claudeandbit 4a25e3681a Require FDROID_REPO_URL/FDROID_REPO_NAME so fdroid-update.sh cannot publish fdroidserver's placeholder
The published repo advertised fdroidserver's own demo values
(repo.address "https://MyFirstFDroidRepo.org/fdroid/repo", repo.name "My
First F-Droid Repo Demo") because fdroid-update.sh wrote config.yml itself
but never set repo_url/repo_name/repo_description, so fdroidserver fell
back to its template. The "Add to F-Droid" button on the generated
index.html is built from repo_url, which is how bit noticed. A publish
that succeeds while advertising the wrong URL is silently wrong -- worse
than a failed job.

Add FDROID_REPO_URL/FDROID_REPO_NAME/FDROID_REPO_DESCRIPTION environment
variables (not new positionals -- the script already has five plus
pass-through extra args). The first two are now a hard requirement, naming
the missing one; FDROID_REPO_DESCRIPTION stays optional. This is a breaking
change to a public composite action's interface, acceptable only because
weblib-viewer is the sole consumer and is updated in the same change
(weblib-viewer#26).

Also discovered while wiring this up and worth recording since it
contradicts the "no /fdroid/repo suffix" assumption in weblib's working
notes: fdroidserver's own common.py unconditionally refuses to run once
config.yml sets repo_url at all, unless it ends in the literal suffix
"/repo" -- there is no flag to disable that check, and the value is
embedded verbatim as repo.address. So FDROID_REPO_URL has to end in /repo,
and publish.sh's existing <prefix> argument has to put the published tree
under a URL path that actually ends in /repo to match, or fdroid update
refuses to run at all (checked positive) / the address points at a path
the bucket never serves (checked against the live fdroid-weblib-dev bucket
layout).

Extends test_fdroid_update.sh: config.yml carries the values, the resulting
index-v2.json has the right repo.address/name/description (not
fdroidserver's placeholder), a name with an embedded single quote survives
the YAML round-trip, and the script fails when FDROID_REPO_URL or
FDROID_REPO_NAME is absent or FDROID_REPO_URL lacks the /repo suffix.
run_tests.sh: 104 passed / 4 skipped (was 98/4).

Filed as fdroid-repo-ci#11.

claudeandbit a5e4cb6a01 Take sign-apk.sh out of the default publish path; document the never-an-app-key invariant
bit settled the model on weblib-viewer#19: the builder signs an APK, and
this repo only distributes it -- the same signature has to work whether the
APK reached a device via a git release or via F-Droid, and fdroid update
never creates a signature of its own. sign-apk.sh remains for a consumer
whose build genuinely produces an unsigned artifact, but action.yml's
header comment and the README's "Using it" example no longer show it as a
default-flow step, and both now say explicitly that this repo is never
handed an app signing key -- only the repo index key.

Also records two decisions that had nowhere to live yet: the index key's
config/secret names must stay distinct from the APK key's even while both
resolve to the same keystore for now (bit intends to split them later), and
the index key must be generated as RSA 4096, overriding F-Droid's own docs,
which suggest 2048.

Fixes #9.

claudeandbit e5d1f9a5bf next-version-code.sh: derive the candidate from the commit, not the build clock
fdroid-repo-ci#6's "Superseded" sections change the rule: the candidate is
now the committer date of the commit being built, clamped on both sides,
rather than whatever minute the runner happened to pick the job up in.

Backwards: rebase, amend and cherry-pick can produce a commit older than
one already published, so the clamp keys off the committer date, not the
author date -- author date survives a rebase unchanged and would replay a
stale, already-superseded number.

Forwards: a commit's timestamp is attacker- and typo-controlled and the
number only ever rises, so a bad one can never be walked back. A value
placed just below the int32 ceiling would still publish and then no later
build could ever exceed it -- the app becomes permanently un-updatable.
TOLERANCE absorbs honest clock skew and the clamp warns loudly rather than
rejecting, since rejecting would block a legitimate build over a few
minutes of skew while buying nothing the clamp doesn't already cover.

next_version_code.py now takes the committer timestamp as a third
argument (Unix seconds, what `git log -1 --format=%ct` prints) instead of
reading the system clock, keeping it pure and testable without a git
checkout. next-version-code.sh, README.md and action.yml updated to match.

Granularity stays minutes: concurrency is handled separately (a
workflow-level concurrency group, plus publish.sh's refuse-on-existing),
so it is now a pure headroom choice.

Tests (test_next_version_code.py, test_next_version_code.sh): a normal
commit yields its own minute, a commit older than the published maximum
still yields published+1, a future-dated commit within tolerance passes
through untouched while one beyond it is clamped and warns, a commit
dated near the int32 ceiling does not produce a near-int32 result, and a
dedicated property test checks the result always strictly exceeds every
versionCode in the fixture across all of the above. Each was verified by
injecting the corresponding fault (removing the backwards clamp, removing
the forwards clamp, and ignoring the commit's date entirely) and
confirming the relevant test failed, then reverting.

98 assertions offline (0 failed, 4 skipped -- pre-existing, live-bucket
only), up from 91.

claudeandbit ccb8cb616e publish.sh: replace the test-only eval hook with --files-only/--index-only
bit's review on PR #7 (comment on the PR, appended to this reasoning):
run_test_hook() eval'd an environment variable in publish.sh, which runs
with the release signing key and S3 credentials in its environment, in a
public repo. "Never set by a real caller" was true, but it was still a
documented, discoverable path from any env-var influence to arbitrary code
execution at the worst possible moment -- unnecessary, which is the
stronger reason to remove it than any claim about likelihood.

The replacement is a feature rather than a seam: --files-only and
--index-only split the two passes into separately invokable steps. With
neither flag the default is unchanged (both passes, files first). This
makes the ordering guarantee testable by construction -- run --files-only,
assert the bucket state, run --index-only, assert again -- with no hook, no
eval, and no test-only branch in production code. It is also independently
useful: an interrupted publish can resume at the index step without
re-uploading every APK, and a caller can stage files now and publish the
index later. The APK-existence check is skipped entirely for a plain
--index-only invocation, since that pass can never upload a *.apk.

Re-tested end to end: offline 91 passed / 4 skipped / 0 failed (up from 83/
3/0, mostly new flag-construction and stub assertions); live against
fdroid-weblib-dev 104 passed / 0 skipped / 0 failed, bucket verified empty
before and after. Added a live fault-injection test that --index-only alone
against a prefix --files-only never touched really does publish an index
naming an absent file -- the exact state the ordering guarantee exists to
prevent -- contrasted with the default path, which never reaches it.
Offline, removing the run_files/run_index gating (simulating the flags
being ignored) was confirmed to fail 5 of the new assertions before being
reverted.

Left the versionCode granularity as minutes, per instruction: that is being
settled separately on weblib-viewer#15 and is a one-constant change for
whenever it lands, not something to pre-empt here.

claudeandbit 19e55c4a53 publish.sh: verify credentials and upload the index last; add next-version-code.sh
Closes #5
Closes #6

An F-Droid repo is a signed index plus the files it names, and a partial
upload could previously leave them disagreeing: aws s3 sync walks the tree
in its own order, so an interrupted publish could land the index before the
APKs it names, breaking the repo for every client until the upload finished
or was rolled back. publish.sh now uploads in two passes, unconditionally --
every non-index file first, the index (index-v1.json(.asc), index-v2.json,
entry.json, entry.jar) last -- so an interruption anywhere in pass 1 simply
leaves the repo describing the old state a little longer, never a mixture.
Credentials are also verified with one real authenticated call
(head-bucket) before either pass, rather than merely checking the
environment variables are non-empty, since an unusable-but-present
credential failing halfway through is exactly how a partial upload happens.

next-version-code.sh is the one implementation of the versionCode rule
(candidate = minutes since 2026-01-01Z, clamped to strictly exceed whatever
is already published for that applicationId), shared by CI and manual
builds so there is exactly one place this can drift. bit pointed out
(appended to #6) that the clamp is monotonic against *observed* state, not
monotonic by construction: two jobs starting in the same minute can both
read the same published value and race to publish the same versionCode on
different APKs. Nothing can prevent that wasted build, so publish.sh now
also refuses to overwrite an already-existing APK object before pass 1 --
turning the collision from a silent, permanent wrong state into a loud
failure at the last moment the information is reliable.

Tested offline (83 assertions: pure-stdlib suites for both scripts, the
real CLIs through with-nixpkgs.sh, and a small local HEAD-only S3 stub
proving the credential check is a real authenticated call and the
APK-collision refusal fires only when it should) and live against
fdroid-weblib-dev (7 more: a real publish observed mid-flight via a
same-process synchronization hook to prove the index is genuinely absent
while the file is already present, both objects reading back
byte-identical, and a second publish refused against a real
already-published APK with its bytes left unchanged).

claudeandbit 52f8de9993 README: narrow the "not hard-coded" claim to what is true
It said no organisation appears "in a path, URL or workflow reference",
while the usage examples immediately above necessarily contain
`https://git.chaosbit.de/weblib/fdroid-repo-ci@main` -- a consumer has to
type this repository's address, so it cannot not appear.

A rule a file visibly breaks is worse than no rule: the next person either
"fixes" the examples or stops trusting the section. So the claim now covers
what it should -- consumer-specific things, and any named consumer -- and
calls out this repo's own address as the one deliberate exception, which is
also a useful pointer to the exact lines to edit when the repo moves org.

Found in the cold re-read of #2.

claudeandbit 3f14c01b00 Build the shared F-Droid publishing tooling: sign, index, publish
Adds sign-apk.sh (align-check + apksigner), fdroid-update.sh (fdroid
update over a binary repo, signing the index with its own separate
key), publish.sh (S3-compatible upload) and the composite action
tying them together, matching weblib-ci's shape.

zipalign is not a standalone nixpkgs attribute; resolved by measurement
rather than assumption that Gradle/AGP already aligns its output (Android's
own docs, corroborated by fdroidserver never shelling out to zipalign) and
added check_zip_alignment.py as the safety net, since apksigner itself does
not check alignment at all. nixpkgs is pinned via a committed nixpkgs-pin
revision, since this repo has no flake.lock of its own for with-nixpkgs.sh
to read (fdroid-repo-ci#1, weblib-ci#9) -- a missing or malformed pin fails
loudly rather than degrading to an unpinned nix shell.

No consumer repo, bucket, hostname or channel name is hard-coded: which
repo holds the keys and runs the publish has already changed once during
this issue and may again, so every example uses a placeholder.

42 offline/local-only test assertions across five suites (run_tests.sh),
including fault injection on the alignment check, the password/argument
validation, and the with-nixpkgs.sh fail-loud paths.
