|
screen's data flow. Everything the app calls already exists and is merged; there is **no backend
|
||||||
|
work** in Part 2.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Part-1 contract the app codes against (verified against the merged `website` source):
|
||||||
|
- `POST /auth/me/devices` `{ transport?: 'unifiedpush'|'fcm', endpoint, platform? }` → `201 PushDevice`
|
||||||
|
`{ id, transport, endpoint, platform, createdAt, lastSeenAt }`. Idempotent per `(user, endpoint)`
|
||||||
|
(upsert). `endpoint` **must** be HTTPS on the shard's ntfy allow-set — a private/loopback or
|
||||||
|
off-allowlist origin is rejected `400` (the SSRF guard). Bearer-auth, so registration only happens
|
||||||
|
while signed in.
|
||||||
|
- `GET /auth/me/devices` → `PushDevice[]`; `DELETE /auth/me/devices/:id` → `{ ok: true }` (`404` if not
|
||||||
|
the caller's).
|
||||||
|
- `GET /auth/me/notifications/streams` → `{ streams: [{ id, label, description, personal,
|
||||||
|
requiresLinkedAccount }] }` — the eight-stream catalog (`news.post`, `server.status`,
|
||||||
|
`idoc.warning`, `champ.start`, `governor.election`; personal `vendor.sale`, `house.idoc`,
|
||||||
|
`account.login`). Render from this, don't hardcode.
|
||||||
|
- `GET /auth/me/notifications/subscriptions` → `{ streams: [id…] }`; `PUT` the same shape (full
|
||||||
|
replace; unknown ids dropped server-side; the stored set is echoed back).
|
||||||
|
- **The wire tickle** the device receives is the content-free `{ "stream": "<id>", "ref": "<opaque>" }`
|
||||||
|
JSON body (`utils/pushDispatch.js`). `ref` is a serial / city / timestamp hint — **never** content.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Work items:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. **Transport — the app is its own distributor; no second app (DECIDED).** The Runic Gateway app
|
||||||
|
**embeds its own UnifiedPush distributor**. The self-hosted **ntfy is only the relay server**, never
|
||||||
|
a user-installed app — the user installs *one* APK and it receives its own notifications, with no
|
||||||
|
external distributor (no ntfy app, no NextPush) and no Google Play Services. Concretely, the embedded
|
||||||
|
distributor holds a **persistent connection to the shard's ntfy** in a **foreground service**,
|
||||||
|
reusing the OkHttp reconnect/backoff pattern already built for `core/net/ShardStreamClient` (M2): it
|
||||||
|
subscribes to the app's own random, unguessable ntfy **topic** (over `wss://<ntfy-host>/<topic>/ws`
|
||||||
|
or the `/json` stream) and forwards each received `{stream,ref}` tickle to the app's receiver. The
|
||||||
|
**endpoint the app registers** with the backend (work item 5) is that topic's public URL
|
||||||
|
(`https://<ntfy-host>/<topic>`) — exactly the client-supplied `endpoint` the merged `POST
|
||||||
|
/auth/me/devices` contract expects and the URL the backend POSTs tickles to. Keep the transport
|
||||||
|
behind a small `PushTransport` seam so the **future Play/FCM build flavor** (§11, §M8) can swap the
|
||||||
|
embedded-ntfy distributor for FCM without touching registration, subscriptions, or notification code.
|
||||||
|
(Implementation detail to confirm: whether a maintained Google-free embedded UnifiedPush-distributor
|
||||||
|
library fits, or — more likely — a thin in-app distributor written directly over ntfy's subscribe API
|
||||||
|
reusing `ShardStreamClient`. Either way the distributor lives **inside this app**; the UnifiedPush
|
||||||
|
*receiver* abstraction is retained only to keep the FCM-flavor seam clean.)
|
||||||
|
- **Tradeoff, accepted:** instant background delivery requires a persistent foreground service with
|
||||||
|
an ongoing (low-importance) notification and its battery cost — this is exactly how ntfy's own app
|
||||||
|
does instant delivery, and it is the price of Google-free self-delivery. A future "battery saver"
|
||||||
|
option could fall back to periodic polling, but v1 ships the always-connected foreground service.
|
||||||
|
2. **Deps + manifest.** Add the UnifiedPush connector + the embedded-distributor transport (per #1) to
|
||||||
|
the version catalog; declare `POST_NOTIFICATIONS` (API 33+ runtime permission) **and
|
||||||
|
`FOREGROUND_SERVICE` + `FOREGROUND_SERVICE_DATA_SYNC`** (API 34+, for the persistent ntfy
|
||||||
|
connection); register the receiver and the foreground service in `AndroidManifest.xml`; define the
|
||||||
|
notification channels (id/name externalized, §2) — one for real notifications plus a low-importance
|
||||||
|
channel for the ongoing foreground-service notification — and reuse the "RG" notification icon
|
||||||
|
**already staged in M6**.
|
||||||
|
3. **`core/push` — embedded distributor + receiver.** The **distributor** component is a foreground
|
||||||
|
service that owns the ntfy connection (per #1): it (re)creates the app's topic, subscribes over
|
||||||
|
OkHttp with reconnect/backoff cloned from `ShardStreamClient`, and forwards each frame to the
|
||||||
|
receiver. The **receiver** parses the `{ stream, ref }` tickle (`kotlinx.serialization`; an
|
||||||
|
unknown/garbled body is dropped, not crashed — §7 discipline) and posts a notification (work item 7).
|
||||||
|
Endpoint (re)registration against the backend fires on first subscribe / topic (re)creation
|
||||||
|
(work item 5); a transient ntfy drop is just a reconnect, not a re-register.
|
||||||
|
4. **`DevicesApi` + `NotificationsApi` (Retrofit) + DTOs.** Hand-authored, spec-aligned (as recorded
|
||||||
|
for M1): `RegisterDeviceRequestDto`, `PushDeviceDto`, `NotificationStreamDto`,
|
||||||
|
`NotificationStreamsDto`, `NotificationSubscriptionsDto`. Both go through the existing bearer/refresh
|
||||||
|
stack (`AuthInterceptor` + `TokenAuthenticator`) and return the typed `ApiResult` (§7). A
|
||||||
|
`NotificationsRepository` owns register/list/delete-device and get/put streams+subscriptions.
|
||||||
|
5. **Endpoint ↔ backend lifecycle (mirror the M3 token teardown).** Persist the app's ntfy topic, its
|
||||||
|
endpoint URL, and the returned device `id` in prefs (DataStore; the topic/endpoint isn't a secret —
|
||||||
|
its security rests on being unguessable + the content-free tickle, §11). Start the embedded
|
||||||
|
distributor and `POST /auth/me/devices` **only when the user has ≥1 subscription and is signed in**.
|
||||||
|
On **logout / dead-refresh sign-out / Settings→Server switch**, `DELETE /auth/me/devices/:id`, **stop
|
||||||
|
the foreground service**, and drop the topic — wire this into `SessionManager` beside the existing
|
||||||
|
token-clear so a signed-out device stops receiving (§4.3, §11 "unregister on logout / token
|
||||||
|
revocation"). On a **server (base-URL) switch**, mint a fresh topic against the new shard's ntfy (the
|
||||||
|
old endpoint's origin won't be on the new host's allow-set). Re-assert the endpoint + restart the
|
||||||
|
service on app start when signed-in + subscribed. A `400` on register (endpoint origin off the
|
||||||
|
shard's `NTFY_ALLOWED_ORIGINS`) surfaces a clear "your shard's push relay isn't reachable" state, not
|
||||||
|
a crash.
|
||||||
|
6. **Notifications settings screen (`ui/notifications`).** Lists the catalog from
|
||||||
|
`GET …/streams` with a per-stream toggle bound to `GET/PUT …/subscriptions`; a **personal** stream
|
||||||
|
(`requiresLinkedAccount`) is greyed with a "link a game account" hint until the user has a linked
|
||||||
|
account — reuse the linked-accounts signal already fetched for M4's player surface
|
||||||
|
(`PlayerShardRepository`), not a fresh source of truth. Toggling to a non-empty set triggers the
|
||||||
|
register flow (#5) and requests `POST_NOTIFICATIONS`; emptying the set unregisters. Each mutation
|
||||||
|
folds its `ApiResult` into a section-scoped, localized banner (§7 parity with M4).
|
||||||
|
7. **Deep-links (resolves the §13 open item).** Tapping a notification opens the app to the stream's
|
||||||
|
home: `news.post`→News, `server.status`/`champ.start`/`idoc.warning`/`governor.election`→Shard,
|
||||||
|
`vendor.sale`→Vendors, `house.idoc`→My Houses, `account.login`→My Account. Routed through the
|
||||||
|
existing `ui/navigation/Routes.kt`; a signed-out/deep-link-to-player tap lands on the `PlayerGate`
|
||||||
|
(M4) rather than erroring. **v1 shows a generic per-stream notification** (localized catalog
|
||||||
|
`label`) and deep-links — it does **not** pull `ref` content first; the content-free design means
|
||||||
|
nothing needs decrypting to render the tap, and the target screen fetches fresh over the
|
||||||
|
authenticated API on open. (Pulling `ref` for a richer inline notification is a possible later
|
||||||
|
enhancement, not v1.)
|
||||||
|
8. **Menu.** Add a **Notifications** entry to the signed-in group in `ui/navigation/Menu.kt` (near My
|
||||||
|
Account), visible once signed in.
|
||||||
|
9. **Permission UX.** Request `POST_NOTIFICATIONS` at the moment the user first enables a stream (API
|
||||||
|
33+); on denial, keep the toggle off and show how to enable it in system settings — never nag on
|
||||||
|
launch.
|
||||||
|
10. **Tests (JVM, `testDebugUnitTest`).** DTO decode (device/stream/subscription), `{ stream, ref }`
|
||||||
|
tickle parse (incl. a malformed body → dropped), the stream→deep-link map, the "personal greyed
|
||||||
|
until linked" gate, and the register/unregister lifecycle over a fake `SessionManager` + repository
|
||||||
|
(parity with M3's session tests).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Cross-repo dependency to confirm before/at implementation** (a Part-1 §13 open item): the shard's
|
||||||
|
finalized **ntfy reverse-proxy hostname** must be in `NTFY_ALLOWED_ORIGINS`, because the distributor
|
||||||
|
hands the app an endpoint on *that* origin and the backend rejects a register whose origin isn't
|
||||||
|
allow-listed. This is deployment config, not code, but Part 2 can't be end-to-end tested until it's
|
||||||
|
pinned. No `website`/`link`/`servuo-plugins` code change is expected in Part 2.
