WebServer wrote the stored MIME type into Content-Type verbatim, and no ContentTypes.value in documentation.db carries a charset — so every text response left its encoding unstated. A client that doesn't assume UTF-8 falls back to a legacy single-byte encoding.

Of 500 sampled text/* rows, 328 (66%) contain non-ASCII bytes with no BOM. Observed on device while confirming ADFA-5239: a/android/R.id.html renders    ↳android.R.id where the page says ↳android.R.id. Screenshot is on ADFA-5239.

Why this stayed hidden

Two things masked it. Those pages were being served as text/plain (ADFA-5239), so they rendered as source rather than as documents — mojibake in escaped markup looks like nothing at all. And Android's WebSettings.defaultTextEncodingName defaults to UTF-8, which likely spares the in-app viewer; nothing in the app sets that property, so it relies on the default.

Neither is a reason to leave the header unstated:

  • Correctness by client default is per-client behaviour, not something this server declares. Any consumer that isn't an Android WebView gets it wrong, as the screenshot shows.
  • The same file already does it the other way for its hardcoded responses (WebServer.kt:1176, :1225, :1247, :1310 all send ; charset=utf-8). Only database-sourced content was missing it.
  • The two transports disagreed. ADFA-5176's in-process path already defaults text/* to utf-8 in DocumentationRequestInterceptor.mimeAndCharset.

Where the decision lives

common/ContentTypeHeaders, not WebServer — because of that last point. Two transports giving different answers about what a response says is worse than either answer, so the predicate is in one place for ADFA-5176 to adopt on its rebase.

What gets a charset: every text subtype, including the database's malformed bare text (which 726 TooltipButtons reach via x.html) and text/text; XML-based types, since SVG usually omits its own declaration and a transport charset takes precedence anyway. Not application/json — RFC 8259 defines no charset parameter for it and fixes the encoding as UTF-8, so declaring one says nothing. There's a test asserting that, so nobody "fixes" it later. An already-declared charset is never doubled.

Deliberately not fixed in the database

Putting the parameter in ContentTypes.value would work for both readers — but that column doubles as a lookup key matched exactly by ExtensionToContentTypeResolver (the plugin installer would skip every HTML asset), by docdb-studio's anchor extraction, and by three OfflineDocumentationTools scripts. Two of those fail silently. Full analysis on ADFA-5241.

Tests

7 for the helper — text types, the two malformed ones, XML, the whole binary set, the JSON exclusion, no doubling, and casing/parameter tolerance — plus one that opens a socket against a running server and asserts the literal Content-Type: line for a text row and a binary row. The helper being right doesn't prove the response is.

Verified on hardware

Built, installed on an SM-N986U and checked against the live server. Headers, same session:

a/android/R.id.html                     text/html; charset=utf-8
k/html/basic-syntax.html                text/html; charset=utf-8
i/index.html                            text/html; charset=utf-8
x.html                                  text; charset=utf-8
...notification-permission...flow.svg   image/svg+xml; charset=utf-8
...appwidgets_size-range.gif            image/gif
...constraint-layout-chain.mov          video/quicktime

Text and XML-based types declare the encoding, binary types are untouched, and the malformed bare text gets one too — which is the intent.

Rendering confirmed as well: a/android/R.id.html now shows ↳ android.R.id where it showed    ↳android.R.id an hour earlier, and the signature block sets in proper monospace, since the broken bytes had been disrupting the page's inlined CSS and not only its text. Before/after screenshots are on ADFA-5241 and ADFA-5239.

No UI change, so no font-scale check applies.

…abase

WebServer wrote the stored MIME type into Content-Type verbatim, and no
ContentTypes.value in documentation.db carries a charset, so every text
response left its encoding unstated. A client that does not assume UTF-8 falls
back to a legacy single-byte encoding: of 500 sampled text rows, 328 (66%)
contain non-ASCII bytes with no BOM, and those render as mojibake. Observed on
device while confirming ADFA-5239 -- a/android/R.id.html shows
"   ↳android.R.id" where the page says "↳android.R.id".

Two things made this invisible until now. Those pages were being served as
text/plain (ADFA-5239), so they rendered as source rather than as documents,
and Android's WebSettings.defaultTextEncodingName defaults to UTF-8, which
likely spares the in-app viewer -- nothing in the app sets that property, so it
relies on the default. Neither is a reason to leave the header unstated:
correctness by client default is per-client behaviour, not something this
server declares, and the same file already sends "; charset=utf-8" on its
hardcoded responses (lines 1176, 1225, 1247, 1310). Only database-sourced
content was missing it.

The predicate lives in common/ContentTypeHeaders rather than in WebServer,
because ADFA-5176's in-process transport already answers this question on its
own -- DocumentationRequestInterceptor.mimeAndCharset defaults text/* to utf-8
-- and the two transports disagreeing about what a response says is worse than
either answer. That branch should adopt this on its rebase.

What gets a charset, and why not more: every text subtype, including the
database's malformed bare "text" (which 726 TooltipButtons reach via x.html)
and "text/text"; XML-based types, since SVG usually omits its own declaration
and a transport charset takes precedence anyway. Not application/json -- RFC
8259 defines no charset parameter for it and fixes the encoding as UTF-8, so
declaring one says nothing; there is a test asserting that, so nobody "fixes"

not prove the response is.

…undaries

Both from CodeRabbit on PR #1725.

`type.startsWith("text")` classified `textual/example` as a text response. The
comment beside it already said the intent was "every text subtype, plus the
bare text oddity" -- the code just did not say that. Now `type == "text" ||
type.startsWith("text/")`.

`mimeType.contains("charset=")` found the substring inside *another*
parameter's value, so `text/html; note="charset=utf-8"` looked like it already
declared an encoding and got none added. Parameters are now split on `;` and
matched by name, which also keeps `text/html;boundary=x` working.

Neither case exists in documentation.db today -- no ContentTypes.value carries
a parameter at all -- so this is about the helper being honest rather than a
live defect. Both have regression tests.

Also dropped the non-ASCII from the KDoc, which quoted the mojibake it was
describing. The ASCII policy exempts a glyph doing real visual work, and I had
read the example as qualifying; naming the code point instead reads the same,
which means it does not qualify. The file is now pure ASCII.

…nts as text

From the code review on PR #1725. Four correctness findings, all real.

Splitting on ';' still finds "charset=" inside a quoted value that contains a
semicolon -- text/html; note="x; charset=utf-8" -- so the helper concluded a
charset was already declared and sent none at all: the exact failure its own
KDoc claimed the split prevented. And a parameter with no value (; charset) or
an empty one (; charset=) was read as a declaration, with the same result.
Parameters are now parsed with quote awareness, and only a charset parameter
with a non-empty value counts as declared.

The textual application/* list omitted application/javascript, which does have
rows and is what ExtensionToContentTypeResolver maps ".mjs" to, so real files
served undeclared -- the bug this class exists to prevent. Added it along with
ecmascript and x-sh, and said in the comment that the list is a list precisely
because these types share no marker, so anything textual arriving later has to
be added rather than assumed covered.

The header value is now built before the status line goes out. The writer
autoflushes, so a throw after the first println made sendError append a second
status line to a response that already claimed 200, which a client parses as a
malformed header rather than as an error. dbMimeType is a platform type from
Cursor.getString, so a NULL ContentTypes.value is a real way to reach that
throw.

typeAndCharset is exposed because ADFA-5176's interceptor needs the type and
the charset apart for WebResourceResponse and was re-implementing the parse to
get them -- with the naive substring match this file warns against. The class
was created so both transports answer alike; keeping the parse private meant
they agreed on the default and disagreed on reading what was already there.

The "two thirds" statistic is replaced with a full census of the database it
was measured on: 17,903 of 29,139 text rows, 61.4%. The review measured 22.5%
against the bundled asset, which is an older export -- both numbers are right
for their own database, so the KDoc now names which one and says the rate is
per-generation.

Four regression tests for the parsing cases, one for the textual types, one for
typeAndCharset. The header assertion now prints the whole response when no
Content-Type is found instead of throwing NoSuchElementException, and no
longer declares a compression-dictionary version it does not use.

…med inputs

Both from the re-review on #1725.

An escaped quote no longer ends a quoted parameter value. RFC 9110's quoted-pair
means \" does not close the string, but the parser toggled on every quote, so
text/html; note="a\"; charset=iso-8859-1 parsed as two parameters and the
charset inside note read as a declaration -- the same false match this class
exists to prevent.

An empty charset parameter is now left alone rather than contradicted.
headerValue used to append a second charset, producing
text/html; charset=; charset=utf-8. Recipients keep an empty valued parameter
and ignore a repeated name, so that append claims a fix it does not make. A
parameter with no = at all is still appended to, because that one really is
dropped during parsing, so the appended charset takes effect. typeAndCharset
keeps substituting the default either way -- it hands the charset back as its
own value, where nothing can conflict with it.

Both tests were confirmed to fail against the previous parser.

Its KDoc said null meant the type already carried a charset, without saying that
an empty one counts -- which is the interesting case, and the reason
typeAndCharset answers differently for the same input. Both now state the
asymmetry and why it exists.

📝 Walkthrough
  • Add charset=utf-8 to text and XML documentation responses.
  • Preserve usable charset parameters and emit one charset only.
  • Normalize text and text/text to text/plain.
  • Reject control characters in media types and parameters.
  • Return application/octet-stream for unsafe media types.
  • Exclude application/json from automatic charset insertion.
  • Preserve binary content types.
  • Centralize Content-Type handling in common/ContentTypeHeaders.
  • Prevent duplicate HTTP status lines after response output starts.
  • Add unit, integration, and socket-level tests.
  • Risk: Clients that compare Content-Type values exactly may require updates.
  • Risk: Unsafe or malformed stored MIME values now fall back to application/octet-stream.

Walkthrough

The change normalizes Content-Type values, applies the normalized headers to database-backed web responses, prevents duplicate error status lines after output starts, and adds unit and HTTP coverage for charset and parameter handling.

Changes

Content-Type header handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
MIME header normalization
common/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/utils/ContentTypeHeaders.kt, common/src/test/java/com/itsaky/androidide/utils/ContentTypeHeadersTest.kt
The utility normalizes media types, parses escaped quoted parameters, distinguishes unusable charsets, preserves usable charsets, and emits one charset. Tests cover text, binary, JSON, XML, malformed, quoted, and parameterized values.
Web server response integration
app/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/localWebServer/WebServer.kt, app/src/test/java/com/itsaky/androidide/localWebServer/WebServerTest.kt
Database responses compute normalized Content-Type values before writing the status line. The error path checks whether output started. HTTP tests inspect real responses for text and binary content.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 66b23

Malformed documentation MIME metadata can still produce unsafe or incorrect Content-Type headers, including control characters or conflicting charset parameters, which may break responses or enable header injection. The parsing logic should be corrected before merge.

…ored

Review of this PR found that appending a charset to the stored string leaves the
header no better formed than the database happened to be -- and that on the row
this change was written for, it does nothing at all.

The database stores a bare "text" (one row, x.html) and a "text/text" (ten
licence files). Neither is a media type -- type "/" subtype is required -- and a
client that cannot parse the type discards the charset with it, so those rows
went on being sniffed exactly as before. Both normalize to text/plain now.

A stored value carrying a control character was written into the response
verbatim by println(). ContentTypes.value comes from a database that a debug
build swaps in from shared storage, so a planted value containing CR/LF would
split one response into two. Such a value is refused rather than repaired:
application/octet-stream renders nothing and injects nothing.

charsetFor and typeAndCharset disagreed for "text/html; charset=" -- one appended
nothing, the other substituted utf-8 -- so the two documentation transports
declared different encodings for one stored value, which is the divergence this
class exists to remove. Both take the same decision from the same call now,
because headerValue rebuilds the header from the parsed parts: one normalized
type, the other parameters as they were, exactly one charset. Rebuilding also
makes "; charset" and "; charset=" replaceable rather than contradictable, so
the malformed forms are no longer emitted at all.

With rebuilding, the first *usable* charset became the right one to read rather
than simply the first. While this appended, the first mattered, because that is
the one a first-wins recipient keeps; now that exactly one is emitted, serving
"charset=; charset=iso-8859-1" as utf-8 would garble a page that says plainly
what it is. My own test caught that.

Also from the review: handleClient's error path called sendError without
outputStarted, so a failure while writing the body -- a dropped connection being
the common one -- appended a second status line to a response that had already
claimed 200. It reports whether the response had started now, as the other call
sites in this file already do.

The tests move to Truth, which ARCHITECTURE.md requires and this file was not
using, and the comment volume comes down: the asymmetry was explained in four
separate KDocs and no longer exists to explain.

341 tests pass across :common and :app.

… the type

The sanitising check covered only the segment before the first ';', so
text/html; note=x<CR><LF>X-Injected: y passed it -- and the parameter loop then
wrote that CR/LF into the response header. Same response splitting the check was
added to stop, one segment further along, in the fix for it.

The whole stored value is checked now, and a refused value emits nothing but
application/octet-stream: its parameters are exactly where the control
characters would have been.

Test: 'a control character in a parameter is refused too', which fails against
the type-only check.

66-69: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Return a null charset for refused MIME values.

safeType returns OCTET_STREAM for control characters, but typeAndCharset still reads declaredCharset from the original value. For text/html; charset=utf-8\r\nX-Injected: y, charset is non-null, so this guard is skipped and headerValue re-emits the control characters into the response header.

Return OCTET_STREAM to null before parsing a value containing a control character, or carry an explicit refusal flag. Add a regression test with a control character inside a charset-bearing value.

Proposed fix
 internal fun typeAndCharset(mimeType: String): Pair<String, String?> {
+	if (mimeType.any { it.isISOControl() }) {
+		return OCTET_STREAM to null

 	val type = safeType(mimeType)

safeType refused a value carrying a control character, but the refusal
was read back out of its return value -- OCTET_STREAM with no charset --
and a control character inside the charset parameter defeated that:
declaredCharset re-parsed the original string, found a charset, so
"refused" was never true, and headerValue appended the CRLF-bearing
value verbatim. WebServer writes the result with println, so

  text/html; charset=x<CR><LF><CR><LF><script>alert(1)</script>

split the reply into two HTTP responses with an attacker-chosen body --
the one thing this class exists to prevent. The two existing "refused,
not repaired" tests put their control character in the type segment or a
note= parameter, so neither could see it.

Refusal is asked now, not inferred: one isUntrustworthy() consulted by
both typeAndCharset and headerValue. That also stops a legitimately
stored application/octet-stream; name=file.bin from being mistaken for a
refusal and losing its parameters.

The charset is the one value that skipped quoteIfNeeded, so a stored
charset="utf-8; x=y" -- whose quotes parameters() strips -- came back out
as a charset plus a smuggled second parameter. It goes through the same
quoting as every other parameter value now.

Four tests, three of which fail against the previous logic. 84 common
tests pass.

* ADFA-5241: Declare utf-8 on text responses from the documentation database

WebServer wrote the stored MIME type into Content-Type verbatim, and no
ContentTypes.value in documentation.db carries a charset, so every text
response left its encoding unstated. A client that does not assume UTF-8 falls
back to a legacy single-byte encoding: of 500 sampled text rows, 328 (66%)
contain non-ASCII bytes with no BOM, and those render as mojibake. Observed on
device while confirming ADFA-5239 -- a/android/R.id.html shows
"   ↳android.R.id" where the page says "↳android.R.id".

Two things made this invisible until now. Those pages were being served as
text/plain (ADFA-5239), so they rendered as source rather than as documents,
and Android's WebSettings.defaultTextEncodingName defaults to UTF-8, which
likely spares the in-app viewer -- nothing in the app sets that property, so it
relies on the default. Neither is a reason to leave the header unstated:
correctness by client default is per-client behaviour, not something this
server declares, and the same file already sends "; charset=utf-8" on its
hardcoded responses (lines 1176, 1225, 1247, 1310). Only database-sourced
content was missing it.

The predicate lives in common/ContentTypeHeaders rather than in WebServer,
because ADFA-5176's in-process transport already answers this question on its
own -- DocumentationRequestInterceptor.mimeAndCharset defaults text/* to utf-8
-- and the two transports disagreeing about what a response says is worse than
either answer. That branch should adopt this on its rebase.

What gets a charset, and why not more: every text subtype, including the
database's malformed bare "text" (which 726 TooltipButtons reach via x.html)
and "text/text"; XML-based types, since SVG usually omits its own declaration
and a transport charset takes precedence anyway. Not application/json -- RFC
8259 defines no charset parameter for it and fixes the encoding as UTF-8, so
declaring one says nothing; there is a test asserting that, so nobody "fixes"
it later. An already-declared charset is never doubled.

Deliberately not fixed in the database. Putting the parameter in
ContentTypes.value would work for both readers, but that column doubles as a
lookup key matched exactly by ExtensionToContentTypeResolver (the plugin
installer would skip every HTML asset), by docdb-studio's anchor extraction,
and by three OfflineDocumentationTools scripts. Two of those fail silently.
The analysis is on ADFA-5241.

Tests: 7 for the helper -- text, the malformed types, XML, the binary set, the
JSON exclusion, no doubling, and casing/parameter tolerance -- plus one that
asserts the header a real client receives, since the helper being right does
not prove the response is.

* ADFA-5241: Match the media type and the charset parameter at their boundaries

Both from CodeRabbit on PR #1725.

`type.startsWith("text")` classified `textual/example` as a text response. The
comment beside it already said the intent was "every text subtype, plus the
bare text oddity" -- the code just did not say that. Now `type == "text" ||
type.startsWith("text/")`.

`mimeType.contains("charset=")` found the substring inside *another*
parameter's value, so `text/html; note="charset=utf-8"` looked like it already
declared an encoding and got none added. Parameters are now split on `;` and
matched by name, which also keeps `text/html;boundary=x` working.

Neither case exists in documentation.db today -- no ContentTypes.value carries
a parameter at all -- so this is about the helper being honest rather than a
live defect. Both have regression tests.

Also dropped the non-ASCII from the KDoc, which quoted the mojibake it was
describing. The ASCII policy exempts a glyph doing real visual work, and I had
read the example as qualifying; naming the code point instead reads the same,
which means it does not qualify. The file is now pure ASCII.

* ADFA-5176: Serve documentation to the app's WebViews in-process

One pipeline for reading documentation.db, in common, with two transports over
it. DocumentationContentSource owns row lookup, chunked-row reassembly, the
dictionary-aware Brotli decode and the sdcard debug-database swap, under a
read/write lock so readers do not have the handle closed under them. It also
renders the Pebble template rows, so both transports serve finished pages and
neither carries the template engine.

DocumentationRequestInterceptor answers the app's own WebViews through
WebViewClient.shouldInterceptRequest, so a page's assets cost a database read
instead of a TCP connection each. It matches the same
http://localhost:6174/... URL space, so strings.xml, ToolTipManager's link
builder and the DocumentationExtension contract need no changes, and anything
it declines -- a /pr/ endpoint, an unknown path, a failed read -- falls through
to WebServer. The CodeOnTheGo.nointercept sentinel forces everything back onto
the socket.

WebServer keeps serving port 6174 for WebViews that are not wired to the
interceptor and for the /pr/ developer endpoints, but it now reads through the
shared source: no database handle, no Pebble engine, no gson, no decode path of
its own. What is left is HTTP.

This is a port rather than the original branch. ADFA-5172 was an investigation
whose instrumentation is abandoned, and ADFA-5175's worker pool is declined, so
the accept loop here is stage's single-threaded one and the config fields those
tickets added are gone. The two duplicated rules the original carried are now
shared instead:

  * The dictionary is gated on the version the database declares
    (DatabaseVersionResolver.resolveMajorVersion), as WebServer already does,
    rather than on whether a CompressionDictionary table happens to exist.
  * The charset comes from ContentTypeHeaders (ADFA-5241), so a row does not
    describe itself differently depending on which transport served it. The
    interceptor previously said utf-8 for text/ only, which left an SVG served
    in-process declaring no encoding while the same row over the socket
    declared one.

356 tests across app and common pass, including 14 for the content source and 9
for the interceptor. The two WebServer tests that assert the dictionary loads
once per database now declare a version, without which the gate would leave
them passing while testing nothing.

* ADFA-5241: Parse Content-Type parameters properly, and widen what counts as text

From the code review on PR #1725. Four correctness findings, all real.

Splitting on ';' still finds "charset=" inside a quoted value that contains a
semicolon -- text/html; note="x; charset=utf-8" -- so the helper concluded a
charset was already declared and sent none at all: the exact failure its own
KDoc claimed the split prevented. And a parameter with no value (; charset) or
an empty one (; charset=) was read as a declaration, with the same result.
Parameters are now parsed with quote awareness, and only a charset parameter
with a non-empty value counts as declared.

The textual application/* list omitted application/javascript, which does have
rows and is what ExtensionToContentTypeResolver maps ".mjs" to, so real files
served undeclared -- the bug this class exists to prevent. Added it along with
ecmascript and x-sh, and said in the comment that the list is a list precisely
because these types share no marker, so anything textual arriving later has to
be added rather than assumed covered.

The header value is now built before the status line goes out. The writer
autoflushes, so a throw after the first println made sendError append a second
status line to a response that already claimed 200, which a client parses as a
malformed header rather than as an error. dbMimeType is a platform type from
Cursor.getString, so a NULL ContentTypes.value is a real way to reach that
throw.

typeAndCharset is exposed because ADFA-5176's interceptor needs the type and
the charset apart for WebResourceResponse and was re-implementing the parse to
get them -- with the naive substring match this file warns against. The class
was created so both transports answer alike; keeping the parse private meant
they agreed on the default and disagreed on reading what was already there.

The "two thirds" statistic is replaced with a full census of the database it
was measured on: 17,903 of 29,139 text rows, 61.4%. The review measured 22.5%
against the bundled asset, which is an older export -- both numbers are right
for their own database, so the KDoc now names which one and says the rate is
per-generation.

Four regression tests for the parsing cases, one for the textual types, one for
typeAndCharset. The header assertion now prints the whole response when no
Content-Type is found instead of throwing NoSuchElementException, and no
longer declares a compression-dictionary version it does not use.

* ADFA-5176: Address the code review on the in-process transport

Ten findings from the review on PR #1726. The three that could break something
in production:

* switchToDatabase bumped generation and closed the old handle but never
  cleared templateCache, so Pebble templates compiled from a closed database
  kept rendering. The old WebServer.switchToDatabase cleared it and the field
  comment still promised it. An edited template row in a swapped-in database
  would have rendered the previous database's markup for the rest of the
  session.

* The brotli warm-up did not move with the decode. WebServer.decompressBrotli
  wrapped Brotli4jLoader.ensureAvailability() so a missing native library cost
  one failed read instead of the process; when the decode moved into
  DocumentationContentSource the guard stayed behind, and an
  UnsatisfiedLinkError is an Error, so it escapes every catch between there and
  the accept loop. Restored on the decode path, where the decode now is.

* The interceptor's `shared` initializer called ensureAvailability() eagerly.
  That runs during Activity and Fragment construction, so a missing library was
  a hard crash on opening Help rather than a failed page. Removed: the source
  warms lazily and converts the Error, which covers both transports.

mimeAndCharset now delegates to ContentTypeHeaders.typeAndCharset instead of
re-parsing with substringAfter("charset="). The duplicate parse disagreed with
the socket transport on quoted parameters and on case -- for `; Charset=UTF-8`
it missed the parameter and the response went out with no encoding at all,
which is the ADFA-5241 failure this class's KDoc claims to prevent. sendContent
also builds its header before the status line, so a throw cannot append a
second status line to a response that already claimed 200.

Six unused imports left in WebServer.kt -- four of them the ADFA-5175 worker
pool's -- would have failed spotlessCheck in CI under the file-level ratchet.

HelpActivity loaded every page twice: once in onCreate and again through
updateUIFromIntent. This PR's own device log proves it -- "2 requests, 231036
bytes" for one 115,518-byte page -- so every open paid two full reads, and the
142 ms figure quoted against the socket path's 99 ms was timing two loads
against one. The instrumentation also used wall-clock time (an NTP correction
mid-load reports nonsense) and presented process-cumulative counters as the
page's own; it now uses elapsedRealtime and says "totals so far".

The three ADFA-5220 version-gate tests deleted when WebServerTest was replaced
are restored in DocumentationContentSourceTest, where dictionaryBytes now
lives: below 2, no version table, and above 2, with the dictionary cursors
stubbed as available in every case so they test the gate rather than a missing
table.

failedDebugSwapTimestamp is @volatile: the check reads it outside the write
lock, so without it a second thread misses the first's failure marker and
re-attempts openDatabase on a broken file while holding the lock -- and a
64-bit read is not atomic on armeabi-v7a.

Three WebSettings property reads with no assignment were deleted rather than
turned into `= true`. They are no-ops today; assigning them would silently
enable three security-relevant settings, universal file access among them, as a
side effect of a reindentation. If the fragment's file:///android_asset
handling needs file access, that is its own change with its own reasoning.

Also: comments describing a worker pool, awaitTermination and a templateCache
this class no longer has, and ARCHITECTURE.md's raw-SQLite exception, which
still named WebServer as the holder of the database handle.

363 tests across app and common pass; spotlessCheck is clean.

* ADFA-5176: Close the last three review findings on the two transports

The three that needed a decision rather than a patch.

**Cache staleness was judged before the swap it depends on.** serveRequest
called discardCachesIfDatabaseChanged() first, but the source performs the
debug-database swap inside lookup()/withDatabase(). On the request that swaps,
the generation read was the pre-swap one, so bookshelfTemplateId still pointed
at the previous database's template row -- rendering the old bookshelf, or 500ing
when that id does not exist in the new database. The source now exposes
refreshDatabase(), which applies a pending swap without reading, and the discard
runs after it. Idempotent and throttled by the debug check interval, so the cost
is one extra timestamp comparison.

**Priming the dictionary could fail an unrelated lookup.** readContent primes it
before reading the row, and dictionaryBytes deliberately lets unexpected
failures propagate so a transient error is not cached as "no dictionary". On the
lookup path that meant a locked database during one dictionary query failed
*every* request, including rows with compression = 'none' that need no
dictionary at all. The priming call is now best-effort: it logs, leaves the
staleness flag set so the next read retries, and a brotli row that genuinely
cannot resolve its dictionary still fails loudly from inside decompressBrotli.

**The two transports disagreed about what a path is.** The interceptor matches
WebResourceRequest.url.path, which is percent-decoded; WebServer matched the raw
target. For any path the WebView encodes -- a space, a literal % -- the
interceptor found the row and the server 404ed it, so setting the nointercept
sentinel changed *which pages work*, defeating its purpose of comparing the two
transports on equal terms. WebServer now decodes, with two details worth
keeping: "+" is protected first, because URLDecoder alone turns it into a space
and would break a stored path containing a literal plus (c++.html is a real
shape here), and a malformed escape logs and falls back to the verbatim path
rather than failing the request, so it 404s naturally.

Three tests on the decoding -- encoded space, literal plus, malformed escape --
assert the path the server actually queries with, not just that a request
succeeds. 366 tests across app and common pass; spotlessCheck is clean.

* ADFA-5241: Harden the Content-Type parameter parse against two malformed inputs

Both from the re-review on #1725.

An escaped quote no longer ends a quoted parameter value. RFC 9110's quoted-pair
means \" does not close the string, but the parser toggled on every quote, so
text/html; note="a\"; charset=iso-8859-1 parsed as two parameters and the
charset inside note read as a declaration -- the same false match this class
exists to prevent.

An empty charset parameter is now left alone rather than contradicted.
headerValue used to append a second charset, producing
text/html; charset=; charset=utf-8. Recipients keep an empty valued parameter
and ignore a repeated name, so that append claims a fix it does not make. A
parameter with no = at all is still appended to, because that one really is
dropped during parsing, so the appended charset takes effect. typeAndCharset
keeps substituting the default either way -- it hands the charset back as its
own value, where nothing can conflict with it.

Both tests were confirmed to fail against the previous parser.

* ADFA-5176: Stop DocumentationContent pretending to have value semantics

It was a data class whose equals/hashCode were overridden back to identity,
because generated equality over a ByteArray compares identity anyway and
comparing multi-megabyte content is not what any caller wants. What that left
behind was copy(), which returned an object unequal to its source.

Nothing here needs value semantics, so the class no longer offers them.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* ADFA-5241: Say on charsetFor what it does with an unusable charset

Its KDoc said null meant the type already carried a charset, without saying that
an empty one counts -- which is the interesting case, and the reason
typeAndCharset answers differently for the same input. Both now state the
asymmetry and why it exists.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* ADFA-5241: Build the Content-Type instead of appending to what was stored

Review of this PR found that appending a charset to the stored string leaves the
header no better formed than the database happened to be -- and that on the row
this change was written for, it does nothing at all.

The database stores a bare "text" (one row, x.html) and a "text/text" (ten
licence files). Neither is a media type -- type "/" subtype is required -- and a
client that cannot parse the type discards the charset with it, so those rows
went on being sniffed exactly as before. Both normalize to text/plain now.

A stored value carrying a control character was written into the response
verbatim by println(). ContentTypes.value comes from a database that a debug
build swaps in from shared storage, so a planted value containing CR/LF would
split one response into two. Such a value is refused rather than repaired:
application/octet-stream renders nothing and injects nothing.

charsetFor and typeAndCharset disagreed for "text/html; charset=" -- one appended
nothing, the other substituted utf-8 -- so the two documentation transports
declared different encodings for one stored value, which is the divergence this
class exists to remove. Both take the same decision from the same call now,
because headerValue rebuilds the header from the parsed parts: one normalized
type, the other parameters as they were, exactly one charset. Rebuilding also
makes "; charset" and "; charset=" replaceable rather than contradictable, so
the malformed forms are no longer emitted at all.

With rebuilding, the first *usable* charset became the right one to read rather
than simply the first. While this appended, the first mattered, because that is
the one a first-wins recipient keeps; now that exactly one is emitted, serving
"charset=; charset=iso-8859-1" as utf-8 would garble a page that says plainly
what it is. My own test caught that.

Also from the review: handleClient's error path called sendError without
outputStarted, so a failure while writing the body -- a dropped connection being
the common one -- appended a second status line to a response that had already
claimed 200. It reports whether the response had started now, as the other call
sites in this file already do.

The tests move to Truth, which ARCHITECTURE.md requires and this file was not
using, and the comment volume comes down: the asymmetry was explained in four
separate KDocs and no longer exists to explain.

341 tests pass across :common and :app.

* ADFA-5241: Refuse a control character anywhere in the value, not just the type

The sanitising check covered only the segment before the first ';', so
text/html; note=x<CR><LF>X-Injected: y passed it -- and the parameter loop then
wrote that CR/LF into the response header. Same response splitting the check was
added to stop, one segment further along, in the fix for it.

The whole stored value is checked now, and a refused value emits nothing but
application/octet-stream: its parameters are exactly where the control
characters would have been.

Test: 'a control character in a parameter is refused too', which fails against
the type-only check.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* ADFA-5176: Do not build the shared interceptor during Activity construction

HelpActivity and IDETooltipWebViewFragment forced
DocumentationRequestInterceptor.shared from a property initializer, so
the whole lazy ran during construction, before onCreate, on the main
thread. Two consequences.

Environment.DOC_DB is a plain static File with no initializer, assigned
only by Environment.init(). DeviceProtectedApplicationLoader wraps that
call in runCatching and the credential-protected loader returns before
it when storage is not ready, so null is a state the app can really be
in -- and the non-null parameter turned it into an NPE that killed the
activity before it existed. shared is nullable now and declines instead,
which puts the request back on the local web server: the same thing a
null from intercept() already means everywhere else.

The lazy also stats external storage for the nointercept sentinel. On
the main thread that is a disk read under a StrictMode policy built with
detectAll(), and on a contended FUSE mount it stalls the frame that
opens the screen. Touched from shouldInterceptRequest instead, on a
WebView thread, the way FAQActivity already did it.

Not covered here: intercept() still has no throw guard, so an Error
(an OOM decoding a large row) escapes onto a Chromium thread rather
than falling through to the server the way the class documents. That is
a separate finding from the same review.

Found in review of PR #1726.

* ADFA-5176: Close the review findings on cache clearing and null handling

- switchToDatabase clears templateCache with the swap, restoring what
  stage's WebServer.switchToDatabase did; the comments saying templates
  are dropped on swap are true again.
- The cs0 clear-cache sentinel also clears the shared interceptor's
  source, not just the server's own. The interceptor's shared property
  is backed by an explicit Lazy so an interceptor that was never built
  is not created just to empty its cache.
- realHandleBsEndpoint answers an empty bookshelf join with a 500:
  group_concat over an empty subquery yields one row whose value is
  NULL, which isCursorOneRow passes and the null then fell out of
  withDatabase as a zero-byte closed connection.
- HelpActivity.onPageFinished no longer force-initializes the shared
  interceptor on the main thread: the lazy is explicit, and the load
  summary reads it only when shouldInterceptRequest already did.

Regression tests: a swap re-renders templates from the new database
(common), and /pr/bs over an empty join sends HTTP 500 (app).

* ADFA-5176: Fix two comments the last refactors left behind

- WebServer.serveRequest's caller talked about a read lock that no
  longer exists there; the swap now happens inside the content source.
- The note explaining sendRawGetRequestAndAwaitClose sat above an
  unrelated test; move it to the helper it documents.

* ADFA-5241: Close the response-splitting hole the charset parameter left open

safeType refused a value carrying a control character, but the refusal
was read back out of its return value -- OCTET_STREAM with no charset --
and a control character inside the charset parameter defeated that:
declaredCharset re-parsed the original string, found a charset, so
"refused" was never true, and headerValue appended the CRLF-bearing
value verbatim. WebServer writes the result with println, so

  text/html; charset=x<CR><LF><CR><LF><script>alert(1)</script>

split the reply into two HTTP responses with an attacker-chosen body --
the one thing this class exists to prevent. The two existing "refused,
not repaired" tests put their control character in the type segment or a
note= parameter, so neither could see it.

Refusal is asked now, not inferred: one isUntrustworthy() consulted by
both typeAndCharset and headerValue. That also stops a legitimately
stored application/octet-stream; name=file.bin from being mistaken for a
refusal and losing its parameters.

The charset is the one value that skipped quoteIfNeeded, so a stored
charset="utf-8; x=y" -- whose quotes parameters() strips -- came back out
as a charset plus a smuggled second parameter. It goes through the same
quoting as every other parameter value now.

Four tests, three of which fail against the previous logic. 84 common
tests pass.

Found in review of PR #1725.

* ADFA-5176: Retry a missing DOC_DB instead of caching the refusal forever

Making `shared` nullable last round fixed the NPE and introduced a
quieter bug: `lazy` memoizes whatever the initializer returned,
including null. Environment.init() runs inside the loader coroutine --
DeviceProtectedApplicationLoader wraps it in runCatching, and the
credential-protected loader returns early when storage is not ready --
so a WebView that asks during direct boot saw DOC_DB unset, and that
answer was then cached for the life of the process. In-process
documentation stayed off afterwards, and since WebServer is started only
by MainActivity and stopped in its onDestroy, opening Help from the
editor later had nothing to fall back to either.

Only a successful construction is cached now; a null is retried on the
next request. clearSharedTemplateCache reads the field directly, so
asking whether the interceptor exists still cannot create it.

intercept() also catches Throwable. The class documents that anything it
returns null for falls through to the web server, and that only held for
values: decoding the largest bundled row (8.8 MB over nine chunks) can
raise OutOfMemoryError, a pathological template a StackOverflowError,
and lookup()'s catch (e: Exception) sees neither. This runs on a Chromium
thread, where an escaping Error takes the process down -- the socket
transport confined the same failure to one 500. The file's own
ensureBrotliAvailable KDoc describes exactly this hazard for the other
transport.

102 common tests pass, :app compiles.

Found in review of PR #1726.

* ADFA-5176: Fix doc attributions and two debug logs from bot review

docs/documentation-database.md still credited WebServer with the debug
database swap, the lazy dictionary load, and opening the database; that
logic now lives in DocumentationContentSource, and the call-site list has
five entries, not three. Reworded the three statements to match the code.

WebServer.kt bookshelf debug logs: SLF4J {} placeholders instead of
string interpolation, and decode the JSON blob explicitly as UTF-8
rather than the platform default charset.

* ADFA-5176: Align the empty-bookshelf test with the ADFA-5179 contract

The merged ADFA-5179 rewrite made an empty bookshelf join a deliberate
200 with an empty shelf, so WebServerTest's old assertion of a 500 (from
group_concat returning a NULL blob) is now wrong - and its stale stubs
no longer even reach that path. The sibling BookshelfPayloadTest and
BookshelfQueryTest pin readBookshelf/bookshelfJson directly but nothing
covered the HTTP layer, where the blank-context render guard sits
outside realHandleBsEndpoint's try/catch; so the test is rewritten, not
deleted: it now drives /pr/bs over the socket with an empty join and a
Pebble template that renders the shelf size, asserting HTTP/1.1 200 and
that the empty-shelf payload reached the render.

Also correct docs/documentation-database.md: the dictionary-first
decode fallback and the multi-row chunk reassembly moved from WebServer
into DocumentationContentSource.

* ADFA-5176: Match documentation paths raw first, decoded on a miss

Content.path rows in the shipped database are stored percent-encoded
(pages reference their siblings with encoded targets), so decoding the
request target before the lookup missed every such row. The interceptor
read Uri.path (decoded) and this PR had aligned the server to it,
leaving neither transport able to serve those rows.

The lookup order now lives in DocumentationContentSource, shared by
both transports: the raw target is queried verbatim first, and the
percent-decoded form (with the existing '+' protection) is the fallback
on a miss, so a database ingested with decoded paths keeps working. The
interceptor passes Uri.encodedPath; the server passes the raw target
and its corrupt-database message now quotes the path form that was
actually queried.

* ADFA-5176: Keep the shared documentation source honest across its lifecycle

Four review findings on the in-process transport's state handling:

- The installers rewrite Environment.DOC_DB in place, so the shared
  interceptor's cached handle outlived the bytes it was opened on. The
  refresh path now also stats the installed file and reopens through
  the same swap machinery (templates, dictionary and generation
  invalidate identically), rate-limited by the one existing gate.
- close() only nulled the handle and openIfNeeded() silently reopened
  it. A closed flag makes close() terminal, and withDatabase() now
  surfaces could-not-open deliberately instead of via checkNotNull.
- HelpActivity and IDETooltipWebviewFragment memoized the interceptor
  with `by lazy`, which caches the null that means DOC_DB is not set
  YET and pinned in-process serving off. Both now cache only a
  non-null; HelpActivity's main-thread log guard reads the companion's
  new isSharedInitialized instead of forcing construction.
- Dead htmlContent local removed; timestampOf() narrowed to private and
  its KDoc link fixed.

* ADFA-5176: Keep refreshDatabase() from reopening a closed source

refreshDatabase() ignored openIfNeeded()'s verdict, so after close() a
pending debug or installed-file swap still reached switchToDatabase()
and reopened a handle nothing would ever close. Return early when the
source cannot open, and check closed in switchToDatabase() as well:
every caller holds the write lock, as does close(), so that check makes
close() terminal even against a swap racing it. Regression tests cover
both swap branches and fail without the fix.

Also pass the exception itself, not e.message, to the decode-failure
warning in decodeRequestPath(), so the stack trace is retained.

* 📝 Add docstrings to `task/ADFA-5176-in-process-docs`

Docstrings generation was requested by @davidschachterADFA.

The following files were modified:

* `app/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/activities/editor/FAQActivity.kt`
* `app/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/fragments/IDETooltipWebViewFragment.kt`
* `app/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/localWebServer/WebServer.kt`
* `common/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/activities/editor/HelpActivity.kt`
* `common/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/documentation/DocumentationContentSource.kt`
* `common/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/documentation/DocumentationRequestInterceptor.kt`

These files were ignored:
* `app/src/test/java/com/itsaky/androidide/localWebServer/BrotliDictionaryDecodeTest.kt`
* `app/src/test/java/com/itsaky/androidide/localWebServer/WebServerTest.kt`
* `common/src/test/java/com/itsaky/androidide/documentation/DocumentationContentSourceTest.kt`
* `common/src/test/java/com/itsaky/androidide/documentation/DocumentationRequestInterceptorTest.kt`

These file types are not supported:
* `ARCHITECTURE.md`
* `docs/documentation-database.md`

* Fix formatting of generated docstrings

The generated KDoc blocks in FAQActivity and
DocumentationRequestInterceptor misaligned their continuation lines
against the /** opener, which failed spotlessKotlinCheck. Realign them
and restore the indentation of the declarations the generator shifted
(shouldInterceptRequest, toDirectByteBuffer, compileTemplate).

The duplicate KDoc the generator stacked above toDirectByteBuffer is
merged into the existing one: its @param/@return tags are kept, the
summary line that repeated the existing first line is dropped.

Also, per review: the two database-swap failure logs now pass the
exception itself instead of e.message, so SLF4J keeps the stack trace.

* style: fix Spotless violations in IDETooltipWebViewFragment, no functional change

ktlint 1.8.0 reformat (object-expression wrapping, trailing commas, spacing), plus a blank line between the ADFA-5176 EOL comment and the following KDoc -- standard:no-consecutive-comments is not auto-correctable, so spotlessApply throws on this file instead of formatting it.
Validated with standalone ktlint 1.8.0 (the version Spotless 8.8.0 bundles) plus the leading-spaces-to-tabs, trailing-whitespace and final-newline steps: only the suppressed standard:filename finding remains.
