EdisonJwa 50768a8f48 feat(mvp): v1.0.0-rc.1 — keyring-backed DEK, encrypted bookmarks, MVP release-gate docs
Closes the v0.4 dual-file weakness in identity-at-rest and turns the
release into an MVP public release candidate. The remaining work
before `v1.0.0` is DEC-012 legal sign-off — see
`docs/governance/legal-review-readiness.md` — and the staged
platform promotions in `docs/governance/staged-release-plan.md`.
No decision rows in `product-decision-register.md` change; the
register's change-history advances to 0.9.8.

`chanora_storage`
-----------------

* New public `Crypto` trait + `IdentityFileStore::crypto()` give
  callers an encrypt / decrypt pair anchored on the per-install
  32-byte DEK without exposing the key material.
* `IdentityFileStore` keyring-first DEK retrieval (Linux Secret
  Service via D-Bus, macOS Keychain, Windows Credential Manager,
  iOS Keychain via the `keyring` crate). Pre-existing
  `identity.dek` files are opportunistically migrated into the
  keyring on first run; the on-disk DEK copy is removed once the
  keyring acknowledges. `CHANORA_DISABLE_KEYRING=1` forces the
  file-fallback path for tests and headless / CI hosts where a
  real keyring call would prompt the user or block on a missing
  D-Bus session.
* `BookmarkRepository::with_crypto(dir, crypto)` encrypts the
  server password into a new `password_blob` BLOB column under
  the same per-install DEK. Schema v2 migration is idempotent —
  legacy v0.4 rows with a plain `password TEXT` are read
  transparently and lifted into `password_blob` on the next
  `update()`. `BookmarkRepository::new` (no crypto) is preserved
  for tests and as a documented fallback when the DEK is
  unreachable.
* Storage tests rise from 8 to 10: encrypted bookmark password
  round-trip + legacy-plaintext-bookmark upgrade.

`chanora_core`
--------------

* `ChanoraSession::init_storage(dir)` wires the bookmark
  repository with crypto by default. On any crypto-derivation
  failure it falls back to the plain-password repository and
  logs the gap — better than hard-failing init.
* `supervisor_loop` now tracks a 64-bit `snapshot_signature` over
  channels (id + parent + order + name) and clients (id + channel
  + name) instead of the old `(channel_count, client_count)`
  tuple. Any in-channel client move, channel rename, or reorder
  now fires `SessionEvent::SnapshotChanged`. The signature sorts
  by id before hashing so it's stable under input-vector
  reordering.
* Two new unit tests cover the signature behaviour; new
  `tests/mvp_storage.rs` integration test drives
  `ChanoraSession::init_storage` end-to-end and verifies the
  bookmark `password_blob` does not contain the plaintext.
* Re-export `ChannelId` + `ClientId` from `chanora_protocol` so
  downstream callers and tests can construct DTOs directly.

Flutter
-------

* New About dialog (info icon in the AppBar) surfaces DEC-018
  (public name "Chanora"), DEC-019 (non-affiliation statement),
  and DEC-020 (Apache-2.0 OR MIT dual license). New ARB keys in
  `app_en.arb` and `app_zh.arb`: `aboutAction`, `aboutVersion`,
  `aboutNonAffiliation`, `aboutLicenseHeading`, `aboutLicenseBody`,
  `aboutThirdPartyHeading`, `aboutThirdPartyBody`.
* `pubspec.yaml` version bumps to `1.0.0-rc.1+5`.

Governance
----------

* `docs/governance/legal-review-readiness.md` — DEC-012 handoff
  package. Enumerates trademark / non-affiliation / license-text
  / third-party-attribution / `tsclientlib`-posture / crypto-
  export / data-handling items the legal reviewer must confirm,
  and lists the concrete engineering deliverables they block on
  (`cargo about generate`, `cargo deny check licenses`,
  Flutter `LicenseRegistry` dump).
* `docs/governance/staged-release-plan.md` — DEC-002 channel
  schedule. Linux + Android sideload promote to GA on DEC-012
  sign-off; Play Store / Windows / macOS / iOS gate on per-
  platform signed-build availability. Rollback policy included.
* `product-decision-register.md` change-history advances to
  0.9.8 with a single entry summarising v0.3, v0.4, and v1.0-rc.1
  progress against DEC-001. No decision rows mutate.

Build + ops
-----------

* `NOTICE` refreshed for the MVP product-code dependency set:
  adds `chacha20poly1305`, `rand`, `zeroize`, `base64`,
  `keyring`, `connectivity_plus`, `path_provider`,
  `freezed_annotation`; drops PoC-only entries.
* `CHANGELOG.md` restructured: explicit version sections for
  v0.3.0-beta.1, v0.4.0-beta.2, v1.0.0-rc.1. Previous "Unreleased"
  contents migrated into their respective milestone sections.
* `.github/workflows/ci.yml` exports `CHANORA_DISABLE_KEYRING=1`
  for the cargo-test job — CI runners have no D-Bus session and
  the keyring crate would otherwise block.
* `run-chanora.sh` reads `CHANORA_BUNDLE_FLAVOUR` (default
  `release`) and self-copies the latest cdylib into the bundle's
  `lib/` if missing.

Verification
------------

* `cargo test --workspace` with `CHANORA_DISABLE_KEYRING=1`: all
  green (49 unit tests across the workspace; up from 36 at
  v0.4.0-beta.2).
* `cargo test -p chanora_core --release -- --ignored alpha_smoke`
  passes against the live `cn.teamspeak.app` (DNS → connect →
  snapshot → disconnect in ~2.5 s).
* `flutter analyze`: clean.
* `cargo build -p chanora_bridge --release` + `flutter build
  linux --release` produce a working Linux x86_64 bundle.

No Android live test in this commit per the user's note that the
physical device was removed; the Android arm64-v8a build path is
mechanically identical to v0.4.0-beta.2.

CHANORA_CFG_Product_Decision_Register_v0.9.7.0.0

Document type: Configuration / Product Decision Register
Version: 0.9.7
Status: Baseline Candidate
Language: English
Product: Chanora
Repo path: docs/governance/product-decision-register.md ---

1. Purpose

This document records key product, architecture, release, legal, and engineering decisions that affect Chanora scope, testing, architecture, app store eligibility, and release readiness.

A decision marked Proposed / Owner Confirmation Required is a recommended decision that should be confirmed by the owner before Final / Approved Baseline.

2. Decision Status Legend

Status Meaning
Proposed / Owner Confirmation Required Recommended decision; owner must confirm before Final.
Accepted Confirmed and part of baseline.
Deferred Not decided for this release; must not block scope if explicitly deferred.
Rejected Not selected.

3. Key Blocking Decisions

Decision ID Decision Recommended decision Status Owner Why it matters
DEC-001 Release type Internal Alpha first, then External Beta, then MVP Public / Store Release Accepted Product Owner Controls release gate, verification bar, legal/privacy requirements, and platform scope.
DEC-002 MVP platform scope MVP target remains Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS; first release may be staged by channel/platform Accepted Product Owner + Engineering Owner Controls verification matrix, build artifacts, store readiness, and support load.
DEC-003 Minimum iOS version iOS 13 minimum for Flutter support baseline; test latest iOS release separately Accepted Product Owner + iOS Owner Controls iOS compatibility, test devices, and app store eligibility.
DEC-004 Minimum Android version Android API 28 (Android 9.0) minimum, raised from the original recommendation of API 24 by explicit owner ruling on 2026-05-14. Rationale: simplifies the audio path (AAudio is unconditionally available from API 26+ and stable from API 28), narrows the TLS / privacy / scoped-storage compatibility surface, and matches typical 2026 Android baselines. The cpal-on-Oboe Android spike was built with minSdk = 24 and cargo-ndk -P 26; product code in apps/chanora_flutter must move minSdk to 28 and may simplify the AAudio-vs-OpenSL-ES fallback logic accordingly. Accepted Product Owner + Android Owner Controls Android device support, runtime permissions, and Play Store eligibility.
DEC-005 Android target SDK Target the Google Play-required API level on the upload date; current release gate uses API 35+ unless newer Google policy applies Accepted Android Owner + Release Manager Required for new apps and updates submitted to Google Play after the current policy date.
DEC-006 Multiple server connections in MVP Not in MVP; support one active server connection per client instance Accepted Product Owner + Software Architect Reduces state synchronization, audio routing, UI complexity, and verification scope.
DEC-007 AEC default state Enabled by default on platforms/audio backends where supported and stable Accepted Audio Owner + Product Owner Affects echo quality, CPU usage, platform behavior, and user experience.
DEC-008 AGC default state Enabled by default, with user setting to disable Accepted Audio Owner + Product Owner Affects perceived loudness consistency and may affect advanced user preference.
DEC-009 Noise suppression default state Enabled by default, with user setting to disable Accepted Audio Owner + Product Owner Improves typical voice quality but may affect voice naturalness and CPU usage.
DEC-010 High-pass filter default state Enabled by default Accepted Audio Owner Removes low-frequency rumble and usually improves speech capture.
DEC-011 Audio processing implementation path Use platform-native audio processing first where available; use Rust/WebRTC-style processing as controlled fallback or later architecture option Accepted Software Architect + Audio Owner Controls architecture, latency, CPU use, platform compatibility, and testing.
DEC-011.1 Audio crate choice cpal for desktop (empirically verified on Linux/PipeWire by poc/audio-capture-playback-spike on 2026-05-13) and for Android (cpal-on-Oboe, empirically verified on a Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2023) running Android 14 arm64-v8a by poc/audio-capture-playback-android-spike on 2026-05-13); iOS crate TBD pending an iOS spike that requires macOS + Xcode hardware Accepted (desktop + Android) / Deferred (iOS) Software Architect + Audio Owner Pins the desktop and Android audio dependencies; iOS remains an open risk surface.
DEC-012 Official SDK / trademark / licensing review Public/store release is blocked until legal confirms TeamSpeak non-affiliation wording, trademark usage, OSS licenses, and tsclientlib license posture Accepted (as a release gate) Legal / Compliance + Product Owner Public release risk and store metadata risk. Owner accepted the gate on 2026-05-14; the legal review itself is still to be performed and remains a public-release blocker.
DEC-013 Local database choice Use SQLite or equivalent embedded local database for non-secret local state; secrets remain in platform secure storage Accepted Software Architect + Storage Owner Controls storage schema, migrations, backup/delete policy, and portability.
DEC-013.1 SQLite crate rusqlite with the bundled feature (SQLite statically linked into the binary; no system libsqlite3 dependency); verified by poc/sqlite-storage-spike on 2026-05-13 Accepted Software Architect + Storage Owner Pins the embedded-DB dependency; locks reproducibility.
DEC-013.2 Linux secure-storage backend policy Prefer Secret Service (libsecret / gnome-keyring / kwallet / KeePassXC) on Linux; if the default collection is locked or D-Bus is unavailable, fall back to kernel keyutils with a clear user notice. Both backends are "equivalent" per SysRS-053 / SysRS-162; verified by poc/secure-storage-spike on 2026-05-13 Accepted Software Architect + Storage Owner + Security Reviewer Closes the SysRS-162 ambiguity surfaced by the secure-storage PoC.
DEC-014 Bridge choice Use a stable typed Flutter/Rust bridge with generated or schema-controlled DTOs; flutter_rust_bridge 2.x pinned (empirically verified at 2.12.0 by poc/flutter_rust_bridge_hello on 2026-05-13) Accepted Software Architect Controls API stability, maintainability, async event flow, and long-term code generation.
DEC-015 Product language for MVP English + Chinese (Simplified) for MVP, raised from the original recommendation of English-only by explicit owner ruling on 2026-05-14. Rationale: the demonstrated test-server population (verified live against cn.teamspeak.app) and broader TS3 audience include substantial Chinese-speaking users; shipping zh-Hans alongside en at MVP avoids a launch-window UX gap. Architecture remains i18n-ready so additional languages can be added later mechanically. Server-provided content is preserved verbatim and never translated (ADR-008 UTF-8 boundary, DEC-015 server-content rule retained). Accepted Product Owner Controls localization scope and release schedule.
DEC-016 Diagnostics upload policy No automatic upload for MVP; user-initiated local diagnostic export only Accepted Product Owner + Legal + Security Controls privacy policy, support workflow, and security review scope.
DEC-017 Crash reporting Disabled for MVP unless explicit opt-in provider and privacy policy are approved Accepted Product Owner + Legal + Security Avoids privacy/legal complexity before public release.
DEC-018 Public product name Chanora Accepted Product Owner Branding and legal identity. Trademark / registrability check remains under DEC-012 legal review before public release.
DEC-019 Public non-affiliation statement Use legal-approved wording; drafted text accepted as working copy: "Chanora is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or officially associated with TeamSpeak." Subject to final legal review under DEC-012 before public release. Accepted (drafted wording) Legal / Compliance Required for public release and store metadata.
DEC-021 Apple App Store submission SDK Use Xcode 26 or later and the iOS 26 / iPadOS 26 SDK or later for App Store submission on or after 2026-04-28, unless Apple publishes a newer applicable requirement before upload Accepted iOS Owner + Release Manager Controls App Store Connect upload eligibility and release pipeline.
DEC-020 License model Dual-licensed under Apache-2.0 OR MIT (recipient's choice), the standard Rust-ecosystem permissive license model. Accepted on 2026-05-14. Compatible with every direct dependency in the PoC tree (tsclientlib MIT-OR-Apache-2.0, flutter_rust_bridge MIT, cpal Apache-2.0, rusqlite MIT, keyring MIT-OR-Apache-2.0, etc.) and with the Flutter framework's BSD-3-Clause. The license texts ship as LICENSE-APACHE and LICENSE-MIT at the repository root; an aggregator LICENSE points to both. NOTICE enumerates current direct-dependency attributions. The full OSS legal review (transitive deps, license obligations, OSS notices) remains under DEC-012 and is still required before public release. Accepted Product Owner + Legal Business and OSS compliance decision. No longer a public-release blocker by itself; legal review under DEC-012 is the remaining gate.
DEC-022 Canonical implementation directory layout Accept the README's sketch as canonical: apps/chanora_flutter/, core/chanora_core/, crates/chanora_protocol/, crates/chanora_audio/, crates/chanora_state/, crates/chanora_storage/, crates/chanora_diagnostics/, crates/chanora_bridge/. Matches SAD §7.2 module decomposition Accepted Software Architect Unblocks product-crate scaffolding; was not formalised by any prior doc.

6. Decisions That Must Be Confirmed By You

All decisions in the register have been addressed by the owner. The remaining release-gating work (not decisions) is the legal review itself under DEC-012, which must complete before any public/store release but is not an open decision:

Priority Item Status
P0 DEC-012 legal/trademark/licensing review — perform the actual review work (non-affiliation wording final sign-off, trademark registrability check, transitive-dependency OSS obligations, tsclientlib license posture confirmation). Pending; gate Accepted.

8. Change History

Version Date Description
0.9.0 2026-05-14 Updated decision register with proposed decisions for mobile minimum versions, audio defaults, audio implementation path, legal review, local database, bridge choice, diagnostics policy, and MVP release scope.

Baseline Candidate 0.9.1 Update

Version Date Description
0.9.1 2026-05-14 Updated baseline after product decision closure: Apple App Store SDK gate uses Xcode 26+ and iOS 26 / iPadOS 26 SDK+ for App Store Connect upload on or after 2026-04-28, platform baselines and decision traceability propagated across the document set.

Baseline Candidate 0.9.2 Update

Version Date Description
0.9.2 2026-05-14 Corrected Apple App Store Connect upload gate to 2026-04-28 and checked full-package naming, references, and coverage.

Baseline Candidate 0.9.3 Update

Version Date Description
0.9.3 2026-05-14 Recorded owner-confirmed decisions surfaced during the initial PoC phase: DEC-014 Accepted (flutter_rust_bridge 2.x pinned); added DEC-011.1 Accepted for desktop (cpal) / Deferred for mobile; added DEC-013.1 Accepted (rusqlite bundled); added DEC-013.2 Accepted (Linux Secret Service preferred with keyutils fallback); added DEC-022 Accepted (canonical implementation directory layout per README sketch and SAD §7.2); DEC-020 explicitly Deferred and remains a public-release blocker. Evidence pointers: poc/flutter_rust_bridge_hello/VERIFICATION.md, poc/secure-storage-spike/VERIFICATION.md, poc/sqlite-storage-spike/VERIFICATION.md, poc/audio-capture-playback-spike/VERIFICATION.md.

Baseline Candidate 0.9.4 Update

Version Date Description
0.9.4 2026-05-14 Promoted DEC-011.1 mobile half from Deferred to Accepted (Android), keeping iOS Deferred. Evidence: poc/audio-capture-playback-android-spike/VERIFICATION.md records empirical playback (22,050 frames at 44.1 kHz mono out of the device speaker) and capture (42,624 frames written to a valid 85,292-byte RIFF/WAVE mono 16-bit PCM file) on a physical Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2023) running Android 14 arm64-v8a, verifying the full Rust → cpal → Oboe → AAudio → Android audio HAL path.

Baseline Candidate 0.9.5 Update

Version Date Description
0.9.5 2026-05-14 Owner confirmation pass on all previously-Proposed decisions. Accepted: DEC-001, DEC-002, DEC-003, DEC-005, DEC-006, DEC-007, DEC-008, DEC-009, DEC-010, DEC-011, DEC-012 (as a release gate), DEC-013, DEC-015, DEC-016, DEC-017, DEC-018, DEC-019 (drafted wording), DEC-021. Two decisions modified from their original recommendations: DEC-004 Android minimum raised from API 24 to API 28 (simpler audio path, narrower compatibility surface); DEC-015 product language expanded from English-only to English + Chinese (Simplified) for MVP (reflects the demonstrated TS3-compatible-server audience). DEC-020 license model remains Open / Deferred — the only public-release blocker outstanding. §4 renamed from "Recommended MVP Defaults" to "Accepted MVP Defaults" with MODIFIED rows annotated. §6 collapsed to the single remaining DEC-020 item. §7 dated and statused.

Baseline Candidate 0.9.6 Update

Version Date Description
0.9.6 2026-05-14 DEC-020 license model closed: Apache-2.0 OR MIT dual-license (standard Rust-ecosystem permissive model). The license is compatible with every direct dependency in the PoC tree (tsclientlib, flutter_rust_bridge, cpal, rusqlite, keyring, hound, etc.) and with the Flutter framework's BSD-3-Clause. License texts added as LICENSE-APACHE and LICENSE-MIT at the repository root; the existing LICENSE file now aggregates both with the dual-license declaration and the standard Apache-2.0 inbound-contribution clause. NOTICE populated with current direct-dependency attributions. README §License rewritten. §4 updated. §6 collapsed: there is no longer any open decision — DEC-012 legal review remains a pending work item, not a pending decision. With this change, every previously-Proposed or Open decision in the register has been resolved; the only outstanding release-gating activity is the DEC-012 legal review itself (which is sign-off work, not an architectural choice).

Baseline Candidate 0.9.7 Update

Version Date Description
0.9.7 2026-05-14 DEC-001 release-sequence progress recorded: Internal Alpha (v0.1.0-alpha.1, commit 3bb038c) completed on 2026-05-14; Internal Beta first build (v0.2.0-beta.1) reached the same day. Beta milestone adds voice in/out: crates/chanora_audio promoted from scaffold to a cpal-based capture + playback engine with audiopus Opus encoding and tsclientlib AudioHandler for decode + jitter buffer + mix; crates/chanora_protocol extended to forward inbound voice packets and accept outbound OutPackets via mpsc channels; core/chanora_core::ChanoraSession exposes start_audio, set_ptt, and audio_stats; crates/chanora_bridge adds matching DTOs; the Flutter UI gains a "Start audio" action and a hold-to-talk PTT button with live frame counters. Verified end-to-end against cn.teamspeak.app; capture runs in graceful playback-only mode on hosts with no usable microphone (e.g. the PipeWire auto_null source on the verification host). No decision rows change; this entry documents progress against DEC-001 only.
0.9.8 2026-05-15 DEC-001 release-sequence progress recorded for the polished Internal Beta and the External Beta milestones, plus the first MVP-public release candidate. v0.3.0-beta.1 ("Internal Beta polish") added the supervisor + reconnect-with-watchdog path (A.6), OS-connectivity-aware backoff (A.6.1), persistent identity at rest as a plain 0600 file (A.2), the redacted in-memory log sink + user-initiated diagnostic export per DEC-016 (A.3), the SnapshotChanged lifecycle event for UI auto-refresh (A.4), and the mobile_voice_preset config-surface plumb-through (A.5). v0.4.0-beta.2 ("External Beta") added the server-password input, channel join via tap, self mute (input + output), master output gain, SQLite-backed bookmark list, ChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption of the identity at rest with the DEK in a separate identity.dek file, Android AudioManager.setMode(MODE_IN_COMMUNICATION) routing engagement via JNI, and the .github/workflows/ci.yml pipeline. v1.0.0-rc.1 ("MVP Public release candidate") closes the v0.4 DEK-on-disk weakness on every keyring-reachable platform: chanora_storage::IdentityFileStore now stores the DEK in the OS keyring (Linux Secret Service via D-Bus / macOS Keychain / Windows Credential Manager / iOS Keychain via the keyring crate) and migrates pre-existing file-fallback installs into the keyring opportunistically; bookmark server passwords are ChaCha20-Poly1305-encrypted under the same per-install DEK and the legacy plain password TEXT column is upgraded into a new password_blob BLOB column on the next update(); SessionEvent::SnapshotChanged now fires on any tree mutation (the in-channel-move blind spot from A.4 is closed); the in-app About dialog surfaces DEC-018 / DEC-019 / DEC-020. New docs/governance/legal-review-readiness.md carries the DEC-012 handoff package (trademark check, non-affiliation wording, third-party license posture, cargo about deliverables, cargo deny lifelines); new docs/governance/staged-release-plan.md enumerates the DEC-002 platform staging (Linux + Android sideload GA on DEC-012 sign-off; Windows, macOS, iOS gate on per-platform signed-build availability). No decision rows change; DEC-012 remains the sole outstanding release gate.
