Stop telling people to stage the benchmark the one way it cannot be staged
RealMediaBenchmark's class KDoc said:
Populate with:
adb push <file>.mp4 /sdcard/Android/data/org.libremediaconverter/files/
Twelve lines below, the `samples` property KDoc -- on `get() = context.filesDir` -- says:
Internal storage, not the external files dir. Files placed in the external dir by
`adb push` or `adb shell cp` stay owned by the shell user, and the app then gets
EACCES trying to read them -- which presents as an unparseable input rather than a
permission problem.
Different directories, and the second exists specifically to explain why the first fails.
Anyone following the class KDoc stages files the benchmark cannot read, gets a skip, and
reads the skip as "not staged yet" -- the failure mode the property KDoc warns about, walked
into by the instruction in the same file.
The fix is not a corrected command. Restating the mechanism in a second place is what let
these drift, and a replacement command I have not executed would be the same defect with a
fresher date. The class KDoc now names [samples] as the single place that answers it.
Two things added that are checkable rather than remembered: the exact filenames the tests
look for, via [H264_SAMPLE] and [AV1_SAMPLE] -- the old text said `<file>.mp4`, so even the
right directory left you guessing -- and a note that the two skips every green E2E leg
reports are these.
Not claimed: that the benchmark misbehaves on CI. An earlier version of the ticket said so;
it was wrong, and measuring settled it -- both tests report SKIPPED on the gating legs, the
guards work, and "harmless in CI" is accurate. The failure that prompted the look is
Media3EngineTest, tracked as #102.
Closes #101.

Close the ANR dialog that was hiding every window from UiAutomator
SafPickerRoundTripTest began failing on gating legs at API 33, 34, 35 and 37 ninety minutes after it landed, on diffs that cannot cause it -- two KDoc comments, a MIME lookup table, a README paragraph. Every failure named the fixture root, so #93 was filed as a root-discovery race. It was not one, and finding out what it was took making the test say something else first. DocumentsUI was fine throughout: its own `ProvidersAccess: Matched roots` names the fixture authority five times inside the sixty seconds the test spent failing. What failed was reading any window at all -- 1095 `Retrieving node with selector` against 1095 `Node not found` on that leg, against 7 and 2 on the green one. So this now asks whether the app's OWN window is readable before it opens a picker, and prints the accessibility window list when it is not. That list named the culprit on the next occurrence: What it could see: com.android.systemui[type=3], android[type=3] No TYPE_APPLICATION window at all, on a device that had just logged `Displayed org.libremediaconverter/.MainActivity`. `android[type=3]` is system_server, and the same logcat says what it was holding, minutes before this class ran: ANR in com.google.android.apps.nexuslauncher Reason: Input dispatching timed out (Application does not have a focused window) Window{4ed8414 u0 Application Not Responding: com.google.android.apps.nexuslauncher} The launcher ANRs on a loaded runner emulator and the dialog it leaves behind never goes away. It is opaque and fullscreen, so AccessibilityWindowManager drops every application window beneath it -- which is how the app can be Displayed and unreadable at once, the contradiction that made this look like a SAF bug for six PRs. Present on both legs examined, API 33 and 34, at the failure timestamp. So the dialog is dismissed, by resource id rather than by localised button text, `aerr_wait` first so the app under it is left alone. Waking the device and rebuilding the UiAutomation connection are kept behind it and are recorded as measured non-causes rather than as fixes. A second PickActivity is not a remedy for this either, and that was measured: the failing leg opened one for the second test, in the same DocumentsUI process, and read as little from it. The whole pick is still retried, but for a smaller and separate claim -- a picker whose lists were built before their data arrived, which #80's node-level re-find cannot reach because it re-acquires a handle inside the one picker. One API 37 run failed a step deeper, on the file rather than the root. That shape has not been reproduced or diagnosed; the reopen covers it because a fresh pick re-walks from Recent, and the KDoc says that rather than claiming more. Two things the retry must not become. It must not tolerate an absent root, or #64's MIME mutation goes vacuous -- so a missing node is reported rather than retried away, and the mutation was re-run: both tests still fail, still with "the system picker never showed BySelector [TEXT='\QLMC R38 fixtures\E']", in 126 s and 127 s against the 1200 s wrapper timeout. And it must not decide the picker has closed by asking the same accessibility window list that is broken -- so the back presses are counted against Activity.hasWindowFocus, which comes from the framework. Each new path was forced on and measured rather than trusted: the injected-failure run showed the reopen recovering, with four OPEN_DOCUMENT starts for two tests; the rebuild was forced unconditionally and the suite stayed green, ruling out a connection that comes back without FLAG_RETRIEVE_INTERACTIVE_WINDOWS; the dialog dismissal was forced with no dialog present, ruling out a blind click breaking a healthy run. Dismissing a real ANR dialog has not been observed, because the fault has never reproduced locally. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Re-find the picker node when it goes stale, and re-measure API 37
CI found a flake this workstation could not, and fixing it overturned half of what
the previous commit recorded about API 37.
THE FLAKE. UiObject2 caches the AccessibilityNodeInfo it was found with, and
DocumentsUI is still settling when a node first appears -- its list rebinds, the
roots strip lays out, a window animates. If the node is replaced in that gap,
click() throws against the handle rather than missing the target:
androidx.test.uiautomator.StaleObjectException
at androidx.test.uiautomator.UiObject2.getAccessibilityNodeInfo(UiObject2.java:1042)
at androidx.test.uiautomator.UiObject2.click(UiObject2.java:526)
at SafPickerRoundTripTest.pickTheFixture(SafPickerRoundTripTest.kt:223)
It is not intermittent on a COLD emulator -- CI hit it on API 33, 34 and 35, every
one of them, on the first run. It never appeared here because the local emulator had
been warm for an hour. tapPickerNode now re-finds the node and taps again, three
attempts. That retries acquiring a handle to a node that has to be there anyway:
every attempt still goes through awaitPickerNode, which fails outright if it is
absent, so the MIME mutation's bite is untouched. Verified with `pm clear
com.google.android.documentsui` between runs, five for five green on API 34.
AND THE CORRECTION IT FORCED. The previous commit marked the whole class
@FailsOnEmulatorApi37 on the strength of two measured failures. One of them was
this bug. Re-measured with the fix, one method per fresh android-37.0 emulator:
thePickedInputSurvivesARealRotation INSTRUMENTATION_ABORTED:
System has crashed.
pickingAFileThroughTheSystemPickerFillsInTheFileCard PASSED
So a rotation, which rebuilds every surface at once, is what the gralloc mapper does
not survive; starting another app's activity is not. The marker moves to the one
method that earned it, and the picker test runs on the gating API 37 leg like
anything else. The workflow comment, run-e2e.sh and the doc all say that now.
The lesson is worth more than the measurement, and the doc keeps it: an annotation
is a claim about an IMAGE, and a broken test makes every image look broken. Both a
framework abort and a stale node read as "the run fell over". Re-measure after
fixing a test before deciding what the platform did.
Also measured rather than assumed, since it is what keeps the gating leg green: the
runner's annotation filter honours a class-level marker, expanding it to every
method. On API 34, `annotation=` selected exactly 4 tests (2 Media3EngineTest + 2
here) and `notAnnotation=` selected 55 with neither of these in it. CI's own gating
API 37 leg then reported 55 / 0 on the previous push. That is why moving the marker
to a single method is a narrowing rather than a repair.

Keep the picker test off the API 37 gating leg, having measured why
The API 37 emulator images abort surfaceflinger inside the guest's Gralloc5 mapper,
init SIGKILLs zygote with it, and the framework restarts under the run. run-e2e.sh
and the CI leg disable SystemUI to remove the trigger -- but that removes the IDLE
one, RegionSamplingThread's nav-bar luma sampling. Driving DocumentsUI and rotating
the display are not idle. They are the first things in this suite that generate
surface traffic of their own.
Both tests were measured on android-37.0 under swangle_indirect with SystemUI
disabled and verified quiet, and measured SEPARATELY -- inferring the second from
the first is the mistake docs/api-37-emulator-crash.md opens by correcting. They
fail in the two shapes a framework restart produces:
thePickedInputSurvivesARealRotation
INSTRUMENTATION_ABORTED: System has crashed.
Expected 59 tests, received 50
(5 hasReadColorBufferDma aborts; the framework dies DURING the test, so six
later tests never run and the XML carries a failure with no text at all)
pickingAFileThroughTheSystemPickerFillsInTheFileCard
androidx.test.uiautomator.StaleObjectException
at androidx.test.uiautomator.UiObject2.click(UiObject2.java:526)
(3 aborts; the picker's root node was rebuilt between finding it and tapping it)
Both pass on API 33 and API 36 locally -- whole suite, 59/0/0/2 on each -- which is
the same evidence pattern that made the Media3EngineTest pair the image rather than
the app.
So the class carries @FailsOnEmulatorApi37 and runs on the advisory leg.
THREE PLACES SAID "nothing in this suite touches system UI", and that is what makes
the SystemUI-disable deviation defensible. It is no longer true of the suite, and all
three are corrected rather than left to rot -- the workflow comment, run-e2e.sh's
header, and the doc. The rule they state is being APPLIED, not broken: the thing that
depends on system UI is excluded from the leg that cannot be trusted for it.
Two consequences stated rather than left to be discovered:
- run-e2e.sh applies no annotation filter, unlike CI, so a local `run-e2e.sh 37`
reports these two on top of the Media3 pair AND DOES NOT FINISH. Its totals come
back short and which later tests ran is arbitrary. The summary row now says so;
it previously promised "exactly two failures", which would have read as a
regression in someone else's diff.
- The advisory job is still named "E2E API 37 Media3 hardware transcode", and half
of what it now runs is neither. Renaming a check touches branch protection, so it
is deliberately not done here; the doc records the staleness and the revisit
trigger now says the marker covers two unrelated bugs that can go green apart.

Pick a file the way a user does, then rotate the phone
Two things nothing in this repo asserted, and they are one test class because
separately the second one asserts nothing new.
THE PICKER. ConverterScreen opens SAF with a MIME filter, and a filter is a thing
that can hide the user's file. Narrow it and the app still builds, still renders,
and still passes every JVM test -- the user taps "Choose file" and gets an empty
picker. The round trip now runs for real: DocumentsUI is driven with UiAutomator to
a fixture root, and the app is asserted to come back with the file.
The file card's name is not the only assertion, because a name proves less than it
looks: it comes from a metadata query, which a URI with no read grant answers just
as well. The "Container: MP4" detail row only appears once something has opened the
file and read its header, so it is what says the picker handed back a URI the app
can USE.
THE ROTATION. MainActivity declares no configChanges, and ConversionViewModel holds
the picked file in a plain MutableStateFlow with NO SavedStateHandle behind it.
Nothing persists it. The only thing that carries it across a rotation is the
ViewModelStore the Activity retains -- which no test anywhere asserted.
Two guards run before that assertion, because both ways it could pass while proving
nothing are silent: the display rotation really changed, and MainActivity really was
a different instance afterwards. Without the second one this is a recomposition test
wearing a rotation's name.
MUTATIONS, RUN RATHER THAN ASSERTED, on a local API 34 emulator.
Narrowing the filter to arrayOf("application/x-lmc-no-such-type") takes the fixture
root out of the picker entirely -- DocumentsUI matches the request against
Root.COLUMN_MIME_TYPES and drops roots that cannot answer -- and both tests fail:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: the system picker never showed
BySelector [TEXT='\QLMC R38 fixtures\E']
Making the ViewModel composition-scoped fails ONLY the rotation test:
androidx.compose.ui.test.ComposeTimeoutException: Condition (a node tagged
converter.fileCard.name exists) still not satisfied after 30000 ms
and :app:testDebugUnitTest stays BUILD SUCCESSFUL under it. That divergence is what
#64 exists to establish and what its own comment doubted; the PR body has the
verdict and why the doubt was reasonable.
THE PROVIDER HAD TO BE JAVA. It is the only Java file in the module. A
manifest-declared provider is a component of the instrumentation PACKAGE, so the
system starts a plain org.libremediaconverter.test process for it with only the test
APK on its dex path -- and the test APK is built without the Kotlin stdlib, because
the app APK has it and duplicating it is what checkDebugAndroidTestDuplicateClasses
prevents. The Kotlin draft died on its first query:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Lkotlin/jvm/internal/Intrinsics;
at org.libremediaconverter.saf.FixtureDocumentsProvider.queryDocument
The compiler emits that reference for the null checks on nearly every function, so
no Kotlin dialect avoids it. Same reason nothing in that file imports androidx.
No new test tags: CHOOSE_FILE, FILE_CARD_NAME and detailRow already named both ends.

Give the system file picker something to pick
Nothing in either source set drives SAF as a picker. The only SAF coverage is the publish side, in OutputPublisherPublishTest, against hand-written ContentProvider fakes -- so the launcher wiring in ConverterScreen, the MIME filter it passes, and the grant that comes back have never been executed by a test. Driving the real picker needs three things this repo did not have. UiAutomator, because DocumentsUI is another process. Compose's matchers stop at this process's composition and Espresso's stop at its view hierarchy; neither can see or tap a window belonging to another package. It FLOATS, at "2.+", which is the same argument the catalog already makes for work and lifecycle rather than a new one: androidx.test.uiautomator is inside floatedGroupPrefixes, so the componentSelection guard makes "+" mean "newest RELEASED", and that is load-bearing here -- this library publishes 2.4.0-alphas above its stable, so without the guard the float would be a pin to a prerelease. Resolved to 2.4.0 (released) on debugAndroidTestRuntimeClasspath, checked rather than assumed. It is deliberately NOT pinned alongside ktlint/detekt/JaCoCo/Robolectric: those are pinned because a new rule or a new runtime changes the verdict on files nobody touched. UiAutomator has no verdict -- it taps what a selector names, and a selector that stops matching is this repo's test to fix, in a diff that explains itself. The "2." rather than a bare "+" is the one thing held back: a major is where the selector API would be free to change under exactly that assumption. A DocumentsProvider, because DocumentsUI does not browse a filesystem -- it lists what providers offer it. Writing a file into Downloads would have worked and tested less: the fixture root declares Root.COLUMN_MIME_TYPES, and DocumentsUI filters the drawer by it, which is what gives the MIME filter a mutation with a shape rather than "one file among the hundreds in Downloads was not listed". Its contents are also exactly one file, where a shared directory accumulates whatever earlier runs left behind. And the first AndroidManifest.xml this source set has ever had, to declare it -- a ContentProvider is instantiated by the system and cannot be registered from test code. In androidTest rather than src/debug so it is installed by the instrumentation APK only, and never appears in a developer's own file picker. Two things worth knowing before editing either file. XML comments cannot contain "--", which the manifest's first draft failed the build on; and "*/" inside a KDoc closes the comment, which the provider's did. Both are silent in review and loud in the build. No test yet, and no new test tag: TestTags.Converter.CHOOSE_FILE and FILE_CARD_NAME already name both ends of the round trip.

Split the API 37 leg so the part that works can gate
CI has never run the API level this app targets. The reason it did not was never "API 37 is untestable" -- it was that two tests fail on the emulator image, so one row would be permanently red or permanently allow-listed. This splits that row instead of choosing between those two. E2E API 37 gates. It runs 55 of the suite's 57 instrumented tests and must be green. E2E API 37 Media3 hardware transcode runs the other two, reports, and never blocks (continue-on-error). Both are driven off ONE marker, @FailsOnEmulatorApi37: the gating job passes notAnnotation, the advisory job passes annotation. Two lists would drift, and drift is silent in both directions -- a test that ends up in neither job reads as green. Excluding by class was not an option either: Media3EngineTest has four tests and two of them pass here, so notClass would have thrown away real coverage. The advisory job is named for what it runs, not for what we think is wrong. Both its tests drive a full H.264 -> H.265 hardware transcode, which is what distinguishes them from the two Media3EngineTest cases that pass -- those never decode video. The goldfish-decoder theory sits in a comment inside the job, where it can be corrected without renaming a check people have learned to look for; docs/api-37-emulator-crash.md keeps measurement and inference apart. The SystemUI disable moves into .github/scripts/e2e-run.sh behind E2E_DISABLE_SYSTEM_UI, unset everywhere but the two API 37 jobs, so the other four legs run byte-identical commands -- the same shape as E2E_EXTRA_GRADLE_ARGS. It runs BEFORE the streamed logcat starts, deliberately: `adb shell stop` would end that logcat and nothing restarts it, so a disable placed after it would cost the leg its diagnostics for the part of the run that matters. The body is probe v2 from api37-debug.yml -- the version measured 4/4 -- not the older one-round form: three rounds, waits for system_server to actually be gone, verifies against `pm list packages -d`, and requires a 45 s window with zero new aborts. The weaker probe reported success on a run that then started SystemUI eight more times. The caveat is written next to the row rather than left implicit: this leg runs with SystemUI disabled and the framework restarted under it, a device configuration no other leg and no Pixel run uses. Anything that touches system UI must not trust it, and the Pixel check before each release is still the only API 37 run with SystemUI intact. docs/api-37-emulator-crash.md's "So should CI take API 37?" said no on three reasons. Two were claims about CI that had never been measured; the section now carries the eight runs that measured them, and the third reason is what the split answers. docs/local-emulator.md and api37-debug.yml's header carried the same "the matrix stops at 36" claim and are corrected with it. CLAUDE.md is left alone deliberately -- its "CI's matrix therefore stops at API 36" clause is now false, and that correction is parked in the doc's existing "Correction owed to CLAUDE.md" section, where two others are already waiting. Making E2E API 37 an actually-required check is a repository-settings change and must come after this is on main: adding a required context that does not exist on the default branch blocks every PR.

Give every job a staging path of its own
`<cacheDir>/conversions/` is shared by the convert tab, the join tab and `ConcatEngine`, and
until now none of the three named a file that belonged to one job. A conversion derived its name
from the input's display name, so two `holiday.mp4` from different folders wrote the same file.
A join used the constant `joined.<ext>`, so any two joins of one format did. The list file was
the constant `concat_list.txt`, so any two joins at all did, and one of them would read the
other's input list.
The naming half is not a hypothesis. Two independent conversions on a Pixel each computed
`cache/conversions/input_converted.mp4`, the second silently overwrote the first, and a tag query
in a fresh process then returned **two SUCCEEDED `WorkInfo`s naming that one file** with one file
on disk. That is the collision reaching the point where it makes a *fix* ambiguous rather than
just a file: `Reattachment` can offer the bytes, because they are the user's either way, but it
cannot say which job produced them.
`StagingNames` keys the name on the WorkManager request id. That id is what stays still across a
retry -- `WorkerWrapper` builds `WorkerParameters` from the `WorkSpec` id and only increments
`runAttemptCount` -- which matters more here than uniqueness does, and matters more since the
previous commit made retries routine. A failed attempt deletes its staged file on the way out,
and that only collects the partial the *previous* attempt left when the name has not moved.
Opaque rather than sanitised, deliberately. The staged name is never shown to anyone: `save()`
recomputes a suggested name and the user picks the real one in the SAF dialog. So there was
nothing to lose by dropping the display name, and something to gain -- a provider-supplied
display name can contain a separator, be empty, or be four kilobytes long, and `File(stagingDir,
"../escape_converted.mp4")` resolves to a path outside staging. That was reachable before this
commit and is now unreachable by construction rather than by a sanitiser that has to be right
about every case. There is a test for exactly that name.
The extension stays, and is not decoration: `FFmpegConcatCommand` names no output muxer, so
FFmpeg infers it from the output path. A fully opaque name would quietly produce the wrong
container.
`ConcatEngine`'s list file is derived from the output it belongs to rather than taking another
parameter, so the two cannot drift apart, a directory listing shows which list belongs to which
join, and the sweep ages them together.
Three neighbouring comments claimed things that are no longer true, and are corrected rather than
left to mislead the next reader:
- `Reattachment.Ambiguous` said it "resolves on its own once each job stages under a name of
its own". It now does -- for work enqueued from here on. The case is **kept**, because the
queue outlives the change: WorkManager holds finished work for about a week, and the jobs
likeliest to be sitting in it when this code first runs are the ones named the old way.
Behaviour is unchanged and `ReattachmentTest` is untouched.
- `OutputPublisher.sweepStaging` justified its age rule partly on there being "no per-job
namespacing". There is now, and the rule still stands on its own: per-job names stop two jobs
from sharing a file, and say nothing about whether a file's job is still running, which is the
question a sweep actually asks. Same for `StagingSweep` and the note in
`LibreMediaConverterApp`.
- Both ViewModels' `reattach()` explained aliasing as something nothing prevented. Narrowed to
what is still true of work already in the queue.
`ConcatEngineTest` asks `StagingNames` for the list file's name instead of spelling out
`concat_list.txt`. That is the difference between a test and a tautology: a literal there would
have gone on passing after the rename while asserting that a file nothing creates does not exist.
The same trap was live in the two worker tests from the previous commits, whose staged-file
assertions computed a path of their own -- they now assert on the staging directory being empty,
which cannot go vacuous when a name moves.
`PerJobStagingTest` drives the real worker, because the naming function was never the part that
was wrong: what was wrong was which name the worker asked for. Two jobs converting one file must
leave two files; a second attempt at one job must not leave a second; and a display name that
climbs out of staging must not. The first and third fail before the change with "each job must
have staged its own file, found [input_converted.mp4] expected:<2> but was:<1>" and "the output
belongs in staging expected:<1> but was:<0>" -- the latter because the file had landed in
`cacheDir` instead.

Reattach to conversions and joins the ViewModel did not start
The queue surviving process death is the stated reason this app uses WorkManager, and
the ViewModel was where that protection stopped. `activeWorkId` and `observer` are
plain fields, so a process reclaimed after a conversion finished came back to Idle
while the output sat in `cacheDir` with nothing in the UI able to reach it. The
realistic window is not a crash mid-transcode -- it is the job finishing, the user not
saving yet, and the process being reclaimed hours later as an ordinary background one.
Both ViewModels now query their own worker's class name on init and pick up what they
find. Nothing is persisted for it, and nothing needed to be: `WorkRequest.Builder`
seeds every request's tag set with `workerClass.name` (`tags = mutableSetOf(
workerClass.name)`, work-runtime 2.11.2), and R8 keeps those names through
work-runtime's own consumer rule, `-keepnames class * extends
androidx.work.ListenableWorker`. A UUID in a `SavedStateHandle` would have been both
more machinery and less: it cannot find work enqueued by a previous install.
What the query cannot return is the job's input. `WorkInfo` hands back id, state, tags,
progress, output and run-attempt count -- never the `Data` a request was enqueued with
-- so a ViewModel could see that a conversion existed and where its output went, but
not which file it was converting. The display name and size therefore ride on tags too,
which is the whole of the production change to the request builders. The picked `Uri`
deliberately does not: nothing in a reattached state reads it, and a `content://` grant
taken by a picker in a process that no longer exists is not something to hand back as
though it still worked.
The decision is a pure function on the JVM test stack, following `FailureOutcome`:
`Reattachment.choose` takes what WorkManager reported and answers which job, if any.
Cancelled work is excluded -- the user already said no. Failed work is excluded, which
matters more than it looks now that a device has shown an interrupted worker coming
back FAILED rather than retried, its restart's `setForeground` refused as a background
foreground-service start: nothing marks a failure as seen, so it would otherwise
reappear on every launch. A success whose staged file is gone is excluded, because a
Save button that fails on tap is worse than no button. Live work outranks a finished
result, since a running job holds a foreground notification and someone opening the app
while that notification is in the shade is looking for that conversion.
Where several jobs qualify, the newest staged file wins, and that is not a detail.
Losing a tie is not the same as waiting for the next launch: the tag query has no
`ORDER BY`, so its order is unspecified but stable, and an arbitrary winner would keep
winning every launch while the other result stayed unreachable for as long as its file
existed. It is reachable today -- dismiss one result with "Start over", which leaves its
file behind, then convert something else and do not save it. `WorkInfo` carries no
timestamp of any kind, but the edge is already stat'ing the file, so the file's own
mtime is the ordering. A clock that moves backwards makes it a heuristic; an order that
is unspecified and repeats itself is worse.
Aliases are the tie that does not resolve, and that case is not hypothetical. A tag
query on a device returned two SUCCEEDED jobs whose output paths were both
`.../conversions/input_converted.mp4`, with one file on disk -- the staging name is
derived from the input's display name, so a later job overwrites an earlier one's output
and both go on reporting it. Checking the file does not separate them, and neither does
its mtime, since they share it. So the two halves are separated instead. The file is
offered, because it is the user's file either way and losing it is the defect being
fixed; the label is not, because saying which job produced it would be a guess.
`Reattachment.Ambiguous` says so and the card falls back to a neutral name rather than
borrowing the other job's. Aliases whose tags are identical -- the ordinary case, the
same file converted twice -- stay attributed, since nothing turns on which wrote it.
Age is not filtered on, and cannot be: WorkManager keeps finished work about a week and
prunes on its own schedule, so a query in a fresh process routinely returns jobs from
earlier sessions. Whether the staged file is still there is the only signal separating a
result still worth offering from one already dealt with, which is why that check carries
the weight.
Two smaller behaviours fall out of reattaching rather than starting:
- A reattached job that is cancelled lands on Idle rather than Ready. Ready would put
a Convert button over an input URI that belongs to a dead process. `observe()` takes
the cancelled destination as a defaulted parameter, so a job started here is
unchanged.
- A FAILED job's message falls back when blank, not only when absent. A worker killed
before it can report leaves no output data at all, and an exception's message can be
the empty string; both used to reach the screen as a failure with nothing said.
Deliberately not fixed here, each being its own change: the save dialog's suggested name
and MIME still come from the current picker rather than from the job that ran, so a
reattached job in a non-default format is offered the default extension; a result
dismissed with "Start over" still keeps its staged file, so it can be offered again next
launch -- the file check closes that for free once the file is deleted; and
`setForeground` still sits outside `doWork`'s try, so its throw bypasses the retry
decision entirely.
Tested where it can be. 28 JVM tests cover the choice and the tag round trip, including
the ordering, the aliasing rules and a display name that looks like another tag. The
reattachment itself is instrumented: a ViewModel constructed against the real
WorkManager is the next launch, with no memory of the work. `WorkManagerTestInitHelper`
is deliberately not used -- its `setDelegate` replaces the singleton for the whole
process, which would quietly turn `ConversionWorkerTest` into a synchronous test double
depending on class order.

Correct the JDK claim, and finish the @UnstableApi propagation
Two things the first pass got wrong. CLAUDE.md said "use a JDK 17-21, AGP 9 does not support 25+". That was carried over from the sibling repo and is not true here: gradle-daemon-jvm.properties pins toolchainVersion=25, so Gradle provisions and runs the daemon on Java 25 whatever JAVA_HOME says -- JAVA_HOME only picks the launcher. `gradlew --version` prints both, and shows them differing on this machine right now. It also means CI's java-version: '17' is not the JDK that compiles anything, and that the daemon JVM is the same on a laptop as on a runner, which is a better guarantee than the one the file claimed. Marking ConversionDependencies @UnstableApi propagates to its callers, and FakeFailures in androidTest calls it. That is a warning rather than an error in Kotlin, and lint does not read the androidTest source set, so the previous commit compiled clean while leaving one file inconsistent with the very pattern it described. Marked now. Left alone deliberately: gradlew.bat. The new `*.bat text eol=crlf` attribute governs how it is checked out from here on, which is the point of adding it, and the file already has CRLF in both the tree and the index. Rewriting the stored bytes of the wrapper script to prove the attribute works is not this branch's business. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Apply ktlintFormat
Tool output only, no hand edits, so this is safe to read with whitespace diffing off. It is its own commit for exactly that reason: a whole-repo reformat folded into the commit that configured the formatter would have made both unreviewable. What it did, mostly: trailing commas on wrapped argument lists, signatures collapsed onto one line where they fit inside 120 columns, import order, and four genuinely unused imports removed. Unit tests pass unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Merge Media3's MP4-only correction into the remux branch
CI on the parent branch proved that four of the five containers the router claimed for Media3 cannot be written by Transformer at all: WebmMuxer, OggMuxer, WavMuxer and AacMuxer each throw UnsupportedOperationException from addMetadataEntry, which MuxerWrapper calls for every metadata entry on the track format. Consequences here beyond the merge itself: - MEDIA3_MUXABLE_VIDEO and MEDIA3_MUXABLE_AUDIO drop to a single MP4 entry. Every other container is already on its way to FFmpeg before those maps are consulted. - Reason.WEBM_CODEC_UNSUPPORTED is removed. WebM now fails the container check first, so nothing could ever produce that reason, and a routing reason no code path can reach is worse than no reason at all. - Media3Muxers gains null branches for the six containers this branch adds. MOV is among them despite being MP4's own family: Mp4Muxer exposes no QuickTime file format. - The README no longer claims Media3 writes five containers. The remux behaviour this branch exists for is unaffected: MKV -> MP4 was always the hardware direction, because Media3 reads Matroska but has never been able to write it.

Media3 can only write MP4, so stop claiming otherwise
CI proved the WAV and Ogg exports this branch added cannot work, and the reason
generalises further than those two.
media3-muxer 1.11.0 ships WebmMuxer, OggMuxer, WavMuxer and AacMuxer, which is
why MEDIA3_CONTAINERS listed the matching containers. But all four throw
UnsupportedOperationException from addMetadataEntry, and
MuxerWrapper.addTrackFormat calls it for every metadata entry on the track
format. Any real recording carries at least a creation timestamp, so the export
dies partway through:
Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException
at androidx.media3.muxer.OggMuxer.addMetadataEntry(OggMuxer.java:123)
at androidx.media3.transformer.MuxerWrapper.addTrackFormat(MuxerWrapper.java:488)
They are standalone muxers, not Transformer-compatible ones. WAV fails a second
way before even reaching that: DefaultEncoderFactory has no PCM encoder, so
Transformer reports "No MIME type is supported by both encoder and muxer"
instead of passing raw samples through.
Both observed on an API 35 emulator in CI, not inferred. The tests that found
them were written on the assumption these containers worked.
So MEDIA3_CONTAINERS becomes {MP4}. That the set was wrong went unnoticed
because the engine ignored the container and wrote MP4 regardless — the set
being wrong and the engine being wrong cancelled out. WAV, Opus and raw AAC move
to FFmpeg, which already produces all three with instrumented coverage asserting
the produced files.
WEBM_VP9's routing reason changes from NO_PLATFORM_ENCODER to
CONTAINER_UNSUPPORTED. Both were always true; the container is the more
fundamental, since even given a VP9 encoder the file could not be written.
The audio-only regression guard this branch exists for passed on API 35: M4A
output now carries exactly one AAC track and no video.

Let the user pick a container and codecs independently, and remux without re-encoding
OutputFormat was a closed enum of twelve (container, videoCodec, audioCodec) triples, defended on the grounds that a closed set was what made routing decidable. Two things it could not express: changing the container while copying the streams, and choosing codecs per track. OutputSpec replaces it as the vocabulary; OutputFormat stays as presets over it. Decidability moves to ContainerCapabilities, which is explicit and unit-tested rather than implicit in whichever combinations somebody enumerated. The matrix is indexed by (container, codec, trackType, mode), not one boolean. "Can MP4 carry AV1" and "can this app encode AV1" have different answers, and copy is where the difference shows: a single flag would refuse a legitimate remux or promise an encode neither engine can deliver. COPY is a codec value rather than a flag, so every exhaustive `when` in the codebase had to say what it does about copying. CopyPlanner resolves it before anything else reads the request, and inherits ConcatPlanner's rule that an unproven match is never a copy — a needless re-encode costs time, a wrong stream copy costs a file that will not play. Container now drives -f, the extension and the SAF MIME type, so Matroska without video is .mka and MP4 without video is .m4a without a preset for each. FLAC was declared as Container.MKV with a .flac extension, inert only while nothing read the container; it now has its own. Six containers added: MOV, MKV audio, MPEG-TS, AVI, FLV and WMV/ASF. Routing asks the plan, never the request. COPY belongs to none of the capability sets, so testing the request directly sends every remux to FFmpeg on the first check — and nothing notices, because -c copy produces a correct file, just on the CPU. The router also learns what Media3 can *carry* as opposed to encode: its MP4 muxer takes AAC, Opus, Vorbis and PCM but neither MP3 nor FLAC. MediaProbe now separates "no video track" from "could not parse" and reports the source container, which MediaExtractor cannot supply at all. FFprobe runs on every pick for that reason, not as a fallback. The Advanced picker shows the whole matrix and lets an impossible combination be selected on purpose, then explains it and offers alternatives. Convert is what blocks the job. ConversionWorker validates too, so a stale queued spec fails with the reason rather than being coerced into something else. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Make Media3 write the container and codec it was asked for
Media3Engine never called setMuxerFactory or setAudioMimeType, and built a bare EditedMediaItem, so it always produced MP4 with an H.265 video track. The router meanwhile sends it WebM, Ogg, WAV and AAC-ADTS jobs, plus audio-only M4A, Opus and WAV — and ConversionWorker.media3MimeType() mapped VideoCodec.NONE through its else branch to VIDEO_H265. The visible result: "extract audio to M4A" transcoded the video to HEVC and named the file .m4a. Nothing failed, and nothing caught it, because Media3EngineTest had no audio-only case at all. media3-muxer already ships WebmMuxer, OggMuxer, WavMuxer and AacMuxer; only the MP4 ones come pre-wrapped as a Muxer.Factory. Media3Muxers supplies the rest. Their reported sample MIME types are read from each muxer's own support check rather than assumed, because Transformer uses those lists to decide whether a track needs re-encoding. HardwareTranscoder.transcode now takes the OutputFormat instead of a video MIME string, which is what gives the container, the audio codec and "this output has no video" somewhere to travel. MEDIA3_CONTAINERS stops being private so a test can assert it agrees with the factories. Those two drifted once already: the router's set was right the whole time the engine was ignoring it.

Rename the project to LibreMediaConverter
Done now rather than later: the application ID is permanent once published -- Play treats a change as an entirely different app -- so this is the last cheap moment to choose it. applicationId / namespace dev.jasonmross.mediaconverter -> org.libremediaconverter source tree java/dev/jasonmross/mediaconverter -> java/org/libremediaconverter gradle project AndroidMediaConverter -> LibreMediaConverter theme Theme.MediaConverter -> Theme.LibreMediaConverter compose theme MediaConverterTheme -> LibreMediaConverterTheme display name "Media Converter" -> "LibreMediaConverter" org.* rather than dev.jasonmross.* because "Libre" signals a project rather than a personal app, and a project-owned namespace lets maintainership move later without the identifier contradicting reality. The source trees moved with git mv so history follows the files instead of showing 42 deletions beside 42 additions. Verified after the rename: 66 unit tests, and 40 instrumented tests on an API 36 emulator, 0 failures. The built APK reports org.libremediaconverter, and no stale jasonmross, AndroidMediaConverter or MediaConverterTheme identifiers remain anywhere in the tree.

Pin the fallback test's device profile so it is not machine-dependent
Running the suite across API 33, 34, 35 and 36 emulators failed the same test on all four, while it passed on a Pixel 10 Pro XL. The assertion was "the hardware path should have been attempted", and the routing was correct in both cases: those emulators expose no hardware H.264 encoder, so the router sent the job straight to FFmpeg and Media3 was never called. That is the same mistake made earlier with routesAFastMp4JobToMedia3 -- baking an assumption about the host's encoders into a test. A result that flips with the machine says nothing about the code. This test is about the fallback mechanism rather than about routing, so it now pins DeviceCodecs.PERMISSIVE through the existing seam and the router's choice becomes deterministic. Routing itself is covered separately, by tests that derive their expectation from the device. Verified on emulators for API 33, 34, 35 and 36: 40 instrumented tests each, 0 failures, 2 skipped, with the only skips being the opt-in benchmark. That also exercises all three foreground-service regimes for the first time -- no type below 34, dataSync at 34, mediaProcessing from 35 -- which had previously only ever run at API 37.

Force the last five failure branches
The previous commit called five branches unforceable. That was wrong on all five, and the reasoning behind it was lazy rather than investigated. Three were described as needing a SAF grant revoked mid-job. They do not: a content URI whose authority does not exist reaches exactly the same null branch as one whose permission was withdrawn, and constructing one is a single line. That now covers the conversion input, the join inputs, and the publish destination. One was described as unreachable through ConcatWorker.request(). True, but irrelevant -- a worker is just input Data, and WorkManager will run one built without the input array. That is also what a version-skewed queue entry would look like after an app update, so it is worth covering rather than dismissing. One was described as Media3-internal. An output path whose parent directory does not exist makes Transformer.start() fail synchronously, and the engine has to surface that as a rejected suspension. The test asserts specifically that it is not a timeout: hanging would be far worse than throwing, because the worker would sit holding a foreground service indefinitely. The assertions check outcomes rather than exception types. Whether a resolver returns null or throws is a provider implementation detail; what matters is that the job fails cleanly and carries a message, instead of taking down the worker. Every failure branch in the conversion and join paths is now forced. 40 instrumented tests on a Pixel 10 Pro XL and 66 unit tests, 0 failures, with the only skips being the opt-in benchmark.

Add a seam for forcing failure paths, and force thirteen of them
Error handling was the least-tested code in the app. It only runs when something goes wrong, which is exactly what a healthy test run avoids, so the branches a user meets on a bad day were the ones that had never executed. An audit put it at 4 of 18 fallback branches actually forced by a test. There was also no mechanism to do better: ConversionWorker constructed Media3Engine and FFmpegEngine directly, so no test could make either of them fail. Media3Engine and FFmpegEngine now implement HardwareTranscoder and SoftwareTranscoder, and ConversionDependencies holds the factories. Workers are built by WorkManager and the app deliberately carries no DI framework, so a small settable holder is the least machinery that does the job. The foreground-service timeout needed different treatment. Its trigger is the six-hour-per-day budget expiring, which no test can reach, so the decision moved out of the worker into FailureOutcome. The rule is now verified on the JVM across every WorkInfo stop reason, including that only the timeout earns a retry -- retrying a user cancellation would ignore the user, and retrying a constraint failure would spin. Thirteen branches are now forced, including both free-space prechecks, both engines failing, a missing input, and the router bypassing hardware entirely for MP3. The dynamic fallback is covered twice over: once by injection, and once by HardwareFallbackTest driving it with genuinely undecodable 4:4:4 footage. Injection alone would prove the plumbing without proving the condition ever arises in reality. Five remain unforced and are listed in ConversionDependencies' documentation. They need a SAF grant to be revoked mid-job, which is not something a test can arrange. Media3EngineTest now asserts against the muxed file rather than the engine's own ExportResult, which is a stronger check anyway: a result object can report success for a file that will not play. 35 instrumented tests on a Pixel 10 Pro XL and 66 unit tests, 0 failures.

Make the 4:4:4 fallback regression run without manual setup
The test covering the runtime fallback read its input from the app's internal storage, which only ever contained a file because it had been piped in by hand with run-as. On a fresh checkout it hit assumeTrue and skipped -- silently, while still counting toward the suite total. A regression test that skips is worse than no test, because the number reads as coverage. It now ships its own fixture: three seconds of H.264 High 4:4:4 Predictive, 76 KB. Producing it needed x264, which the host toolchain cannot supply -- Fedora's ffmpeg carries openh264, which is Constrained Baseline only and cannot even decode 4:4:4 -- so it was generated with ffmpeg-full inside the existing FFmpeg build container. The command is recorded in the test's own documentation so the fixture can be regenerated rather than trusted blindly. Verified by deleting the hand-staged files first and running the suite clean: the fallback test executes, Media3 fails to decode as expected, and the worker completes the conversion through FFmpeg. It is no longer among the skips. The benchmark stays opt-in and is now documented as such. It needs real long-form media that does not belong in the repository, and its numbers should not be mistaken for something the suite verifies. 29 instrumented tests on a Pixel 10 Pro XL: 0 failures, 2 skipped, and both skips are the benchmark by design.

Stop selecting FFmpeg's MediaCodec encoders, and pin the pixel format
Testing on a Pixel 10 Pro XL with real footage found two defects that neither the emulator nor any unit test could surface. The sample is H.264 High 4:4:4 Predictive (avc1.F4001F). Media3 cannot decode it on any device: hardware AVC decoders implement High 4:2:0, and Android's software c2.google.avc.decoder does not cover 4:4:4 either, so the export dies with a codec exception. The static routing rules cannot predict this -- the container is MP4, the codec is "h264", and the device reports AVC decode and encode -- so it is exactly the case the runtime fallback exists for. Until a file like this was tried on hardware, that fallback had never actually fired. Following it through exposed the two bugs behind it. First, only one video encode path named a pixel format. FFmpeg decodes 4:4:4 to yuv444p and hands those frames to encoders that cannot accept them; naming yuv420p makes it insert the conversion instead. Every path now does. Second, and not fixed by that: hevc_mediacodec still failed with "Error submitting video frame to the encoder". That is the second distinct failure from FFmpeg's MediaCodec wrappers in one session -- the first being that on a device with no hardware encoder they silently bind to the platform software codec and crawl while presenting as the fast path. They are undocumented, per-device flaky, and duplicate badly something Media3 already does properly. A job only reaches FFmpeg because Media3 could not handle it, which is itself evidence hardware encode is unlikely to work for that input. So FFmpeg now always encodes in software, and Fast means a fast preset rather than a different encoder: libx264/libx265 at veryfast against medium, both with CRF. With that, the fallback completes and the file converts. Measured on the Pixel: AV1 1080p through the hardware path runs at 7.9x realtime, confirming the figure the two-engine design was based on; software x264 CRF at 720p runs at 4.4x. Hardware encoders present are av01, avc and hevc -- AV1 encode included, which is still rare. 29 instrumented tests pass on device, 63 unit tests on the JVM.

Cover the join path with device tests
The join flow was implemented but had never run end to end: unit tests covered the planner and the argument shapes, neither of which can tell you what FFmpeg actually does with real files. Three fixtures make the strategy decision testable. clip_a and clip_b match in codec, resolution and frame rate; clip_c deliberately differs in both resolution and frame rate. Without a genuinely mismatched input there is no way to prove the re-encode branch is ever taken. The tests assert which strategy ran, not merely that output appeared. That distinction is the whole point here: the concat demuxer does not reliably reject mismatched inputs, so a naive implementation produces a file whose later segments are garbled while still exiting successfully. Each test also checks the output is long enough to contain both inputs, since a truncated join is exactly what a wrong stream copy looks like. Also covered: the list file is cleaned up, fewer than two inputs is refused, the probe distinguishes the clips the planner depends on, and the chosen strategy reaches the UI through WorkManager -- it is what tells the user whether their files were copied losslessly or re-encoded. Measured on an API 37 emulator, the two paths differ by roughly thirty times on the same pair of clips: 0.026s to stream copy against 0.829s to re-encode. That gap is itself evidence the planner is not quietly re-encoding everything. 25 instrumented tests now pass, up from 17. 65 unit tests unchanged.

Use a real software encoder when the device has none in hardware
Running the device suite for the first time surfaced a defect the unit tests could not: FFmpeg's *_mediacodec wrappers do not fail on a device without a hardware encoder. They quietly bind to the platform's software codec (c2.android.hevc.encoder on the test emulator) and encode far slower than libx264 or libx265 would, while still presenting as the fast path. A three second 320x240 clip did not finish inside a three minute timeout. The Fast tier now checks whether a hardware encoder actually exists for the target codec, and falls back to libx264/libx265 on -preset veryfast when one does not. That is both quicker and honest about what it is doing, and the distinction between Fast and Best survives the fallback: veryfast against medium, rather than both collapsing to the same slow path. The routing itself was already correct. The capability probe rightly rejects c2.android.* as software-only, so the job was correctly sent to FFmpeg -- the test asserting Media3 was encoding an assumption about the machine it ran on. It now derives its expectation from the device, so it means the same thing on hardware with a real encoder and on an emulator without one. Verified on an API 37 emulator: 17 of 17 instrumented tests pass in 4.2s, against six minutes of timeouts before. 65 unit tests still pass.

Route conversions between hardware and software engines
Adds the second engine and the rules that choose between them, turning a
video transcoder into a converter.
The router encodes capability boundaries, not preferences. Media3 handles
what it genuinely can and FFmpeg takes the rest:
MKV, and any container Media3 cannot mux
MP3, which Android cannot encode at any API level -- a platform gap
rather than a Media3 limitation
GIF and PNG frame sequences, which have no Media3 muxer
VP9 and AV1 targets: Transformer.setVideoMimeType accepts only
H.263/H.264/H.265/MP4V, so the WebM muxer has no encoder behind it
inputs with no platform decoder, since Transformer ignores ExoPlayer's
bundled software decoders and the dav1d extension does not rescue it
the Best quality tier, because CRF and two-pass come from x264/x265 and
no Android hardware encoder exposes either
Rule order matters and is deliberate: specific reasons are checked before
general ones because the reason is shown to the user. "Android has no
encoder for this format" is actionable for MP3; "this container needs
FFmpeg" is not. A test caught the original ordering getting this backwards.
Hardware support is vendor-declared and, per the platform's own docs,
"cannot be tested for correctness", so the static rules are backed by a
dynamic fallback: a Media3 export that fails is retried on FFmpeg rather
than surfaced as a failed conversion.
Joining files chooses between a stream copy and a re-encode by inspecting
the inputs. The concat demuxer requires matching codec, resolution and
timebase, and does not reliably fail when they differ -- it can emit a file
whose later segments are garbled. Unknown properties count as a mismatch,
because two nulls are not evidence of agreement.
The UI surfaces the routing decision rather than hiding it, so a slow job
explains itself, and offers a per-job engine override.
Navigation is adaptive: a bottom bar on phones, a side rail on wider
screens. Not cosmetic -- from targetSdk 37 Android ignores screenOrientation
and resizableActivity on displays at least 600dp wide, with no opt-out, so
the app is resized whether or not it is ready.
62 unit tests cover the routing matrix, the FFmpeg argument builder and the
concat planner on the JVM, against fabricated device profiles so branches
like "this device cannot encode HEVC" are reachable without that hardware.
Device-level tests for the FFmpeg formats are written but not yet run; the
emulator in this environment will not stay up.

Run conversions as durable foreground work
Conversions now go through WorkManager instead of a viewModelScope coroutine,
so a job outlives the ViewModel, survives process death, and keeps running
when the user leaves the app.
The foreground service type needs three branches across the supported range,
which is why ConversionForegroundType exists rather than a constant:
API 33 no type is required at all
API 34 a type is mandatory, but mediaProcessing does not exist yet, so
dataSync is the only sensible fit
API 35+ mediaProcessing, whose own documentation describes it as
"converting media to different formats"
The manifest declares both types on WorkManager's SystemForegroundService
via tools:node="merge" -- setForeground runs *that* service, not one of
ours, so declaring the type on an app-owned service would have no effect.
The manifest cannot branch on API level, so the runtime picks which type is
actually passed.
Both types share a budget of six hours per twenty-four across the whole app.
When it runs out WorkManager reports STOP_REASON_FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TIMEOUT,
which the worker translates into Result.retry() rather than a failure: the
work is still valid, there is simply no budget right now. The UI surfaces
that as a distinct Waiting state that explains the pause instead of showing
an error.
Expedited work is deliberately not used. It maps to JobScheduler expedited
jobs with a short quota, which is the wrong shape for a multi-minute
transcode.
POST_NOTIFICATIONS is requested when the user taps Convert, not on first
launch, so the ask arrives with visible justification. The conversion starts
either way -- without the permission the foreground service still runs, but
its progress notification is confined to the Task Manager rather than the
shade. Notification updates are throttled to roughly one per second because
progress updates arrive far faster than the system UI can absorb.
Tests run against the real WorkManager rather than a test double,
specifically so setForeground and the declared service type are exercised on
a device that enforces them. Verified on an API 37 emulator: the service
starts, and logcat shows no type or permission exceptions.

Add Media3 hardware conversion path with end-to-end tests
First working conversion: SAF input -> hardware transcode -> staged cache file -> SAF export, driven from a Compose screen. Media3 Transformer is the engine for this path rather than FFmpeg. It is Apache-2.0, needs no native build, consumes content:// URIs directly, and runs MediaCodec decode -> GL surface -> MediaCodec encode without frames round-tripping through the CPU. FFmpeg remains necessary for the long tail (MP3, GIF, MKV, exotic containers) but is not the right tool here. Two hazards are designed against rather than discovered later: Transformer must be driven from a single thread that has a Looper, and start()/cancel() throw IllegalStateException from anywhere else. The Looper it binds to is whichever the Builder saw, silently falling back to the main one. A WorkManager Worker runs on a Looper-less executor thread, so the naive arrangement builds against the main Looper and then throws on start. Media3Engine owns a dedicated HandlerThread, passes its Looper explicitly, and marshals every call onto it, so callers get a plain suspending function and cannot reintroduce the bug. Media3EngineTest covers this directly by driving a conversion from a Looper-less thread. Output never goes through a SAF file descriptor. MP4 faststart rewrites the moov atom at the end and needs to seek backwards, which a SAF fd does not reliably support. OutputPublisher stages to app-private cache, a real POSIX path, and copies out afterwards. That costs transient double disk usage, so it checks free space before starting. Input uses ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT rather than the photo picker: the picker is images and video only, offers no audio at all, and does not reliably surface .mkv/.flac/.webm. SAF needs no runtime permission. Tests run on an API 37 emulator and assert the output codec by reading the muxed file with MediaExtractor, so a silent fallback to H.264 fails rather than passing. Progress reporting is deliberately not asserted as non-empty: a 3 s fixture can finish inside one 250 ms poll tick, which would be an intermittent failure rather than a real defect.

Replace scaffold with Compose/Material 3 base and project identity
The generated scaffold was a Views-based Material 2 shell with no activity,
no Kotlin sources, and a placeholder package. Replace it with the real base
the conversion work builds on.
Build configuration, with three AGP 9 specifics that contradict most
tutorials still in circulation:
- AGP 9 has built-in Kotlin. Applying org.jetbrains.kotlin.android now fails
the build, so the absence of that plugin is deliberate, not an oversight.
- The Compose compiler plugin is still separate and must be applied, pinned
to 2.2.10 to match the kotlin-gradle-plugin AGP 9.3.1 brings transitively.
Pinning it to the newest Kotlin release instead would mismatch.
- android.kotlinOptions {} was removed; jvm configuration moves to a
top-level kotlin { compilerOptions {} }.
Java compatibility goes 11 -> 17 (AGP 9 requires JDK 17), abiFilters
restrict packaging to arm64-v8a and x86_64, and jniLibs packaging is set
uncompressed so the APK zip-aligns native libraries on 16 KB boundaries.
Every dependency version in the catalog was checked to resolve against
Google Maven rather than copied from documentation. Note that KSP has moved
to standalone versioning (2.3.11) and no longer uses the old
<kotlin>-<ksp> scheme; it is catalogued but left unapplied until Room lands.
Set applicationId to dev.jasonmross.mediaconverter. com.example.* is
rejected by the Play Console, and the application ID is permanent once
published, so it has to be right before the first upload. The display name
is just a string resource and stays changeable.
Document the split license posture: source is MIT, but the distributed
binary will be GPL-3.0 because it bundles FFmpeg built with x264/x265.
LICENSES/README.md records why, including that libass is ISC rather than
GPL, so subtitle burn-in is not what forces the GPL choice.
