Closes the three Android items of #902. It is stacked on #903 (the guard) and must merge after it.

What

  1. Immersive mode: delete src/android.zig and its root export. It now lives in labelle-android 0.3.0 (labelle-android#23), called from the generated main.zig (labelle-assembler#796).
  2. preview_shm: gate on target_features.has_posix_shm, a capability build.zig computes from the target. Bionic ships no shm_open/shm_unlink. This replaces the Android ABI check in src/.
  3. Storage: drop the Android platform and the engine's own ANativeActivity read.
    • The caller supplies platform_root (a mobile app's internal storage).
    • Precedence: LABELLE_DATA_DIR beats platform_root, which beats the OS user-data defaults.
    • storage.Default has no production caller today, so nothing changes at runtime.

The guard drops the four entries that are now clean: android.zig, preview_shm.zig, storage/data_root.zig and storage/files.zig. That takes it from 44 to 40 files.

Tests

  • zig build test against labelle-core main: 271/271 steps, 1484 tests.
  • preview_shm compiles for aarch64-linux-android (shm off), x86_64-linux-gnu and aarch64-macos.

Release order: do not release before the assembler

Release this only after labelle-assembler#796 ships and Flying Platform runs on it with labelle-android 0.3.0, accepted on the SM-T505. With an older assembler, immersive projects would fail to compile, because the generated code calls engine.android.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change replaces Android-specific storage and shared-memory handling with caller-supplied storage roots and a generated target capability. It removes the Android runtime helper module and adds a source-tree guard for platform-specific names.

Changes

Platform Portability

Layer / File(s) Summary
Caller-supplied storage roots
src/storage/data_root.zig, src/storage/default.zig, test/storage_test.zig, docs/persistent-blobs.md, src/storage/files.zig
Storage resolution accepts an optional platform_root and applies it after an absolute override. Android activity-path resolution is removed. Tests and documentation describe the updated behavior.
Target-specific shared-memory capability
build.zig, src/preview_shm.zig
The build supplies has_posix_shm to the engine and benchmark modules. Shared-memory operations use this capability to select their unavailable fallback.
Android runtime helper removal
src/android.zig, src/root.zig
The Android runtime helper module and its public root alias are removed.
Platform-agnosticism guard
test/agnostic_guard_test.zig, build.zig
A source-tree test checks configured platform-specific names in source paths and contents, and validates allowlist and symlink handling. The build runs it with test and exposes test-guard.

P2 Badge Update the shipped contract for platform_root

When a mobile caller follows docs/persistent-blobs.md, it is still told that Default reads the Android native activity path automatically, even though this change removes that behavior and requires the caller to populate options.platform_root. Because this field defaults to null, such code still compiles but Android initialization can now fall through to HOME or return Unavailable, potentially misplacing or disabling saves; update the shipped documentation to describe the new input and precedence.

Accept a supplied root on iOS.

If an iOS caller supplies an absolute platform_root, this switch returns error.Unavailable before Default.init examines the root. The new mobile-root option therefore cannot provide native storage on iOS. Allow a POSIX mobile target to use a supplied root, while keeping unsupported OS defaults unavailable. Zig treats iOS as a separate OS tag. (github.com)

1. Immersive mode: delete src/android.zig and its root export. It now
   lives in labelle-android 0.3.0 (`immersive`), which the generated
   main.zig calls since the matching assembler change.
2. preview_shm: gate on a `target_features.has_posix_shm` capability the
   build computes from the target (Bionic has no shm_open/shm_unlink),
   instead of an Android ABI check in src/.
3. Storage: drop the Android platform and the engine's own
   ANativeActivity read. The caller supplies `platform_root` (a mobile
   app's internal storage). It wins over the OS user-data defaults, and
   only LABELLE_DATA_DIR wins over it. storage.Default has no production
   caller today, so nothing changes at runtime.

The agnostic guard drops four entries that are now clean (android.zig,
preview_shm.zig, storage/data_root.zig, storage/files.zig), from 44 to 40.

Must not be released before the assembler that calls labelle-android's
immersive service, or immersive projects fail to compile.
The engine no longer reads the Android activity's internal data path, so
the caller supplies it as options.platform_root. Document the new input,
where it sits in the resolution order, and what happens without it.

P2 Badge Pass target_features to direct engine compilations

When tools/hook_trace_cost.sh runs, both build_probe and the step-4 MODS array construct the engine directly with -Mengine=.../src/root.zig but do not declare or pass a target_features module. The probe instantiates Game, whose preview field reaches Preview and preview_shm.Producer, so this new import is analyzed and Zig reports that no module named target_features is available; update those direct build commands (or route them through the configured build module) so the repository's tracing benchmark remains runnable.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

…e bench

- storage.Default returned Unavailable on an OS with no user-data default
  (iOS, say) before looking at a supplied platform_root. A supplied root
  now works there too, checked with POSIX path rules.
- tools/hook_trace_cost.sh compiles the engine directly, so it has to
  declare the new target_features module (host: has_posix_shm = true).
  The script still fails further on with a missing `animation` module,
  which predates this change and is out of scope here.

P2 Badge Honor the environment override on unsupported OSes

On targets outside Windows, macOS, and Linux (such as iOS/tvOS), initialization returns Unavailable here whenever platform_root is null, before reading LABELLE_DATA_DIR. This breaks the documented precedence where an absolute environment override is sufficient and should win over every other root source; select the POSIX fallback when either an override or platform_root is present, or read the override before this switch.

Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

On an OS with no user-data default, Default.init returned Unavailable
unless a platform_root was supplied, so it never reached the environment
override that is documented to win over every other root. Take the POSIX
path when either one is present.

SM-T505 immersive test: PASS (3/3)

This is the tablet run owed from the Trello card (the P42 already passed 3/3).

Build:

  • FP main f4688871 (labelle-android 0.3.0, assembler 0.121.0) with the engine overridden locally to this PR's head b3f07b9
  • ASTC atlases unchanged, ReleaseFast
  • clean install (uninstall + install)

Device: SM-T505, Android 12. Measured with dumpsys window (InsetsSource type=ITYPE_*_BAR … visible=) plus the current focus:

Step Status bar Navigation bar Focus
1. At launch hidden hidden FP NativeActivity
2a. Notification shade pulled down shown (expected) shown (expected) NotificationShade
2b. Shade collapsed hidden again hidden again FP
3a. HOME (launcher on top) shown (expected) shown (expected) launcher
3b. Back in the game (same pid 21486, a real resume) hidden hidden FP
  • Log: immersive: system bars hidden (WindowInsetsController, sticky) at launch and again at each focus return (3×).
  • Storage: data root: /data/user/0/com.labelle.flying_platform/files (source: android internalDataPath).
  • Screen and stability: the menu renders full-screen with no bars (device language pt-BR), with 0 fatal signals.

Tested by Claude on the owner's tablet.
