📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request changes database encryption detection and lifecycle management, adds corruption backups and crash-log export, updates crash-related UI and storage rules, and adds corruption and SQLCipher tests.

Changes

Database lifecycle and recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Database detection and corruption recovery
app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/data/NotallyDatabase.kt, app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/data/BackupOpenHelperFactory.kt, app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/utils/security/*, app/src/main/res/xml/*
Database state is detected from the SQLite header. Corruption handling backs up database files before reporting failure. Automatic backup rules exclude database files.
Database instance lifecycle and call-site updates
app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/data/NotallyDatabase.kt, app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/presentation/*, app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/utils/*
Database access uses main-thread APIs without the removed preference-observation flag. Storage and biometric-lock changes clear, recreate, and republish database instances.
Crash data export and error flow
app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/utils/*, app/src/main/res/layout/*, app/src/main/res/values/*, app/src/main/res/xml/provider_paths.xml, app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/presentation/activity/main/fragment/settings/SettingsFragment.kt
Crash screens export database files and PID-filtered logs to Crashes directories. The settings screen opens crash logs, and the error layout displays links for exported files.
Corruption validation and repository support
app/src/test/kotlin/*, AGENTS.md, gradle.properties, .gitignore, crashes.txt
Tests cover corrupt databases, header-based state detection, file preservation, and attachment handling. Repository guidance, tooling settings, ignore rules, and crash traces are added or updated.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 0cd86

Database corruption or failed biometric transitions can leave notes inaccessible or the database unrecoverable, while crash reporting can omit logs or encourage accidental disclosure of note contents. These issues should be fixed before merge.

Inline comments:
In
`@app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/data/NonDestructiveOpenHelperFactory.kt`:
- Line 72: Update the corruption handler override in
NonDestructiveOpenHelperFactory to invoke delegate.onCorruption(db) in a finally
block after attempting the backup, ensuring the callback runs even when backup
handling fails and preserving the framework’s corruption cleanup.
- Around line 21-23: Update the Kotlin formatting contract by aligning the
2-space indentation requirement in AGENTS.md with the ktfmt configuration in
app/build.gradle.kts, which currently uses kotlinLangStyle() and 4-space
indentation. Adjust the configuration or documented requirement consistently
before changing formatting in NonDestructiveOpenHelperFactory.create.
- Around line 48-58: Update the target-directory selection in
NonDestructiveOpenHelperFactory.onCorruption so the external backup directory is
used only when it exists as a directory and is writable; otherwise select
filesDir/corrupted_backups. Preserve the existing directory-creation attempt and
fallback behavior, but validate the resulting File before assigning it to
targetDir.

In `@app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/data/NotallyDatabase.kt`:
- Around line 114-115: Update clearInstance() to clear the instance holder after
closing the current database, ensuring a later getDatabase() call creates and
publishes a fresh database instead of returning the closed value. Preserve the
existing close behavior and coordinate with postInstance() as needed for safe
recreation.

In
`@app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/presentation/viewmodel/BaseNoteModel.kt`:
- Line 267: Update enableBiometricLock() and disableBiometricLock() to make each
biometric transition failure-safe: snapshot the original database file and all
modified preferences before changing state, restore both snapshots when
encryption, validation, or file replacement fails, and ensure overwrite failures
also trigger the existing backup restoration path. Keep the successful
transition behavior unchanged and continue clearing the database holder via
NotallyDatabase.clearInstance().

In
`@app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/utils/AutoRemoveDeletedNotesWorker.kt`:
- Line 45: Move database retrieval to the main thread at all four call sites: in
AutoRemoveDeletedNotesWorker.kt line 45 and CleanupMissingAttachmentsWorker.kt
line 28, wrap retrieval with withContext(Dispatchers.Main); in
ExportExtensions.kt line 569, retrieve the database on the main thread before
backup I/O; and in ImportExtensions.kt line 291, retrieve it on the main thread
before DAO work. Preserve the existing background work after retrieval.

In `@app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/utils/DataSchemaMigrations.kt`:
- Line 83: Restrict the catch around dao.get(id) to explicit, repairable
corruption exceptions that prove the note body requires repair before deletion.
Ensure cancellation and unexpected database, transient, or converter failures
are rethrown rather than sent through the repair-and-delete path, while
preserving the existing handling for confirmed oversized or corrupted bodies.
- Line 72: Update runMigrations so NotallyDatabase.getDatabase(...).value
executes on Dispatchers.Main, then resume splitOversizedNotes and the remaining
migration work on Dispatchers.IO. Preserve the existing database context and
migration behavior.

In `@app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/utils/IOExtensions.kt`:
- Line 365: Update ContextWrapper.getLogsDir and the private
ContextWrapper.getExternalMediaDirectory overload so logs use the
fallback-capable media-directory implementation. Remove the duplicate overload
or delegate it to the fallback implementation, avoiding requireNotNull when
external media is unavailable.

In `@app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/utils/security/SQLCipherUtils.java`:
- Around line 77-78: Update the invalid-header branch in SQLCipherUtils so a
database that is neither valid plaintext nor successfully recognized as
encrypted returns an unknown or corrupted state instead of State.ENCRYPTED.
Ensure NotallyDatabase.createInstance() does not enable biometric locking or
alter encryption preferences based solely on this classification; only update
those preferences after encrypted opening succeeds.

In `@app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/utils/backup/ExportExtensions.kt`:
- Around line 1114-1116: Update backupDatabaseFiles() to propagate database-copy
failures instead of only logging them, and ensure the caller handles the failure
before claiming the backup is available. Use the existing ErrorActivity
user-feedback path, such as an error dialog, showToast, or showSnackbar, while
preserving successful backup behavior.
- Line 1072: Update the fallback backup path near getExternalBackupsDirectory()
so timestamped target directories are created beneath the corrupted_backups
root, and pass that same fallback root to keepOnylNewestFolders() instead of
filesDir. Preserve the existing external-backups behavior and ensure retention
cannot affect unrelated app files.

In `@app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/utils/ErrorActivity.kt`:
- Line 81: Update ErrorActivity.onCreate so the synchronous backupDatabaseFiles
call runs on Dispatchers.IO rather than the main thread, and update the folder
link only after the background copy completes.
- Around line 264-275: In the exportException failure branch of the launch
coroutine, delete the selected SAF document represented by uri before showing
the error dialog and returning. Update the flow around exportRawDatabase() and
showErrorDialog so cleanup occurs despite exceptionHandler not running.

  • This closes the database but leaves it in the global instance, so every subsequent getDatabase() returns a closed handle until an asynchronous postInstance() happens. This is already deterministic in the changed biometric flows (clearInstance() followed by copyDatabase(), which checkpoints getDatabase().value) and in crash re-import (clearInstance() followed by importRawDatabase()), causing those operations to fail. Replace the close/post gap with an atomic maintenance/replacement API that never exposes a closed instance.
        fun clearInstance() {
            this.instance?.value?.close()

  • Catching every Exception turns unrelated failures—including cancellation, database-wide corruption, converter bugs, and I/O failures—into a destructive per-note repair path that can ultimately delete the note below. This migration should only mutate/delete for the specific oversized-row exception it can safely diagnose; rethrow cancellation and corruption/unknown failures so user data remains intact.

Database lifecycle transitions currently reuse a closed singleton, breaking encryption changes and exposing race conditions.

  • This closes the singleton before copyDatabase() retrieves and checkpoints it. Because clearInstance() does not replace or null the LiveData, disabling biometric lock deterministically operates on a closed Room database and fails before decryption. Move the close after both copies are made.
            NotallyDatabase.clearInstance()
            val (_, dbFileCopy) = app.copyDatabase(decrypt = false, suffix = "-decrypt")
            val (_, dbFileBackup) = app.copyDatabase(decrypt = false, suffix = "-decrypt-backup")

Inline comments:
In @.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.yml:
- Line 31: Update the issue template description near the crash-log guidance to
mention only crash logs, explicitly warn reporters not to attach database dumps
because they may contain note contents, and provide the project’s established
private submission channel for files requiring review.

In `@app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/data/BackupOpenHelperFactory.kt`:
- Line 54: Update the corruption handling around backupDatabaseFiles() to invoke
delegate.onCorruption(db) regardless of whether the backup returns a path or
null. Keep the backup failure available in crash diagnostics while ensuring the
delegate handler always runs to recreate or recover the database.

In
`@app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/presentation/activity/main/fragment/settings/SettingsFragment.kt`:
- Line 935: Update ViewCrashes to distinguish external crash logs from the
private filesDir/crashes fallback: keep openExternalMediaFolder for external
logs, and route fallback files through the existing getUriForFile/viewFile
action. Add the corresponding files-path mapping for crashes in
provider_paths.xml.

In `@app/src/main/java/com/philkes/notallyx/utils/ErrorActivity.kt`:
- Around line 86-87: Update the coroutine flow around backupDatabaseFiles and
exportCrashLogs so database-backup exceptions are caught separately, logged, and
converted to a missing backup result; then always attempt exportCrashLogs even
when the backup fails. Keep the database dump and crash-log export as
independent best-effort operations.
