Ports WinClose's SWI69 window control as an opt-in foreground service that is independent of ABRP: no token, no GPS, no upload cadence. The driver opening a door while the car is in P at a readable 0 km/h pulses UP at all four areas for five seconds, then STOP. Only the parts that serve that one behaviour are taken. WinClose's speed and time arming, configurable delay, warning beep, per-window modes and position reads are all absent — the target car is a Comfort trim whose motors carry no position sensor, so a close can be neither verified nor cancelled. The pulse, the door edge detector and the eligibility policy are pure classes with unit tests. STOP is attempted from a finally block on every exit, including an interrupted sleep, a refused write and a sender that throws, because a pulse that stops arriving leaves the motors wherever they were. Guards worth naming, several of them learned from reading WinClose rather than from the port itself: - A wake lock spans the pulse. This fires as the driver leaves, which is exactly when the head unit suspends; without it the glass can stop halfway with no STOP sent. - A fresh listener registration replays the door's current state. That replay seeds the edge detector instead of triggering it, or a binder reconnect while the door stands open would close the windows on someone halfway out. - WinClose's 60-second cooldown, so reaching back into the car does not run a second pulse. - The service stops itself on a non-SWI69 generation, and the switch is disabled unless the process holds system uid — only the unstable flavor declares android.uid.system, so a stable build could otherwise offer a toggle whose every command would fail. This is the project's first write to the vehicle. README, SECURITY, AGENTS, CONTRIBUTING and DISCLAIMER all claimed the app never writes; that claim is retracted and scoped rather than quietly left standing. Untested on a car. The feature is off by default. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

This app runs on a car. That single fact drives everything below.
|
|
|
|
## Ground rules
|
|
|
|
1. **Telemetry never writes to the vehicle.** The opt-in SWI69 WinClose integration is
|
|
the only write exception: four-window closing, gated on P and readable 0 km/h,
|
|
with a bounded pulse and STOP on completion, interruption or failure.
|
|
2. **A property that cannot be read is omitted, never defaulted.** Sending 0 for an
|
|
unreadable battery level tells ABRP the car is empty and corrupts the user's route
|
|
plan. Nullable in, absent from the payload.
|
|
3. **Fail closed on anything security-shaped.** Unknown update origin, mismatched
|
|
signature, unreadable state: refuse, do not guess.
|
|
4. **Say what you did not verify.** Most of this code can only be fully tested on a
|
|
vehicle. "Builds and unit tests pass, not tried on the car" is a perfectly good PR
|
|
note. Silence implying it was road-tested is not.
|
|
|
|
## Before opening a PR
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mise run check # permission gate + lint + unit tests
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or, without mise:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
bash .github/security/check-permissions.sh
|
|
./gradlew testStableDebugUnitTest testUnstableDebugUnitTest lintStableDebug
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
New behaviour needs a unit test. The pure-logic classes — `TelemetryPayload`,
|
|
`UploadCadence`, `UploadLog`, `OtaUpdater` — are deliberately free of Android types so
|
|
they can be tested on the JVM; put testable logic there rather than in the service.
|
|
|
|
## Permissions
|
|
|
|
Any new `uses-permission` fails CI until it is added to
|
|
`.github/security/permission-allowlist.txt` **with a justification comment**. This is
|
|
deliberate: an app on someone's car should not gain capabilities quietly.
|
|
|
|
## Channels
|
|
|
|
- `stable` — tagged releases, no self-update, no updater code in the APK.
|
|
- `unstable` — automated pre-releases that update themselves.
|
|
|
|
If you touch the updater, remember it installs code on a vehicle: the origin allowlist and
|
|
the signature check are the whole defence.
|
|
|
|
## Ways to help
|
|
|
|
Not every useful contribution is code:
|
|
|
|
- **Bug reports** — firmware generation, app version, what you did, what happened.
|
|
- **Feature requests** — describe the problem before the solution.
|
|
- **Documentation** — README, this guide, translations.
|
|
- **Pull requests** — see below.
|
|
- **Testing pre-releases** — install an `unstable` build and report what broke.
|
|
- **Sponsorship** — see below.
|
|
|
|
## Contributing efficiently
|
|
|
|
Maintainer time and AI quota are the scarce resources here, ideas are not. If you have
|
|
access to Claude Opus or another capable coding model, a finished pull request is worth
|
|
much more than a feature request: someone still has to design, write, test and verify the
|
|
request, and that someone has a limited quota too.
|
|
|
|
A pull request that lands quickly usually carries:
|
|
|
|
- The problem, in one or two sentences.
|
|
- The proposed solution, and what you rejected.
|
|
- The implementation, scoped to one concern.
|
|
- Tests — `mise run check` passes.
|
|
- Documentation updated: README, CHANGELOG, this guide where relevant.
|
|
|
|
Generate the change locally with whatever model you have, then read every line yourself
|
|
before opening the PR. You are the author, not the model. Unreviewed generated code on a
|
|
path that reaches the vehicle will be sent back.
|
|
|
|
## Sponsorship
|
|
|
|
Maintaining EVSuite costs development time, test hardware and AI usage. If it is useful in
|
|
your daily driving, consider sponsoring through
|
|
[GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/malys). Sponsorship covers those costs and
|
|
gets fixes and features out faster.
|
|
|
|
## Commit messages
|
|
|
|
Explain **why**, not what — the diff already says what. If you fixed something subtle,
|
|
say what the failure looked like, so the next person recognises it.
|
|
|
|
## Licensing
|
|
|
|
Read [`LICENSE.md`](LICENSE.md) first. The project's licence status is unresolved because
|
|
the upstream fork source has none. Contributions are accepted on the understanding that
|
|
they are offered under MIT once that is settled.
