commented example is substituted.
ARMtix went from eleven hooks to eight, which looked like progress, and then:
warning: could not get file information for usr/share/libalpm/hooks/25-udev-hwdb.hook
warning: could not get file information for usr/share/libalpm/hooks/90-mkinitcpio-install.hook
Deleting the files leaves pacman's database claiming paths that are gone, so every
transaction that touches such a package prints one line per file. And it never held
anyway -- udev and mkinitcpio were themselves upgraded, which extracted the hooks
again after the startup step had removed them.
NoExtract is the only thing that works, because it keeps pacman from extracting them
and from claiming them. That is in the image (rootfs PR #22); nothing is needed here.
The test that asserted the app-side removal is gone with it. An assertion that cannot
hold is worse than no assertion.
The install path chmod'd every directory to 0755 as it created it, and reduced every file to "executable or not" -- it read entry.mode and then discarded it. Restore has always gone through TarExtractor, which preserves modes correctly; install had its own loop and it was the one that was wrong. That is the cause of what every Arch and ARMtix transaction reported: warning: directory permissions differ on /tmp/ filesystem: 755 package: 1777 warning: directory permissions differ on /root/ filesystem: 755 package: 750 The published images were correct throughout -- armtix-aarch64-rt-v1.0.0.tar.xz carries 1777 on /tmp, 2755 on its setgid directories and 750 on /root -- so no change to how the images are built could ever have fixed it, and several were tried. The extractor moves to RootfsInstallExtractor so it can be tested: Os.chmod and Os.symlink are not mocked off-device, so as a private method inside DistroInstaller its mode handling was permanently unverified. It keeps proot-distro's algorithm -- --preserve-permissions, and --delay-directory-restore for the directory ordering, because a directory recorded as 0555 cannot have children created inside it if its mode is applied on arrival. The mask is 0xFFF, which keeps setgid and sticky rather than dropping them. RootfsInstallExtractorTest packs a tree with real tar and asserts 1777, 2755, 750, 555, 700, 644, 600 and 755 individually, and asserts the ordering directly. Four of its six tests fail against the old code, which is the only reason to believe it: the damage was identical on every entry, so a tree that is uniformly wrong passes any check that only asks whether it is readable. The post-extract permission repair is deleted rather than narrowed. It existed only to undo this bug, and it could only ever agree with the flattening because it had no other mode to work from. openSUSE's startup script is reduced to making /var/cache/zypp writable. Tested natively against both our published image and termux/proot-distro's, whose repos.d files are byte-identical: zypper refresh succeeds in both with the stock configuration and builds /var/cache/zypp/solv/openSUSE:repo-oss/solv, the very path that was reported as impossible. A colon in an alias is not a fault, the openSUSE service populates the repositories rather than breaking them, and libzypp creates the per-repository cache directory itself. The alias rewrite, the service removal and RepoManager.db fixed nothing across three releases and cost the user repositories they could install from. The tests that asserted that theory are replaced with ones that assert the script reaches no repository or service path and leaves a real Leap .repo file byte-identical. Also bumps the Gradle wrapper to 9.8.1, clearing the last lint warning. Evidence and reproduction steps: docs/proot-distro-reference.md
CHANGELOG gains a v2.2.0 section in the existing style. It leads with the install
fix rather than the image work, because that is what a user sees: a fresh install
now keeps the distribution's own file modes, and the pacman "directory permissions
differ" warnings on Arch and ARMtix stop. It also says plainly that this applies at
extraction, so an existing install has to be deleted and reinstalled -- reinstalling
the app changes nothing.
README:
- Distro support credited termux/proot-distro. Images have come from this
project's own rootfs-images for a while, so that attribution was wrong, and the
Kali-is-an-exception paragraph described a path that is no longer taken.
- Twelve distributions were missing and the table had a "Status" column that said
"Working" on every row, which carries no information. It is now twenty rows,
alphabetical, with what first-time setup actually does for each -- mostly
nothing, because every image ships a working bash.
- Architecture support was one table in no particular order. It is now grouped
four, three, two, one, and every cell is checked against DistroRegistry by a
cross-check rather than by eye. Arch loses i686 because Arch dropped 32-bit.
- SFTP is documented as a home-screen tool. The Tools card mentioned SSH and
one-tap connect and never mentioned that Browse files is there.
AGENTS.md:
- The host was described as having no JDK, no Android SDK and no NDK, and
builds were stated to be impossible here. That is false: it is Ubuntu 26.04.1
on aarch64 with all three present, and test, lint and assembleDebug all run.
An agent that trusted the old note would tell the user a build could not be
verified when it can.
- Added what this host actually constrains: one core, no swap, and the failure
mode that comes from running a 1.5 GiB image build beside a Gradle daemon.
- Added the rule that an image is verified out of the tarball before it is
published, including that a mode read after a non-root extraction reflects
your umask and not the image.
Two stale comments in DistroSetup.kt, both found while checking what the README
could honestly claim: one said Arch runs -Syu at first start when it has not for
some time, and one described Adelie and Chimera as having their own plan when they
fall through to the empty one. Comments must stay true.
356 tests pass, lint reports 0 errors and the 3 pre-existing Aligned16KB warnings.
A session on a device prints, for every repository, on every zypper call: Error building the cache: Can't open solv-file: /var/cache/zypp/solv/openSUSE:repo-oss/solv Skipping repository 'repo-oss (16.0)' because of the above error. and then, for everything the user wanted: Package 'curl' is not available in your repositories. No provider of 'git' found. libzypp creates those directories itself when it can write to them. Run natively as root it always can, and against the same image it succeeds. As the app's own uid under proot it cannot, and zypper names the missing solv file rather than the failed mkdir, which is why this looked like a configuration fault for so long. So the setup creates them itself, from each repository's own section header, which is the name the error already quotes, and leaves the tree writable. Reading a repository's header to learn its alias is fine; the invariant this keeps is that the setup never writes to repository configuration. Rewriting those headers was tried across three releases and removed: the colon is not the fault, and libzypp names a colon-named directory without complaint when it can write to it at all.
DistroRegistry carries a compiled-in fallback table so an offline device still installs something, and applyIndex overrides it when the published index is fetched. The fallback had drifted: armtix, both openSUSE architectures and all three Arch architectures held the hashes of images published before the recipe fixes, while the assets those hashes pointed at had since been replaced. That is not a cosmetic drift. A device that cannot reach the index downloads the current asset and compares it against a stale hash, gets a mismatch, and cannot install -- the fallback exists precisely for the case where the network is the thing that failed. All 55 entries now match the published index. The reason the drift went unnoticed is that the table only matters offline, which is exactly when nobody checks it.
`applyMode` swallowed every failure. When a mode is not applied the entry keeps whatever `mkdirs()` gave it, which on Android is 0775 under the app's umask, and nothing anywhere says so. The only symptom arrives several sessions later, from a package manager, naming a directory and nothing else: warning: directory permissions differ on /tmp/ filesystem: 775 package: 1777 775 is not a mode anything chose. It is mkdir's default surviving a chmod that never took effect, which is exactly what an empty catch looks like from the other end. On a device, /tmp came out drwxrwxr-x instead of drwxrwxrwt and pacman has been correctly reporting it on every transaction since. `RootfsInstallExtractor.modeFailures` now records the path, the mode it wanted and the exception, and the installer writes the count and the first few to the app log, which the user can copy out of Settings. A failure nobody can read is a failure nobody can fix. The install still completes -- content matters more than one mode -- but it is no longer silent about which entries are wrong. Also bumps versionName to 2.2.0, so an installed build can be identified at all. Every APK so far has said 2.1.0, which made "did you install the new one" unanswerable from the device.
A session could not install anything: Error building the cache: Can't open solv-file: /var/cache/zypp/solv/openSUSE:repo-oss/solv Skipping repository 'repo-oss (16.0)' because of the above error. No provider of 'git-core' found. The conclusion that this was not the colon came from running `zypper refresh` natively as root, where a directory can always be created. That test cannot distinguish a colon that is harmless from one that is not, and it was used to justify removing the fix. openSUSE is the only distribution here whose cache path contains a colon, and the only one that cannot install a package. Its metadata for those same repositories lands in /var/cache/zypp/raw/<alias> successfully; only the solv half fails. So the colon goes in the alias, which is the section header, and the `service=` line goes with it, because the service rewrites the headers on every invocation and puts the colon straight back -- which is why an earlier attempt looked like it did nothing. This is the narrow version. The earlier one also renamed the repository files, deleted openSUSE.service, removed RepoManager.db and dropped the openh264, source and debug repositories, which fixed nothing and cost the user distributions they could install from. None of that is done here: the service file stays, RepoManager.db stays, no file is renamed, every repository survives. https is also applied, so an install that predates the image fix corrects itself on the next start. Verified in a chroot against the published image, not reasoned about: after this script, two consecutive `zypper refresh` runs both succeed, the alias stays colon-free across both, and `zypper search --match-exact git-core` finds the package. That is the exact query that used to report "No provider found". The root-context test is what misled this, so it is now recorded in the test as the reason the narrow change is right rather than the reason the old one was removed.
… the themes Every screen this app builds in code was reading its text from `android:attr/textColorPrimary`, which none of the ten themes declares. The hardcoded fallback was used on all of them, and that fallback was the app's *background* rather than its text colour, so every label on every card was near-black on a near-black card on all nine dark themes. `accentColor` made the same mistake with `android:attr/colorAccent`, which left the `mosh` chip and "protected by a passphrase" unreadable while everything around them was fine. All ten themes declare `extraKeysText` and `colorPrimary` outright, so the screens now read what the theme actually chose: `extraKeysText` for text on a card, and a new `accentColor` attribute set in every theme for emphasis. ## The light theme's accent was fine as a button and unreadable as a label An accent used for an 11sp chip label has to clear 4.5:1 against the card. The light theme's primary was 2.53:1 against its own card -- correct for a filled button with white text, invisible as a chip. It has its own accent now, the same blue a few steps darker, at 4.64:1. `colorPrimary` is untouched, so nothing else about that theme moves. `ThemeContrastTest` resolves each theme's `@color/...` references rather than guessing a prefix from the theme's name, which is what lets the Custom theme through: it declares the default theme's colours and is overridden at runtime, so there is no `custom_extra_keys_bg` to look up. ## Cards Connect is a filled primary button and the rest stay outlined -- five identical buttons gave no answer to which one you came for, and two primaries is the same as none. Its label is picked by measured contrast against the accent rather than assumed white. The key chip and the mosh chip were both accent-coloured, so one card had two accent chips and neither read as the status it is. Accent now means one thing on a card: this server behaves differently. A non-default port printed its port twice; "Change passphrase" appeared on unprotected keys, where the dialog asks for a current passphrase that does not exist and can only fail. ## Two things that were traps rather than polish The server edit dialog holds about twenty views and never scrolled, so the tail of it could fall off a short screen with no way to reach it. Adding the mosh option made that likelier rather than causing it. The connecting overlay covered the toolbar with no way out, and a mosh bootstrap is a blocking ssh call that cannot be usefully interrupted. It has a Cancel that abandons the result rather than the attempt. ## Dynamic is the default theme `"amoled"` was typed into four places independently, which is a default that will eventually be changed in three of them; there is one constant now. Only installs that have never chosen a theme see this -- a stored preference always wins -- and auto-night still forces amoled, which is the point of it. Its terminal palette took its text from `system_neutral1_100` beside a `neutral1_1000` background. That ramp runs light to dark, so that is black on black. Harmless while `dynamic` was something a user picked deliberately, which is the only reason it went unnoticed; as the default it would have been the first thing a new install saw. The text now comes from the light end of the ramp. 435 tests; lint clean apart from the three pre-existing Aligned16KB warnings.
main had taken the v2.2.0 release through PR #21 while this branch was working, so the two histories had diverged and four files conflicted. Two were ours to decide: - versionName stays 2.3.0. The changelog on this branch carries a v2.3.0 section and the merge would otherwise have shipped 2.3.0's features under 2.2.0's number. - verifyMoshNative() stays. main simply never had the line, so there was nothing to choose between; the conflict was its neighbour changing. The other two resolved to keep everything: - CHANGELOG gained the v2.3.0 section above v2.2.0, both intact. - AGENTS.md gained twelve sections on mosh and lost none of main's -- checked by comparing section headings on both sides rather than by assuming a clean auto-merge. 435 tests; lint clean apart from the three pre-existing Aligned16KB warnings.

progress line was intentionally removed because connection status is the app’s
responsibility. Align the notes with the behavior in say() and the
heard_from_server branch, which do not print a status line.
Review comments at @app/src/main/java/com/redtermapp/mosh/MoshBootstrap.kt:
- Around line 143-147: Update the SshClient.run call in MoshBootstrap.launch to
pass the askpass environment created with the current secret, so SSH can
authenticate with passphrase-protected keys and password-based servers.
- Around line 179-196: Update the exit-code handling in MoshBootstrap’s classify
flow so only SSH’s 255 status indicates a credential refusal; treat other
non-zero statuses as remote mosh-server failures. In SshKeyAuthenticator, retain
and return the last non-credential Outcome.Unavailable instead of replacing it
with the generic rejection message, and correct the KDoc for
anotherCredentialCouldHelp to describe its actual behavior.
Review comments at @app/src/main/java/com/redtermapp/ui/TerminalActivity.kt:
- Around line 1694-1702: Update the MOSH_EXIT_NO_REPLY path in the session-exit
flow so it calls explainMoshNoReply without returning early; let the remaining
cleanup and UI refresh steps run, and suppress only finish() while the dialog is
open.
Review comments at @app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml:
- Line 339: Update the mosh_no_reply string to say the user can open the server
over SSH instead, rather than implying an SSH session has already been opened.
Review comments at @native/build-mosh.sh:
- Line 44: Update the WORK and JOBS environment-variable names in the build
script to use the documented REDTERM_* names, and replace the hardcoded
home-path fallback with the user’s cache directory, preferring XDG_CACHE_HOME
and otherwise using $HOME/.cache. Correct the REDUCTERM_MOSH_VERBOSE name in the
native client to REDTERM_MOSH_VERBOSE as well.
Review comments at @native/mosh_compat.h:
- Around line 14-15: Wrap the nl_langinfo declaration in mosh_compat.h with C++
linkage guards so C++ translation units use the same unmangled symbol defined by
mosh_compat.c, while preserving normal C compilation.
Review comments at @native/redterm_mosh_client.cpp:
- Around line 83-92: Make MoshSession::connected an atomic boolean so
worker-thread writes and main/JNI-thread reads are safe, and initialize
consecutive_errors to zero in the MoshSession constructor initializer list.
- Around line 305-331: Update mosh_session_input and mosh_session_resize to
enqueue input and resize actions under a mutex instead of mutating
Network::Transport on the caller thread. Drain and apply the queued actions on
the worker thread before network->tick(), keeping all transport state changes on
that thread.
- Around line 369-376: Update mosh_session_last_error to copy last_error into a
caller-supplied buffer while holding error_lock instead of returning a pointer
into mutable string storage. Update its callers, including nativeLastError, to

Review comments at @native/redterm_mosh.c:
- Around line 161-174: In the nativeStart failure path, update the JNI method
lookup and invocation on outError to use StringBuilder’s append(String) method

`DistroConfigInvariantsTest.everyGeneratedScriptIsValidShell` read its scripts out of
`build/distro-scripts/`, which `DistroSetupTest.writesEveryScriptForInspection` fills in
as a side effect of its own assertion. Nothing declares that dependency and no JUnit
facility enforces it.
It passed on every incremental build, because the files were still on disk from the
previous run, and failed on `./gradlew clean test` with
alpine was not generated for inspection
which names a missing file rather than the missing ordering, so the first reading is that
something stopped generating them.
The only reason it read a file at all is that `sh -n` needs a path. The rest of that class
generates in memory through `script()`, so it now writes what it is about to check. One
line, and it depends on nothing.
Verified three ways, which is the part that matters: the class alone on a clean tree, the
other class alone, and `clean test lint assembleDebug`.
435 tests; lint clean apart from the three pre-existing Aligned16KB warnings.
versionCode stayed at 5 through the whole v2.3.0 branch, so the release APK was identical from the package manager's point of view to the installed v2.2.0: Android refuses it as an update rather than offering an upgrade. The convention every earlier release followed is +1 per release (v1.0.3 -> 2, v1.0.4 -> 3, v2.1.0 -> 4, v2.2.0 -> 5), so v2.3.0 is 6. Verified in the built artifact, not the source file: aapt2 dump badging reports versionCode='6' versionName='2.3.0'.
`ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT` filters children by the MIME the provider reports, and providers report the same font under many names: `font/ttf` on the system picker, `application/x-font-ttf` or `application/font-sfnt` from third-party file managers, and plain `application/octet-stream` for anything a browser downloaded. `font/*` matched none of those on a real device, so every folder containing fonts opened looking empty — the folder stayed browsable, every file inside it was hidden, and no font could ever be selected. The `*/*` fallback looked like insurance and could never run: it lived inside the catch of `launch()`, which throws only when there is no picker at all, not when the picker opens fine and shows nothing. The import path was not protecting anything either — it copied whatever URI arrived and rewrote the extension to `.ttf`/`.otf`. So the filter only hid files. The picker now opens unfiltered, and what arrives is validated instead, by the display name the provider records through `OpenableColumns` — a document URI's lastPathSegment is a provider id on anything but the common local storage provider, so it was never a trustworthy name. A non-font pick is named in the toast rather than imported as one, a partially successful multi-select says what was skipped, and `ttc`/`otc` collections are accepted where the old import would have rewritten them to `.ttf`. Import failures are logged now instead of vanishing into a generic toast. The rule lives in `util/FontImport.kt` as a pure function, tested directly — it is the one thing standing between the user and a font they can actually select. Also answered from the same report: repackaging a shipped APK with apktool is not a supported workflow here — releases are built from source, and the `$avd_*` drawables aapt2 rejects in a decoded tree are AGP artifacts that do not exist in ours. 441 tests; lint clean apart from the three pre-existing Aligned16KB warnings.

Imported .ttc and .otc fonts are accepted but never listed.
FontImport.isSupportedFontFile accepts ttf, otf, ttc and otc. customFontFiles() lists only .ttf and .otf files, and importFont keeps a .ttc or .otc name as the copied file name. A user who imports coptic.ttc therefore sees a success toast. The font then does not appear in the list or the spinner. The file stays in filesDir/fonts with no way to remove it.
Pick one of these fixes:
- Remove
ttcandotcfromFontImport.EXTENSIONSand the related test. - Extend
customFontFiles()(SettingsActivity and TerminalActivity) andfontDisplayNameto include them. Verify that the terminal typeface loader supports collections first.

The askpass environment was never attached to the bootstrap's ssh run. buildCommand drops BatchMode for a held secret, so ssh asked a question - a passphrase or a password - and had no way to hear the answer: no terminal, no helper. Every passphrase-protected key and every password server exited 255 into the SSH fallback, and the secret the user had just typed was never used. SshAskpass.environment goes with every run that can omit BatchMode; the SFTP client and the connection test wired it, and the bootstrap now does too. The exit code told no one anything, and it was read as everything. A missing mosh-server is the remote shell exiting 127 - what `exec mosh-server new` leaves behind when the binary is not there - and ssh passes that through. The old check was `code != 0`, so "not installed" was reported as a refused credential and the authenticator re-asked passphrases for a key the server had already accepted, and tried every remaining key and the password, all to get the same answer more slowly. The exit-0 branch it reserved for "not installed" was all but dead. ssh's own failures - authentication among them - are exit 255, and only those mean another credential could help. And when authenticate still ended in Rejected after records of a non-credential failure, connect reported a generic "no SSH credential was accepted" - the reason the user needed was kept in the details instead of the message. It is captured from the attempt now, and shown. The KDoc on anotherCredentialCouldHelp said the opposite of what the code did, and now says what the code does. The caller changed mosh's transport while the worker read it. mosh's own client is single-threaded, so nothing there ever needed a lock; our shim splits the loop and left input on the caller. Pushing UserByte into the same deque tick() is diffing is a data race on every keystroke - undefined behavior that shows up as a corrupted diff or a crash during ordinary typing. Input and resizes are queued under a mutex now, the same shape the outbox already uses in the other direction, and the worker applies them between renders on the thread that owns the transport. Verified against a real mosh-server: a typed command round-trips through the queue and comes back echoed, and an endpoint that accepts but never replies still gives up with exit 4 and its message. The JNI failure report looked up a method StringBuilder does not have. set(String) is java.lang.StringBuffer's method; GetMethodID leaves a pending NoSuchMethodError behind, and that escapes MoshNative.start's UnsatisfiedLinkError catch - the path whose whole job is reporting a readable failure crashed instead of printing the message, on the one code path that exists to explain a failure. It is append(String), with pending exceptions cleared either way. The README equated "the client received nothing" with "no packet reached the server", which the client cannot know. Which direction dropped is not visible from the phone; the wording now says an unconfirmed return path and asks you to check both directions. Native clients and libraries rebuilt for all four ABIs. The underlying mosh libraries came from cache; only our objects relinked. 443 tests; lint clean apart from the three pre-existing Aligned16KB warnings.
… too Only mosh ever got the overlay, because only mosh's bootstrap was slow enough to notice. A plain ssh session resolves keys, writes a launcher and handshakes between the tap and the first frame with nothing on screen, and the SFTP browser's first listing opened a full ssh connection in front of an empty list that read as an empty folder. One shared overlay now covers all three.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Stop authentication when an attempt returns Attempt.Other. The loop still tries more keys and the password after a key is accepted.
This change keeps the right reason for a Rejected result. SshKeyAuthenticator.authenticate still does not return when an attempt is Attempt.Other. It moves on to every remaining key and then to the password.
Take an Auth.Any server with no mosh-server installed:
- Key 1 authenticates, and the remote shell exits 127. The result is
Other. - The loop runs the password attempt with an empty secret. With
BatchMode=yes, ssh exits 255, and the attempt becomesRefused. held.isEmpty()is true, soSshPasswordPrompt.requestBlockingasks the user for a password. The server already accepted a key.
The same thing happens with a passphrase prompt when a later key is refused. Each extra attempt can also take up to ConnectTimeout=20 seconds before the SSH fallback starts. The KDoc at Lines 39-44 says a retry "produces the same answer more slowly". That is what the loop does, and that is the problem.
Attempt.Other is documented as "Trying another credential would not help", so the authenticator should stop on it. Add a result for that case, or return Rejected right away, and keep nonCredentialReason as it is.
🐛 Proposed fix (SshKeyAuthenticator.kt)
// in the key loop, after the possible passphrase retry:
if (outcome is Attempt.Ok) return Result.Connected(outcome.value)
detail = detailOf(outcome)
if (outcome is Attempt.Other) return Result.Rejected(detail, tries)
// and the same check after the password attemptThis is the part of the earlier review comment on Attempt.Other looping that has not been fixed yet.

…d answer Two credentials could fail without ever offering their question: a prompt dismissed once was recorded in process-wide state, and a phrase held in memory read as proof that no question could help. A refusal now settles it against the key file itself — ssh-keygen reads an open key with an empty passphrase and refuses an encrypted one — so an open key is never asked about and an encrypted key is asked about on every connection attempt.

The connecting overlay used to end when the session process started, but the slow part of an ssh connect - TCP, key exchange, authentication - runs after that, on a blank terminal. The overlay now outlives the attach and the session's first drawn output ends it, the same signal mosh and SFTP overlays end on; a 30s cap covers a connect that never produces output, and handleSessionFinished clears the wait when the session dies without a line. Cancel during the wait now also finishes the watched session, and attemptAbandoned resets on every attempt, since a cancelled wait has no later callback that would consume it and its stale value was discarding the next attempt's prepared session. Mosh's ssh fallbacks get the same wait; a successful mosh attach keeps its immediate hide because the client prints its own connecting status.

- Around line 1883-1887: In the new connection-attempt initialization near
attemptAbandoned, call stopConnectWatch() immediately after resetting
attemptAbandoned and before showing the new connecting overlay, ensuring any
prior SSH session watch is cleared.
- Around line 1890-1895: Update the connect-watch cancellation path to mark the
watched session as deliberately closed before calling finishIfRunning. In the
connectWatchSession cancellation block, use sessionModel.descriptorFor(watched)
and add the descriptor ID to deliberatelyClosed before
watched.finishIfRunning(), preserving the existing stopConnectWatch flow.

The test reported its result through AlertDialog.setMessage: not selectable, not scrollable, and dismissed on OK - so a failure carrying several hundred characters of ssh's own trace could leave the screen without ever leaving the phone. It now goes through ToolOutputDialog, which renders the same words selectable, scrollable and monospaced.
…chine Three things the result card got wrong at once. Long-press selection never worked in ToolOutputDialog: it set ScrollingMovementMethod after setTextIsSelectable, overwriting the movement method selection needs. Selectable is set last now and no movement method of our own - the NestedScrollView scrolls - and a Copy button beside the text puts the whole result on the clipboard in one tap, no selection required. A success printed the same -v trace a failure does, which reads as something having gone wrong when the opposite is true. The success card is now the method, the key used and the server's version banner; the trace stays on the failure card, minus the load_hostkeys lines naming the build machine's compiled-in sysconfdir, which can never exist on a device and say nothing about the connection. The passphrase hint appeared on a success claiming the check can only pass for a key without one - after one that had just passed with a passphrase key. It appears on a refusal now, and names both things a refusal can mean. The known follow-up for removing the baked path at its source is written down in AGENTS.md.
The clean-path configure flags do not belong mid-bugfix: the shipped binaries were built with the work-directory paths, and changing the recipe before a rebuild runs makes the script disagree with every binary in assets/. The recipe change goes in with the rebuild that uses it; AGENTS.md now records the right flags as something to apply then, rather than claiming they are already there.
…rompt an open key spent, cancel is not a failure Five review findings, all verified against the code before fixing. hasConnection read connectionLock - the lock withConnection holds for the whole ssh dial and every transfer - on the main thread, so a tap that started a load could freeze behind a running transfer. connection is @volatile and the getter takes no lock; no second hand-maintained flag, which is a copy waiting to drift. One attemptAbandoned boolean could not tell attempts apart: a stalled attempt cancelled by the user went on to pass the reset flag a newer attempt began. showConnecting now returns a generation token, Cancel invalidates only its own token, and a worker attaches only when its token is still the newest - stale workers discard without touching the newer attempt's overlay. The credential loop spent its one ask on a refused OPEN key - the asker answers NotNeeded without showing anything - so an encrypted key later in the list was never asked and a server accepting it rejected the connection. ask returns Prompt.NotNeeded or Prompt.Answered, and only Answered sets the flag; the open-key-then-encrypted-key sequence is a test now. Cancelling during the attach-wait killed the watched session, which arrived as status -9 and a failure dialog for the cancel just chosen; the watched session is recorded in deliberatelyClosed first. And a new attempt stops the previous wait before showing, so an earlier session's first output cannot end the newer overlay.
- handleSessionFinished runs the full close bookkeeping on the no-reply path and skips only finish(), so drawer rows and the widget cannot go stale behind the dialog; the dialog text no longer claims a session was opened (Cancel opens nothing). - A mosh session waits for the overlay like a plain ssh one: nothing draws its own connecting status any more, so the Ready path now ends on first output rather than hiding at bootstrap success. - The credential loop stops at the first Attempt.Other; its detail is the result, instead of the remaining keys and the password stage re-answering a question no credential can fix. - native: connected is atomic, consecutive_errors is initialised, and mosh_session_last_error copies the text out under the lock instead of returning an interior pointer the worker keeps invalidating. - FontImport no longer offers .ttc/.otc: the terminal lists and loads single-face fonts only, and a collection accepted at the picker was visible in no list and unremovable. - AGENTS.md status-line bullets rewritten to describe the removal.
Recording meant 'arm it now, capture the next session you open' — the target was whatever opened next, the filename was guessed before anything was recorded, and nothing said why a recording never happened. The Record button now captures the session it sits on: every drawn frame is snapshotted from the emulator's own TerminalRow data and re-encoded as plain ANSI (positioned rows, SGR deltas), so what the session drew is what replays — the RecordingPlayerActivity format as it already stands. FrameRecorder owns the file handle and the byte counts; SessionRecorder owns the directory and the naming; TerminalBackend gained onFrame so one snapshot is taken per Choreographer frame. A recording that ends without frames is deleted rather than kept as a mirage, and both ends report through AppLog. Also bumps the Gradle wrapper to 9.8.2: lint's version advisory had joined the build, and the gate allows no warning beyond the three Aligned16KB ones.
The replay view attached its session and set neither size nor typeface, so its first layout read TerminalView's null renderer — the mosh crash again, this time with no async needed. The player now sets both before the attach and applies the theme's palette after it, so a recording replays in the colours it was made with. Font and palette helpers moved into TerminalTheming so every terminal surface shares one copy.
updateSize() calls the view client's onEmulatorSet() with no guard, so with the renderer fixed the player crashed one call deeper on the next unguarded pluggable — the same shape of bug, one layer in. The player now installs its own client beside the font, answering every question the library asks with default behaviour, and responding to pinch by resizing the replay font the way the session terminal does.
Feeding the file through a pty made playback depend on whichever stty vocabulary the device ships, and stty was also the session's single command — the child exited code 1 on '-icanon: unknown option' before a single frame was fed in, and the replay was a blank page that finished before it started. The pty existed only because TerminalView needs a TerminalSession; the emulator does not. TerminalEmulator parses escape sequences from a byte stream on its own and the library renderer draws it onto any canvas, so playback now feeds chunks of the file into a private emulator on a background thread — dressed exactly like a session's reader — paced, invalidated on the main thread. No process, no stty, nothing device-dependent in the middle.

Summary
Adds mosh as a per-server option for SSH connections, and fixes a set of theme and card defects found while building it.
A long-lived TCP connection dies when a phone changes networks, which it does constantly — WiFi to mobile data, a lift, a cell handover. mosh keeps no connection once the shell is up (it runs over UDP), so a session survives those. The protocol is mosh's own, built from mosh 1.4.0's libraries and shipped as a per-ABI native client for all four architectures, the same way the bundled
sshbinary already ships.This also carries v2.2.0's history:
maintook that release through PR #21 while this branch was working, and the two had diverged.mainis merged in; the three commits below sit on top of it.Changes
mosh
Options → Use mosh instead of SSH, when it is available, with a hint naming what it needs and what happens if it cannot start.mosh-serveris missing, the UDP port is blocked, or the device's network will not carry UDP, the session opens over SSH and says why — a dialog offering to keep asking for mosh or to stop asking for this server.⋮ → Connection → Reconnect using mosh/ using SSH. Opens a new session and closes the old one — separate processes, so one cannot be converted into the other — and the server's saved preference moves with it.exitends the session.mosh-servercloses its UDP port, the next packet draws ICMP port-unreachable; several such failures in a row now means the far end is gone. One does not, because mosh tolerates loss silently.Theme colour, where the themes were never the problem
android:attr/textColorPrimary, which none of the ten themes declares, so a hardcoded fallback was used on all of them — and that fallback was the app's background rather than its text colour. Every label on every card was near-black on a near-black card on all nine dark themes. Now readsextraKeysText, which every theme declares.accentColormade the same mistake withandroid:attr/colorAccent, leaving themoshchip and "protected by a passphrase" unreadable. Now reads a newaccentColorattribute set in every theme.colorPrimaryis untouched.ThemeContrastTestresolves each theme's@color/...references directly, and asserts text-on-card, accent-on-card, and that every theme declares what the screens read.Cards
Two things that were traps rather than polish
Default theme
"amoled"had been typed into four places independently; there is one constant now.system_neutral1_100beside aneutral1_1000background — that ramp runs light to dark, so black on black. Harmless whiledynamicwas a deliberate choice, which is the only reason it went unnoticed; as the default it would have been the first thing a new install saw.How it was tested
./gradlew test lint assembleDebug— 435 tests, 0 failures; lint 0 errors plus the three pre-existingAligned16KBwarnings fromlibtermux.so.mosh-serveron the build host: typed command echoed by the remote shell, resize survived, and the failure paths checked against an endpoint that accepts but never replies.Known limits
