places objects and render them
`AtlasCreatureDto.places` was typed `List<String>` while the server sends
`{facet, label, spawners, maxAlive}` objects. The detail route answers 200 with
~49 KB, kotlinx throws on decode, and the screen renders "Something went wrong
on the server" — so the whole Atlas creature page was dead, and the error
blamed a server that was fine. Nullable-with-defaults protects against a
missing field, never a wrong element type.
Adds AtlasPlaceDto, plus the `art` field the server also sends, so a decode
cannot depend on that staying absent (neither client renders art yet).
`places` was never rendered either, so the aggregate the atlas exists to give —
"Shrines, Isamu-Jima, Yew", resolved server-side by point-in-rect — was missing
from the app while the web page led with it. Adds a "Where it spawns" section
above the individual spawners, matching web's ordering, and a plural for the
spawner count now that single-spawner places are on screen in bulk.
Adds ShardContentDtoTest — the first decode test any of the four Protocol 3.0
DTOs has had, fed payloads captured from a live server. That absence is the
root cause: the fakes in data/api/fake/ construct DTOs in Kotlin, so no test in
the suite could see a wire mismatch, even though PLAN.md §9 already required
"DTO decode for each new shape".
Also renders a placeholder row on an unscored leaderboard (the instance name,
em dash where a score goes) rather than a blank card — deliberately not shaped
like a real entry, since a placeholder that looked like a standing would be a
fabricated one.
Found by the on-device five-rung walk against a live shard; all four screens
re-verified on the emulator afterwards.

Runic Gateway — Android app
A native Android client for a Runic Gateway shard's public site + player self-service. It is
purely an API client of the website backend — it never talks to the link/ sidecar or the game
shard directly, and it ships none of the shard/sidecar wiring. It surfaces the same content and
player features as the website's browser client, minus every administrative/management console.
The authoritative design contract is docs/android/PLAN.md
in the RunicGateway/docs repo. The authoritative API reference is the committed OpenAPI spec at
website/server/swagger/swagger-output.json.
Status
M0 — repo scaffold. Gradle + Compose + Hilt skeleton with CI (lint + unit test + debug build). The functional Kotlin pass (M1–M4) and the design pass (M5) follow — see the plan's milestones (§9).
Stack
| Concern | Choice |
|---|---|
| Language / UI | Kotlin + Jetpack Compose (Material 3) |
| Navigation | Navigation-Compose, single-activity |
| HTTP | Retrofit + OkHttp, kotlinx.serialization |
| Async | Coroutines + Flow |
| DI | Hilt |
| Prefs / base URL | Jetpack DataStore |
| Tokens at rest | EncryptedSharedPreferences |
| Images | Coil |
| Min SDK | Android 10 (API 29) |
| Target / compile SDK | 35 |
Dependency and plugin versions are pinned in gradle/libs.versions.toml.
Build
Requires JDK 17 and the Android SDK (ANDROID_HOME / local.properties).
./gradlew assembleDebug # build a debug APK -> app/build/outputs/apk/debug/
./gradlew test # JVM unit tests
./gradlew lint # Android lint
./gradlew installDebug # install on a connected device/emulator
The app self-configures its server URL on first run (PLAN.md §3), so a single build works against any shard's website — there is no compiled-in API host.
CI
.gitea/workflows/pr-checks.yml gates PRs into main with ./gradlew lint test assembleDebug on the
org's self-hosted runner (JDK 17 + Android SDK). Debug builds are auto-signed, so the gate needs no
secrets. This pipeline is verified green end-to-end on the runner (M0). A signed release APK
attached to a Gitea release comes at M6.
The workflow carries a few runner-specific accommodations (each explained in comments in the file), because this self-hosted runner differs from a stock GitHub runner:
- JDK 17 is installed via
apt(notactions/setup-java) — the runner can't resolveapi.adoptium.net, while the Ubuntu mirrors are reachable. - SDK packages are installed explicitly via
sdkmanager, withset +o pipefailsoyesdying ofSIGPIPEdoesn't fail the step. gradlewischmod +x'd in the run step — the runner's checkout does not preserve the git executable bit, so./gradlewalone fails with "Permission denied".
