JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 07f7ed4259 Merge #221, and make the two counts derived rather than remembered
#221 landed while this was in review, adding one instrumented test: 68 -> 69, and
64 on the gating leg. Its own commit was "Move CLAUDE.md's instrumented counts
with the test that changes them", and it still arrived stale -- it says three
markers and 61 tests, both true of the main it was branched from and neither true
of the main it merged into.

That is the third time these two numbers have gone stale in a day, so the
paragraph now says where they come from: a grep for @Test over app/src/androidTest
minus the marker count, cross-checkable against any run's shape, since a leg below
37 reports the first as `expected` and the API 37 gating leg reports the second.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 7fd95ddede Merge main, and re-derive every count it moved
main landed 25 commits while this branch was open, including a third
@FailsOnEmulatorApi37 on Media3EngineTest.cancellingARunningExportStopsIt and a
batch of new instrumented tests. Every number this branch touches moved with them.

Re-derived rather than adjusted, and cross-checked against run 34020234606: the
API 34 leg (no filter) reports 68 tests and the API 37 gating leg 64, which is
68 minus main's four markers. With the picker test marked that is five markers,
baseline 5, and 63 on the gating leg.

The conflict in FailsOnEmulatorApi37.kt is resolved main's way: it had replaced
the hardcoded "grows by two" with a reference to the constant, which is the same
drift this file exists to prevent and a better fix than the number I put there.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 31f249ae04 Cancel a running Media3 export, completing #224's third engine
The two FFmpeg engines were done in ad2a75d and d293646. This is
Media3Engine.transcode's invokeOnCancellation, which posts
transformer.cancel() onto the engine's own HandlerThread because cancel()
has the same single-thread requirement as start().

The assertion is the output file here, where it could not be for FFmpeg.
That side deletes the partial on cancellation, and on POSIX ffmpeg keeps
writing to the unlinked inode, so the path stays gone whether or not the
cancel landed -- it asserts the session's return code instead. Media3Engine
deletes nothing, the partial being ConversionWorker's to clean up, so the
file is the evidence.

A cancelled export reports itself two ways and both mean interrupted: no
video track, or MediaExtractor refusing the file outright with "Failed to
instantiate extractor" because there is no moov atom. The first version
treated only the null as success and the exception failed the test, which
is how that was measured. Only a playable file counts as a miss.

The wait before reading is several times the export's own length, so a
cancel that did not land has certainly finished by then: the failure
direction is "the file became playable", never "we did not wait long
enough". The attempt is retried for the reason the other two engines
measured -- a 3 s 320x240 export outruns a naive cancel on a loaded runner
-- and an export that never wrote a file at all is recorded as
inconclusive rather than allowed to pass as a cancellation.

It carries @FailsOnEmulatorApi37, so FAILS_ON_EMULATOR_API37_BASELINE moves
3 -> 4 in this diff. That file also said removing the marker would grow the
gating leg "by two", which has been wrong since the third marker landed; it
now names the constant instead of restating it.

Verified on a local API 34 emulator: 68 tests, 0 failures, 3 skipped; and
with transformer.cancel() removed all five attempts produce a playable
video/hevc and the test fails, naming each one.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 6992f0e783 Reattach to a conversion that is still running (#230)
Reattachment.rank gives RUNNING the highest rank of all -- "live work
outranks a finished result because a running job is holding a foreground
service" -- and no test on either source set had ever produced one.
ReattachOnLaunchTest covers a job that finished, one whose staged file is
gone, an ambiguous pair, one still queued, and one the user cancelled.
ReattachmentTest exercises the ranking as a pure function over fabricated
snapshots. What was missing is a ViewModel meeting a real running job,
which is also the likeliest reattachment there is: the user starts a
conversion, leaves, and comes back while it is still going.

The engine is a fake, deliberately. The job has to still be running when
the ViewModel is built, and every real conversion in this suite finishes in
about a second -- racing that is what made the cancellation tests flaky
enough to need retries. A SoftwareTranscoder that blocks until released
removes the race outright. Nothing about reattachment depends on which
engine is transcoding: the tag query, Reattachment.choose over live
WorkManager state, and observe's mapping to Converting all run identically
whatever is doing the work.

This is what #230 can actually deliver, and the ticket asked for the answer
either way. Process death itself stays device-manual. D3/D13 already record
that am kill refuses a process holding a foreground service, and there is a
more basic obstacle underneath it: instrumentation runs in the app's own
process, so any route that really killed it would take the test runner with
it and leave nothing to assert with. Observing a relaunch needs two
instrumentation runs, which the runner does not provide. So the closest
observable analogue is a fresh ViewModel, with no memory of the work,
meeting a job that is genuinely mid-flight.

The teardown now resets ConversionDependencies. The suite runs without
Android Test Orchestrator, so a BlockingTranscoder left in place would hang
the next class that converts anything.

Verified on a local API 34 emulator: 67 tests, 0 failures, 3 skipped; and
making RUNNING unreattachable in Reattachment.rank fails this test and
nothing else -- which is also the evidence that the JVM ranking test was
not already covering it.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 802997439d Let a join read the files the user actually picked (#238, #225)
Joining files picked through the system picker failed outright whenever
the strategy was stream copy -- the matched-files case the UI advertises
as "joined without re-encoding, no quality loss".

  [ffkitsaf @ ...] Protocol 'ffkitsaf' not on whitelist 'file,crypto,data'!
  Error opening input file .../joined_from_content.concat_list.txt

JoinScreen picks with OpenMultipleDocuments, so real inputs are always
content://. ConcatEngine maps each through getSafParameterForRead and
FFmpegConcatCommand writes the resulting ffkitsaf: paths into the concat
list file. The demuxer applies its own protocol whitelist, defaulting to
file,crypto,data, and -safe 0 does not touch it: that permits absolute
paths, this permits the scheme they carry. Two separate gates, and only
one was open.

Nothing caught it because the two halves of the bug never met. Only
STREAM_COPY feeds the demuxer a list file -- REENCODE passes each input
with its own -i, where the whitelist does not apply -- so joining over SAF
worked for mismatched clips. And every join test passed Uri.fromFile,
which takes ConcatEngine's uri.path arm instead of the bridge, so
matchingClipsAreJoinedByStreamCopy exercised stream copy with a file:
path and passed. The one broken combination was the one no test produced
and the only one a user can reach.

That is #225's gap: FFmpegKitConfig.getSafParameterForRead is on every
real conversion and join, and was on no passing test -- only on
UnopenableUriTest's failure side, which proves the error message rather
than the bridge. ContentUriInputTest now drives both the convert and join
paths from a real content:// URI.

It uses a plain ContentProvider, because the documents provider cannot be
reached. Measured three ways: a DOCUMENTS_PROVIDER without MANAGE_DOCUMENTS
is refused at install, instrumentation runs in the target app's process so
Instrumentation.getContext() still carries the app's uid and is denied, and
adoptShellPermissionIdentity(MANAGE_DOCUMENTS) is denied identically -- the
denial naming ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT as the only way in. The bridge needs no
documents provider: it opens a descriptor through the resolver, so any
readable content:// URI exercises it, and an ordinary provider may be
exported unprotected. The whole class stays headless. Recorded on #226,
which that also settles: its cheap half does not exist.

Verified on a local API 34 emulator: 66 tests, 0 failures, 3 skipped; and
removing the -protocol_whitelist pair reproduces the production failure
verbatim in the join test and nothing else. FFmpegConcatCommandTest pins
the flag on the JVM.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 163ce54b77 Stop the cancel tests losing their race on a loaded runner
Both cancellation tests I added in ad2a75d and d293646 wait for
SessionState.RUNNING and then cancel. That is not enough. The conversion
one passed four consecutive local runs and all five CI legs, then failed
the API 34 and 35 legs of the next PR with state=COMPLETED rc=0, on a diff
that could not reach it. On a loaded runner the thread that observed
RUNNING can be descheduled long enough for a short encode to finish before
it calls cancel. A longer timeout does not help: the wait already
succeeded.

Two changes, because neither is sufficient alone.

A slower encode. The conversion test now targets WEBM_VP9 at BEST, the
slowest thing FFmpegCommandBuilder emits -- libvpx-vp9 -crf 31 -b:v 0,
with -deadline realtime added only on FAST. Probed on an API 34 emulator:
that session is still RUNNING at 1 s and finished by 2 s, against well
under a second for x265 -preset medium.

A bounded retry. An attempt whose session finished before the cancel
landed has not tested anything, so it is a miss rather than a failure and
is retried; only exhausting five attempts fails, and the message reports
every attempt's state and return code so a real breakage is distinguishable
from a slow machine.

The retry does not soften the test. With FFmpegKit.cancel removed from
both engines, every attempt ends COMPLETED, so both still fail -- verified,
each listing five [state=COMPLETED rc=0] outcomes. Two clean runs
beforehand at 64/0/0/3.

The join test gets the same treatment. It has not flaked yet, but it is
the same mechanism and the same fragility, and finding out on CI again is
not worth the round trip.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 5416788274 Cancel a running join session too (#224)
The FFmpegEngine half landed in ad2a75d; this is the same gap in
ConcatEngine. Between them, a real native session being asked to stop is
now covered on both FFmpeg paths.

The assertion is the session's return code again, and here that is not
merely the better choice but close to the only one: ConcatEngine does not
delete its output on cancellation at all. Its invokeOnCancellation is
FFmpegKit.cancel and nothing else, where FFmpegEngine's also deletes the
partial. Whether that asymmetry is deliberate is a separate question, so
this asserts what is true of both engines rather than depending on it.

The cancel triggers on SessionState.RUNNING rather than on progress.
ConcatWorker publishes no progress at all, so there is no callback to hang
it on even in principle -- and the conversion side already measured the
deeper reason, that the committed clips outrun a callback-triggered cancel.

The inputs are the mismatched pair on purpose, so ConcatPlanner chooses
REENCODE. A stream copy of two 2 s clips is close to instantaneous and
would leave nothing to interrupt; re-encoding is also the case where a user
would actually reach for Cancel.

Verified on a local API 34 emulator: three runs green at 64/0/0/3, and
replacing invokeOnCancellation's body with an empty block fails this test
and nothing else, with state=COMPLETED rc=0.

Media3Engine's transformer.cancel() is still uncovered and #224 stays open
for it.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 98c0e4dba2 Cancel a running FFmpeg session, which nothing had ever done (#224)
Every cancel in app/src/androidTest is WorkManager.cancelWorkById against
work that is queued or already finished: ReattachOnLaunchTest cancels a job
carrying a one-hour initial delay, and another immediately after enqueue.
On the JVM, WorkerCancellationTest and HardwareFallbackTest's cancellation
case drive a SoftwareTranscoder double that records the call. No test on
any source set had asked a real native session to stop. That is
docs/defect-audit.md D10's forcing condition.

It is the one path where cancelling wrong is silently expensive rather than
loudly broken: a missed FFmpegKit.cancel leaves the native process encoding
to completion while the UI says the job is cancelled.

Two things were measured rather than assumed, and both changed the test.

The output file cannot be the assertion. invokeOnCancellation deletes the
path, and on POSIX unlinking a file ffmpeg still holds open leaves ffmpeg
writing to the unlinked inode -- so the path stays gone whether or not the
cancel reached the session, and removing FFmpegKit.cancel passes that check
every time. The session's own verdict is what separates them: a cancelled
session ends with the cancel return code, a completed one does not.

Cancelling from the first progress callback loses the race. It was tried
first and failed with state=COMPLETED rc=0: every committed fixture is
2-3 s at 320x240, and the encode finishes before the first statistics
callback is delivered and acted on. FFmpegKit.listSessions shows the
session RUNNING far earlier, so that is what the test waits for.
QualityTier.BEST is deliberate for the same reason -- preset medium leaves
more of the encode ahead of the cancel.

Verified on a local API 34 emulator. Four consecutive runs green at
62/0/0/3, and removing FFmpegKit.cancel while keeping output.delete fails
this test and nothing else, with state=COMPLETED rc=1.

ConcatEngine and Media3Engine carry the same shape and are not covered
here; #224 stays open for them.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 557b3edab4 Compare the advisory failure count only on a run that finished
The verification dispatch of the reworked harness (34011072884) came back
4 expected / 3 received / 3 failed, where the one before it (34008889182) had
been 4/4/4 on the identical configuration. Nothing about the test list changed
between them: the abort landed one test earlier and the picker test never
started.

The baseline check would have called that "one now passes", which is the wrong
reading and the kind of notice #120 is about -- a deviation that is wrong often
enough to teach everyone to skim past deviation notices. So `failed` is compared
only when `completed cleanly` is yes, and `expected` is compared always, because
`Starting N tests` is printed before anything can abort and is what actually
answers "is the marked set the size the baseline says".

Two cases in e2e-report-shape-test.sh, as a pair: a truncated run short by one is
not a deviation, and a CLEAN run short by one still is -- so the first cannot have
bought its quiet by disabling the check.

This is a consequence of adding the fourth marker rather than a pre-existing bug
worth its own ticket: with three, the advisory leg had been completing.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 e0412329ff Press the Cancel button in the notification (#227)
ConversionNotifications.build attaches one action, wired to
WorkManager.createCancelPendingIntent(id). Until now
createCancelPendingIntent had no references anywhere outside its own
declaration -- no JVM test, no instrumented test.

That is worth more than an ordinary uncovered line. A conversion runs in a
foreground service and the user is invited to leave the app; once they do,
this action is the only way to stop it. If the PendingIntent carries the
wrong id the button does nothing, the notification stays, and the job runs
to completion, with no error, no log and no screen to look at.

The obvious version of this test reads NotificationManager's active
notifications for id 1001 and taps what it finds. Rejected: the
instrumented suite grants no runtime permissions, so POST_NOTIFICATIONS is
denied throughout, and whether a suppressed foreground-service notification
is returned there is a platform detail that varies. The test would be
asserting something about notification visibility rather than about
cancellation. The PendingIntent is the subject and where it is read from is
incidental, so this builds the notification for a real live work id and
fires its action -- a real dispatch reaching real WorkManager, the same way
on every API level.

The job carries an initial delay so it stays ENQUEUED. A conversion of the
3 s fixture finishes in well under a second on an emulator, so racing a
cancel against a running job would be flaky in the direction that fails,
and cancelWorkById acts on ENQUEUED identically. What is under test is
whether firing the action reaches WorkManager with the right id.

Verified both ways on a local API 34 emulator: 61 tests, 0 failures, 3
skipped as written; and building the PendingIntent from a random UUID
instead of the request's id fails the new test and nothing else.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 948d53b67e Read the progress percentage FFmpeg has always been computing (#229)
FFmpegEngine derives progress as stats.time / durationMs * 100, and the
statistics callback runs on every conversion in FFmpegEngineTest -- they
all pass durationMs = 3_000. But every call site omits onProgress, so
nothing on any source set had ever looked at the number. Replacing percent
with a constant reddened nothing.

What already existed covers the plumbing downstream and not this: #196
covered the worker's progress lambda with a fake engine that reports
whatever the test tells it to, and ProgressNotificationTest covers the
throttling the same way. The arithmetic was the one part with no reader.

The new test passes 30 s as the duration for a fixture that is exactly
3.000 s, so the conversion still encodes the whole clip and the reported
percentage tops out around 10 rather than 100.

That is what makes it bite. A range check alone is worthless: a constant 0
satisfies both "every value is in 0..100" and "the values never go
backwards", and so does a list of [0, 100]. Pinning the band rejects every
constant, and because the band sits a tenth of the way up it also rejects
an implementation that ignores durationMs, which would report ~100 for the
same run. The bound is loose -- 5..25 for an expected 10 -- because the
last statistics callback can land slightly before the final frame.

Verified on a local API 34 emulator: 61 tests, 0 failures, 3 skipped.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 ba16f5a89b Make the fallback test say when it cannot test the fallback (#223)
HardwareFallbackTest is the only automated check of the hardware->software
fallback against a real codec failure, and it passed on every CI leg
without ever attempting the hardware path.

Measured on run 34004304566: the API 33, 34, 35 and 37 legs each log

  Routing sample_h264_444.mp4 -> ... via FFMPEG (NO_HARDWARE_ENCODER)

Emulators expose no hardware encoder, so the router never chooses Media3
and runMedia3OrFallBack's catch is never entered. The test's assertions --
succeeded, output non-empty -- are true of that conversion too. It
finished in 448 ms, which is not long enough to fail an export and then
software-encode a three-second clip. Deleting the catch reddened nothing.

The ticket offered two fixes and left the choice open. Trying the first
one answered it, and not the way the ticket expected. Pinning
deviceCodecs to PERMISSIVE, as ForcedFailureTest does, makes the router
choose Media3 -- and the export then SUCCEEDS. On a local API 34
emulator, MediaCodecInfo logs

  NoSupport [codec.profileLevel, avc1.F4000C, video/avc]

for both c2.goldfish.h264.decoder and c2.android.avc.decoder, and
ExoPlayer allocates the goldfish decoder anyway, which decodes the High
4:4:4 fixture regardless of the profile it declares. c2.android.hevc.encoder
then encodes it and the job reports MEDIA3.

So the class KDoc's "Media3 fails partway through the export on every
device" is not true of the emulator images, and no routing pressure makes
this fixture force a fallback there. Pinning would also swap in software
codecs, which is not the path a real device takes -- it is what made the
forced run succeed.

That leaves assumeTrue on the production premise as the honest answer, now
with a measurement behind it rather than a coin flip. The test skips where
it cannot mean anything and runs on the Pixel, where it always could.

When it does run the assertion is a pair, because KEY_ENGINE_USED is
FFMPEG whether the fallback fired or the router went straight there:
the router chose MEDIA3 for this request on this device, AND the worker
reported FFMPEG. Together, and only together, that is the fallback.

Verified on a local API 34 emulator: the test reports SKIPPED and the
level reports skipped=3. ForcedFailureTest still covers the fallback
wiring on every leg with a double; what needs a real encoder is two real
engines disagreeing about a real file.

The third permanent skip is recorded in docs/local-emulator.md and beside
SafPickerRoundTripTest's run-shape note.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 9f06eb9988 Check that FLAC and Opus are FLAC and Opus (#228)
encodesFlacLosslessAudio and encodesOpus asserted only that a non-empty
file appeared. Five siblings in the same class check what is in it --
encodesWav reads RIFF two lines away, and GIF, Matroska, MP3, H.264 and
H.265 all assert a container marker or a track MIME.

convert() throws on a non-zero return code, so these two did prove the
command ran. What they could not distinguish is the command running and
producing the wrong thing, which is a failure mode this codebase has
already had once: F1 in docs/coverage-read-findings.md records a live
Vorbis arm in FFmpegCommandBuilder that ContainerCapabilities says cannot
exist. Pointing OutputFormat.FLAC's arm at pcm_s16le left both tests green.

Four bytes each, in the idiom the class already uses. OutputFormat.FLAC is
Container.FLAC, whose ffmpeg format is "flac", so the file opens with the
native stream marker fLaC. OutputFormat.OPUS is Container.OGG -- "ogg" --
so it is an Ogg stream and opens with OggS. Verified against both muxers
directly rather than assumed from the codec name; the marker belongs to the
container, so it does not vary with the ffmpeg build.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 d759ef32f1 Take the picker test off the API 37 gating leg, and give the SystemUI disable root
The gating `E2E API 37` leg failed three of the last ten status_check runs. Four
runs were read logcat-first -- 34006456986, 34001744574, 34001377499 and the
green 34002313300 -- and each carries exactly two `hasReadColorBufferDma` aborts
before the suite (surfaceflinger, during boot and the SystemUI disable) and
exactly one during it: `system_server`, thread `TaskSnapshotPer`, always inside
`pickingAFileThroughTheSystemPickerFillsInTheFileCard`'s window. Nothing else in
the gating set reaches the mapper.

So that test kills the framework on this image whether it passes or not, and
whether the leg goes red is luck: 34001377499 passed it and lost the leg anyway
with `failed: 0`, 34002313300 passed it 0.6 s after the abort and went green.
That is #108. The test now carries `@FailsOnEmulatorApi37` and the baseline goes
3 -> 4; the marker's own wording widens from "does not pass on this image" to
"cannot be run on this image", because this carrier passes about half the time.

`docs/api-37-emulator-crash.md` had counted those aborts on 2026-08-24, put them
in its table, and then read the pass/fail column alone. The correction is
recorded beside the original rather than replacing it. Probed on the same image
and recorded there too: there is no shell knob for task snapshots -- not in
`getprop`, `settings`, `device_config` or `cmd window` -- so the marker is the
available answer rather than the lazy one.

Two separate defects came out of the same logcats.

`disable_region_sampling` has never restarted the framework on CI. `adb shell
stop` and `start` are root-only and every API 37 leg has printed `Must be root`
for both, so SystemUI stayed up for the whole run -- visible directly as
`WindowManagerShell ... app=com.android.systemui` minutes after "final state:
SystemUI disabled". Both waits also printed their own exhaustion as an elapsed
time, so "system_server down after ~40 s" is what a stop that did nothing looks
like. Measured on the local android-37.0 AVD, same fingerprint as CI: `adb root`
makes `stop` return 0 with `pidof system_server` empty. Root is dropped again
before Gradle runs, and both waits now say whether they observed anything.

And when the picker test does fail, the abort is the coda rather than the cause:
`InputDispatcher: No new touched window at (539.0, 525.0)` is in both reds and
absent from the green, so the tap on the root is discarded, the picker is never
navigated, and all four back presses land on an activity WindowManager says has
not added a window yet. `forceStopThePicker` goes around input entirely so
`pickTheFixture`'s whole-picker retry -- which exists for exactly this -- becomes
reachable. That one is a fix on every API level, not just 37.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 39327beea7 Assert the join failure message against a real FFmpeg session
#217 closed by noting the join legs had not been run locally. Running them would
not have answered it: nothing on either source set drove a real join *failure*,
so the message unified in #203 was asserted only against values a JVM test hands
to sessionOutcome directly. CI had already run those legs green on the merged
commit, so the outstanding item was a gap in coverage rather than a gap in
execution.

The new case forces a failure with an input that does not exist -- rejected the
same way by every FFmpeg build, unlike malformed media -- and asserts the message
names the operation, carries the return code, and has detail after it.

That last clause is the device-only half. getReturnCode, getFailStackTrace and
getAllLogsAsString are native reads; if the log tail came back empty on a device
the user would see "Joining failed (1): " with nothing after the colon, and every
JVM test would still pass.

It deliberately does not pin which detail source wins. On an ordinary non-zero
return code FFmpegKit reports no fail stack trace, so stack-trace-first and
log-tail-first produce identical text and no assertion here could tell them
apart. SessionOutcomeTest pins that, where both sources can be non-blank at once.
Claiming it here would be a KDoc asserting more than the test checks.

Measured on the local API 33 emulator: 61/61 green with the test, and with both
detail sources nulled in ConcatEngine it fails on the intended assertion --
"the message stopped at the return code and told the user nothing, was:
'Joining failed (1): '" -- so the prefix and return code survive the mutation and
only the device-only claim goes red.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 32ab54da3c Wait for the rotation to rebuild the Activity, not for the composition to idle
thePickedInputSurvivesARealRotation synchronised a rotation with waitForIdle(),
which waits for the compose hierarchy to settle. Right after a rotation the
window manager has accepted but not yet delivered as a configuration change, the
old Activity's composition is already idle -- so it returns, composeRule.activity
still resolves to the old instance, and the guard reads an unchanged identity
hash. Nothing waited for MainActivity to be rebuilt.

That is the clean AssertionError on #217's API 33 gating leg, run 33698846104:
it failed the SECOND guard, so the first had passed and the display really had
rotated. The wedges this ticket opened with are the same race taken the other
way -- land while the composition is being torn down and waitForIdle has nothing
coherent to settle on.

awaitRecreation() waits on a counter fed by the runner's lifecycle monitor,
bounded at 15 s. Deliberately not polling composeRule.activity: that resolves
through scenario.onActivity, which blocks on the main thread, so polling it
across a recreation is a plausible reading of the very wedge being fixed.

Both guards stay. The identity-hash one is now a backstop rather than the
primary detector -- a configChanges attribute trips the barrier's timeout first,
with a message saying what was waited for.

Measured on the local API 33 emulator. With the fix, 60/60 green. With the
watcher mutated so the counter never increments, the test fails in 15 s naming
itself and its condition, and the run still reports received 60/60 completed
cleanly -- where the same missing recreation used to cost the leg 20 minutes and
name nothing. The pre-fix flake does not reproduce on this host, so that is a
demonstration of the timeout path, not a before/after.

JMR-dev 2e0c6737d6 Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into merge-113-tmp 2026-08-25 21:09:13 -05:00
JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 238142d9cc Guard the whole Media3 export instead of only its two ends
transcode() posts its work to a HandlerThread, and everything on that
thread has no caller to throw back to: an escaping exception reaches the
thread's uncaught handler and takes the process down, while the
continuation is never resumed. Both halves of that are bad, and the
second is arguably worse — a worker left suspended forever holds a
foreground service.

The guarding was two narrow runCatching blocks, one around
buildTransformer and one around transformer.start, with the two Media3
builders sitting unguarded between them. That gap was not theoretical.
EditedMediaItem.Builder rejects a composition with both tracks removed,
which is exactly what a plan of (Drop, Drop) asks for, and it does so
with a plain IllegalStateException from the constructor.

Validation now refuses the spec that produces such a plan, so neither
the picker nor ConversionWorker will start one. Routing is a separate
question and still answers Media3 for it — a dropped track makes nothing
un-hardware-able — so a request that skips validation still arrives
here: a job queued before the settings changed, or one made through
ConversionWorker.request directly. CopyPlanner's own KDoc already names
that path as the reason it re-checks what validation has checked; this
is the same belt for the same braces.

One guard around the whole body costs nothing on success and turns any
such refusal into a failed job with a reason attached. The export body
moves into startExport, whose contract is the thing that makes one guard
enough: returning normally means the export is running and the listener
owns the continuation, throwing means it never started and the caller
does. Cancellation is still registered before start.

Covered twice on purpose. Robolectric runs the real HandlerThread and
the real Media3 builders, so the JVM test exercises the whole sequence
and can be run anywhere; the instrumented one repeats it against the
real framework. Neither asserts only that the failure is an
IllegalStateException, because withTimeout raises
TimeoutCancellationException and java.util.concurrent.CancellationException
extends IllegalStateException — so that assertion alone calls an
unresumed continuation a pass. Both were written that way first, and
reverting the guard is what exposed it.

JMR-dev 3e9528454c Announce a baseline it cannot read, rather than falling quiet
"A comparison was asked for" and "a number was found to compare against" were one
variable, and collapsing them put the report one refactor away from being the
thing #83 filed. The sed that reads FAILS_ON_EMULATOR_API37_BASELINE is anchored
at the line start, so indenting the const into an object -- or renaming it, or
moving it -- empties it, and the old code then skipped the whole comparison while
the table kept printing exactly as before. Silent, and indistinguishable from a
run that matched.

Now an unreadable baseline is itself a deviation, with the notice naming the
const so the fix is obvious. Verified against the real captured log of run
32865281555 three ways: baseline file absent, const indented into an object, and
the committed file unchanged -- the first two announce, the third stays silent.

JMR-dev 0702916229 Say what the advisory API 37 job actually found, so a new failure is not invisible
That job is continue-on-error and red on every PR by design, which CLAUDE.md
states plainly -- and that instruction is exactly why nobody reads it. Nothing in
a red X separates "the known three" from "the known three plus yours".

A bare failure count would not have fixed it, and this is measured rather than
assumed. The run is usually truncated: seven of eight advisory runs read on
2026-08-25 ended in `Test run failed to complete. Expected 3 tests, received 2.`
with INSTRUMENTATION_ABORTED, and one did not. A count taken from a truncated run
misleads in both directions -- a fourth marked test can still yield the same
number if the abort lands earlier, and the known set getting worse can lower it.

The test XML does not rescue it either, which was the thing worth checking before
building on it: it IS written for an aborted run, and it reports a tidy
tests="3" failures="3" for a run the runner had just described as truncated. So
the XML is the authority on how many results landed, the runner's own output is
the only authority on whether the run finished, and the report reads both and
says which number came from where.

The baseline is one number beside the marker, because the marker means "cannot
pass on this image": the count is both how many tests the advisory leg runs and
how many should fail. A smaller failure count is the interesting direction -- it
means one now passes, which is the documented trigger for deleting the
annotation.

Nothing about the job's status changes. It stays continue-on-error, stays red,
stays out of the required contexts; a deviation is a ::notice::, never an
::error::. The report is a separate script so it can be run against a real log
saved from a real CI run, which is how the comparison was shown to fire.

The gating legs get the shape without the comparison: they run the whole suite,
so comparing there would announce a deviation five times a run -- but a truncated
run reporting fewer results than it ran is what #108 looks like, and "completed
cleanly" is the field that would show it.

Closes #83

JMR-dev d37c391c60 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.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 25f162923c 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.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 3925f1aa9f 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.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 a3c835b7c9 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.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 650ca8fca3 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.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 b18f45def7 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.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 225ecdd7e6 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

"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.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 2a68f03134 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.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 ec969c41dc 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.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 f4962913e1 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.

Tool output only, no hand edits, so this is safe to read with whitespace

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 b5d5fcfeff 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.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 92b7395ba9 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.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 2e0cf2f5d6 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.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 00c422f317 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.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 dd2fcf0a19 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.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 a172cb137f 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.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 99bd961022 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.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 83fb55515b 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.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 356c04d137 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.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 ec6e37ad08 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.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 64e146ce5d 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.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 2fcacd199c 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.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 438f21783f Make the foreground-service test read the running API level
The three foreground-service-type regimes (none at 33, dataSync at 34,
mediaProcessing at 35+) are the reason ConversionForegroundType exists, so
the test derives its expectation from Build.VERSION rather than pinning one
value. The same test then means something on any device in the supported
range instead of only on the one it was written against.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 0c352cdcfb 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.

JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 e84ab6a89d 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.
