JMR-devandClaude Opus 4.8 042b50116c build(jacoco): scope the fail-closed encryption UI out of the JVM coverage surface (#359)
CacheEncryptionGate.kt (the gate composable, blank cover, error screen, and ephemeral
report-review screen added for #359) is pure Compose render code, structurally
unreachable from a JVM unit test the same way every other Screen file in
jacocoNonJvmTestableSurface is. Left in scope, it dragged the whole-app line ratio to
0.78, just under the 0.79 no-regression floor.

Excluded it via "**/CacheEncryptionGateKt*" rather than the usual bare
"**/CacheEncryptionGate*" pattern this list otherwise uses, because
CacheEncryptionGateViewModel is named with "CacheEncryptionGate" as a literal
prefix - the bare wildcard would also have swallowed the already JVM-tested,
94%-covered ViewModel and its sealed CacheEncryptionGateState. CacheEncryptionGateViewModel
and CacheEncryptionUnavailableException stay in scope unchanged.

Verified locally: testDebugUnitTest + jacocoTestCoverageVerification now pass, with
the line ratio recovered to about 0.807 (5,044 covered / 6,249 total lines) - the
same 5,044 covered lines as before, just a smaller, honestly-JVM-testable denominator.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 4.8 bfe5d46654 fix(security): fail closed on cache-encryption load failure with an error gate (#359)
Reworks #367. When SQLCipher native library loading fails while the opt-in
encrypted cache is enabled, the app previously degraded to a plaintext cache
(a silent fail-open that defeats the feature). Now it FAILS CLOSED.

DatabaseProvisioner raises a distinct CacheEncryptionUnavailableException
instead of degrading: it does NOT open plaintext, NOT wipe the on-disk
ciphertext, and NOT write the encryptCache setting. The throw is not
memoized, so a later launch re-attempts and recovers automatically if the
library loads.

A new CacheEncryptionGate wraps the app inside AppLockGateHost (so the
passphrase is already unlocked), probes prepareCache() before any DB-backed
screen composes, and on failure shows CacheEncryptionErrorScreen with the
exact message "Error - decryption could not proceed. Native decryption
library load failure." plus a "Report a problem" action. That action
generates an EPHEMERAL PII-free report via the existing DiagnosticsCollector
(never written to ReportStore, since encryption is unavailable in that
moment) for on-screen review and explicit Copy/Save; the copy says so.

The plaintext AccountDatabase tolerates the exception so accounts stay
readable for the error gate and the report. The encryptCache setting is now
written by exactly one caller: the user Settings toggle.

Tests: fail-closed raises the signal with no plaintext open / no wipe / no
setting write / not memoized; the gate VM resolves Ready vs Unavailable and
builds the ephemeral report; an instrumented error-screen UI test and an
AccountDatabase-resilience instrumented test.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 4.8 551a2df66f feat(security): back cache-key Keystore keys with StrongBox, fall back to TEE (#359)
Bind the non-exportable AES-256-GCM keys that seal the SQLCipher cache
passphrase to the hardware StrongBox secure element when the device has
one. Applied in the single shared place, AesGcmKeystoreCipher, so it
covers both the master (KeystoreCrypto) and auth-bound (DatabaseKeyCipher)
keys.

Devices without StrongBox throw StrongBoxUnavailableException at
KeyGenerator.generateKey(); a new generate-with-fallback path catches it
and regenerates a TEE-backed key so key creation still succeeds
everywhere. Guarded on API 28+ (minSdk is 29). Framing, seal/unseal, and
the missing-key policies are unchanged; the passphrase is still never
plaintext at rest and never logged.

Adds a JVM regression test for the StrongBox->TEE fallback via the
existing test seams (existingKey / a new generateKey seam).

JMR-devandClaude Opus 4.8 921681812c fix(data): degrade encrypted cache to plaintext on SQLCipher native-load failure
On Android 15+ / SDK 37 devices with 16 KB memory pages (e.g. Pixel 10 Pro XL,
and the API-37 `google_apis_ps16k` emulator image), a native `.so` not aligned
for 16 KB pages fails to load with `UnsatisfiedLinkError` at
`SQLiteConnection.nativeOpen`. With the opt-in SQLCipher encrypted cache on, this
crashed the app on every cold start (issue #359, x4 on-device) instead of
degrading, and encryption silently never applied.

Fix: DatabaseProvisioner's encryption gate now catches `LinkageError`
(UnsatisfiedLinkError and related native-link failures) when opening/converting
the encrypted cache and degrades cleanly instead of propagating the crash — it
turns `encryptCache` off (so the next start does not re-attempt and re-wipe),
clears any on-disk ciphertext the plaintext framework opener cannot parse
(resetting its now-useless seals), and opens the cache unencrypted. The cache is
a re-syncable copy of server mail, so clearing it loses nothing that cannot be
re-fetched. PII-free AppLog.w breadcrumb on the degrade path.

Dependency: no bump needed or available. The repo already pins the newest
SQLCipher it references, `net.zetetic:sqlcipher-android:4.16.0`, which
docs/play-compliance.md certifies (ELF p_align = 0x4000) as 16 KB-aligned on
every ABI; SQLCipher has shipped 16 KB-aligned binaries since well before it, and
the other two bundled `.so` files (Compose graphics-path, DataStore
shared-counter) are already 16 KB-aligned per that doc. The graceful-degrade
catch is therefore the actionable fix.

Tests:
- Unit (DatabaseProvisionerTest): a simulated native-load failure degrades to a
  plaintext open without crashing, turns encryptCache off, and wipes + reseals an
  already-encrypted cache.
- Instrumented (DatabaseProvisionerInstrumentedTest): a fresh encrypt-on start
  loads the real SQLCipher native library and opens the keyed cache — CI's API-37
  `google_apis_ps16k` 16 KB job exercises the actual `.so` load, catching any
  future 16 KB-alignment regression.
