* feat: add product flavors and TorProvider abstraction
Introduces build flavors to separate Tor functionality from the standard build, reducing APK size for users who don't need Tor.
- Creates `standard` and `tor` product flavors.
- The `standard` flavor is the default, lightweight build.
- The `tor` flavor includes the Arti (Tor) dependency and is identified by the `.tor` application ID suffix.
- Adds a `TorProvider` interface and a `TorProviderFactory` to abstract Tor implementation details between flavors.
Prepares architecture for optional Tor support to reduce APK size
from 142MB to ~4-5MB for standard builds
Related to #454
* Refactor: implement StandardTorProvider and RealTorProvider
This commit refactors the Tor integration by introducing a `TorProvider` interface and creating separate implementations for 'tor' and 'standard' product flavors.
- The original `TorManager` singleton has been moved into `RealTorProvider` for the 'tor' flavor.
- A no-op `StandardTorProvider` is introduced for the 'standard' flavor, which reports Tor as unavailable.
- A `TorProviderFactory` is used to create the appropriate provider at runtime based on the build variant.
* refactor: migrate to TorProvider abstraction
Replaced direct calls to the static `TorManager` with an instance obtained from `TorProviderFactory`.
This change allows for different Tor implementations based on build flavors, improving modularity and abstracting the Tor provider logic.
Updated `BitchatApplication`, `ChatHeader`, `OkHttpProvider`, and `AboutSheet` to use the new factory pattern for accessing Tor functionalities.
* build: add flavor-specific ProGuard rules and CI/CD
- Split ProGuard rules: base, standard-specific, tor-specific
- Move Arti/Guardian Project rules to proguard-tor.pro
- Update CI/CD workflow to build both flavors
- Add separate artifact uploads for each flavor
- Add descriptive release notes template
CI now builds both standard (~4-5MB) and tor (~140MB) APKs."
resolves#454
* refactor: centralize network reset logic
Extracts the repeated network connection reset logic into a new private function `resetNetworkConnections()`.
This change also replaces direct `_statusFlow.value = ...` assignments with the safer `_statusFlow.update { ... }` function to prevent race conditions.
* ci: run separate build steps for flavors
* feat: disable Tor toggle if not available in build
* ci: parallelize builds and add conditional tor lint
Optimizes CI workflow:
- Parallel matrix builds (4 runners instead of sequential)
- Conditional tor lint only when app/src/tor/ changes in PRs
- Merged test+lint jobs to reduce setup overhead
Reduces CI time by ~50% (8-11 min vs 18-26 min)
* refactor: Unify Tor implementation and remove build flavors
This commit refactors the Tor integration by removing the `standard` and `tor` product flavors in favor of a single, unified build that always includes a custom-built Arti (Tor) library.
Key changes include:
* **Removed Build Flavors:** Deleted the `standard` and `tor` product flavors from `build.gradle.kts`, simplifying the build process and CI configuration.
* **Unified Tor Manager:** Replaced the `TorProvider` interface and flavor-specific implementations (`StandardTorProvider`, `RealTorProvider`) with a new singleton, `ArtiTorManager`. This class now manages the Arti lifecycle for all builds.
* **Custom Arti Wrapper:** Introduced a new `ArtiProxy` class to provide a compatible API wrapper around the custom-built native Arti library (`libarti_android.so`). This replaces the dependency on the external `arti-mobile-ex` library.
* **Updated Proguard:** Consolidated and updated Proguard rules into the main `proguard-rules.pro` file to keep the necessary `ArtiTorManager` and native library classes.
* **CI/CD Simplification:** Updated GitHub Actions workflows (`release.yml`, `android-build.yml`) to build and release a single APK instead of separate ones for each flavor.
* build: Configure ABI filters for debug and release builds
For debug builds, include `x86_64` to support emulators.
For release builds, only include `arm64-v8a` to minimize the final APK size.
* feat: Ignore jniLibs directory
This change adds the `app/src/main/jniLibs/` directory to the `.gitignore` file to prevent native libraries from being committed to the repository.
* feat: Refine .gitignore for Arti build artifacts
Improves the `.gitignore` file by:
- Ignoring all `build/` directories except for `tools/arti-build/`.
- Adding specific ignores for Arti build artifacts, including the cloned source repository and the Rust build cache directory.
* feat: Update arti android native library
* feat: add build script and JNI wrapper for Arti
Adds a comprehensive build system for creating custom Arti (Tor in Rust) shared libraries for Android. This replaces the dependency on external, outdated AARs with a fully transparent and reproducible build process.
Key changes:
- Introduces `build-arti.sh`, a script to clone the official Arti repository, apply a JNI wrapper, and build `.so` files for Android.
- Adds `ARTI_VERSION` to pin the build to a specific Arti release (v1.7.0).
- Implements a new Rust JNI wrapper (`src/lib.rs`) that exposes core functions like `initialize`, `startSocksProxy`, and `stop` to the Android app.
- Includes a `Cargo.toml` with release profile optimizations for size (`lto`, `strip`, `opt-level = "z"`).
- Provides detailed documentation in `README.md` explaining the build process, prerequisites, and architecture.

* feat(debug): add DebugSettingsManager + DebugSettingsSheet scaffold and AboutSheet entry; groundwork for verbose logging, GATT controls, relay stats, device/scan views
* fix(debug): wire debug sheet launch via onShowDebug in AboutSheet from ChatScreen; add public start/stop server/client methods}
* fix(about): remove misplaced debug item block inside PoW section; keep debug launcher managed by ChatScreen only
* feat(debug): wire DebugSettingsSheet role switches to explicit startServer/stopServer and startClient/stopClient; expose role controls + disconnectAll on BluetoothConnectionManager; fix syntax error; build passes
* feat(debug): add connect/disconnect helpers; wire DebugSettingsSheet connect/disconnect actions to BluetoothConnectionManager
* feat(debug): add debug settings button at bottom of AboutSheet; wire onShowDebug callback to open DebugSettingsSheet from ChatScreen
* feat(debug): wire verbose logging into chat view via DebugSettingsManager; add rolling relay stats; push connected devices and scan results; ensure GATT role stop closes connections; log incoming packets and relay events; add UI polling for devices; build passes
* chore(debug-branch): remove unrelated files that were mistakenly added in first commit; keep only intended debug settings changes
* fix(chat): prevent mesh→geohash leak
Root cause:
- DebugSettingsManager→chat bridge appended system logs to the global timeline regardless of active channel
- MeshDelegateHandler added public mesh messages to UI unconditionally
Fixes:
- Only inject debug system messages when selected location channel is Mesh
- Only add public mesh messages to UI when Mesh is selected (still send notifications)
Build: ./gradlew assembleDebug
}
* fix(timeline): restore message persistence across channel switches
Root cause:
- NostrGeohashService.switchLocationChannel() called messageManager.clearMessages()
which wiped ALL messages (mesh + debug + geohash) from main timeline
- Geohash events were adding to main timeline, causing cross-contamination
Fixes:
- Remove messageManager.clearMessages() from channel switching
- ChatScreen displayMessages now routes to separate storage:
- Mesh: messages (main timeline, includes debug logs when Mesh selected)
- Geohash: viewModel.getGeohashMessages(geohash) from separate history
- Private: privateChats[peerID]
- Channels: channelMessages[channel]
- Geohash events no longer add to main timeline, only to geohash history
- Mesh messages always stored to preserve history when switching away
Result: Each chat type has persistent separate storage, no message loss
* Debug/relay logs: use MessageType names; include device route in verbose packet logs.
* Verbose device-peer assignment and connection/disconnection logs with peerId, deviceId, nickname; packet relay log uses MessageType names.}
* Debug logs API: include nickname and deviceId for incoming/relay; update callers.}
* Fix compile: import MessageType; correct debug manager API usage and remove stray insertion; build.}
* Respect relay toggle; helper to log relay with deviceId.}
* PacketRelayManager: add relay toggle and unified logging helper; clean file header comments; build fixes.}
