F-Droid's reviewer measured the score and move lines at 2.1:1 against the
4.5:1 normal text needs. Raising them past 14pt bold puts them under the 3:1
large-text bar instead, which is the only way ink still readable as "muted"
can be conformant on a mid-tone accent: reaching 4.5:1 at the old size would
have taken near-black labels on plum and slate, out-shouting the clock digits
above them. Hence the 19px floor, with a comment saying so — lowering it
breaks the contrast claim silently.
Measuring turned up a second failure nobody had flagged: the active player's
clock digits are white on the accent, and brass sat at 2.46:1 against the same
3:1 bar. Sage and brass are darkened just far enough to clear it, scaled in
linear light so only lightness moves. Slate, teal and plum already passed and
are untouched. Darkening further was tempting and wrong — it would have taken
the headroom the muted labels need.
--accent-mute was doing double duty as the delay bar's background, where it
only ever agreed with the bar by accident. Splitting off --track keeps the bar
pixel-identical: 234px wide, fill and unfilled segments unchanged.
The delay number is right-aligned in a box exactly two digits wide. The bar and
the number together now sit within a pixel of the panel's centre rather than
10px left of it, and the digit that changes every second stays put instead of
sliding when the count drops out of double figures; the gap absorbs it.
The settings sheet's Done button and preset chips are still white on accent at
15px, which needs 4.5:1 and gets 3.2:1. Known, and left alone: fixing them
means 19px floors and visibly taller buttons.
Screenshots come from tools/screenshots.py now instead of being made by hand.
It seeds localStorage and lets the app render its own saved state, so scenes
are reproducible. The traps are in its docstring and RELEASING.md — including
one that cost an afternoon today: snap-confined Chromium cannot write into any
hidden directory, and says only "Permission denied".

All four listing shots were captured before the sheet-shadow fix, so each
carried the dark band along the bottom. Regenerated against the fixed
build; every one now measures a flat bottom band. The score sheet shot is
byte-identical and unchanged — an open sheet covers the bottom of the
screen, so the closed sheet's shadow was never visible in it.
Adds a fifth shot of the timeout, the most distinctive thing the app does
and the one state that had no picture.
Hans's description credits the design and the Chess.com inspiration.
Checked against F-Droid's documented limits: title 16/50, summary 66/80,
description 1644/4000, changelog 180/500, and <b> is the only markup, on
their allowed list.
.gitignore picks up *.swp and *~ so an editor swap file can't be
committed by accident.

A single Activity holding one WebView, in Java rather than Kotlin — for
~120 lines of setup Kotlin would only add its Gradle plugin, its stdlib
in the APK and a third version to keep aligned with Gradle and AGP. One
dependency: androidx.webkit 1.16.0.
The assets are served from https://appassets.androidplatform.net through
WebViewAssetLoader rather than file://. That is the part that matters: an
https origin is a secure context, and localStorage — which holds every
setting and the match in progress — is blocked on file://, so a saved
game would silently vanish. Confirmed on device: force-quit mid-match and
everything comes back.
public_html stays the only copy of the web app. A task syncs it into the
assets at build time, so the browser version and the app version cannot
drift; the APK's index.html hashes identical to the working tree. sw.js
is left out on purpose — it is cache-first, and a service-worker cache
outlives an app upgrade, so it would serve a stale index.html with no way
to clear it. The APK is the cache now.
Three web APIs don't exist in a WebView, so the Activity supplies them:
FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON for navigator.wakeLock, native immersive mode for
requestFullscreen(), and LAYOUT_IN_DISPLAY_CUTOUT_MODE_SHORT_EDGES so the
panels' env(safe-area-inset-*) has something to report. textZoom is
pinned to 100: the layout is built on clamp() and vw, and a large system
font would scale the text inside it.
The manifest declares no permissions whatsoever.
Wiring note: AGP 9 refuses a Provider in sourceSets.assets.srcDir, since
it can't tell generated from static directories. The sync is a task with
a DirectoryProperty output, attached via androidComponents.onVariants,
which is the supported path and carries the task dependency.
