What's Been Shipped (March 14β15)
A massive burst of implementation work landed on main, covering virtually the entire WBS:
| Area |
What Was Built |
| ποΈ Service Layer |
StreamingService (FGS lifecycle + state machine), ConnectionManager (exponential backoff + Doze awareness), EncoderController (Mutex-serialized quality changes) |
| π₯ Camera & Media |
RtmpCamera2Bridge integration, camera switching, mute toggle, audio focus handling, media mode transitions (video+audio β audio-only) |
| π₯ Resilience |
Thermal monitoring (API 29+ & 23-28 paths), battery monitor (warn at 5%, stop at 2%), camera revocation handler, microphone revocation handler |
| πΌοΈ UI |
StreamScreen with landscape-first HUD (bitrate, FPS, duration, thermal badge), Compose navigation graph, Settings Hub, Endpoint management screen |
| π Security |
CredentialSanitizer, RedactingLogger, ACRA configurator (no LOGCAT/SHARED_PREFS), intent security (profile-ID-only FGS start) |
| β
Tests |
150 unit tests passing across all core modules |
| π§ CI/CD |
GitHub Actions APK release workflow with input tag support |

Action Needed |
#5 |
Fix: energy-saving mode stops RTMP stream |
π‘ Draft |
β Priority review β implements energy-saving as a pure UI overlay, keeping camera/encoder untouched during preview dim |
#6 |
No changes: non-actionable issue |
π‘ Draft |
ποΈ Safe to close β unrelated personal query, no code changes |
π Open Issues
No open issues. The tracker is clean! π§Ή
π Architecture Wins
The codebase is following the spec closely:
- β
Single source of truth β
StreamingService owns StreamState and StreamStats via StateFlow
- β
Security hard rules β No credentials in Intent extras,
EncryptedSharedPreferences for secrets, CredentialSanitizer on all log paths
- β
API branching β Thermal monitoring has proper API 29+ and API 23β28 paths
- β
Encoder serialization β
EncoderController uses coroutine Mutex (not synchronized)
- β
FOSS flavor β
foss and gms flavors both building, no GMS leakage in FOSS classpath
π― Actionable Next Steps
-
Review & merge PR #5 β The energy-saving bug fix is well-scoped and architecturally sound. It keeps CameraPreview in the Compose composition and overlays a dark scrim β exactly the right approach per the service layer rules.
-
Close PR #6 β It's a stale draft with zero code changes from an accidental non-engineering query.
-
Instrumented tests on device β The 150 unit tests are green; next step is running ./gradlew connectedFossDebugAndroidTest on a real device to validate camera preview, RTMP streaming, and surface lifecycle.
-
Settings screens validation β VideoAudioSettingsScreen, GeneralSettingsScreen, and SettingsViewModel are wired up; a quick smoke test of the settings flows would be valuable.
-
Consider a v0.0.2 milestone β PR #5 + any polish work could be bundled into the next tagged release.
π‘ Recommendations
- π ProGuard / R8 (T-034): Verify
assembleFossRelease works end-to-end with the current R8 rules before the next release.
- π± NFR measurements (T-035): Validate startup time < 2s and battery drain β€ 15%/hr on a mid-range device β these are spec Must-level requirements.
- π Backup rules (T-032): Double-check
android:allowBackup="false" is set in the manifest and that BackupAgent excludes encrypted prefs.
