Implements M2 of docs/android/PLAN.md §6.2 (functional pass): the public shard surface over /api/v1/public/shard/*, plus the live SSE feed with reconnect/backoff and graceful degradation (§7). - Shard DTOs (status/economy/feed/online/presence/champs/guilds/governors/ houses) mirroring public/shard.controller.js; ignoreUnknownKeys keeps additive backend fields safe, and the live *.update frames decode into the same board DTOs. - PublicApi: the /public/shard/* GETs (status, feed, economy, online, presence, champs, guilds, governors + history, houses). - ShardStreamClient: OkHttp SSE over /public/shard/stream. Unlike the browser EventSource it reconnects itself — a cold Flow<ShardStreamEvent> with growing backoff (reset on open), no read timeout for the idle keepalive, and clean teardown on cancel so a dropped feed degrades to "offline". - ShardRepository: typed ApiResult snapshot reads + the shared live feed and frame decoders. - Screens: a Shard hub (status/online count/economy/presence/staff + live activity feed with a live indicator) linking to live boards for champion spawns, guilds, governors (+ on-demand term history) and falling houses (IDOC). Boards seed from a snapshot then merge SSE deltas in place via a reusable LiveBoard, mirroring the website's merge semantics. Wired into the shared navigation drawer (§5); all strings externalized (§2). - Tests (28): DTO/frame decode, LiveBoard merge, event-text formatting, and SSE frame parsing.

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".
