# Next Session Tasks
**Last updated**: 2026-03-02
**Project**: android-fs5
**Status**: Both specs 001 + 002 complete. 85/85 tests passing.
---
## Priority 1 — Spec 002 Completion
- [ ] Create `specs/002-remote-control/plan.md` — architecture decisions for remote control layer
- [ ] Create `specs/002-remote-control/tasks.md` — formal task breakdown (T025T033 retroactively)
- [ ] Update `specs/002-remote-control/spec.md` Status from `Draft``Complete`
## Priority 2 — Quality & Hardening
- [ ] Run `shellcheck fs5 lib/*.sh` and fix any warnings
- [ ] Add `lib/input.sh` shellcheck pass (currently used by remote control commands)
- [ ] Consider adding `--dry-run` flag to `push`/`pull` for safer automation
- [ ] Add `ui tap` live device integration (currently exits 1 for nonexistent elements only)
## Priority 3 — Documentation
- [ ] Update `README.md` with `ui` subcommand documentation (added in latest commit)
- [ ] Add usage examples for `ocr`, `sms otp`, `ui find` to README
- [ ] Consider a `docs/` directory with architecture diagram (Mermaid)
## Priority 4 — Future Features
- [ ] `fs5 record` — screen recording via scrcpy (`--record output.mp4`)
- [ ] `fs5 sms send` — send SMS via KDE Connect CLI
- [ ] `fs5 notify` — read/dismiss Android notifications via KDE Connect
- [ ] TOTP extraction from authenticator app via OCR + `ui find`
## Notes
- Device serial: `RD51QE202392` (Samsung FS5, configured in `.env`)
- KDE Connect must be paired for `sms` commands to work fully
- UIAutomator XML fixture at `tests/fixtures/ui_dump.xml` used for offline ui tests
- scrcpy 3.3.4 on host; tesseract required for `ocr` command

# Android FS5 CLI — BATS TDD Learnings
## Context
Built `android-fs5` from scratch today: a Bash CLI (`fs5`) for managing a Samsung
Galaxy FS5 device via ADB, scrcpy, KDE Connect, and UIAutomator. 85 BATS tests,
all passing. Two specs completed in one session.
---
## Key Learnings
### 1. BATS Fixture Pattern for Offline UI Tests
**Problem**: UIAutomator `uiautomator dump` requires a live device. Tests would be
flaky/slow without a fixture.
**Solution**: Capture a real `ui_dump.xml` once, store in `tests/fixtures/`, and
mock the `adb shell uiautomator dump` call in tests using `PATH` override or
function mocking.
```bash
# In test setup: override adb to return fixture
function adb() {
if [[ "$*" == *"uiautomator dump"* ]]; then
cat tests/fixtures/ui_dump.xml
return 0
fi
command adb "$@"
}
export -f adb
```
**Lesson**: XML fixtures enable fast, deterministic UI parsing tests without device.
### 2. UIAutomator XML Parsing in Pure Bash
**Problem**: Parsing XML in Bash is fragile with `grep`/`sed`.
**Solution**: Use `grep -oP` with Perl regex for attribute extraction. Works reliably
for UIAutomator's flat XML structure (no deep nesting needed).
```bash
# Extract bounds="[x1,y1][x2,y2]" and compute center
bounds=$(grep -oP 'bounds="\[\K[^\]]+' <<< "$node")
# bounds = "x1,y1][x2,y2" → split on "]["
```
**Lesson**: UIAutomator XML is regular enough for grep-based parsing. No need for
`xmllint` dependency.
### 3. KDE Connect SMS — Graceful Degradation
**Problem**: `kdeconnect-cli` SMS commands require pairing. Tests must not fail
when device is unpaired.
**Solution**: Check pairing status first; return structured error with setup
instructions rather than raw CLI error.
```bash
if ! kdeconnect-cli --list-devices 2>/dev/null | grep -q "paired"; then
out_error "KDE Connect not paired. Run: kdeconnect-cli --pair -d <device-id>"
exit 2
fi
```
**Lesson**: Exit code 2 = "device/dependency not available" (distinct from exit 1 =
"usage error"). Consistent exit codes make tests reliable.
### 4. BATS `bats_require_minimum_version` — Don't Run as Bash
**Problem**: Running `.bats` files directly with `bash` fails with cryptic errors
(`bats_require_minimum_version: command not found`).
**Solution**: Always run via `bats tests/` or `bats tests/test_foo.bats`. The BATS
runtime provides the `@test`, `run`, `assert_*` functions.
**Lesson**: Add to project README: "Run tests with `bats tests/`, not `bash tests/`."
### 5. Scrcpy Headless Mode for Screenshot Automation
**Problem**: `scrcpy` opens a window by default; CI/automation needs headless.
**Solution**: `scrcpy --no-display --screenshot-file=path.png` captures a screenshot
without opening a window. Combine with `--serial` for multi-device.
```bash
scrcpy --serial "$ANDROID_SERIAL" --no-display \
--screenshot-file "$output_path" 2>/dev/null
```
**Lesson**: scrcpy 3.x has `--no-display` + `--screenshot-file` as first-class flags.
No need for `adb exec-out screencap` workarounds.
### 6. JSON Output Pattern for Shell CLIs
**Pattern used throughout `fs5`**: Every command supports `--json` flag for
machine-readable output. Implemented via `lib/output.sh`:
```bash
out_json() {
# $1 = JSON string (pre-built with jq or printf)
echo "$1"
}
out_human() {
# $1 = human-readable string
[[ "${OUTPUT_FORMAT:-human}" == "json" ]] || echo "$1"
}
```
**Lesson**: Dual-mode output (human + JSON) makes CLI tools composable with AI agents
and scripts. Use `jq -n` for safe JSON construction.

## Anti-Patterns Avoided
| Anti-Pattern | What We Did Instead |
|---|---|
| `eval` for dynamic adb commands | Array-based `adb_cmd "${args[@]}"` |
| Hardcoded device serial in scripts | `.env` file + `ANDROID_SERIAL` env var |
| `grep` on `adb shell` exit codes | Explicit `adb shell "cmd; echo EXIT:$?"` pattern |
| Monolithic `fs5` script | Modular `lib/adb.sh`, `lib/output.sh`, `lib/input.sh` |
