Paul HittandClaude Opus 5 7bd836636b The level picker explains itself, as it does on iOS
This screen showed chips and no explanation; iOS has carried one all along,
under a comment claiming both apps use the same words. They now do.

The last sentence is the boundary: a level decides who can open a file, not
where it can be put. Neither app stops somebody filing sensitive material
somewhere low, and saying so is the honest half of android#15.

Also repairs a comment the emoji sweep truncated, which left the test
saying 'the -property is NOT enforced'.

Paul HittandClaude Fable 5.1 2fa430f21c API-style comments and ktlint formatting
Every comment is reduced to its first sentence plus @param, @return
and @throws tags. Comment lines: 20040 to 8526. ktlint 1.8 applied
with its default (official Kotlin) style across all modules; 262 files
reformatted. The 264 remaining ktlint findings are naming and filename
rules, which are code changes, and are left alone.

Comments and formatting only. 1208 tests pass, counted from the XML.

Paul HittandClaude Fable 5.1 8a7f40fb13 Second pass with the avoid-ai-writing detector
The skill's detector scored the README, PARITY.md and the extracted
comment prose. Fixed what it flagged: hollow intensifiers, "in order
to", "additionally", "the whole point", bold sentences in docs, and
bold that had wrapped across comment lines. Comment prose scores a
maximum of 4 out of 100 across the repo.

One sweep rule mangled four comments ("which is the entire point of X"
lost its clause); repaired, and the rule now keeps the clause.

Comments and strings only. 1208 tests pass, counted from the XML.

Paul HittandClaude Fable 5.1 4dd544083c Remove machine-writing tells from comments and docs
Emoji markers, markdown bold inside code comments, and em-dashes are
gone from source comments, string literals, scripts, Gradle files and
the markdown docs. Counted before and after:

  emoji markers   2680 -> 1 (the emoji picker's own list, which is the feature)
  em-dashes       2490 -> 9 (table placeholders and fenced code)

Two warning glyphs in user-facing strings in ChatScreens.kt are removed
as well; the sentences say the same thing without them. Two backtick
test names carried an em-dash and now carry a comma.

Nothing else changed. 1208 tests pass, counted from the result XML.
The three obfs4 interop tests are opted out with OBFS4_INTEROP_OPTOUT=1
for this run, as their own message instructs when no bridge is set up.

CONTRIBUTING gets a four-line rule so it does not grow back.

Paul HittandClaude Opus 5 6a0dce6d4e The Files security lattice in Kotlin (labels, clearance)
`Label` and `Clearance`: the two-dimensional lattice Files is built on, and the
ten-byte encoding that is authenticated data for every construction using it.

🔴 The encoding vectors were computed independently, not read off this
implementation. A label that encodes differently on two platforms does not warn
— it produces a decryption failure, or plaintext that quietly belongs to the
wrong sensitivity. A vector taken from the code under test would pin whatever
the code happens to do.

🔴 Two dimensions, and the tests are shaped around the failure that READS AS
WORKING: an implementation comparing classification and forgetting compartments
behaves correctly on every test built from levels alone, right up until
somebody sees a compartment they are not in. Domination needs a superset of
areas, not an overlap; two labels can be incomparable in both directions.

⚠️ Bit 63 is the sign bit of a Long. Building the mask with an Int shift loses
it, and the compartment that vanishes is the one nobody notices until somebody
sees a file they are not cleared for. Pinned, along with the all-ones case where
a sign-extension mistake still produces plausible-looking bytes.

🔴 **A finding, and a divergence I deliberately did NOT create.** Files
implements the simple security property (no read up) and NOT the ★-property (no
write down) — on either client. iOS gates `ensureLabelKey` and `use` on
`clearance.permits` and nothing else, so Kotlin's `mayWrite` calls the same
check, with a comment saying why and a test asserting the current behaviour that
will fail loudly the day it changes.

Implementing it on Android alone would mean a file that saves on one phone and
is refused on the other, with neither person able to tell which rule they had
met — worse than the gap, because an apparent bug gets worked around. Filed as
android#15 / ios#65 with the trade written out: no-write-down is the half a
lattice actually exists for, and it is also the half that is awkward enough to
need a stated downgrade path rather than a bare refusal. It interacts with
sharing a file into a chat — a write to a place with no label at all — so it
needs an answer before that ships.

16 tests. App builds, every JVM suite green.
