ADFA-6510: Instant Wipe (self-destruct; circular-sweep wipes the workspace, neutralizes to the disguise)

[davidschachterADFA]

ADFA-6510

Instant Wipe: the self-destruct half of Instant Hide (ADFA-40), renamed. When armed, a single-finger circular sweep on any app surface irreversibly destroys the user's work and leaves the device showing the "Code Breaker" cryptogram game. Instant, no dialog, no undo.

Stacked on ADFA-40 (#2133). Based on feature/ADFA-40-instant-hide (it builds on that PR's :security module, not yet merged). Base will be retargeted to stage once #2133 merges. Do not merge before then.

What it does

• Armed via a separate Settings toggle (off by default) behind a blocking destructive warning; arming opens a safe gesture-practice overlay that never wipes.
• Trigger: a single-finger circle (>=330 deg, spanning >=70% of the screen width) on any surface -- IDE/editor, the disguise, and the terminal. The Settings screen is excluded so arming/practicing can't wipe.
• Wipe: cancel the build, stop Termux, close the project + the Recents DB, shred the source and DB files (fast-delete the bulk regenerable caches), reset bookkeeping, blank prefs, write .pip/.pip2 markers, show the disguise.
• Neutralization: a wiped install is permanently the disguise. Clearing app data to strip the markers (the tamper signature) neutralizes -- shows the disguise -- but does not re-wipe (see Decisions).

Review-by-commit

Core: PR1 engine + dry-run override - PR2 circle detector - PR3 arm toggle + practice overlay - PR4(1/2) orchestration - PR4(2/2) gesture wiring - PR5 tamper tripwire.
Review-driven fixes (surfaced by on-device testing): terminal SecurityController mount - tamper neutralize-only - splash-screen leak fix - Instant Hide gesture rehearsal.

Deliberate decisions / deviations

• No backup agent -- the app already sets allowBackup="false" (stronger than the mockup's armed-state agent, which would require re-enabling backup).
• Shred source, fast-delete bulk caches -- a single-pass overwrite is not a guaranteed erase on flash (device at-rest encryption is the real protection), and shredding GBs would defeat "instant". Strings say "delete", not "securely erase".
• Tamper neutralizes, does not re-wipe -- the signature (stealth alias + blank prefs + no marker) can't distinguish a prior Instant Wipe from a plain Instant Hide whose data was cleared, so re-wiping would risk destroying work never meant for it. Staying the disguise still defeats the tamper.
• Recents Room DB closed before shredding its files (real wipe only; skipped in dry-run) -- afterwards the IDE never runs again, so the closed cached instance is never touched.

ADFA-40 gaps closed here (folded in, flagged for ADFA-40 reviewers)

• Terminal coverage -- the Termux terminal sits outside EdgeToEdgeIDEActivity, so Instant Hide's triggers and FLAG_SECURE never reached it (and the terminal was screenshotable when armed). Mounting SecurityController on TerminalActivity brings hide + FLAG_SECURE + the wipe gesture there.
• Splash leak -- launching the hidden app flashed the real Code On The Go logo (the OS paints the splash from the activity theme before app code runs; all aliases targeted SplashActivity). A StealthSplashActivity with a logo-free splash now backs the stealth aliases.
• Hide rehearsal -- Instant Hide had no gesture practice; arming it now opens a two-step rehearsal (three-finger tap, then slow double three-finger tap).

Before GA (required)

Remove the /sdcard/Download/CodeOnTheGo.nowipe dry-run override -- it's dev/QA scaffolding (makes the wipe enumerate + log but delete nothing); a shipped .nowipe is a silent kill-switch defeat.

Verification

• Unit: circle geometry (8 cases), WipeManager enumeration + dry-run boundary, SecureShredder (incl. cache-dir skip), NeutralizationMarker.
• On device (SM-G781U): arm toggle + destructive dialog + wipe practice overlay render; font scale 1.0/2.0 on the Security screen; terminal FLAG_SECURE (0-byte capture when armed) + a 60s-inactivity hide fired from the terminal; a tamper-triggered dry-run deleted nothing (a canary file survived); the live gesture -> wipe dry-run was confirmed by a human tester -- performed as expected.
• Known test gaps: AppWipeService teardown and the practice overlays/activities aren't unit-tested; the no-logo splash and the hide-rehearsal launch are confirmed visually (adb can't capture the ~200ms splash or inject multi-finger gestures).

📝 Summary

• Added optional Instant Wipe. It is off by default and requires users to confirm a warning and complete gesture practice before arming it.
• When enabled, a single-finger circular sweep can trigger a wipe from supported app surfaces. Settings is excluded.
• The wipe flow cancels builds, stops Termux, releases project state, deletes selected workspace and Recents data, removes regenerable caches, resets security preferences, and writes neutralization markers.
• Added wipe-state and tamper checks. The app routes marked or detected installs to the Code Breaker disguise without repeating the wipe.
• Added a stealth splash route for stealth launcher aliases, plus Instant Hide gesture practice.
• Added security-module interfaces, wipe orchestration, gesture detection, and unit tests for gesture geometry, file deletion, wipe planning, and neutralization markers.

Risks and limitations

• File overwrite is best-effort and cannot guarantee physical erasure on flash storage.
• The debug dry-run override uses /sdcard/Download/CodeOnTheGo.nowipe; remove it before general availability.
• The supplied information reports that AppWipeService teardown and practice overlays and activities lack unit-test coverage.
• The supplied information does not establish CI test results or review severity counts.

The change adds Instant Wipe preferences, gesture detection, wipe execution, and neutralization routing. It also adds practice activities for Instant Wipe and Instant Hide, and integrates security gesture handling into TerminalActivity.

Block the exit gesture for markerless tamper signatures.

A stealth launcher alias enters StealthSplashActivity, which forwards directly to CryptogramActivity. The slow double three-finger tap then calls exitDisguiseMode(). Because that method checks only isWiped, a markerless tampered install can disable all stealth aliases and enter the normal launcher flow.

+			NeutralizationMarker.isTampered(this, getString(ResR.string.stealth_app_name))

Write the neutralization markers before you clear the preferences.

clearPreferences() blanks instantHideEnabled, instantWipeEnabled, and isHiddenStateActive before any marker exists. The process can die in this window, for example when the user swipes the app away or the OS kills it. In that case no marker exists, and the preferences are blank. On the next launch, the app relies only on the tamper heuristic. If the alias swap failed (setStealthMode is wrapped in runCatching), the install opens the IDE. Write the markers first, because they are the durable signal of a wipe.
