ADFA-6510

Instant Wipe: the self-destruct half of Instant Hide (ADFA-40), renamed. When armed, a single-finger circular sweep on any app surface irreversibly destroys the user's work and leaves the device showing the "Code Breaker" cryptogram game. Instant, no dialog, no undo.

Stacked on ADFA-40 (#2133). Based on feature/ADFA-40-instant-hide (it builds on that PR's :security module, not yet merged). Base will be retargeted to stage once #2133 merges. Do not merge before then.

What it does

• Armed via a separate Settings toggle (off by default) behind a blocking destructive warning; arming opens a safe gesture-practice overlay that never wipes.
• Trigger: a single-finger circle (>=330 deg, spanning >=70% of the screen width) on any surface -- IDE/editor, the disguise, and the terminal. The Settings and practice screens are excluded (InstantHide.GesturesExempt) so arming/practicing can't wipe.
• Wipe: cancel the build, stop Termux, close the project + the Recents DB, shred the source and DB files (fast-delete the bulk regenerable caches), reset bookkeeping, blank prefs, write .pip/.pip2 markers, show the disguise.
• Neutralization: a wiped install is permanently the disguise. Clearing app data to strip the markers (the tamper signature) neutralizes -- shows the disguise -- but does not re-wipe (see Decisions).

Review-by-commit

Core: PR1 engine + dry-run override - PR2 circle detector - PR3 arm toggle + practice overlay - PR4(1/2) orchestration - PR4(2/2) gesture wiring - PR5 tamper tripwire.
Review-driven fixes (surfaced by on-device testing): terminal SecurityController mount - tamper neutralize-only - splash-screen leak fix - Instant Hide gesture rehearsal.

Deliberate decisions / deviations

• No backup agent -- the app already sets allowBackup="false" (stronger than the mockup's armed-state agent, which would require re-enabling backup).
• Shred source, fast-delete bulk caches -- a single-pass overwrite is not a guaranteed erase on flash (device at-rest encryption is the real protection), and shredding GBs would defeat "instant". Strings say "delete", not "securely erase".
• Tamper neutralizes, does not re-wipe -- the signature (stealth alias + blank prefs + no marker) can't distinguish a prior Instant Wipe from a plain Instant Hide whose data was cleared, so re-wiping would risk destroying work never meant for it. Staying the disguise still defeats the tamper.
• Recents Room DB closed before shredding its files (real wipe only; skipped in dry-run) -- afterwards the IDE never runs again, so the closed cached instance is never touched.

ADFA-40 gaps closed here (folded in, flagged for ADFA-40 reviewers)

• Terminal coverage -- the Termux terminal sits outside EdgeToEdgeIDEActivity, so Instant Hide's triggers and FLAG_SECURE never reached it (and the terminal was screenshotable when armed). Superseded by ADFA-40: Instant Hide (disguise the IDE as a cryptogram game) #2133's review round, which mounts the controller on every activity; the merge a75e2e0 removed this branch's TerminalActivity mount so the triggers do not run twice.
• Splash leak -- launching the hidden app flashed the real Code On The Go logo (the OS paints the splash from the activity theme before app code runs; all aliases targeted SplashActivity). A StealthSplashActivity with a logo-free splash now backs the stealth aliases.
• Hide rehearsal -- Instant Hide had no gesture practice; arming it now opens a two-step rehearsal (three-finger tap, then slow double three-finger tap).

After #2133's review round (2026-10-29)

• a75e2e0 merges ADFA-40: Instant Hide (disguise the IDE as a cryptogram game) #2133's fixes up. Besides the textual conflicts:

  • the practice screens are InstantHide.GesturesExempt, since they no longer stay trigger-free by being plain activities;
  • StealthSplashActivity starts the disguise with InstantHide.disguiseIntent, so tapping the stealth icon keeps the puzzle;
  • the wipe circle detector joins the reworked touch path;
  • LauncherAliasReconcileTest names the renamed default alias.

• 87dfd8f: a wiped or tampered install is now the disguise on every entry point, not only the launcher. The review asked for every exported activity, and after a wipe or a data clear the hidden flag can be clear. A wipe also closes the floating windows and masks the notifications, as a hide does. Its new test fails with the marker check reverted.

• 732c2fc: the wipe also deletes the relocated build output (noBackupFilesDir/gradle-build, moved there by ADFA-4930) and Quick Build's quickbuild-scratch. Both hold the compiled app, and the build output's folder names carry the project names. Before, they survived a wipe.

• ba954e5: the wipe never follows a symbolic link. File.deleteRecursively followed a link to a folder, and the shredder overwrote a linked file, so a link in a project or in build output could destroy files outside the wipe. Each new test fails with its fix reverted: the linked file is deleted, or emptied through the link.

On a device (Pixel 6 Pro, 2026-10-30): a dry-run wipe from the IDE, the disguise and the terminal listed both new folders among its 8 targets. The symbolic-link handling is not checked on a device: a dry run deletes nothing, and no real wipe has run.

After CodeRabbit's review (2026-10-30)

• ee9591d, e6b0a8f, bed36d6 merge ADFA-40: Instant Hide (disguise the IDE as a cryptogram game) #2133's later fixes up. b6946a0 merges ADFA-40: Instant Hide (disguise the IDE as a cryptogram game) #2133 again after another session rebased it onto stage; ADFA-6510: Instant Wipe (self-destruct; circular-sweep wipes the workspace, neutralizes to the disguise) #2137's own diff is unchanged.
• cad0788: the wipe and the stealth splash start the disguise through InstantHide.showDisguise, which also removes the app's other tasks. After a wipe, Recents shows only the disguise's card, and the splash no longer leaves an empty task of its own beside it.
• b0ce82a: a real wipe logs only counts, so logcat does not keep the layout of the user's projects. A dry run still logs each target's path.
• 5099486: the launcher repair compares every alias with the state a finished swap leaves, so it repairs a swap that stopped with no icon or with both. It read only the default alias before. The swap order (default off first) is unchanged. Its new tests fail on the old check, and the repairs were checked on a Pixel 6 Pro.
• bf132b0: StealthSplashActivity is no longer exported. Any installed app could start it, which made the stealth icon the only one. With both features off, that is the tamper fingerprint, so the IDE stayed the disguise for good. Checked on a Pixel 6 Pro before and after.

Before GA (required)

Remove the /sdcard/Download/CodeOnTheGo.nowipe dry-run override -- it's dev/QA scaffolding (makes the wipe enumerate + log but delete nothing); a shipped .nowipe is a silent kill-switch defeat.

Verification

• Unit: circle geometry (8 cases), WipeManager enumeration + dry-run boundary, SecureShredder (incl. cache-dir skip), NeutralizationMarker.
• On device (SM-G781U): arm toggle + destructive dialog + wipe practice overlay render; font scale 1.0/2.0 on the Security screen; terminal FLAG_SECURE (0-byte capture when armed) + a 60s-inactivity hide fired from the terminal; a tamper-triggered dry-run deleted nothing (a canary file survived); the live gesture -> wipe dry-run was confirmed by a human tester -- performed as expected.
• Known test gaps: AppWipeService teardown and the practice overlays/activities aren't unit-tested; the no-logo splash and the hide-rehearsal launch are confirmed visually (adb can't capture the ~200ms splash or inject multi-finger gestures).

📝 Summary

• Adds an optional, off-by-default Instant Wipe feature. A single-finger circular sweep triggers the wipe when Instant Wipe is armed.
• Adds a confirmation dialog and a practice screen. The practice screen detects the gesture but cannot trigger a wipe.
• Adds workspace cleanup, teardown, preference reset, and neutralization markers. The app redirects to the Code Breaker disguise after a wipe or detected tampering.
• Adds stealth launcher aliases and a blank splash screen. Adds launcher-alias reconciliation and gesture rehearsal for Instant Hide.
• Adds unit tests for circle detection, wipe handling, secure shredding, neutralization markers, and alias reconciliation. The author also reports device checks, but device testing was not complete. Some teardown and practice UI components lack unit tests.
• Risks: A real wipe is destructive and cannot be reliably reversed. Secure overwrite is best-effort and does not guarantee physical erasure on flash storage. The author says the debug-only /sdcard/Download/CodeOnTheGo.nowipe dry-run override must be removed before GA.
• Merge dependency: This change depends on the :security module from PR #2133 and should not merge before that PR.

The change adds Instant Wipe preferences, gesture detection, practice screens, and app-owned wipe execution. It adds marker-based neutralization checks and updates activity redirection and launcher alias handling for wiped or tampered installs.

Explanation

The description is specific and closely tied to the changeset. It explains the Instant Wipe feature (a circular-sweep gesture that wipes the workspace and shows the disguise), its arming and practice flow, the wipe steps, the neutralization and tamper behavior, and the StealthSplashActivity fix. It also lists the deliberate design decisions, the commit-by-commit fixes, the device and unit test verification, and the known test gaps. These all match the files in the raw summary, including the security module, the launcher aliases, WipeManager, SecureShredder, and the gesture detectors.

119-125: Trivial · Stability & Availability · Quick win

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Add a guard against overly broad wipe targets.

WipeManager recursively deletes every secureTargets and fastDeleteTargets entry without validating it. The paths come from static Environment fields. If one resolves to a filesystem root, a short path, or a parent of the marker files, the wipe deletes far more than intended. A parent of the markers also deletes the markers written at Lines 110-117, which removes the durable wipe signal.

Skip any target that has no parent directory or that contains a marker file.

🛡️ Proposed guard

-		var shredded = 0
-		plan.secureTargets.forEach { shredded += SecureShredder.shredTree(it, skipDirNames = plan.secureTargetSkipDirs) }
-
-		var deleted = 0
-		plan.fastDeleteTargets.forEach { target ->
-			if (SecureShredder.deleteTree(target)) deleted++
-		}
+		var shredded = 0
+		plan.secureTargets
+			.filterNot { it.isUnsafeTarget(plan.markerFiles) }
+			.forEach { shredded += SecureShredder.shredTree(it, skipDirNames = plan.secureTargetSkipDirs) }
+
+		var deleted = 0
+		plan.fastDeleteTargets
+			.filterNot { it.isUnsafeTarget(plan.markerFiles) }
+			.forEach { target -> if (SecureShredder.deleteTree(target)) deleted++ }

Add this helper inside WipeManager:

/** A root, an unresolvable path, or a parent of a marker must never be deleted recursively. */
private fun File.isUnsafeTarget(markers: List<File>): Boolean {
	val self = runCatching { canonicalFile }.getOrNull() ?: return true
	if (self.parentFile == null) return true
	return markers.any { runCatching { it.canonicalFile.startsWith(self) }.getOrDefault(true) }
}

Based on learnings: "In recursive directory-deletion utilities ... always guard against being invoked on the filesystem root or other overly broad paths."

@coderabbitai On the review-body suggestion to guard against overly broad wipe targets (WipeManager.kt lines 119-125): not adding it, because no target can be broad today. Every target is a fixed app folder. The projects folder is always <shared storage>/CodeOnTheGoProjects (Environment.java:157), and Environment.setProjectDir, the only setter, has no callers. AppWipeService skips unset folders (listOfNotNull). If the projects folder ever becomes configurable, the guard belongs in that change.

@davidschachterADFA Agreed. I verified that Environment.init sets the projects folder to <shared storage>/CodeOnTheGoProjects. I found no Java or Kotlin callers of Environment.setProjectDir. AppWipeService.buildPlan also excludes unset Environment folders through listOfNotNull.

I withdraw the broad-target guard suggestion for this PR. If a future change makes wipe targets configurable, target validation belongs in that change.
