The final reading of 22 Oct: rather than one reading at a time finding a
variant, a seeded test plays the instance. Each run interleaves what the
person does on a laptop, a phone and a device without the keys
(studysets, topics, cards, notes, paths, steps, answers, PDFs, files,
moves, making private or readable, tags, Count me, Finish, publishing,
reading back) with what an instance that alters rows does to the local
database, as a sync would bring it (unsigned columns changed, rows
replayed under their ids, revisions and answers pointed elsewhere,
unsigned rows planted and signed ones copied from elsewhere, key records
withheld, handed back or forged, tags linked, files withheld, settings
folded away and handed back, the register answering no), each followed by
the upkeep after a merge. After every step, against a model kept from the
person's actions alone: nothing private when written is readable in any
row kept or file stored unless the person made it so, a release sends
only the tag names shown, and Count me is on only if the person turned it
on last. 50 seeds of 40 steps (about a minute) on the real gateways over
a local database; HOSTILE_SEEDS, HOSTILE_STEPS and HOSTILE_FROM run more,
or one seed again, and a failure names its seed and every step.

Each was found by the hostile-instance test (next commit) and has a test
of its own:
- a write decides on its key from the records and the tree read anew: a
studyset missing from a tree read before, or moved since, looked
readable;
- each studyset on the way up decides on its own first: its own record,
private or made readable (a readable studyset the instance moved under a
private one was taken as private, so a private card moved in and was
opened with the other tree), or the key its own row was seen sealed
with, learned from that row before a write (a topic the instance moved
to the top level was written readable on a device that never read it);
one sealed under a key not here refuses the write (a device that never
saw a studyset private, its key record withheld, wrote into it
readable);
- settings keep the newest versions seen: a row older than any of them,
or than another read with it, isn't read, so withholding a newer row and
handing back an older one rolls nothing back; Count me folds off where
any row says off;
- the upkeep reads only readable tags and settings, and a PDF read by its
id never refuses as a write would;
- two queries passed nullable ids to `id IN`, which Serverpod refuses at
run time: a path's step revisions and answers couldn't be read.

Such a device opens no record, so every tree looks readable to it: it
wrote cards, notes, paths, steps, answers, PDFs and files into private
trees readable. Every content write now asks for its key through one place
that refuses there (keyToWriteIn, and each item's write key), before any
row is inserted; reading is unchanged. That the account has keys is kept
once this device saw key rows, so withholding them later and answering no
changes nothing.

From the final reading of 22 Oct:
- a sweep loads only the rows not under the tree's key already, and opening
yields to the event loop every 64 rows, so a large tree never holds the
screen;
- a write waits only for a rewrite of its own tree, and reading waits for
none (it only decides what is trusted, which the records settle);
- a ledger write that failed keeps its changes for the next one.

The final reading of 22 Oct found that Finish's question said only how
many edits of each kind there were, so the person couldn't see content the
instance planted, and that taking them in sealed whatever was unsigned when
it ran, answers included without being counted. The dialog now lists each
edit with its kind and what it says (answers too), and taking them in seals
exactly the rows listed, each only while it still says what was shown; one
that came or changed after the list stays locked.

The final reading of 22 Oct found that the names were worked out again
after the sync that comes before publishing, so a link to a private tag
the instance merged in during that sync sent a name nobody saw going. The
sheet now hands what it showed to Publish, and the device refuses before
anything goes out when the names worked out then differ
(PublishProblem.tagNamesChanged), reading them again for the person to
look at.

The final reading of 22 Oct found that an item learned its first key from
any sealed row pointed at it: the instance pointed a revision of private B
at a card of private A, the card's next edit was sealed under B's key, and
making B readable opened it. Every sealed payload and every signed readable
one is now bound to the row it belongs to where that decides its key (a
revision's card, note or step, an answer's step, a path's or a PDF's
studyset; sealed format v2, the old dropped as nothing was released), so a
re-pointed row doesn't open and reads as locked, and an item learns its key
only from its own rows, before any write decides on one. A studyset's
parentId isn't bound (a move and an edit on two devices merge column by
column); instead each studyset on the way up keeps its own key before any
above it counts.
Also from the reading:
- whether the account has keys fails closed: any sign counts (keys open,
the register's yes, key rows, records, sealed tags and settings), the
register's no is never kept and it is asked again;
- a pending rewrite keeps whether it may take in unsigned rows, a sweep's
never does, and a sweep never takes over the person's own rewrite;
- settings carry one version vector per person, rows folded away here are
never read again, a row never seen is read only if it brings news, and
rows without a vector (HLKS) are dropped;
- a tree stays partly readable while rows a sweep can't move remain, which
are looked at again once more keys open.

sealed row now comes back under its own id, as the instance would replay
it (a copy under another id never opened), and the pending make-readable

after opening them. The older readable record against a newer private one

A rewrite or sweep changes only rows under keys whose signed ID names the
studyset rewritten (or none), so making a studyset readable never opens
another tree's rows the instance moved into it, and a sweep never seals
them under its own key; the person's own moves alone re-key rows of other
keys. An item's key is never replaced by an ended key, nor by another
studyset's while the one kept holds, and is written with before the
tree's. A pending rewrite the latest record no longer asks for is
dropped. A file that won't move is counted and owed, the tree partly
readable meanwhile, and each step of the upkeep fails alone. Settings
carry a version vector (each device's count of writes): a row is refused
as a rollback only when it brings news from no device. Sweeps look rows
up by their key and skip those known unmovable; a sync is asked for only
when something was written. Rewrites run one at a time and write back
only rows unchanged since they were read. A record is made later than
the latest known, whatever the clock. An unreadable ledger is kept aside
and nothing private is written until the keys are opened again; whether
the account has keys is the register's to say.
Tests (each the reading's probe): a moved card under a studyset made
readable, a sweep after a move, a replayed sealed row under an ended key,
a pending make-readable over a later private record, a file that won't
move, two devices' settings at once, an older readable record on a fresh
device, a clock behind; the withheld-record test withholds the tree's
record alone.

The reading of 22 Oct, on the device's side. Private cards never move
into a readable studyset: the card browser asks to make it private first.
Locked studysets are left out of the move sheets and the destinations
words are added to. A studyset whose key isn't on this device says to
sign in with the password here, not that it is lost, and can still be
archived; creating one there says why it can't. The marker shows the lock
for a private studyset published before, and a shield with a warning
while something in it is still readable or unsealed, with Finish in its
dialog. The library's offer covers every top-level studyset, Recently
deleted and orphaned ones too, says what couldn't be sealed, and its
answer follows the person in their settings (schema 11).
The full-window editors carry the studyset they were opened from, and an
account with keys adds no file where none is known (a new studyset's
description takes pictures once it is made). A file no live row names is
never uploaded, and deleting a row clears what it owed. Sealed rows are
indexed by key and hash. A suggestion from a private copy uploads
readable copies of its files for the author; accepting swaps whole
`asset:` values only.

The reading of 22 Oct, against an instance that alters data. A data key's
ID now says what it is for (a studyset's key naming it, the person's key,
or a record that a studyset was made readable), and the ID is sealed with
the key and signed by the account, so the instance can't relabel a key or
make one up; the row's own columns are no longer trusted. A studyset is
private while the latest signed record about it says so, and the device
keeps the latest it saw in a ledger in the person's folder (privacy.json),
so a record withheld or a row replayed changes nothing; a tree's key is
the nearest studyset's with such a record, itself or above. An item keeps
the key it was last seen sealed with unless this device moves it or a
signed record makes its tree readable.
A readable row a device holding the keys writes carries the account's
signature in place of a nonce; one nobody signed is locked wherever
privacy holds (in private trees, for items once sealed, and for tags and
settings once sealed), so the instance can't plant content, confirm a
guessed tag name by folding, or switch Count me on. Signed readable rows
from a device that hadn't heard are shown and sealed anew.
Rewrites are kept as under way until done, write the top studyset last,
hold writes into their tree meanwhile, and are finished as the data opens
and after each merge; a sweep seals what a stale device wrote. Cards moved
into a private tree are sealed with their files first; cards of a private
tree are never moved into a readable one. A private topic moved out of
its tree keeps its privacy with a key of its own. Settings carry a counter
inside their sealed payload, and a lower one than seen is refused. The
person's readable tags and settings are sealed once. A device without the
keys of an account that has them writes nothing that would be private and
reports nothing for the learner count; an anonymous person's keys kept but
unreadable are never replaced. Publishing sends only the names of the
tags the release carries. Key refusals are remembered per row.
Tests on the real gateways over a local database: a replayed readable top
row, a withheld key record, a moved parent, a planted revision, a signed
stale revision, card and topic moves, an interrupted rewrite, a settings
rollback, a device without keys, planted tags.

An upload said to be encrypted must start as a sealed file does (HLKF,
version 1), so a readable file can't skip the PDF check by saying so. A
person's room counts the files a live asset row names and those claimed

no longer fails for a week while pruning keeps the replaced files. Copy

The developer's decision of 21 Oct, on the library's cards and the
studyset's Share in its action row alike:
- a lock: private, end-to-end encrypted;
- an open lock: readable by the instance, not published;
- a globe: published.
The lock and the open lock open one dialog saying what that means and
changing it (Make non-private; Make private, or Publish…, which opens the
Publish sheet, while it isn't private); a topic's dialog says its privacy
is its tree's. The globe opens the Publish sheet, whose status for a
studyset not published now says so ("Not published") with an open lock,
as "Private" means something else now. Texts in en and de.

- `AssetRepository` seals a file of a private studyset with its tree's key
for its asset row before hashing it (`AssetSealing`, which `Privacy`
does): the row's hash and size and the file uploaded are the sealed
file's, the upload says it is encrypted, and the row's payload, sealed
too, carries the file name and the hash of what was sealed (asset
schema 2). A download is checked against the row's hash, opened for its
row and checked against what was sealed. This device keeps the sealed
file to upload and the opened one, by its own hash, for what reads files
by path.
- The same file is a row per key: in a private and a readable studyset, or
two private trees, it is two.
- Every place adding a file names its studyset: the editors' pictures and
sounds (`StudysetFiles`, which every screen of a studyset and the PDF
reader set), PDFs and screenshots, Anki imports, copies and their updates
(a copy's top studyset is made first, so its files take its key), and
accepted suggestions (by their item's tree).
- Making a tree private or not, or moving a topic into another tree, moves
its files: each under another key is added anew under the tree's, the
content names the new row (whole `asset:` values and a PDF's file, never
text), and the old row is blanked and deleted once nothing else names it.
- Tests: a private studyset's file never uploads readable; a sealed file
moved to another row, or under a key not open here, doesn't open; a
changed file is refused by its hash; one row per key.

- `ContentKeys` opens the person's data keys (`content_key`) with their
account's keys on the device, an anonymous person's device keys made as
their data first opens; it makes a private studyset's key and the
personal key. Without the account's keys nothing opens and nothing new
is private (D8).
- `PayloadEnvelope` is the one place payloads are sealed and opened, each
for its table, row and column, so a payload moved to another row never
opens; one that doesn't open is `Locked`, never half-read.
- `Privacy` gives each gateway the key of the row's tree (its top-level
studyset's), and rewrites a tree under another key, or readable, in

- The studyset, card, note, learning path, path answer and PDF gateways
seal with their tree's key and open what they read: a new top-level
studyset is private where the device holds the keys, a new one inside a

under that tree's key. Tags and settings are sealed with the personal
key; a tag or settings row that doesn't open here is left out, so
nothing folds or deletes it. A studyset whose key doesn't open shows as
locked (`Studyset.isLocked`); other rows that don't open read as blank.

- Publishing refuses a private studyset, and a tree holding a private row

publishing a readable one. Encrypted tags are named as the device names
them (`tagNames`): a name for a tag that isn't the person's, or an

- The connector leaves private studysets out and says how many there are.
- The learner count reads no payload any more: Count me is kept by the

its copies come from (`learning_copy`, accepted only while counted, each
report replacing the last); only the reporter's own studysets count.
Deleting a person deletes both.

Where an instance offers password sign-in, GitHub is added to nobody (ADR

account nobody has, and every refusal but an unknown account read
"Couldn't sign in with GitHub." (the end-to-end test of 21 Oct).

whether it is added to people (`gitHubOffer`, in place of

The short reading's H1: open(2) takes its mode among variable arguments,
which Apple's Arm passes on the stack, so bound with three fixed ones it
read the mode from whatever the stack held: a phrase or recovery codes
saved on an Apple silicon Mac could be readable by everyone. It is bound
as variadic now (VarArgs), and every file written is made 0600 through its
descriptor (fchmod), checked.
M1: macOS's sandbox lets an app reach the file the person chose and
nothing beside it, so the file made beside it was refused and nothing
could be saved; Learn's sandbox allowed reading chosen files alone, so its
exports never saved on macOS either. There, writePrivately now writes the
chosen file itself (decided by the developer on 21 Oct): opened without
following a link or waiting on a pipe and without truncating, refused with
nothing written unless fstat finds a file of the own user's, then made
0600 and emptied. Both apps' entitlements grant reading and writing the
files the person chooses. Linux keeps the new file renamed over it.
The reading's nits: the buffer is wiped whatever happens, an interrupted
call is made again (EINTR), the file made beside a chosen one is named
apart from it so a name as long as a folder takes still saves, the folder
is flushed after the rename, and Linux reads a file's type and owner with
statx, alike on every architecture, where __lxstat's version differed
(riscv64's was wrong). The test of another user's file is skipped as root.
The in-place path is tested on Linux; none of it has run on a Mac.

ADR 0017 gets "Reading the fixes (21 Oct 2026)": each finding and what
was done, and "The rules as they stand" brought up to date (resets take
effect once 72 hours outside hold-outs passed and lapse 30 days after
they were asked; GitHub-only accounts go 30 days after the end; a member
takes the register's moment by its own clock; nothing secret copied on
the device). The module README and Learn's AGENTS.md say the same.

The reading of the full reading's fixes noted that macOS and Windows can
keep a window out of screen captures, which SecretScreen didn't ask.
PlatformScreenGuard now asks the app's window on Android, macOS and
Windows (asksOn), and both apps' runners answer app.halkyon/screen_guard,
counting what shows: macOS's MainFlutterWindow sets sharingType = .none,
Windows' FlutterWindow WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE (Windows 10 2004 on;
before, WDA_MONITOR, black in captures). Neither runner was built here
(Linux): to be tried on each system.

The reading of the full reading's fixes found that the device keeps
http://host/ and https://host/ in one place (folder, session key, keyring
prefix): someone with a stored http://host/ who added https://host/ and
then removed the first deleted the second's folder, session and keys while
it was in use, losing unsynced changes, and an anonymous account for good.
The places keep the names installs made (InstanceStorage.sharesWith says
which addresses share one): choosing an address the device keeps where a
known one is puts it in that one's place in the list, and removing an
address forgets nothing another known one uses. The build's own instance
keeps its place apart. Learn and Todo pass the storage's rule.

The reading of the full reading's fixes found that a member, which keeps
no addresses, would delete everyone it holds with a GitHub ID as if
GitHub were their only way in (D1); that each deletion delivered every
pending notice, so with a member hanging the daily run grew quadratic,
and one failing person aborted it, forgetting no GitHub ID (D2); and that
a GITHUB_SIGN_IN_ENDS set wrong deleted data at the next daily run.
forgetGitHubAccounts now does nothing on a member and waits 30 days after
the end (gitHubAccountsKeptAfterEnd), keeping the accounts and IDs while a
wrong date can be put right; deletes each GitHub-only account on its own,
a failure logged by type, that person's GitHub ID kept for the next run;
and tells the members once, after all of them (deletePerson's tellMembers).

The reading of the full reading's fixes found that every refusal at the
address's ceiling moved a reset to 72 hours after it (A1): someone who
knows only the address kept the owner's own reset from ever taking effect
with one burst every three days, and kept a forgotten one alive (A2).
Now a hold-out that begins before a reset takes effect moves it on only by
the time it holds the owner out and no hold-out counted before did
(account_reset.heldOutUntil, under a row lock), so the owner gets 72 hours
outside hold-outs in total; and every reset not carried out lapses 30 days
after it was asked (resetLivesAtMost), whatever moved it, besides a week
after it took effect.
Migration (module, Learn's and Todo's servers, Learn's device schema):
ALTER TABLE "account_reset" ADD COLUMN "heldOutUntil" timestamp without
time zone; nullable, existing rows counted from now on.

ADR 0017's full-reading part says what the device's fixes did: the
clipboard, plain HTTP refused but on this machine, sheets never left busy,
what Save leaves, secrets out of debug logs, keyboards, screenshots and
backups, memory, and the real cryptography against the register's checks.
halkyon_app's README says what an app must add (its activity's screen
guard), Learn's AGENTS.md the HTTPS rule for instances.

The recovery phrase, recovery codes and an authenticator's QR code and
key now show inside a SecretScreen: on Android it holds FLAG_SECURE while
it shows (through a channel each app's MainActivity answers, counting
holds, as several may show at once; ScreenGuard.kt), so screenshots,
screen recordings and the recents view don't get them; on iOS, which has
no such flag, it covers them while the app isn't in front, so the app
switcher's picture doesn't hold them (Dart-side, not checked on a device).
Desktops do neither: a window loses focus whenever its person turns to a
password manager. Todo's debug APK builds with it.

Equatable's own text lists every field, and a debug build's bloc observer
logs every state, so an authenticator's otpauth URI with its secret, the
recovery codes and the address went into the log. The password states
(signing in, getting back in, adding an authenticator, a step of the
account section) and AuthenticatorSetup now say only where they stand, as
the setup and new-phrase states did; Learn's observer takes a writer so
its test holds what it logs to that.

ADR 0017's "Full reading (21 Oct 2026)": each server finding and what was
done (H1, M1, M2, M3, L1, L4, L5, L6, L7, L10), those accepted with their
reasons (L2, L3, L8, L9), and the device's M1, the owner's proof bound to
its operation and the whole base URL, still to do. "The rules as they
stand" brought up to date; the module README and Learn's AGENTS.md too.

The full reading's M1 and L6: once GitHub IDs were forgotten at
GITHUB_SIGN_IN_ENDS, an account that had signed in with GitHub alone
counted as anonymous, so a stolen session and any mailbox gave it a first
password and authenticator; and such accounts, with no way in left, were
never pruned. Now:
- at the end, the daily run that forgets the GitHub IDs first deletes the
accounts that sign in with GitHub alone (no address, so never a
password), with everything they have, members told (deletePerson); the
app tells them for the three months before that their account goes then
unless they set up a password (passwordSectionGitHubEndsDeletes, en/de);
- password.set adds an address without GitHub only for someone anonymous
where the session lives (anonymousHere, which a member tells the
register, as it tells freshGitHubSignIn); anyone else is refused before
any code is used.

The full reading's M3: whoever knows the password made the account's codes
wait, and that wait refused the phrase's owner their reset too, so they were
held out of both without end. Codes now count per account and per way they
came (SecondFactorPath: after the password, after the phrase), each with
its own waits; a code accepted either way clears both.
Migration (module, Learn's and Todo's servers; Learn's device schema
rebuilds the server-only table):
DROP INDEX "second_factor_failures_person_idx";
ALTER TABLE "second_factor_failures" ADD COLUMN "path" text NOT NULL
DEFAULT 'password'::text;
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "second_factor_failures_person_idx" ON
"second_factor_failures" USING btree ("authUserId", "path");
Existing rows are the password's, unique per account, so unique per
account and way too.
Also the hosts' generated future calls, for the pruning's doc comment the
lapsed resets' commit changed.

The full reading's M2: a reset of the authenticators asked and forgotten
left the account to the password alone for good, and an account's reset
could be carried out a year after it was asked. Now a reset that took
effect and wasn't carried out lapses a week later, as never asked: the
password alone no longer signs in, a code still does, and asked again it
waits anew with a new mail. A reset of the authenticators carried out never
lapses (the password alone signs in until one is confirmed). The daily
pruning forgets lapsed rows (forgetLapsedResets).

The tenth wrong owner proof in a row ends a session (the third
reading); someone holding that session tried the password or its
codes. The register now keeps the moment with the account's password
(`account_password.sessionEndedForProofsAt`): the account's sign-in
ways and its next password sign-in carry it, until the owner dismisses
it (`password.dismissSessionEndedWarning`, their session alone: it
hides a warning and secures nothing) or sets a new password. A member
ending its own session tells the register
(`noteSessionEndedForProofs`); a register out of reach leaves the
owner unwarned, the session ended all the same.
Migration (module, Learn's and Todo's servers, Learn's device schema):
ALTER TABLE "account_password" ADD COLUMN "sessionEndedForProofsAt"
timestamp without time zone; nullable, so every row keeps its values
and has no warning.
