iris is the framework alone; the app is one crate in app-rust/

Iris: "the organization of the rust rewrite is a mess right now... there
shouldn't be anything related to the app inside of iris. Iris is supposed
to be the UI framework alone." And, on the crate count: "I'm confused why
the app only code needs more than one crate though."

Nine cargo workspaces become three, and the port's project code -- which
sat in five places, four of them inside the framework -- becomes one crate,
`ai-app`, in `app-rust/`:

  client-core                -> app-rust/src/client
  iris/transcript-ui         -> app-rust/src/ui
  iris/transcript-fixture    -> app-rust/src/ui/fixture.rs + tests/ + touch/
  iris/desktop-app           -> app-rust/src/desktop + src/bin_desktop.rs
  iris/android-app           -> app-rust/src/android + android-project/
  android-shell              -> app-rust/src/shell

iris/ keeps core, macro, the iris crate, tabs-ui and rig-input, and now
mentions no session, transcript, setup or server anywhere.

Only two of the old splits had a reason that survived reading. event-model
stays a crate at the repo root because server/ depends on it too, so a
crate is what makes the backend and the app agree by construction. The two
Android .so names looked like a hard constraint -- a package produces one
library artifact -- until P2 turned out to already plan merging those two
Android apps into one; both faces now come out of libai_app.so, picked
apart by features so `--no-default-features --features shell` keeps wgpu,
parley and iris out of the Compose app's APK. docs/RUST.md's "One app
crate" has the rest, including what each remaining feature is for.

DECISIONS.md and SUBAGENTS.md move into docs/ with everything else.

Verified: ./run-tests.sh and `cd iris && cargo test` green, clippy and fmt
clean in all five workspaces, `cargo ndk -t x86_64` links libai_app.so,
build-apk.sh produces an APK that installs and launches on this checkout's
emulator (Gl ... virgl, as expected), and the phone-sized headless
screenshot renders the transcript unchanged.

+ * Two paths:
+ *
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>{@code lines?since=<seq>} -- every held line with a sequence at or
+ *       after {@code since}, oldest first.
+ *   <li>{@code status} -- one row: how many lines are held, how many the

+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>Read-only: there is nothing here for anyone else to change, so the
+ * three writing methods throw rather than silently doing nothing.
+ *
+ * <p>The authority is {@code <applicationId>.devlog}, filled in from
+ * Gradle so the bench build and the ordinary one each get their own and
+ * neither can read the other's. Read access is guarded by
+ * {@code dev.updater.permission.READ_DEVLOG}, declared in the manifest.
+ *
+ * <p>No {@code notifyChange}: the ring is filled by a {@code log::Log}
+ * backend on whatever thread logged, and giving that a way to reach a
+ * provider would mean plumbing a callback through {@code client-core} for
+ * every platform. Dev Updater polls while its tab is open, which its

+# aapt2 verification) -- see docs/RUST.md's P0 box. Same shape as `app/
+# build-apk.sh` (the Compose app's own build script) and `app/
+# iris-scroll.sh` (no coordinates, set -eu, exit 0 on success).
+#
+# Usage: ./build-apk.sh [debug|release] [--abi arm64-v8a|x86_64] [--features "a b c"]
+#   debug/release default to debug (matches this-machine-android's "the
+#   emulator stays on debug" rule -- pass `release` explicitly for a phone
+#   build). --abi defaults to arm64-v8a (a phone/real device); pass
+#   x86_64 for this checkout's own AVD. --features defaults to
+#   "transcript-screen bench" -- deliberately *without* `force-gles`, and
+#   nothing should add it back for the emulator's sake.
+#
+#   **The emulator does not need a GLES build, because it has no hardware
+#   Vulkan to be steered away from** (docs/RUST.md, "What the emulator
+#   gives a GPU app", 2026-09-08): its guest's only Vulkan is SwiftShader
+#   in software, its GLES is the host's real GPU through virgl, and iris's
+#   own runtime fallback -- `Backends::PRIMARY`, no adapter, rebuild on
+#   `Backends::GL` -- takes an ordinary build there by itself. So the
+#   emulator and the phone run the *same binary* and differ only in what
+#   that binary finds, which is the whole point: a build flag that changed
+#   the backend would mean the thing measured here is not the thing
+#   shipped.
+#
+#   `force-gles` (`iris/Cargo.toml`'s own doc) pins the backend at compile
+#   time for a backend-isolation measurement (RUST.md's I5, "Where iris's
+#   frame time goes"), and the desktop is the better place to run it now
+#   (`run-headless.sh ... --features iris/force-gles`). It was never meant
+#   to reach a real device, but this script's old default put it in every
+#   arm64 build regardless, so the P0 bench APK delivered to Iris's phone
+#   forced GLES there too -- the named hypothesis in RUST.md's P0 box
+#   ("iris bench crash on the phone, 2026-09-06"). Never pass it for a

+//! The JNI half of `DevLogProvider`: reading this process's own log ring
+//! for a `ContentProvider` that Dev Updater queries.
+//!
+//! **Why**: Iris runs these builds on a phone with no `adb`, and Android
+//! forbids one app reading another's `logcat`, so nothing outside this
+//! process can recover what it wrote. The app already keeps a bounded copy
+//! (`crate::client::log_ring`); this is how the copy leaves the process. Dev
+//! Updater is on the same phone, so handing it over needs no tunnel, no
+//! token and no second enrolment -- and it is Dev Updater's own contract
+//! rather than something invented here, so any app it delivers can do the
+//! same (its `README.md`, "An app's own log").
+//!
+//! **Everything general stays in `client-core`** (AGENTS.md's sharing
+//! rule). What is here is only what Android forces: the JNI boundary and
+//! the Java class on the other side of it.
+//!
+//! Both entry points answer a **flat `String[]`** rather than a row of
+//! typed columns. That is the whole of the JNI, and it is one array type
+//! instead of three interleaved ones for a payload the provider is about
+//! to hand back over binder as a `MatrixCursor` anyway; `DevLogProvider`
+//! parses the two numeric fields. Kept flat rather than nested for the
+//! same reason -- an array of arrays is four more JNI calls per line.

+//! RUST.md's I5 Android integration: `transcript-ui`'s screen filling the
+//! whole window on android-view, against a real `ai-server` through
+//! `client-core` -- the missing half `iris-android-app` (I2) only had for
+//! `tabs-ui` until now. Behind the `transcript-screen` Cargo feature so the
+//! plain build (`cargo ndk build`, no `--features`) stays exactly the tabs
+//! demo I2/I4 already measured against.
+//!
+//! **Deliberate simplification, recorded rather than left to be
+//! rediscovered (RUST.md's I5 box has the full account)**: there is no
+//! session list here -- the first session `ApiClient::fetch_sessions`
+//! returns is opened automatically, since there is nothing to tap to get
+//! there, which is what `transcript-bench.sh` and `ui-trace` need to land
+//! straight on the screen under test.
+//!
+//! Which server it opens it against is no longer baked in: it is the
+//! enrollment an `aiapp://enroll` link left behind (`crate::android::enrollment`,
+//! and `desktop-app`'s identical `--link`), because an APK
+//! cross-compiled here cannot pin the CA of a server on the host.
+//!
+//! **Reuses `iris/desktop-app`'s `app.rs` shape almost exactly** --
+//! `fold_event`/`group_tool_runs`/`fold_page`/`raw_seq` from
+//! `crate::client::transcript_fold`, a `generation` counter guarding against
+//! a stale background response. What differs is only the redraw
+//! mechanism: android-view has no `winit::EventLoopProxy`, so this uses
+//! `iris::task::Tasks::redraw_handle` (new, added alongside this box) to
+//! request a frame after each `TaskCtx::update` instead of relying on
+//! `Tasks::spawn`'s single end-of-future redraw -- see that method's own
+//! doc for why.
+//!
+//! **Streaming no longer costs a full rebuild** (fixed after the P0 gate
+//! showed why it mattered -- 20 events/second means 20 rebuilds/second of
+//! a ~3,200-row transcript otherwise): `apply_event` calls
+//! `crate::ui::TranscriptScreen::apply` with the item list before and
+//! after `fold_event`, which updates only the row(s) that actually
+//! changed (almost always just the one open assistant message) instead of
+//! refolding and rebuilding every row. `rebuild_transcript` still runs
+//! the whole widget tree once, for the opening page and for `apply`'s own
+//! rare regroup fallback.

+//! One pass with a small state -- in a comment, in a string, or in ordinary
+//! code -- rather than a locator per token kind over the whole text, which
+//! is what the library this replaced did and is why it found comments
+//! before it knew the language: a `#` inside a shell string, a `//` inside
+//! a URL and a block-comment opener inside a shell glob each commented out
+//! the rest of a line that was nothing of the sort.
+//!
+//! Every span is produced by advancing an index forward, so the result is
+//! ordered, non-overlapping and inside the code by construction. Nothing
+//! here panics: an unterminated string or comment runs to the end of the
+//! code, which is also what it looks like while a fence is still being
+//! written.
+//!
+//! **Indices are char offsets, not byte offsets** -- the scanner works over
+//! `Vec<char>`, mirroring the Kotlin original's `Char`-indexed strings, so
+//! [`span_text`] is how a caller (and every test here) turns a [`Span`]
+//! back into the text it covers.

+//! The app's own recent log, held in memory so it can be read back
+//! without `logcat`.
+//!
+//! **Why this exists**: Iris tests iris builds on a GrapheneOS phone with
+//! no `adb`, and Android forbids one app reading another's logcat, so
+//! nothing outside the process can recover what it wrote. The only way a
+//! line reaches her is for the app to carry its own copy. This is that
+//! copy: a bounded ring every `log::info!` in the process lands in, on top
+//! of whichever platform logger was already installed (`android_logger`,
+//! `env_logger`) rather than instead of it -- see [`RingLogger`].
+//!
+//! Three consumers, all reading the same ring rather than each keeping
+//! their own: whatever hands the log out of the process -- on Android, the
+//! `DevLogProvider` Dev Updater queries, which reads [`LogRing::since`]
+//! and [`LogRing::newest_seq`] -- the bench app's diagnostics pane, which
+//! only counts it ([`LogRing::summary`]), and the panic hook
+//! ([`LogRing::try_tail_text`]). That is why reading does not consume: a
+//! line already handed over must still be readable, and a report taken
+//! twice must say the same thing.
+//!
+//! Nothing inlines the log into a copied report any more (2026-09-08):
+//! Dev Updater reads it directly, so a second copy on the clipboard was
+//! the same lines twice.

+//! Split a markdown message into its top-level **blocks** -- one
+//! paragraph, heading, fenced code block, list, table or quote each, as a
+//! byte slice of the original source.
+//!
+//! This exists for streaming. A transcript row used to be one text widget
+//! holding the whole message, so a single streamed delta re-shaped every
+//! paragraph of it through the text engine again; the phone's bench v2 put
+//! the stream phase at p50 18.2ms against Compose's 13.4ms for exactly
+//! that reason (docs/IRIS_TODO.md). A row is a column of one widget per
+//! block now, and a delta that lands in the last block leaves every
+//! earlier block's layout alone. `docs/DECISIONS.md`'s 2026-09-06 entry has
+//! what that rejected and why the split lives here rather than in the UI
+//! crate: `docs/CLIENT_CORE.md` already wanted a block model for P1, and
+//! keeping it here means iris stays a text renderer that knows nothing
+//! about markdown.
+//!
+//! **Blocks only.** Inline styling (bold, links, inline code) is still the
+//! renderer's own job, per block -- this deliberately does not build a
+//! full AST, because nothing needs one yet.
+//!
+//! ## Appending is not guaranteed to leave earlier blocks alone
+//!
+//! It nearly always does, which is what makes the fast path worth having,
+//! but markdown has no such rule: appending a "```" line can turn text
+//! that was three paragraphs into one fenced block, and appending "---"
+//! under a paragraph turns that paragraph into a heading. So a caller
+//! taking the O(last block) path **must compare the prefix it is about to
+//! keep** rather than assume it. [`common_prefix`] is that comparison, and
+//! it is cheap next to laying the text out again.

+//! Where a session screen gets a transcript from: this phone's copy first,
+//! the server for the rest. Ported from `app/.../TranscriptSource.kt`; see
+//! `docs/TRANSCRIPT_CACHE.md` for the design this implements and
+//! `docs/CLIENT_CORE.md` for how this file corresponds to the Kotlin.
+//!
+//! One seam rather than a cache the screen has to remember to consult.
+//! Everything fetched before is asked of this, and everything the server
+//! sends is written into the cache on the way past, so a caller never
+//! learns which side answered. The one rule worth keeping in mind: the
+//! cache is never load-bearing. Every read here has a network path beside
+//! it producing the same result.
+//!
+//! **Not ported**: `EventStream.kt`'s reconnect-with-backoff loop and the
+//! ability to close a live stream from another thread. Both are wall-clock
+//! and thread-lifetime concerns that belong to whatever runtime the caller
+//! embeds this crate in (a Tokio task, an iris timer, a Kotlin coroutine
+//! scope) rather than to this pure logic -- `follow` below is the same
+//! decorator shape `iris/desktop-app/src/app.rs` and
+//! `iris/android-app/src/transcript_client.rs` already hand-wrote around
+//! `event_stream::follow_session_events`, just with the cache write built
+//! in so a future caller does not have to repeat it a third time.

+//! RUST.md's E4: a session list on the left, `transcript-ui`'s screen (I5)
+//! filling the rest, both against a real `ai-server` reached through
+//! `client-core`. The layout is the simplest thing that shows both at
+//! once -- a fixed-width column and `rest(1)` for everything else, using
+//! `iris::widget::{Span, WidgetPtr}` the way `tabs-ui` already switches
+//! panes, rather than anything desktop-specific:
+//!
+//! ```text
+//! +-----------+--------------------------------------+
+//! | session   |  crate::ui::TranscriptScreen      |
+//! | list      |  (List of folded rows + composer)     |
+//! | (WidgetPtr|                                        |
+//! |  swapped  |  (WidgetPtr swapped whole on session   |
+//! |  on data) |   switch or a new transcript event)    |
+//! +-----------+--------------------------------------+
+//! ```
+//!
+//! **Incoming SSE events go through `TranscriptScreen::apply`**, not a
+//! full rebuild: `crate::client::transcript_fold::fold_event` folds the new
+//! item list as before, then `apply` updates only the row(s) that actually
+//! changed (almost always the one still-open assistant message a delta
+//! landed in) instead of rebuilding the whole right-hand widget tree from
+//! scratch. `rebuild_transcript` still runs the whole tree once, for a
+//! freshly loaded/selected session and for `apply`'s own rare
+//! full-rebuild fallback (a `group_tool_runs` regroup touching a row
+//! before the tail). The composer's in-progress text survives a rebuild
+//! (`rebuild_transcript`'s `in_progress` local) since the user typing a
+//! followup while a reply streams in is the one case a naive rebuild
+//! would otherwise lose data on -- `apply`'s own path never touches the
+//! composer at all, so this only matters on the fallback.
+//!
+//! Background network I/O (`crate::client::api`/`event_stream`, both
+//! blocking by design -- see `client-core`'s `Cargo.toml`) runs on plain
+//! `std::thread`s that report back through `winit`'s `EventLoopProxy`
+//! (`Proxy<AppEvent>`), rather than through iris's own `Tasks`/`task_on`:
+//! `Tasks` only requests a redraw once, after its whole async closure
+//! finishes, which fits a single request-then-update but not a live SSE
+//! loop that needs to be seen redrawing after *each* event it relays.
+//! `Proxy::send_event` wakes the window's event loop immediately, once per
+//! event, which is what a stream wants.

+//!
+//! Each native method is declared with `jni`'s [`native_method!`] macro
+//! rather than a hand-written `#[no_mangle] extern "system" fn Java_...`:
+//! the macro derives the mangled export name and the JNI signature from the
+//! Rust function itself, so the two cannot drift apart the way a
+//! hand-typed name string and a hand-typed `"(Landroid/...;)V"` signature
+//! routinely do. `error_policy = LogErrorAndDefault` matches
+//! `Notifications.kt`'s own posture: a failure here (a lost connection, a
+//! JNI call that threw) is reported to logcat, not thrown back into Java
+//! as an exception that would crash the app over something recoverable.
+//!
+//! Each `const _: NativeMethod = native_method! { ... };` binding is
+//! otherwise unused by name -- `_` is the idiomatic way to keep a
+//! side-effecting const (here, generating the `#[export_name]`d function
+//! the JVM resolves by the JNI naming convention) without a `dead_code`
+//! warning for a binding nothing reads.

+//! One markdown **block** (`crate::client::markdown_blocks::Block`) rendered
+//! for display: the plain text to draw, the [`SpanStyle`]s that style it,
+//! the links inside it, and the [`BlockFrame`] the row builder puts around
+//! it.
+//!
+//! This is the crate's answer to RUST.md's E2 finding against Masonry
+//! ("rich inline text -- block-level yes, inline no, and both for the same
+//! reason": `TextArea`'s `StyleSet` is one style for the whole editor,
+//! `masonry/src/widgets/text_area.rs:43-44`'s `// TODO: RichTextInput`
+//! beside it). iris's `SpanStyle` (`core/src/primitive/text.rs`) is
+//! per-range, so bold/italic/inline-code/links inside one wrapped
+//! paragraph render in their own style *and* the paragraph still wraps and
+//! selects as one buffer.
+//!
+//! **Three widget shapes, not one per markdown feature** ([`BlockFrame`]).
+//! A heading, a paragraph and a list are all *text with spans*; a fence
+//! and a table are *verbatim text on a dark surface that pans sideways*;
+//! a quote is *text behind a coloured bar*. Everything else markdown can
+//! say is expressed in the spans, which cost no widgets and no layout
+//! nodes. `app/.../Markdown.kt`'s component table is the reference for the
+//! sizes and colours; docs/DECISIONS.md's 2026-09-06 entry records where
+//! this deliberately differs.
+//!
+//! **What this deliberately does not attempt**, each for a reason recorded
+//! here rather than silently dropped (see IRIS_TODO.md's dated entries for
+//! the same list):
+//! - **No background chip behind inline code.** Drawing one needs the
+//!   glyph run's own geometry (the way `TextEdit::draw`'s selection
+//!   highlight uses `selection.geometry(layout)`,
+//!   `iris/src/widget/text/edit.rs:99`), which is `TextEdit`-internal.
+//!   `SpanStyle` gives the code range a monospace family and the
+//!   palette's code colour instead -- visually distinct, just not
+//!   chip-shaped.
+//! - **A list's indent is written in spaces**, not measured. Compose lays
+//!   an item out as a marker column beside a text column, which keeps a
+//!   wrapped second line aligned under the first; here the marker is part
+//!   of the same buffer, so a wrapped line returns to the left margin.
+//!   Doing better needs per-line indent in `TextAttrs`, which nothing else
+//!   wants yet.
+//!
+//! A heading's `SpanStyle::font_size` override does not also raise its
+//! `line_height` (a buffer has one, set from the *base* font size in
+//! `TextAttrs`), so a heading's own line looks slightly tighter than a
+//! paragraph's -- visible, not incorrect, and not fixed here since it
+//! needs `SpanStyle` to carry line-height too.

+//! with `markdown`'s inline spans, so that RUST.md's "hard to get back"
+//! behaviour 2 (rich inline text) still holds within a block and
+//! behaviour 1 (selection) runs across blocks and rows alike through

+//!
+//! It was one `TextEdit` for the whole message until 2026-09-06, which

+//! through parley again -- the stream phase was the one place iris trailed
+//! Compose on Iris's phone. [`RowBlocks::apply_delta`] is the other half
+//! of the fix; docs/DECISIONS.md's entry has what the alternative shapes
+//! were and why this one.

+//! A `TranscriptRow::Tools` (a run of adjacent tool calls, grouped by
+//! `crate::client::transcript_fold::group_tool_runs`) is the row that proves
+//! behaviour 3's "hold the edge nearest the tap" on expand: tapping its
+//! header calls `LazySpan::note_tap` at the row's own on-screen position
+//! (read back from `LazySpan::extent`, since the tap event only knows its
+//! position *within* this row) before toggling a `WidgetPtr` between the

+//! `xilem` (RUST.md's E2 box, citing
+//! `masonry/src/widgets/text_area.rs:414-459`). Each transcript row here is
+//! still its own `TextEdit` (one per row, not one per transcript, since a
+//! row is what `LazySpan` virtualises), so this is not literally "one
+//! `PlainEditor`" either -- iris's answer is a coordinator that drives each
+//! visible row's *own* selection primitives (`TextEditCtx::select`/
+//! `select_all`/`deselect`, already built for a single field) from one
+//! pointer drag that crosses row boundaries, giving the same reader-facing
+//! result (a selection that runs from a reply into the tool output beneath
+//! it, one copy) without needing a single shared text buffer underneath.
+//!
+//! Rows are keyed by `RowKey` (`iris::widget::list`), which every real row
+//! source (a transcript's sequence number) already assigns in the order the
+//! reader reads them in -- so "between the anchor and the current row" is
+//! answered by ordinary integer comparison via a `BTreeMap`, not a second
+//! copy of the list's own ordering.
+//!
+//! **Scoped shortcut, recorded rather than hidden**: the anchor row (the
+//! one the drag started in) is selected in full (`select_all`) the moment
+//! the drag leaves it, rather than "from the click point to whichever edge
+//! points away from the drag" -- the exact partial selection would need
+//! that row's own laid-out size, which `TextEditCtx` does not expose to a
+//! caller outside `iris::widget::text` (`edit.rs`'s `layout()` helper is
+//! private). Only the row currently *under the pointer* gets a true partial
+//! selection (from its own start or end, per direction, to the pointer's
+//! exact point) -- see `extend`. Re-entering the anchor row is still exact,

+//! Layer 1 of docs/RUST.md's "Three test layers", for the diagnostics

+//! `iris::input`/`iris::frame` (Iris's 2026-09-07 request, "add another
+//! button to copy input event info ... instrument a lot of the code with
+//! timings"), and `docs/REVIEW-2026-09-07.md`'s D1 found that the switch
+//! existed but four older per-frame `debug!` lines were not wired to it,
+//! filling the app's 2000-line log ring with frame spam before `Copy
+//! report` had a chance to include anything else. This is what a fix to

+//!
+//! 1. **Off** (the default): replaying a real gesture through a real
+//!    screen leaves the ring holding nothing below `info` -- so the
+//!    lines D1 named, and everything this pass gated the same way, really
+//!    are silent by default rather than merely "usually quiet."
+//! 2. **On**: the same replay produces `iris::input` lines that
+//!    `report_to_touch.py` turns back into the exact `TouchScript` that
+//!    was replayed, and `iris::frame` lines with real, non-zero
+//!    durations dated on the harness's own clock.
+//!
+//! **Single capturing logger, single test function** (this file's only
+//! `#[test]`): `log::set_logger` can succeed exactly once per process, and
+//! AGENTS.md's "tracing caches callsite interest process-wide" lesson is
+//! the general form of why every exercise of a logging path has to share
+//! one subscriber -- so if a second test here ever needs the ring's
