Two results from #223-#230 that belong with the read rather than only in
their own tickets.
E7 re-scoped its own ticket. #226 split into a cheap headless half and an
expensive picker-driven one, on the premise that a real DocumentsProvider
can be reached without DocumentsUI. It cannot: an unprotected one is
refused at install, instrumentation runs in the app's uid so the test APK's
own identity is no help, and adopting shell identity is denied too -- each
denial naming ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT as the only way in. Measured three ways.
So #226 is one item at the picker's cost, not two.
The useful half of that distinction is that the input bridge needs no
documents provider at all. getSafParameterForRead opens a descriptor
through the resolver, so any readable content:// URI exercises it, which is
what kept #225 headless.
And that is how the read's one production defect surfaced. #238: joining
files picked through the system picker failed outright on the stream-copy
path, because the concat demuxer whitelists protocols separately from
-safe 0 and ffkitsaf was not on the list. Only STREAM_COPY feeds the
demuxer a list file, and every existing join test passed Uri.fromFile, so
the one broken combination was the only one a user could reach.
Worth stating plainly next to the coverage entry: it was not a missed line
and not an unasserted value, but two covered things no test put together --
the gap shape a coverage number is worst at, and the reason the read
happened.
E4 is marked fixed; #243 made that KDoc name the constant rather than
restate it.
