makiolaj ec50e0998c sync(chunk 2c): Keystore credentials, AccountManager, stub sync adapter
The platform half of chunk 2; the account-add UI is 2d, since it is a design
task and the piece that needs an on-device review.

A stub ContentProvider turned out to be required and was not in the plan: a
sync adapter registers against a content authority, and we publish no provider
since :provider was deleted. Without one there is nothing for contentAuthority
to name, nothing for requestSync to address, and hasAuthorityAccess() makes
every ContentResolver sync call a silent no-op at targetSdk 34+.

- CredentialStore: Keystore AES/GCM, blob in its own DataStore file.
  security-crypto is formally deprecated and terminal. Decryption failure means
  re-authenticate, never a crash — including ProviderException, which is a
  RuntimeException and escapes the obvious catches.
- CalDavAccounts + SyncAuthenticator: no password reaches AccountManager, which
  stores them as plain TEXT. The authenticator never returns null — a null is
  the protocol for "answering asynchronously", and nothing here does, so
  Settings would wait forever. addAccount refuses with a readable message until
  2d ships the screen, rather than opening the home screen and hanging.
- SyncAdapterService: enqueue and wait on the unique work *name*, not the
  request id — enqueueUniqueWork is async so the id is unknown when the wait
  starts, and under KEEP it may never exist at all. Being deduplicated is not
  a failure.
- Account type and authority are per build variant, so debug and release do
  not fight over ownership. SyncContractTest guards the Kotlin/resValue pair.
- The credential blob is the only thing excluded from backup: Keystore keys are
  non-exportable, so a restored ciphertext can never be decrypted.

Known trade-off recorded in network_security_config.xml and SYNC-PLAN.md: the
user CA store is trusted for all traffic, which chunk 5's cert4android should
replace rather than sit beside.

The instrumented tests here compile but have not been run — device work waits
for an explicit go-ahead.

Agendula — documentation

Agendula is a Material 3 Expressive task app for Android. It carries its own task store — the dmfs task provider vendored under our own authority — so it is complete and local-first with nothing else installed; an external provider (OpenTasks / tasks.org, synced by DAVx5 / SmoothSync / DecSync) is a user choice rather than a requirement, and our own CalDAV sync is the 1.x arc. Sibling to Calendula. See the top-level ../README.md for the project pitch.

Doc What it covers
ARCHITECTURE.md How Agendula is built today — layers, the data seam, provider resolution, the reminder engine, DI, build/tooling, manifest. Start here to work on the code.
ROADMAP.md Status and what's next — milestones (M0M6 + Posture B), what's done, open decisions, how to build/verify.
STORAGE-AND-SYNC.md Where task data lives — the decision to ship our own provider, the storage modes, permissions, distribution, and the dead ends. Supersedes PLAN.md on storage.
SYNC.md How data reaches a server — the CalDAV sync adapter: the VTODO ↔ TaskContract mapper, Nextcloud sign-in, the engine, libraries and their licenses. Step 5 of STORAGE-AND-SYNC.md.
STORAGE-DECISION.md Keep the vendored provider, or build our own? The measured cost of both. Decided: build our own.
OWN-STORE.md Agendula's own Room store — the schema, recurrence design, migration off the vendored provider, and the six-phase plan that deletes :provider. Supersedes the "keep the provider" position in STORAGE-AND-SYNC.md.
PLAN.md The original implementation plan and design rationale — the A-now-B-later thesis, what transfers from Calendula, the locked decisions. The "why".
RELEASING.md How to cut a release — the git-tag-as-source-of-truth flow, CI jobs, F-Droid repo, required secrets.
../provider/PROVENANCE.md What the vendored :provider module is, where it came from, and every deviation from upstream dmfs.

Also: ../CHANGELOG.md (Keep a Changelog format; tag sections feed the release notes).

How the docs relate

  • PLAN is the original design decisions (the "why"), left as the historical record. On storage it is superseded by STORAGE-AND-SYNC.
  • STORAGE-AND-SYNC and SYNC are the standing decision documents: the first settles where data lives, the second how it syncs. Both record rejected alternatives on purpose, so decisions don't get relitigated.
  • ARCHITECTURE is the current shape of the code (kept in sync with the source as it grows).
  • ROADMAP is the moving status layer (update as milestones land).
  • RELEASING is the operational runbook.
