feat(mobile): a phone's build runs no other programs, and says so where GDAL, DuckDB and GeoLibre would appear (#1902) - #2018
Phase 1 of #1902: a build without the features that run external programs, which says so where they would appear.
Data (rustgis_data::RUNS_PROGRAMS): false on Android and iOS, as in the browser. external::program then finds no program, so GDAL's and DuckDB's availability checks are false without looking at the PATH of a phone. no_programs_here() names what runs RustGIS ("a phone", "the browser") for the messages.
Messages: a file read through GDAL (vector or raster) and a DuckDB database or query, refused on a phone, say that a phone can't run the program and what to do instead (convert it on a computer), not "install it". A File Geodatabase table only GDAL reads says the same.
Where they would appear in the desktop interface on a phone: the SQL pane says why it can't query; the Geoprocessing pane shows a card in place of the GeoLibre tools (the app is built without the engine's geolibre feature, as before).
On the desktop nothing changes: RUNS_PROGRAMS is true there. The browser's messages for a GDAL format or a DuckDB database reached in it now say "a program the browser can't run" instead of "install it", which it can't be there either.
Add Data's Database… stays on a phone (review): its PostGIS, MySQL and SQL Server connections need no program; a DuckDB database chosen there is refused with the reason.
Testing
cargo test -p rustgis-data --lib where_programs: each of the three messages asks for an install where programs run, and says the phone can't run it, without asking for an install, where they don't.
Workspace clippy (-D warnings), cargo xtask layers, the wasm build and Android clippy (cargo ndk -t x86_64 clippy -p rustgis-mobile) pass. The full test suite was not run locally.
On the Android 15 emulator (x86_64): a site.dwg and a survey.duckdb pushed to the app's folder were each refused with the new reason; in the desktop interface, the Geoprocessing pane showed the GeoLibre card. (Command Search then showed Add Data From Database unavailable, the screenshot of it in the comment below; the review's fix, f259cc3, removed that gate, so on this head the row is available on a phone, and a DuckDB database chosen in it is refused with the reason.)
On phones, messages for unsupported GDAL and DuckDB files now explain that programs cannot run there and suggest converting the file or opening the project on a computer.
The SQL pane and GeoLibre tools now show clearer explanations when unavailable on phones.
Database connection options remain available on phones, with clearer guidance when DuckDB cannot be used.
Documentation
Clarified which tools and formats are unavailable on Android and iOS.
…re GDAL, DuckDB and GeoLibre would appear (#1902)
rustgis_data::RUNS_PROGRAMS is false on Android and iOS (as in the browser): no
program is looked for, and a format read through GDAL, a DuckDB database, the SQL
pane, Add Data's Database… row and the GeoLibre tools say a phone can't run their
program instead of asking for an install.
The changes define program availability by target and use that capability to adjust external program lookup, GDAL and DuckDB error messages, and mobile UI messages. The mobile README documents the Android and iOS behavior.
Changes: Program availability by target
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Target capability and data access crates/data/src/lib.rs, crates/data/src/source/external.rs, crates/data/src/raster/gdal.rs, crates/data/src/source/gdal.rs, crates/data/src/source/duckdb.rs
RUNS_PROGRAMS is false on wasm32, Android, and iOS. External program lookup returns None on those targets. Missing GDAL and DuckDB errors provide installation guidance when programs can run, and target-specific guidance when they cannot. Tests cover the message variants.
Mobile engine and UI behavior crates/engine/src/cmd/layer.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/panes.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/sqlpane.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/ribbon.rs, apps/rustgis-mobile/README.md
The engine’s unread-table notice distinguishes whether programs can run. The UI displays phone-specific explanations for GeoLibre and DuckDB restrictions. The Database row remains available for other database connections. The README describes these behaviors and the mobile build settings.
On a phone, searching for a GeoLibre tool shows no explanation of why the tool is missing. The rest of the change keeps GDAL and DuckDB checks off the phone's PATH and gives clear phone-specific messages. This is a small UI gap that can be fixed in a follow-up without blocking merge.

Explanation
The title names the main change: a phone build (Android and iOS) runs no external programs and explains the limit where GDAL, DuckDB and GeoLibre would appear. The raw summary confirms this: RUNS_PROGRAMS is false on Android and iOS, the messages change, and the GeoLibre card appears. The title is specific and matches the changeset and objectives. Its length (118 characters) is long, but it is still one sentence.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the repository template: it has Summary, Testing, and Related issue sections. The Summary explains what changed and why, and it links the work to Phase 1 of #1902. The Testing section lists a targeted test command, the checks that pass, the emulator verification, and that the full test suite was not run. The Related issue section says 'Part of #1902'. The UI evidence section is missing. The PR changes visible UI (the SQL pane, the Geoprocessing pane GeoLibre card, the Add Data menu, and Command Search entries), so the template requires before and after screenshots. The description refers to screenshots only in a comment, not in the description. The UI evidence heading and its content do not appear in the description.
Resolution
Add the 'UI evidence' section. The PR changes visible UI, so the section needs screenshots. Attach before and after images of the changed UI, or at least after images for the new GeoLibre card and the SQL pane phone message. Attach the images to the description itself, not only to a comment. The Testing section also says that a fix commit (f259cc3) changed the Add Data From Database gate, so the Testing section should state the current behavior clearly. Remove the parenthetical about the earlier unavailable state so that the description matches the final head.

A rabbit checks the phone-bound map, And finds which tools can run the app. When GDAL waits beyond the gate, Clear words explain the tools’ state. The rabbit hops to desktops’ glow, With routes and notes for what won’t go.
On the Android 15 emulator (x86_64), from this branch's APK. Left: a site.dwg and a survey.duckdb pushed to the app's folder, each refused with the phone's reason instead of "install it". Middle: the desktop interface's Geoprocessing pane, with the card that stands for the GeoLibre tools. Right: Command Search, where Add Data From Database is unavailable.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Nit, grouped with the other quality points: missing_text is copied in source/gdal.rs, raster/gdal.rs and source/duckdb.rs, and each module has a test with the same name (where_programs_cant_run_the_message_says_so_instead_of_asking_for_an_install). The three messages differ only in their install and convert wording. A single helper taking those two strings would remove the copies. The phone branches in chrome.rs (search_platform_disabled), ribbon.rs, sqlpane.rs and the GeoLibre card have no test at all. Passing runs_programs in as a parameter to search_platform_disabled would make its phone branch testable.
Findings are ranked by severity. I posted the first two as inline comments on crates/data/src/source/gdal.rs.
Bugs
No correctness bugs found. Phone gating is consistent across the data layer, engine notices, ribbon, Command Search, SQL pane and Geoprocessing card. The disabled Database row does show its hover reason, because row_button uses add_enabled(on, …). Confidence: high.
Security
None found.
Performance
None found.
Quality
Browser wording changes despite the PR description. RUNS_PROGRAMS is false on wasm, so the browser's GDAL message moves from "install it" to "a program the browser can't run". The new text is arguably better, but "nothing changes in the browser" is wrong as written. Confidence: about 70%. Posted inline at crates/data/src/source/gdal.rs:110.
missing_text is copied into three modules, with identical test names. Nit. Posted inline at crates/data/src/source/gdal.rs:115.
The phone branches in chrome.rs, ribbon.rs, sqlpane.rs, panes.rs and layer.rs are untested. Only the message strings are tested. search_platform_disabled could take runs_programs as a parameter to make its phone branch testable. Confidence: high.
AGENTS.md
No violations found. Checked: no unwrap/expect/unsafe; the phone messages say what can't run and what to do; new UI strings use tl!; the layer notice keeps its per-table count; no new dependencies.
The inline comment at :115 ends with <!-- quality-sweep -->, which I shouldn't have used. It is my own finding, not a reply to a review thread, so the marker doesn't belong there. I have no tool to edit the comment.
Prior concerns: none. prior-reviews.json has no threads, so I left 0 earlier concerns alone.

Keep the mobile notice visible during tool searches.
When a user searches for a GeoLibre tool, q is not empty, so this condition hides the new card. The user cannot see why the tool is missing or where to use it. Show the mobile notice in the search state too.

- Line 512: Update the RUNS_PROGRAMS gate in the ribbon flow so it does not hide
the add_database dialog on mobile; keep PostGIS, MySQL, MariaDB, and SQL Server
connections available, and restrict only DuckDB-backed operations. Apply the
same behavior to the matching gate in chrome.rs so Command Search retains access
to those native database connections.

PR description overstates the phone UI (inline on ribbon.rs:513). The description says Add Data's Database… row stays "unavailable, with the reason on hover" and that the Command Search row is unavailable with the reason. In this head neither happens. The menu item and Command Search both leave layer.addDatabase enabled on a phone, and no reason is shown. The behaviour itself looks right, since PostGIS/MySQL/SQL Server need no program and a .duckdb file is refused with the new message. Fix the description, or re-run the emulator check on f259cc3. Confidence about 80%; I did not run the app.
No other bugs found. I checked the browser path for the SQL pane (the wasm32 branch returns first), the GeoLibre card guard (excludes wasm), the external::program early return (only GDAL and DuckDB callers), and the layer.rs notice match-arm ordering.
Security
None found.
Performance
None found.
Quality
Already raised in the existing thread on source/gdal.rs, left for the release quality pass: missing_text and its test are copied across three modules, and the phone branches in chrome.rs, ribbon.rs, sqlpane.rs and the GeoLibre card have no test. I left this alone.
AGENTS.md
None found. The Never-crash, Never-silent and translatable-text rules hold for the new code. The data-crate messages are plain English, as the existing ones were.
Prior reviews
Two existing threads on this PR are relevant. I did not re-post either.
The ribbon.rs:512 thread (outdated) said the phone gate removed native database access. The current code has no such gate, so that concern is resolved.
The gdal.rs:110 thread (resolved) said the browser wording changed. The author has corrected the description.
I left 2 earlier concerns alone: the duplicated helper and the browser-wording point.
