Summary

Direct installs can check for, download and verify updates inside boxlore. Native compact/full-screen announcements keep actions visible while content scrolls. Release publishing prepares an announcement preview for approval instead of sending automatically.

Stack: depends on #1108. This PR contains only the app, sender and release integration changes above that tooling prerequisite. Merge the prerequisite first, then retarget this PR to master.

Motivation

Update downloads needed verification and recovery, notification actions needed consistent routing, and release announcements needed reviewed delivery with install-channel filtering.

What changed

  • Add cached update checks, an icon-only update action, Settings → Check for updates, Markdown release notes and Coming next content.
  • Separate optimized direct APK and Play bundle variants. Direct updates verify checksum, package, version, Android compatibility and signing identity before the explicit Android installation step; Play bundles exclude the APK installer and its permission.
  • Preserve downloads and prepared installation through permission settings, cancellation and process recreation.
  • Render compact/full-screen announcements natively with fixed actions. Release alerts offer Download update, View on GitHub and Dismiss.
  • Fix cold/warm notification action routing and filter only release alerts by install channel and version.
  • Connect reviewed composer drafts to the sender with matching approval digests, isolated audiences, offline rehearsal and optimized on-device test fixtures.
  • Publish verified update manifests, serialize metadata jobs and refresh Coming next without altering APK metadata or sending an alert. Preserve quiet same-version refreshes.
  • Extend release/manual R8 checks to direct APK and Play outputs without adding an optimized-build PR gate.

Behavior & compatibility

Optional payload fields retain legacy defaults. Ordinary alerts and episode notifications still support both channels. Strict direct-only release sends use the new install-channel topic; older clients on the shared production topic are excluded until updated. A reviewed manual include-Play override remains available.

Background update checks never open a dialog, download or install. Installation requires an explicit action and Android confirmation. The isolated optimized test build uses only a loopback update feed and test announcement audience; shipping validation rejects its receiver and markers.

Impact

  • user-impact-high

Listener impact

Listeners who installed from GitHub can download updates in boxlore and return from Android's install-permission screen without losing the prepared update. Long release notes remain readable and notification actions open their intended destination. Play installs continue using Google Play updates.

Release copy

Added

  • Add cached update manifests, verified resumable APK updates, a Play-specific release variant, and release notes with upcoming changes.
  • Add native compact and full-screen announcements, reviewed sender integration, isolated optimized test builds, and offline release rehearsal.

Changed

  • Publish verified update metadata, serialize metadata jobs, and prepare release announcements for approval instead of automatic delivery.
  • Extend optimized release contract validation to direct APK and Play bundle outputs, including installer exclusion and test-artifact rejection.

Fixed

  • Route notification actions consistently on cold and warm launches, and restrict GitHub release alerts to eligible install channels.
  • Preserve updater recovery through permission settings, cancelled installation and process recreation, and clear completed update sessions.

Improvements

  • Download updates in boxlore if you installed from GitHub, with download progress and checks before installation.
  • Read release notes and upcoming changes from Settings → Check for updates.
  • Read longer announcements in compact or full-screen layouts, with actions that stay visible as you scroll.

Fixes

  • Notification actions open the intended screen or link whether boxlore is already open or starting.
  • Prepared updates remain available after returning from Android's install-permission settings or cancelling installation.

Test plan

  • Full Android gate: architecture guards, detekt, ktlint, JVM tests, coverage, dependency guards and lint.
  • Complete stack: 110 Python tests and 12 browser composer tests pass.
  • Optimized direct APK / Play builds, release lint and R8 contracts pass; installer exclusion verified.
  • Optimized isolated device testing: update download/install recovery and long release notes; compact/full-screen alert screenshots with fixed actions.
  • Split preserves the exact previously tested complete tree; current optimized v28 installed on the phone.
  • Remote CI, CodeRabbit findings and zero Sonar new-code issues before merge.

Notes

No production alerts, releases or admin deployment were performed. Initial update-feed publication and admin hosting remain separate rollout steps. The existing release-branch preparation flow remains. Browser previews follow the native visual specification; custom themes and Android-owned system bars/notifications require device verification. The final dialog system-bar contrast adjustment has JVM coverage; its final phone screenshot remains to be confirmed.

Walkthrough

The changes add direct and Play update flows, including manifest validation, update checks, APK installation, and update interfaces. They also expand announcement planning, targeting, routing, and presentation. Release scripts and workflows add rehearsal, artifact verification, manifest publication, and local preview support.

Changes

App update flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Manifest generation and update discovery
.github/scripts/generate_update_manifest.py, .github/scripts/refresh_upcoming.py, app/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/updates/*
Manifest tools extract release and upcoming notes and encode bounded update metadata. The app validates manifests, checks direct or Play update sources, and stores check results.
Transfer, installation, and test builds
app/build.gradle.kts, app/src/direct/.../updates/*, app/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/updates/AppUpdates.kt, app/src/playRelease/..., app/src/updateTest/*, app/src/test/.../updates/*
The app resumes and verifies APK downloads, checks APK identity, and manages install sessions. Build variants and tests cover direct, Play, and isolated update paths.
Update interface and entry points
app/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/updates/*, app/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/MainActivity.kt, app/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/navigation/NavGraphSettingsDestinations.kt, core/designsystem/src/main/java/.../components/*, feature/settings/src/main/java/..., app/src/main/res/values/updates.xml, app/README.md
The update panel displays check status, release notes, upcoming changes, and available update actions. Activity, settings, and toolbar actions connect to update handling.

Announcement flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Announcement data and targeting
app/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/fcm/*, core/prefs/src/main/java/.../UserPreferencesRepository.kt, app/src/test/.../fcm/*, core/prefs/src/test/.../AnnouncementPreferencesTest.kt
Announcement payloads and preferences include presentation and release fields. Policy checks and topic selection handle build type, release version, and Play inclusion.
Delivery, routing, and presentation
app/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/fcm/BoxLoreFcmService.kt, app/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/navigation/*, app/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/ui/*, app/src/test/.../navigation/*, app/src/test/.../ui/announcement/*
FCM and app routing apply announcement policies and sanitize push targets. The dialog renders configured announcement actions, tones, images, and Markdown content.
Preview and dispatch tooling
.github/scripts/manual_dispatch.py, .github/scripts/preview_announcement_on_device.py, .github/scripts/serve_update_test.py, .github/scripts/sync_announcement_preview.py, .github/workflows/send-notification.yml, .github/scripts/test_*
Dispatch tooling validates announcement plans, supports offline previews and approval digests, and can send a local preview to an isolated test build. Tests cover preview, dispatch, and local update fixtures.

Release operations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rehearsal, verification, and publication
.github/scripts/rehearse_release.py, .github/scripts/release_classfile.py, .github/scripts/verify_release_contracts.py, .github/workflows/changelog-on-merge.yml, .github/workflows/release-contracts.yml, .github/workflows/release-rehearsal.yml
Release workflows build and verify the release APK and Play AAB, publish or refresh update manifests, and configure a preview-only release announcement. The rehearsal workflow writes candidate artifacts without publishing them.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 99dbe

The release workflows can publish a replacement APK while the update manifest still describes the old file. Direct-install users would then see update downloads fail checksum verification. A pending release publication can also be cancelled without notice when another PR merges. Fix the workflow token and the concurrency grouping before merging.

🔵 Trivial · Remove the duplicate suppression check and correct the log text. · BoxLoreFcmService.kt:71-77

app/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/fcm/BoxLoreFcmService.kt:71-77
📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Remove the duplicate suppression check and correct the log text.

onMessageReceived already returns at Line 58 when shouldSuppressAnnouncement is true. As a result, the check in handlePushAnnouncement never succeeds. The log message also still says "Whats New push on Play Store install", but suppression now covers test-only, isolated-build, and release-version cases too. Delete the duplicate block.

♻️ Proposed fix
     private fun handlePushAnnouncement(parsed: ParsedFcmNotification, type: String) {
-        if (applicationContext.shouldSuppressAnnouncement(parsed.toAnnouncement())) {
-            android.util.Log.d(
-                "BoxLoreFcmService",
-                "Skipping Whats New push on Play Store install (category=${parsed.category})",

Inline comments:
Review comments at @.github/scripts/generate_update_manifest.py:
- Around line 70-71: Update the release-notes length check to count UTF-16 code
units, matching the client’s 24,000-unit limit. Use the same UTF-16 counting
approach already used by upcoming_notes and serve_update_test.py.

Review comments at @.github/scripts/manual_dispatch.py:
- Around line 73-74: Update the release_url handling so that when a non-empty
args.release_url is provided while data["release_alert"] is not "true", it
raises a ValueError instead of silently dropping the URL. Preserve assigning
release_url to data when the alert is enabled.

Review comments at @.github/workflows/changelog-on-merge.yml:
- Line 68: Separate `update-changelog` and release-publication jobs from the
shared concurrency group so queued PR merges cannot cancel pending release work
or changelog updates; retain shared serialization only for jobs that write
`update.json`, moving the “Refresh Coming next” step to its own concurrency
group if needed.
- Line 1268: Update the GH_TOKEN in the “Publish verified update manifest” step
to use secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN, which is available in refresh-latest-artifacts,
instead of the unavailable app-token output. Keep the change limited to the
token source.

Review comments at @.github/workflows/send-notification.yml:
- Line 308: Update the actions/upload-artifact reference in this workflow from
the mutable @v4 tag to the immutable commit SHA for its v4 release, preserving
the existing action version and step behavior.

Review comments at
@app/src/test/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/updates/AppUpdatesPanelTest.kt:
- Line 102: Update the assertion in the AppUpdatesPanelTest test to check for
the actual up-to-date copy, “You’re up to date,” so the test detects when that
status is incorrectly displayed.

Review comments at @core/designsystem/README.md:
- Line 16: Update the TopBarUtilityActions description to match its
implementation: document segments as 43 × 33 dp, Feedback/Settings icons as 20
dp, and the update symbol as 22 dp. Keep the remaining behavior and API
description unchanged.

Review comments at
@core/prefs/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/core/prefs/UserPreferencesRepository.kt:
- Around line 1091-1098: Move the announcement preference keys, Announcement
model, stream, and setters out of UserPreferencesRepository into a same-package
AnnouncementPreferences helper, and delegate the existing public repository API
to it. Keep UserPreferencesRepository under the 1000-line limit without changing
its public behavior.
