null a12d8e5c49 fix: give every settings page a way out
Reported: "on the settings page, if you go to app lock you can't
unnavigate out of it." Two causes, both real.

The bottom nav saved and restored per-tab back stacks. From App lock,
tapping the Settings tab popped [settings, settings/lock], saved it, and
restored it in the same breath -- landing back on App lock. The saved
stack survived visiting other tabs, so the Settings tab stayed pinned to
App lock for the rest of the process. The KDoc above the NavHost claimed
the opposite.

And no screen in the app had a back arrow. A grep for TopAppBar,
navigationIcon, BackHandler and popBackStack across app/, core/ and
domain/ returned nothing at all. App lock had a headline styled like a
bar without being one, so the affordance a user reaches for was a label,
and after setting a PIN the only button on screen -- "Done" -- cleared a
message and navigated nowhere.

Settings is now a nested graph. Its children are inside the tab's
hierarchy, so the tab renders as selected on App lock rather than looking
unselected and inviting the tap that trapped you; and re-tapping the tab
you are already on pops to its root, which is the gesture people reach
for. Leaving Settings pops without saving, so there is nothing to
restore. Today, Calendar and Insights keep their place exactly as before.

One SettingsSubpage component carries the bar for all three children.
Three copies would drift -- one would get the ellipsis for long titles at
font scale 2.0 and the others would wrap mid-word, which is a defect the
tab labels already shipped once.

App lock's steps are remembered state, not destinations, so its back is
step-aware: inside a step the arrow and the system gesture both return to
the overview, and at the overview the handler is disabled so the gesture
falls through and pops the destination, exactly as the arrow does. Two
controls a hand's width apart now do the same thing.

ExportHost moves into the Scaffold's topBar. It was a sibling emitted
BEFORE the Scaffold inside PeriodTheme's Surface -- a Box, where later
siblings draw over earlier ones -- so an opaque Scaffold was painted on
top of it. It has almost certainly never been visible to anyone.

Compose UI tests run on the JVM under Robolectric; nothing in this project
could assert a navigation behaviour before. Proved with prove-guard, one
red each: unwiring the arrow, and removing the step-aware BackHandler.

Verified on the emulator: from App lock, tapping Settings now lands on the
settings tree, the Settings tab is highlighted while on a child, and the
arrow returns.

closes #61

README.md

Privacy: Period Tracker

Status: Draft
Owner: _null
Last reviewed: 2026-08-20
Governs: README.md as the project-facing overview for Privacy: Period Tracker
Review trigger: The first buildable feature release; any change to the stack, the
                privacy promise, or how the project is built and run

A private Android period tracker that learns your cycle rather than the average person's — and never sells your data.

What it is | Status | Build and run | Repository map | Project docs | Agent notes

{ Android / Google Play | Kotlin + Jetpack Compose | Room, offline-first | Personalized prediction with an honest window | Discreet notifications | No account, no server, no data sale }

The core loop is:

Track → Learn → Predict → Remind → Learn again

What it is

A focused tracker that answers one question well: when is my next period likely to start? It records confirmed period dates, learns the individual's pattern from them, and produces a most-likely date with a window and a confidence label — never a bare date presented as fact. From that it estimates ovulation and the fertile window, and it asks discreetly whether the period started, using both yes and not yet to improve the next forecast.

Two promises hold the product up:

Your period. Better predicted. — once there is enough personal history, the app must not fall back to a generic 28-day cycle. A user recording 34, 35, 36, 34, 35 who is predicted 28 is a core product defect, not a tuning issue.

Your cycle belongs to you. We will never sell period history, fertility information, ovulation estimates, cycle predictions or personally identifiable information — to advertisers, data brokers or anyone else.

The second is held structurally rather than remembered, and the rule was written before the code it constrains: checkModuleBoundaries in the root build.gradle.kts already carries ":core:ads" to emptySet(), so when the ads module arrives in Batch 07 it may declare no project dependency at all — stricter than "nothing from the cycle database or the prediction domain". It is not in settings.gradle.kts yet, so today the rule matches no module, which is why the guard is proved against injected violations rather than trusted.

What it deliberately is not — no community, no pregnancy mode, no chatbot, no article feed, no symptom encyclopedia, and not contraception — is in docs/planning/PROJECT_PLAN.md.

Status

Foundation through Batch 06 are closed, Batch 08 polish is complete, and monetization (Batch 07) remains unbuilt. Every row below cites the file or test that proves it.

Surface Status Evidence
Documentation tree and tracker convention Adopted this tree; milestones and issues in the tracker
Gradle / Kotlin / Compose project Builds ./gradlew assembleDebug and assembleRelease both pass
Material 3 theme and tokens Built core/designsystem
Four-tab navigation shell Built app/src/main/kotlin/dev/privacyllc/period/navigation/PeriodApp.kt — Today, Calendar, Insights, Settings, each wired to its real screen
Cycle model and interval derivation Built domain/cycle (13 tests); domain/prediction/src/main/kotlin/dev/privacyllc/period/domain/prediction/IntervalAnalysis.kt (12 tests)
Prediction engine Built — personalized PersonalPredictionEngine, wired in app/src/main/kotlin/dev/privacyllc/period/di/DataModule.kt; the 12 acceptance tests from PRODUCT_PLAN §51 run against both engines (PersonalAcceptanceTest, BaselineAcceptanceTest), and EngineComparisonTest scores the personal engine against the retained baseline every build
Room persistence, DataStore Built core/database (schema v1 exported, SchemaTest + scripts/schema-guard.sh), core/datastore, core/data
Onboarding, Today, Calendar, Insights Built app/src/main/kotlin/dev/privacyllc/period/feature/ — onboarding, today, calendar, insights; OnboardingViewModelTest, TodayViewModelTest, TodayUiStateTest
Fertility window and ovulation estimate Built domain/prediction/src/main/kotlin/dev/privacyllc/period/domain/prediction/FertilityEstimate.kt, 11 tests; shown on Today and Calendar
Discreet notifications Built core/notifications (24 JVM tests), instrumented NotificationPrivacyTest
App lock (PIN + fingerprint) Built core/security (Keystore-backed verifier, lockout policy), app/src/main/kotlin/dev/privacyllc/period/lock gate; 28 JVM tests plus KeystoreVerifierTest run on PeriodMinSdk26 and PeriodQA
Discreet launcher alias Built app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml aliases; LauncherAliasSwitcherTest, PrivacyViewModelTest; device checked on emulator-5554
Export My Data Built core/export (format pinned byte-for-byte against core/export/src/test/resources/golden-v1.json), written through the Storage Access Framework by app/src/main/kotlin/dev/privacyllc/period/feature/export
Monetization Not built Batch 07
QA Round 3 run, partial docs/qa/ClaudeReport.md — partial at 0451fbe; TalkBack, text scaling, minSdk and a real locked screen still unreached

BaselinePredictionEngine is still in the tree, but it stopped being the product in Batch 02. DataModule provides PersonalPredictionEngine — the recency-weighted, trend-aware, "not yet"-conditioned engine PRODUCT_PLAN §12 specifies — and the baseline is now the control: EngineComparisonTest scores both over the §51 fixtures every build, so "the new engine is better" is a number rather than an opinion.

Build and run

Prerequisites: a JDK 21 and the Android SDK with platform 37 and build-tools 37.0.0 installed, ANDROID_HOME set.

git config core.hooksPath .githooks   # per clone, every clone — see below

./gradlew test                        # JVM suites, no emulator, ~1s
./gradlew assembleDebug               # app/build/outputs/apk/debug/
./gradlew assembleRelease             # minified, unsigned

compileSdk is 37 because the current AndroidX libraries require it; targetSdk is 36, Google Play's floor for new apps from 2026-08-31. They are deliberately different — raising targetSdk opts the app into runtime behaviour changes and is a tested decision, not a build fix.

git config core.hooksPath .githooks is per clone. Without it the hooks are not installed and fail silently, which is the failure mode they exist to prevent. post-commit pushes; see docs/architecture/githooks/README.md.

Repository map

app/                     application module, MainActivity, navigation shell, DI
core/designsystem/       Material 3 theme and colour tokens
core/database/           Room entities, DAOs, converters, the exported schema
core/datastore/          user preferences that are not health history
core/data/               CycleRepository — the only module that touches a DAO
core/notifications/      reminder copy, privacy modes, WorkManager scheduling
domain/cycle/            pure Kotlin — period records, cycle derivation
domain/prediction/       pure Kotlin — the forecast, window and confidence
scripts/                 six from the template, plus schema-guard.sh, our own
.githooks/               pre-commit, commit-msg, post-commit
docs/                    product, architecture, design, brand, QA, security, history

domain/* are kotlin("jvm") modules and cannot see the Android SDK. That is on purpose: the prediction engine is the product, so it needs the most tests, and tests that need an emulator are tests that do not get run.

Project docs

Detailed procedures belong in docs; open work belongs in the tracker, not in this README.

Doc Purpose
docs/DOC_TRUST_MAP.md Which document owns which answer, and which source wins when records disagree. Read this first.
docs/planning/PRODUCT_PLAN.md The full V1 specification — prediction requirements, screens, copy, compliance
docs/planning/PROJECT_PLAN.md The short vision, the stack and its reasons, and what this is deliberately not
docs/WORK_CYCLE.md What happens at the end of a piece of work
docs/architecture/README.md Modules, boundaries, data shapes, migrations
docs/design/README.md Tone, and the four rules that settle design arguments
docs/security/SECURITY.md Threat model, the advertising boundary, logging rules
docs/TOOLS.md Which script to run, and which ones can stop you

Where the tracker is

Milestones are batches, issues are deliverables, and severity labels are exactly P0, P1, P2 and release-blocker. Credentials come from the environment, never from this repository:

set -a; . ~/.openclaw/docker-registry.env; set +a
python3 scripts/forgejo-issue.py list

Two traps that cost an hour each otherwise: Cloudflare 1010-blocks clients that do not look like a browser or curl, so every request needs User-Agent: curl/8.5.0forgejo-issue.py sends it and anything new must too. And /issues returns pull requests unless type=issues is passed.

Agent notes

  • Product truth comes from the code and the tracker before prose.
  • Do not keep a work list in this README or anywhere else in docs/.
  • Finish with docs/WORK_CYCLE.md, every time: close what you finished with the evidence, close the milestone if the batch landed, update the documents the change triggered in the same commit, push, log the entry, then reconcile and write the summary and next action.
  • Nothing on privacyllc.dev writes itself except the tracker counts and the pushed docs.
  • Do not claim a feature is built unless you can cite the file, test or screenshot that proves it. The status table above is the standard.
  • Verify current stable versions before changing the toolchain. The ones in gradle/libs.versions.toml were checked against the official sources on 2026-08-18; PRODUCT_PLAN.md asks for that check rather than for its own numbers to be trusted.
  • Never put a cycle date, a prediction or a fertility state into a log, an analytics event, or an ad request.
