fix(release): use Forgejo-style /assets and /tags API routes

The server (gitea.zephyre.one) exposes a Forgejo-compatible API:
- release attachments live at POST /releases/{id}/assets, not /attachments
- tag deletion is DELETE /tags/{tag}, not DELETE /git/refs/tags/{tag}
(verified against the live API: /attachments 404s, /assets and /tags exist)

 ## Hard rules
 
 - `hermes-agent/` is a **read-only research reference** (git-ignored). Never commit, push, or modify it — a pre-commit hook (`scripts/guard_hermes_agent.sh --staged`) fails any commit that stages it. Never modify hermes core; we only install our plugin into the live hermes home.
+- **Commit/push scope:** when asked to "commit and push all changes," that means **all** changes in the working tree — it does NOT matter whether a change was made this session or earlier. Stage everything (`git add .`) and commit; do not cherry-pick or second-guess which files are "yours." The only exception is `hermes-agent/` (git-ignored, never staged).
 - The plugin is installed by symlink: `~/.hermes/plugins/android` → `<repo>/gateway-plugin` (already set up on this machine).

 ## Commands
 
 - `hermes` is **not on PATH**: use `hermes-agent/.venv/bin/hermes` (venv from `cd hermes-agent && uv sync`).
-- Gateway: `hermes gateway setup` (one-time; generates `ANDROID_TOKEN` in `~/.hermes/.env`, prints the token only once) → `hermes gateway` (run) → `hermes gateway status`.
+- Gateway: `hermes gateway setup` (one-time; generates `IRIS_TOKEN` in `~/.hermes/.env`, prints the token only once) → `hermes gateway` (run) → `hermes gateway status`.
 - Android: check the device is connected first (`adb devices` → `a5ca2a4b` listed as `device`); then `cd app && ./gradlew :androidApp:installDebug` to install on the phone and live-verify changes (launch/screenshot: see ADB below).
 - Desktop: `cd app && ./gradlew :desktopApp:run`; packaging: `:desktopApp:jpackage` (app-image; `-PjpackageType=deb` for a .deb).
 - Python tests — **never bare `pytest`**: `cd hermes-agent && scripts/run_tests.sh tests/gateway/test_android.py` (no args = full suite).
-- Kotlin tests: `cd app && ./gradlew :shared:testDebugUnitTest` / `:shared:desktopTest` (no test sources exist yet).
-- WS probe (gateway must be running): `hermes-agent/.venv/bin/python gateway-plugin/tests/ws_probe.py --token <ANDROID_TOKEN> --send "hello"` — assertion flags documented in `gateway-plugin/tests/README.md`.
+- Kotlin tests: `cd app && ./gradlew :shared:testAndroidHostTest` / `:shared:desktopTest` (host-side; `jvmTest` is the shared source set).
+- WS probe (gateway must be running): `hermes-agent/.venv/bin/python gateway-plugin/tests/ws_probe.py --token <IRIS_TOKEN> --send "hello"` — assertion flags documented in `gateway-plugin/tests/README.md`.
 - E2E driver (gateway must be running; it never starts/stops it): `hermes-agent/.venv/bin/python gateway-plugin/tests/e2e.py`.
 
 ## Environment / pairing quirks
 
-- Pairing token: `ANDROID_TOKEN` in `~/.hermes/.env`. The app has **no QR scanner** — pairing is manual URL + token entry.
-- WS default bind is `127.0.0.1`; for a phone on the LAN set `ANDROID_WS_HOST` to the gateway's LAN IP.
+- Pairing token: `IRIS_TOKEN` in `~/.hermes/.env`. Pairing is manual URL + token entry; on **Android** there's also a QR-scan button (camera) that fills URL + token from the gateway's pairing QR. Desktop has no camera, so it's manual entry only.
+- WS default bind is `127.0.0.1`; for a phone on the LAN set `IRIS_WS_HOST` to the gateway's LAN IP.
 - `app/local.properties` (`sdk.dir`) is git-ignored and required for Android builds.
 - `google-services.json` is optional: without it FCM is inert and ntfy is the push path. Public ntfy.sh SSE is flaky — self-host ntfy.
-- JDK 17; no system Gradle — always the wrapper (`./gradlew`).
-- Desktop jpackage on Linux/JDK 17 prints a non-fatal `pure virtual method called` (JDK-8348560); the app works.
+- **JDK 21** is required (the desktop Markdown renderer ships Java-21 bytecode); no system Gradle — always the wrapper (`./gradlew`). The JDK-21 home is machine-specific and set per machine (NOT committed): add `org.gradle.java.home=/path/to/jdk21` to `~/.gradle/gradle.properties`, or `export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/jdk21` before running `./gradlew`.
+- Desktop jpackage on Linux/JDK 21 prints a non-fatal `pure virtual method called` (JDK-8348560); the app works.
 
 ## Testing quirks
 
-- `hermes-agent/tests/gateway/test_android.py` is a thin mirror that imports the **live `gateway-plugin/` package from this repo** (override with `ANDROID_PLUGIN_DIR`); HERMES_HOME is sandboxed per-test by the conftest. Tests must never touch the real `~/.hermes`.

 - e2e scenarios 3 (reasoning) and 5 (commentary) are model-dependent → SKIP; 11 (push) and 12 (reconnect) are PARTIAL by design.
 - ADB: launch `adb shell am start -n dev.iris.app/.MainActivity`; reset pairing state `adb shell pm clear dev.iris.app`; screenshot `adb exec-out screencap -p > /tmp/shot.png`.
 - ADB UI taps: **never guess tap coordinates from a screenshot** — dump the hierarchy and tap the element's real bounds: `adb shell uiautomator dump` → `adb pull /sdcard/window_dump.xml` → find the node by `text` / `content-desc` / `resource-id` → `adb shell input tap` at the center of its `bounds="[x1,y1][x2,y2]"`. Re-dump after every navigation; if a tap misses, the dump is stale — re-dump, don't nudge coordinates.

+```kotlin
+// CI passes -PappVersion=<version> (release workflow); local builds keep the
+// default. jpackage requires a plain semver (no leading "v").
+val appVersion = (project.findProperty("appVersion") as? String) ?: "0.1.0"
+```
+
+**Change 2** — in the `jpackage` Exec task's `commandLine(...)`, replace:
+
+```kotlin
+        "--app-version", "0.1.0",
+```
+
+with:
+
+```kotlin
+        "--app-version", appVersion,
+```
+

+
+## 5. NEW FILE: `scripts/make_release_keystore.sh` (Android signing, one-time)
+
+This is the noob-friendly signing setup. Run it **once** on your machine:
+
+```bash
+scripts/make_release_keystore.sh
+```
+
+It generates a keystore with random passwords and prints the four values to
+paste into Gitea. Then create the secrets in
+**Gitea → repo → Settings → Actions → Secrets**:
+
+| Secret | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| `ANDROID_KEYSTORE_BASE64` | the long base64 blob the script prints |
+| `ANDROID_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD` | printed by the script |
+| `ANDROID_KEY_ALIAS` | `iris` |
+| `ANDROID_KEY_PASSWORD` | printed by the script |
+
+Until the secrets exist, the release workflow still works but ships a
+**debug** APK (installable, but not suitable for updates).
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+# One-time setup: create the Android release keystore and print the values to
+# paste into Gitea (repo -> Settings -> Actions -> Secrets).
+#
+# Usage:  scripts/make_release_keystore.sh [output-file]
+#         (default: ~/iris-release.keystore)
+#
+# WARNING: back up the keystore file immediately. If it is lost, the app can
+# never be updated on users' phones (a new key = a brand-new app as far as
+# Android is concerned).
+set -euo pipefail
+

+if [ -e "$OUT" ]; then
+  echo "Refusing to overwrite existing file: $OUT" >&2
+  exit 1

+
+echo
+echo "Keystore written to: $OUT"
+echo ">>> Back it up NOW (password manager / cloud storage). <<<"
+echo

+echo "  ANDROID_KEY_ALIAS         = iris"
+echo "  ANDROID_KEY_PASSWORD      = $KEY_PASS"
+```
+
+Don't forget: `chmod +x scripts/make_release_keystore.sh`
+
+---
+
+## 6. Prerequisites / checks before the first run
+
+1. **act_runner must be registered** on gitea.zephyre.one with the label
+   `ubuntu-latest` (that's what both workflows request). Check under
+   Gitea → (your user or the org) → Actions → Runners.
+2. The runner needs internet access (GitHub, Google, Maven Central, Gradle).
+3. No Gitea secrets are *required* — but add the four keystore secrets from
+   §5 for a signed APK, and optionally a `GITEA_TOKEN` (Releases: write) if
+   the automatic `GITHUB_TOKEN` doesn't have release permission.
+
+## 7. Using it
+
+- **CI**: pushes to `master` / PRs run automatically.
+- **Release**: repo → **Actions** → *Release* → **Run workflow** → enter
+  `version` (e.g. `0.2.0`) + `changelog` → start. The release appears at
+  `https://gitea.zephyre.one/ARIA/iris_x_hermes/releases/tag/v0.2.0` with:
+  - `iris-android-v0.2.0.apk` (signed, or `-debug` without keystore secrets)
+  - `iris-desktop-linux-x64-v0.2.0.zip` (app image, JRE bundled)
+  - `iris-desktop-linux-x64-v0.2.0.deb`
+- Re-running with the same version **replaces** the old release (old tag +
+  attachments are deleted first).
+
+## 8. Later: Windows / macOS desktop builds
+
+When the Windows VM / MacBook runner exists:
+
+1. Register act_runner on that machine (labels e.g. `windows-latest`,
+   `macos-latest`).
+2. In `release.yml`, copy the `desktop` job, change `runs-on`, and adjust the
+   artifact names (`iris-desktop-windows-x64-…`, `iris-desktop-macos-…`).
+   jpackage then produces `msi`/`dmg` natively — no other changes needed.
+3. Bump the pinned hermes-agent SHA in both workflows whenever you update the
+   local `hermes-agent/` checkout (`git -C hermes-agent rev-parse HEAD`).

 ### `message.deleted`
+
 The given message(s) were deleted from a chat/thread. Response to a
 `message.delete` request (`id` set) **and** broadcast to every device so all of
 them drop the message(s) from their cache. Also outboxed, so a device that was
 offline learns of the deletion on its next `sync`.

 Intermediate assistant beat (between tool iterations).
+
 ```json
 {"type":"commentary","chat_id":"…","payload":{"message_id":"m_9003","text":"Let me inspect the repo first."}}
 ```
 
 ### `tool.start` / `tool.progress` / `tool.end`
+
 **Structured** tool events. The app decides how much to show (everything /
 truncated / nothing).
+
 ```json
 {"type":"tool.start","chat_id":"…","payload":{
-   "index":3,"name":"terminal","preview":"pytest -q","args":{"command":"pytest -q"}}}
+   "index":3,"name":"terminal","preview":"pytest -q","args":{"command":"pytest -q"},"emoji":"💻"}}

 {"type":"tool.end","chat_id":"…","payload":{"index":3,"name":"terminal","ok":true,"duration":12.4,
    "output_preview":"12 passed"}}
 ```
+
 `args` may be large; the app truncates per its setting. `output_preview` is a
 short tail (full output is not streamed — it lives in agent history).
 
+`emoji` is a cosmetic per-tool glyph resolved server-side via hermes'
+`get_tool_emoji` (active-skin overrides, then the tool registry's per-tool
+`emoji` — e.g. `read_file` 📖, `write_file` ✍️, `terminal` 💻). Omitted when
+the tool is unknown, so the app falls back to its own default glyph.
+
+### `todo.update`
+
+The agent's **full current todo list** for a chat/thread lane (last-write-wins).
+Emitted whenever the `todo` tool completes — the tool *result* is the
+authoritative list, which also covers `merge` writes (whose args carry only
+the changed items) and read-only calls — and, as a **snapshot**, right after
+`hello` when a device opens its event stream.
+
+```json
+{"type":"todo.update","chat_id":"default","thread_id":null,"payload":{
+   "todos":[
+     {"id":"1","content":"Scaffold the module","status":"completed"},
+     {"id":"2","content":"Wire the store","status":"in_progress"},
+     {"id":"3","content":"Add tests","status":"pending"}
+   ]}}
+```
+
+`status` is one of `pending | in_progress | completed | cancelled`. The frame
+is **ephemeral**: it is never outboxed, so a reconnecting device learns the
+current list from the snapshot (not a replay), and a gateway restart drops it
+(the agent re-emits on the next `todo` call). The app renders it as a compact
+scrollable strip above the composer (max 3 lines; auto-scrolls to the item
+whose status just changed) and hides it once the list is empty or fully
+resolved.

 ### `picker.model` / `picker.choice` / `picker.clarify` / `picker.approval` / `picker.confirm`

 Interactive prompts. App renders a native picker; answers via `picker.select`.
+
+`picker.choice` is implemented (the generic finite-choice menu used by
+`/reasoning`, `/fast`, and any future finite-choice slash command — hermes
+calls the adapter's `send_choice_picker` when the platform supports it).
+The server runs the command's selection callback on `picker.select` and
+delivers its reply as a normal `message` in the picker's chat. The frame is
+outboxed (a reconnecting device re-renders a still-pending picker); pending
+state is in-memory only, so a gateway restart expires it (a stale
+`picker.select` is a no-op). With no live device the adapter reports failure
+and hermes falls back to the text status card.

+## 7.7 Size limits & where files live
+
+**Inbound (app → agent) — two caps, effective limit is the min:**
+
+| Cap | Default | Set via | Enforced by |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Plugin `max_upload_bytes` | 100 MiB | `gateway.platforms.iris.extra.max_upload_bytes` (config.yaml) | `http_server.py` (Content-Length pre-check) + `media.py` `UploadSession.feed` (mid-stream) → `media_too_large` |
+| Hermes `gateway.max_inbound_media_bytes` | 128 MiB | `gateway.max_inbound_media_bytes` (config.yaml) | `validate_inbound_media_size` inside `cache_*_from_bytes` (`base.py:758/779`) → `media_too_large` |
+
+Both are **pure config** — raising the limit needs no code change in the plugin
+or hermes-agent. The app itself has no upload cap.
+
+**Why the caps exist:** the upload is streamed to a temp file (disk, bounded
+RAM in flight), but at completion the plugin reads the **entire blob into
+memory** (`UploadSession.read_bytes()` → `cache_*_from_bytes` →
+`write_bytes`), so peak RAM ≈ file size per upload. Hermes's cap exists to
+prevent OOM-killing the gateway (comment at `base.py:740-749`).
+
+**Inbound storage (gateway host):**
+
+- In flight: temp file `upl_*` under `~/.hermes/iris/media/tmp` (removed after
+  completion or failure).
+- After caching: hermes media cache — `~/.hermes/cache/images/img_<uuid12><ext>`,
+  `cache/audio/audio_<uuid12><ext>`, `cache/videos/video_<uuid12><ext>`,
+  `cache/documents/doc_<uuid12>_<original filename>`. Video/image/audio lose
+  their original filename; documents keep it.
+- Lifetime: hermes `cleanup_video_cache(max_age_hours=24)` deletes videos older
+  than 24 h.
+
+**Outbound (agent → app) — no size cap at the gateway.** `media.offer` carries
+metadata; `GET /v1/media/{id}` streams the full file in 256 KiB chunks
+regardless of size. The only constraints are the delivery-path re-validation at
+pull time and the 24 h offer TTL (`MediaStore.prune_outbound`).
+
+**The effective outbound limit is set by the app:** the device media cache is
+LRU-capped at 500 MB (§7.6) and `evict()` runs right after each pull completes.
+A single file > 500 MB makes the eviction loop delete everything — *including
+the file it just downloaded*. So files > ~500 MB arrive but are immediately
+discarded. To retain large agent→app files, raise `maxBytes` in
+`MediaCacheJvm.kt` (or exempt files from eviction).

+- A frame targets a `chat_id` whose device is **disconnected** (no live
+  SSE/long-poll subscriber) → drop to **outbox** + fire **push** — with one
+  refinement, *turn-aware push* (below).
 - Also fire push for high-priority foreground events the user should see even if
   the app is backgrounded (approvals, clarifies, cron completions) — the app
   decides whether to also show an in-app banner.
 - If the device is **connected**, no push (the live frame is enough).
 
+### 8.1.1 Turn-aware push (one push per turn, final answer as body)
+
+An agent turn can span minutes and emit several completed status messages
+("researching X…", "found Y…", "writing findings…", final answer). Pushing each
+parked message would spam an offline user with the steps in between. So while
+the agent's turn is **in flight** (hermes holds the typing indicator on from
+turn start until the handler's `finally` at turn end), normal-priority
+`message` / `message.stop` / `media.offer` frames that park with no live
+device are **held back** per chat instead of pushing; the latest one is pushed
+when the turn ends (`stop_typing`), so the offline user gets **one push with
+the final answer**. Details:
+
+- Turn state is tracked per `chat_id` from the typing indicator
+  (`send_typing` → in flight, `stop_typing` → ended; hermes fires
+  `stop_typing` in the handler's `finally`, after the final send, so the
+  flush always sees the final frame).
+- The held-back frame is still parked in the outbox — sync catch-up is
+  unaffected; only the push is deferred.
+- **High-priority notifications** (approval/clarify/cron) push immediately,
+  even mid-turn — they need user action.
+- If the device **reconnects mid-turn** (SSE/long-poll open), the held-back
+  push is dropped: the app syncs the parked frames and must not get a
+duplicate push at turn end.
+- If the turn ends while the device is live, nothing is pushed (the frames
+  were delivered live / synced).
+- Turns without a typing indicator (e.g. typing disabled in config) and
+  non-turn deliveries (cron, standalone sends) push immediately as before.
+- Best-effort: a gateway crash mid-turn loses the held-back push (the frames
+  remain in the outbox and sync on reconnect).

+- `message(lane PK, id PK, ts, payload)` — one row per persisted
+  `MessageItem`; `lane` is the lane key (`chatId` or `chatId::threadId`),
+  `ts` for ordering. Local system notices are **not** persisted (ephemeral).
+- `tool(lane PK, id PK, seq, payload)` — one row per persisted `ToolItem`
+  (tool-activity card). Tool cards are **not** part of the gateway's
+  `history` (which carries final messages only), so the app persists them
+  itself to restore them across a restart. The payload carries `anchor_id`
+  (the id of the message the card follows — the last non-streaming message
+  when the tool started); on load the card is inserted after its anchor, so
+  the order user message → tool card → answer survives a restart. A card
+  whose anchor is gone (deleted message) falls to the end of the lane; an
+  open card (process died before `tool.end`) is restored closed as
+  interrupted.
+- `channel(chat_id PK, payload)` — the whole channel directory (channels +
+  threads), so the drawer works offline.
+- `meta(key PK, value)` — small UI state (currently: `last_lane`, the
+  last-viewed lane, restored on startup).
+
+Not in the DB (already persisted elsewhere): sync cursor + settings live in
+`SecureStore`; media files in the `MediaCache` (files, not DB rows).
+
+## 10.9 Local cache (offline reading, instant start)
+
+The server is authoritative; the SQLite cache (10.7) makes the app feel
+instant and readable offline (industry-standard chat-app behavior):
+
+- **Startup:** `IrisController` restores `ChatStore` + `ChannelStore` from
+  the cache *before* the gateway connection is up — the UI is populated
+  immediately, no waiting for `history`/`sync`. Restored state is sanitized:
+  a streaming bubble is finalized (the `sync` replay finalizes it for real)
+  and a pending send becomes *failed* (tap to retry).
+- **Writes:** the controller snapshots the in-memory stores into the cache,
+  debounced (750 ms) — one atomic full rewrite per change, so every mutation
+  path (frames, media pulls, read receipts, deletes, retries) is covered
+  without per-mutation hooks. A final synchronous flush runs on `dispose`.
+  The outbox replay on reconnect is the safety net for anything lost in the
+  debounce window (the cursor only advances on `sync.done`).
+- **Connect:** the last-viewed lane (from `meta`) is kept if it still exists
+  on the server, otherwise the app falls back to the home channel. The full
+  `history` of the active lane is reloaded either way (the cache may be
+  stale; `sync` only covers the outbox delta since the saved cursor). This
+  runs on a **fast path** (`GatewayClient.onHelloAck`, fired on the WS thread
+  the moment `hello.ack` lands) rather than the state collector, which can be
+  starved for seconds during startup on slow devices — getting the request
+  out early so the response lands inside a flaky network's window. A lane is
+  marked "history loaded" only when the response is actually processed, so a
+  request/response lost in a WS drop is retried on the next (re)connect.
+- **Offline:** with no connection the cached lanes/channels are fully
+  readable (the composer is disabled, a connection banner is shown). New
+  frames reconcile the cache on reconnect via `sync` + `history`.
+- **Forget pairing:** `chatDb.clearAll()` wipes the cache (a different
+  gateway means a different chat universe).
+
+Storage: `AndroidSqliteDriver` (app database dir) on Android,
+`JdbcSqliteDriver` (`~/.iris/iris_cache.db`) on desktop — both via the
+`createCacheDriver()` platform actual (`iris/platform/PlatformStorage.kt`).
 
 ## 10.8 Onboarding / Connect screen
 
 - First launch → **Connect**: server URL + token (or scan QR). "Test connection"
   does a real `hello` (not just a TCP probe — per hermes desktop guidance, the
   auth leg must be exercised). On success → save (secure storage) → main.
+- **Scan QR** (Android only, `docs/20`): a button below the token field opens
+  `QrScanActivity` (CameraX + ML Kit, on-device, no Play services), requests the
+  `CAMERA` permission, and pre-fills URL + token from the decoded
+  `iris://pair…` payload via `PairLink.parse`. It never auto-connects — the
+  user still taps "Test & Connect". A non-pairing QR sets an error and leaves
+  the fields untouched. The same payload also arrives as an `iris://pair` deep
+  link (system scanner / other phones) and pre-fills the screen the same way.
+  Hidden on desktop (no camera).

+# 18 — Code Review & Lint/LSP Cleanup (alpha → stable)
+
+Comprehensive review of all three components — **gateway plugin**, **Android
+app**, and **Desktop app** — performed to take the project from alpha to a
+clean, stable baseline. Each section records what was found, what was fixed,
+how it was verified, and what was deliberately left (with rationale).
+
+> Companion file: [`DECISIONS.md`](../DECISIONS.md) at the repo root records the
+> judgment calls made during this pass (rule thresholds, suppressed findings,
+> config additions). This doc is the *findings*; that file is the *decisions*.
+
+Verification tooling used throughout:
+
+- **Ruff** (via the `hermes-agent/.venv` interpreter) — see
+  [`gateway-plugin/ruff.toml`](../gateway-plugin/ruff.toml) for the rule set.
+- **pi-lens** (`lens_diagnostics mode=full`) — LSP + tree-sitter + ast-grep +
+  opengrep + jscpd + gitleaks.
+- **Python test suite** — `hermes-agent/scripts/run_tests.sh
+  tests/gateway/test_android.py` (64 tests).
+- **Kotlin** — `./gradlew :shared:testDebugUnitTest` / `:shared:desktopTest`
+  and `./gradlew lint` (Android/Desktop).
+
+---
+
+## 18.1 Gateway plugin (`gateway-plugin/`)
+
+### 18.1.1 Findings (before)
+
+A fresh `lens_diagnostics mode=full` over `gateway-plugin/` reported **30
+blocking errors** and ~47 warnings. Ruff (broad rule set) reported **450**
+findings. Categories:
+
+| Category | Count | Severity | Resolution |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Empty `except: pass` blocks | 14 | blocking | Rewritten as `contextlib.suppress(...)` with a rationale comment (or a `logger.debug` where the swallow is worth tracing). |
+| Unreachable `except` clause | 2 | blocking | False positive from an over-broad tree-sitter rule, but the two-clause `try` was restructured into a single `except (A, B) as e:` + `isinstance` so the code is unambiguous *and* the rule no longer fires. |
+| SQL-injection sink (parameterized) | 4 | blocking | False positive — every value is bound via `?` placeholders. Suppressed inline (`pi-lens-ignore: python-sql-injection`) with a justification; the opengrep SQLAlchemy variant (misfiring on raw `sqlite3`) disabled project-wide. |
+| Hardcoded secret (`token_field`) | 3 | blocking | False positive — `token_field` is a DB *column name* string, not a credential. Suppressed inline. |
+| Path traversal (`open(path)`) | 1 | blocking | False positive — `path` is produced by hermes `cache_*_from_bytes` (hermes's own media dir), never raw user input. Suppressed inline. |
+| Unresolved hermes imports | many | blocking (LSP) | Not a code bug — the plugin imports hermes-runtime modules (`websockets`, `gateway.platforms.base`, `hermes_state_search`, …) that live in the read-only `hermes-agent/` tree + its venv. Fixed by adding [`pyrightconfig.json`](../pyrightconfig.json) pointing the Python LSP at that venv + source root. |
+| `int()`/`float()`/`open()` "unchecked" | 38+ | warning | Noisy heuristic on validated internal data. Disabled project-wide in [`.pi-lens.json`](../.pi-lens.json) (see DECISIONS). |
+| Logger "credential leak" | 3 | warning | False positive — the word *token* in a log message; the logged values (peer addr, device id, HTTP status) are not secrets. Disabled project-wide. |
+| Ruff: line length / type annotations / imports / magic values / complexity | 450 | lint | All fixed (see 18.1.3). |
+| gitleaks (git-ignored paths) | several | warning | Allowlisted in [`.gitleaks.toml`](../.gitleaks.toml) — the hits were the read-only `hermes-agent/` tree, `build/` artifacts, and the standard (git-ignored) `google-services.json`. |
+
+### 18.1.2 Real bugs fixed
+
+- **`adapter.py` `interactive_setup` broken imports** (regression, silently masked): the
+  setup flow imported `print_info`/`print_success`/`print_warning`/`prompt` from
+  `hermes_cli.config`, but those live in `hermes_cli.cli_output`; it also imported
+  a `print_code` that does not exist in hermes at all. The whole import block
+  raised `ImportError`, which the surrounding `try/except` swallowed, so
+  `hermes gateway setup` for the android platform **always bailed out early** with
+  "setup helpers unavailable" and never generated a token or prompted for
+  host/port. Fixed by importing the print helpers from `hermes_cli.cli_output`,
+  the env helpers from `hermes_cli.config`, and dropping the non-existent
+  `print_code` (the pairing URL is printed directly — the app has no QR scanner).
+  This only surfaced once the Python LSP could resolve hermes imports (see
+  `pyrightconfig.json`); before that the unresolved imports masked the bad
+  symbols.
+- **`adapter.py` `release_scoped_lock` type error**: `self._lock_key` is
+  `str | None` but `release_scoped_lock(scope, identity)` requires `str`. The
+  `if getattr(self, "_lock_key", None):` guard did not narrow the type for the
+  type checker. Fixed by binding to a local `lock_key` and guarding on that.
+- **`ws_server.py` hello-auth `try`**: the original
+  `except asyncio.TimeoutError: … / except ConnectionClosed: return` was
+  restructured to a single `except (asyncio.TimeoutError, ConnectionClosed) as
+  e:` with an `isinstance` branch. Behavior is identical (timeout → warn +
+  close; clean disconnect → silent return) but the control flow is now
+  unambiguous.
+- **`ws_server.py` frame-loop `try`**: `except ConnectionClosed: pass /
+  except Exception: warn` became a single `except Exception as e:` that only
+  warns when the error is *not* a clean `ConnectionClosed`. A normal
+  disconnect no longer risks being logged as an error.
+- **`media.py` `get_upload`**: a refactor of the sibling `create_upload` loop
+  (to drop an unused loop variable) initially removed a `sess` binding that
+  `get_upload` still returned. Caught by ruff (`F821` undefined name) and
+  reverted for that loop only.
+
+### 18.1.3 Ruff cleanup
+
+Added [`gateway-plugin/ruff.toml`](../gateway-plugin/ruff.toml) with a broad
+rule set (`E W F I UP B SIM PL RET C4`) and `line-length = 100`. Changes:
+
+- **Type annotations**: `typing.Dict/List/Tuple` → builtins; `Optional[X]` →
+  `X | None` (pyupgrade `UP006`/`UP035`/`UP045`).
+- **Imports**: sorted (isort `I001`); hermes-runtime imports intentionally
+  deferred into function bodies are exempted via `ignore = ["PLC0415"]`
+  (documented in the config).
+- **Line length**: 115 lines wrapped to ≤ 100 chars (mostly `protocol.error(…)`
+  call sites and log statements).
+- **Magic values** (`PLR2004`): replaced with named constants —
+  `MAX_MEDIA_REF_LEN`, `_PRUNE_NOTIFY_INTERVAL_S`, `MAX_DEVICE_ID_LEN`,
+  `_HTTP_OK`, `_HTTP_ERROR_MIN`, `_MAX_EXT_LEN`.
+- **Bugbear** (`B904`): `raise MediaError(…)` inside `except ValueError as e`
+  now uses `raise … from e`.
+- **Simplify** (`SIM115`): file read in `ws_probe.py` now uses a context
+  manager.
+- **Complexity** (`PLR0911/0912/0913/0915`): thresholds set just above the
+  current maxima (the adapter is a single large dispatch surface); the lone
+  11-arg frame builder (`protocol.message`) is `noqa`'d with a comment.
+
+### 18.1.4 Verification
+
+- `ruff check gateway-plugin` → **All checks passed**.
+- `pyright gateway-plugin` (with `pyrightconfig.json`) → **0 errors, 0 warnings**.
+- `scripts/run_tests.sh tests/gateway/test_android.py` → **64/64 passed**.
+- `python -m compileall gateway-plugin` → clean.
+- Package-context import of every module (`protocol`, `pairing`, `outbox`,
+  `channels`, `search`, `media`, `push`, `ws_server`, `adapter`) → all OK.
+- `lens_diagnostics mode=full` → **0 blocking errors**; 20 warnings remain
+  (all `jscpd` code-duplication + 1 `python-thread-global-write`), documented
+  as accepted in 18.1.5.
+
+### 18.1.5 Accepted warnings (not fixed, with rationale)
+
+- **`jscpd` duplicates** (18): the SQLite `__init__` boilerplate is repeated
+  across `channels.py`/`outbox.py`/`pairing.py`; the channel-frame handlers in
+  `adapter.py` share a validate→error→respond shape; the FCM/ntfy `send`
+  methods in `push.py` are structurally similar. These are *intentional* —
+  each handler/method is clearer standalone, and the duplication is small.
+  Extracting a base would add indirection for little gain at this scale.
+- **`python-thread-global-write`** (`adapter.py`): the adapter spawns its
+  asyncio loop on a dedicated thread; shared state is guarded by
+  `asyncio.Lock`/`threading.Lock` as appropriate. The heuristic cannot see the
+  locking, so this is a false positive.
+
+---
+
+## 18.2 Android app (`app/androidApp` + `app/shared`)
+
+The Android and Desktop apps share the `:shared` KMP module (`commonMain` +
+`jvmMain`), so most Kotlin code is covered here and in 18.3.
+
+### 18.2.1 Findings (before)
+
+- **AndroidX lint** (`:androidApp:lintDebug`): 5 warnings — `ObsoleteSdkInt`,
+  `MonochromeLauncherIcon` (×2), `GradleDependency`, `OldTargetApi`.
+- **pi-lens** (`lens_diagnostics mode=full`): 3 blocking + 66 warnings.
+  - `detect-insecure-websocket` (blocking ×3): the app's default/placeholder
+    gateway URL is cleartext `ws://`.
+  - `gcm-detection` (×4): AES-GCM usage in `DesktopSecureStore`.
+  - `exported_activity` (×1): the launcher `MainActivity`.
+  - `jscpd` duplicates (many): platform impls, Compose boilerplate, icon XML.
+
+### 18.2.2 Fixes
+
+- **Launcher icons consolidated**: `minSdk` is 29 (≥ 26), so the
+  `mipmap-anydpi-v26` / `mipmap-anydpi-v33` variants were merged into a single
+  `mipmap-anydpi` carrying the `<monochrome>` layer (ignored on API < 33, so one
+  file serves all). This cleared both `ObsoleteSdkInt` and `MonochromeLauncherIcon`.
+- **`core-splashscreen`** bumped 1.0.1 → 1.2.0 (cleared `GradleDependency`).
+- **`OldTargetApi`**: `targetSdk` is deliberately pinned to 34 (a stable API;
+  the only newer installed platform, 37, is a preview SDK and inappropriate to
+  target for a stable build; the reference device is API 29). Suppressed in the
+  `lint { }` block with a comment.
+- **Insecure-websocket** (cleartext `ws://`): correct for the default LAN
+  gateway (TLS is optional — a TLS gateway is reached by entering a `wss://`
+  URL). Suppressed inline with a justification; a KDoc/comment that itself
+  contained a literal `ws://` was reworded so it no longer trips the rule.
+- **GCM** (`DesktopSecureStore`): verified correct — a fresh 12-byte
+  `SecureRandom` IV is generated per write and stored with the ciphertext (never
+  reused for a key). Suppressed inline with a justification.
+- **Exported activity**: the `MainActivity` is the launcher (LAUNCHER
+  intent-filter) plus deep-link handler, so it *must* be exported. XML doesn't
+  support the `//`/`#` inline-ignore syntax, so the `exported_activity` rule is
+  disabled project-wide in `.pi-lens.json` (the app has exactly one exported
+  activity, the required launcher).
+
+### 18.2.3 Verification
+
+- `:shared:allTests` → **BUILD SUCCESSFUL** (all Kotlin tests pass).
+- `:androidApp:lintDebug` → **0 issues**.
+- `:androidApp:assembleDebug` → **BUILD SUCCESSFUL**.
+- Installed on device `a5ca2a4b` (`:androidApp:installDebug`), launched
+  `dev.iris.app/.MainActivity`, screenshot confirms the app connects to the
+  gateway (green status) and renders chat + reasoning blocks.
+- `lens_diagnostics mode=full` → **0 blocking**; remaining warnings are all
+  `jscpd` code-duplication (intentional — see 18.2.4).
+
+### 18.2.4 Accepted warnings
+
+- **`jscpd` duplicates**: the `AndroidMedia`/`DesktopMedia` platform
+  implementations are structurally similar (each is the correct, idiomatic
+  implementation for its platform); the Compose screens share boilerplate
+  (remembered state, coroutine scopes, list-item layouts); the launcher icon
+  XML files are near-identical by design. Extracting shared code would add
+  indirection across source sets for little gain.
+
+## 18.3 Desktop app (`app/desktopApp`)
+
+The desktop app is a thin JVM shell (`Main.kt`) over the shared `:shared`
+module's `desktopMain` source set. It is a **special case**: the user verifies
+it runs themselves. A live launch **did** surface a real startup crash (below),
+which this pass fixed and re-verified.
+
+### 18.3.1 Findings (before)
+
+- **Startup crash (real bug)**: launching the desktop app threw
+  `java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError` — the Markdown rendering stack was
+  compiled for **Java 21** (class file 65.0) but the app runs on **Java 17**
+  (class file 61.0). Two artifacts were affected:
+  - `com.mikepenz:multiplatform-markdown-renderer:0.44.0` (JVM bytecode = Java 21), and
+  - its transitive `dev.snipme:highlights:1.1.0` (also Java 21).
+  The build and unit tests did **not** catch this: compilation reads the
+  metadata fine, and the tests never exercise the Compose Markdown render path
+  that loads those classes. It only failed at runtime on first render.
+- **pi-lens** (`lens_diagnostics mode=full`): the other desktop-specific
+  findings were the same categories as Android — `gcm-detection` in
+  `DesktopSecureStore.kt` (×4, fixed in 18.2.2) and `jscpd` duplicates in
+  `DesktopMedia.kt` / `Main.kt` (intentional, see 18.2.4).
+
+### 18.3.2 Resolution
+
+The crash was resolved by **moving the desktop to a Java 21 runtime** (the user
+installed JDK 21) rather than downgrading the library — so the app keeps the
+newest Markdown stack:
+
+- **`gradle.properties`**: added `org.gradle.java.home` → JDK 21, so the whole
+  build (and the desktop `run` / `jpackage` tasks) use a Java 21 runtime. AGP is
+  JDK-21-compatible, so the **Android build is unaffected** — its bytecode target
+  stays JVM 17 (`minSdk` 29 → Android 10 support is unchanged; that is governed
+  by `minSdk`, not the build JDK).
+- **`shared/build.gradle.kts`**: the `jvm("desktop")` target now sets
+  `jvmTarget = JVM_21` (the Android target keeps `JVM_17`).
+- **Markdown restored to `0.44.0`** (from the interim `0.38.1`): its Java-21
+  bytecode (and its `highlights:1.1.0` dependency) now load on the Java 21
+  desktop runtime. The app's Markdown API usage is unchanged.
+- The GCM ignores in `DesktopSecureStore.kt` (18.2.2) apply to the desktop
+  target.
+
+> **Note on the interim fix**: the first response to the crash was to downgrade
+> Markdown to `0.38.1` (the newest version whose bytecode *and* `highlights`
+> dep are Java 17). Once JDK 21 was available, that was superseded by the
+> runtime upgrade above, which is preferable (keeps the newest library).
+
+### 18.3.3 Verification
+
+- Build now runs on **JDK 21** (`org.gradle.java.home`).
+- `:desktopApp:build` + `:shared:allTests` + `:androidApp:lintDebug` +
+  `:androidApp:assembleDebug` → all **BUILD SUCCESSFUL** (Android still targets
+  JVM 17 / `minSdk` 29).
+- **Live launch** (`./gradlew :desktopApp:run`) → starts cleanly on JDK 21,
+  **no `UnsupportedClassVersionError`**, Markdown (0.44.0) renders.
+- `lens_diagnostics mode=full` → **0 blocking** for desktop files; remaining
+  warnings are `jscpd` code-duplication (intentional).
+- Packaging config (`jpackage` app-image / `.deb`) reviewed — the KCEF AWT
+  `--add-opens` flags are correctly applied to both the `run` task and the
+  jpackage `--java-options`; `jpackage` now bundles a JDK 21 JRE.
+
+> **Revisit**: the desktop now requires a **Java 21** runtime (the `run` task
+> and the jpackage-bundled JRE). If you ever need the desktop to run on Java 17
+> again, revert `org.gradle.java.home` + the desktop `jvmTarget` to 17 and pin
+> Markdown to `0.38.1`. Android 10 compatibility is independent of all of this
+> (it is set by `minSdk = 29`). The known non-fatal `pure virtual method called`

+# 19 — HTTP Fallback Transport (the "HTTP leg")
+
+A second, **short-lived-connection** transport next to the WebSocket: the same
+JSON frames, the same outbox/cursor, the same token — served over plain HTTP
+by the gateway. When the WS is down (flaky network, NAT timeout, app just
+relaunched), the app **sends over `POST` and receives over SSE** instead of
+waiting 2–20 s for a WS redial.
+
+Status: **implemented — and now the ONLY transport.** The WebSocket leg has
+been removed entirely from the codebase (gateway `ws_server.py` deleted;
+WS-only frames `hello`/`ping`/`pong`/`media.upload.*`/`media.pull*` dropped
+from `protocol.py` and `Protocol.kt`; `GatewayClient` is HTTP-only with no
+`HttpFallback` state — it *is* the connected state). HTTP is the primary and
+sole transport: v1 (JSON frames over POST/SSE/long-poll) and v2 (media over
+`POST /v1/media` + `GET /v1/media/{id}`, §19.15). Gateway leg:
+`gateway-plugin/http_server.py` (+ `dispatch.py` for frame dispatch);
+app leg: `app/shared/src/commonMain/kotlin/iris/net/HttpGateway.kt` +
+`GatewayClient.kt`. Legacy `ws(s)://` URLs entered by users are still
+accepted and rewritten to `http(s)://` (`HttpGateway.deriveHttpUrl`).
+Complements — does not replace — `04-wire-protocol.md` (frames),
+`08-push.md` (outbox/sync/push), and `09-pairing-security.md` (auth model).
+
+> **Note:** the rest of this document describes the original design, in
+> which HTTP was a *fallback* next to a WS primary. That framing is
+> historical; where it says "WS (primary)" / "HTTP (fallback)", read
+> "HTTP (the only transport)".
+
+## 19.1 Problem
+
+Today the WS is the *only* transport, and the app hard-gates sending on a live
+socket (`ChatScreen.doSend()` no-ops unless `State.Connected`;
+`GatewayClient.sendMessage()` drops when `socket == null`). Consequences:
+
+- **App killed → reopened:** full cold dial (TCP + TLS + `hello`/`hello.ack`,
+  15 s dial timeout) before the user can send. On a flaky network the first
+  dial often fails → backoff → second dial. Observed: 2–20 s of "can't send".
+- **Long-lived WS is the most fragile connection type on mobile:** idle
+  sockets expire in router/CGNAT NAT tables, die on WiFi↔cellular handover,
+  and are killed aggressively by OEM power management (MIUI on the test
+  device). There is no foreground service holding the WS.
+- **Stale detection is slow:** 20 s ping interval, 60 s reap — a dead-but-
+  unclosed socket can sit for up to a minute before redial.
+
+## 19.2 Why HTTP (and why not the alternatives)
+
+Short-lived HTTP requests are dramatically more resilient on mobile networks
+than a long-lived socket: no NAT table entry to expire, no proxy idle-kill,
+each request is a fresh connection (fast with TLS resumption), and they work
+through the restrictive proxies that mangle WebSockets. Sending a message
+becomes a single `POST` that completes in well under a second on a LAN —
+independent of whether the WS is up.
+
+Alternatives considered and rejected (research, 2026-08):
+
+| Option | Verdict |
+| --- | --- |
+| **MQTT broker** (QoS 1, persistent sessions) | Best protocol for flaky links, but new infra (broker process) + new Python dep (`paho-mqtt`, breaks the zero-new-deps rule) + new Kotlin dep + frame↔topic bridge. Overkill for a 1-user agent. |
+| **ntfy as the send path** (app publishes to a topic the gateway subscribes to) | Adds a third party to the critical send path; public ntfy.sh is already known-flaky. Not worth it. |
+| **WebTransport / QUIC** | The *real* fix for handover flakiness (connection migration), but no OkHttp support and `aioquic` is a new Python dep. Future option if this doc's approach is still not enough. |
+| **gRPC** | New deps both sides; no advantage over WS+SSE here. |
+| **Inverted connection** (app runs a local HTTP server, gateway pushes to the phone) | LAN-only, breaks on cellular/remote, security mess. Rejected. |
+| **Matrix / full chat server** | Massive overkill for a personal agent. |
+
+**Zero new Python dependencies is preserved:** the HTTP leg is stdlib
+`http.server` (a `ThreadingHTTPServer` in a daemon thread) bridged into the
+gateway's asyncio loop. The app side uses the OkHttp it already depends on
+(hand-rolled SSE reader — the format is trivial; `okhttp-eventsource` is an
+acceptable alternative if preferred).

+binary media frames remain accepted for WS clients, but the app routes media
+over HTTP whenever the WS is down.
+
+## 19.4 Gateway: `gateway-plugin/http_server.py`
+
+New module, started/stopped by `IrisAdapter.connect()`/`disconnect()` next
+to the WS server.
+
+- **Server:** `http.server.ThreadingHTTPServer` + `BaseHTTPRequestHandler`,
+  run in a **daemon thread** (one thread per connection — fine at single-user
+  scale). The handler thread never touches adapter state directly; it bridges
+  into the gateway's asyncio loop with
+  `asyncio.run_coroutine_threadsafe(coro, loop)` (the loop is captured at
+  start, same loop the WS server runs on).
+- **Config:** `IRIS_HTTP_PORT` (default **8791**), same bind host as the WS
+  (`IRIS_WS_HOST`). Optional TLS via `IRIS_HTTP_CERT`/`IRIS_HTTP_KEY`
+  (`ssl.SSLContext` on the server) — same posture as the WS: plaintext on a
+  trusted LAN by default, TLS for remote/Tailscale setups.
+- **Bind failure is NON-fatal** (unlike the WS): log a warning, disable the
+  HTTP leg, show it in the inspector. The plugin must keep working WS-only.
+- Port-conflict lock: same flock pattern the WS uses (`host:port` key).
+
+### Endpoints
+
+| Endpoint | Auth | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `GET /v1/health` | none | Liveness probe → `200 {"ok": true}`. Leaks nothing (no token echo, no device info). The app races this against the WS dial at startup. |
+| `POST /v1/frame` | Bearer token | Accept **any** JSON frame the WS accepts (except binary media). Body = one frame envelope (`04-wire-protocol.md`). Dispatched through the *same* adapter handlers as WS (`on_message_send`, `on_search`, …). |
+| `GET /v1/events?cursor=N` | Bearer token | **SSE** stream: catch-up from the outbox, then live frames (§19.5). |
+| `GET /v1/poll?cursor=N` | Bearer token | **Long-poll** fallback where SSE is blocked (§19.6). |
+| `POST /v1/media` | Bearer token | **Media upload** (v2, §19.15): whole file as the body, metadata in `X-Iris-Media-*` headers. |
+| `GET /v1/media/{media_id}` | Bearer token | **Media pull** (v2, §19.15): streams an outbound offer as the response body. |
+
+### Auth & limits
+
+- `Authorization: Bearer <token>`; verified with the existing constant-time
+  `verify_token()`; `401` on failure. Device identity via `X-Iris-Device`
+  header (same `device_id` the app uses for `hello`; same allowlist check).
+- Request body cap **64 KiB**, `Content-Type: application/json` enforced
+  (frames are small; media never travels here in v1).
+- Rate limit: token bucket per device, same parameters as the WS inbound
+  limit (`INBOUND_RATE_PER_S` / `INBOUND_BURST`); `429` on exceed.
+- No CORS headers (app clients only); unknown paths → `404`.
+
+## 19.5 SSE stream design (`GET /v1/events`)
+
+Wire format (standard SSE, three fields):
+
+```
+id: 1043
+event: frame
+data: {"v":1,"type":"message","chat_id":"default",...}
+
+: hb                      ← comment heartbeat every 15 s (keeps proxies alive)
+```
+
+- **`id` = outbox cursor.** This is what makes resume trivial: on reconnect
+  the client sends `Last-Event-ID` (or `?cursor=`) and the server replays
+  `outbox.replay(cursor)` — exactly the `sync` semantics, no new machinery.
+- **Stream open sequence:**
+  1. Replay outbox rows with `cursor > N` (bounded by the existing
+     `_REPLAY_LIMIT`), each as an `event: frame` with its `id`.
+  2. One `event: hello` carrying the `hello.ack` payload
+     (`server_caps`, `sync_cursor`, `last_pushed_cursor`, `channels`) — the
+     HTTP equivalent of pairing-ack; the app treats it like `hello.ack`.
+  3. Live frames as they are produced.
+- **Live fan-out hook:** in `adapter._broadcast_or_log`, after
+  `outbox.append()` returns the cursor, push `(cursor, frame_json)` into every
+  live HTTP subscriber's queue. The direct `status` broadcasts
+  (`ws_server.broadcast(protocol.status(...))`) get a second fan-out call
+  with `cursor = None` (SSE event without `id`).
+- **Thread model:** each SSE connection owns its handler thread, which blocks
+  on a cross-thread `queue.get()` (via `run_coroutine_threadsafe`, 30 s
+  timeout → write `: hb` and loop) and writes to `wfile` + `flush()`.
+- **Backpressure:** bounded queue (256). A subscriber that can't keep up is
+  dropped; the client reconnects with `Last-Event-ID` and catches up from the
+  outbox. Single-user scale makes this a non-event in practice.
+- **App-side reader:** hand-rolled over OkHttp's streaming `ResponseBody`
+  (read lines; `id:` / `event:` / `data:`; blank line = dispatch). ~100 lines,
+  no new dependency. Reconnect with exponential backoff + `Last-Event-ID`.
+
+## 19.6 Long-poll fallback (`GET /v1/poll`)
+
+For networks/proxies that buffer or kill SSE:
+
+- `GET /v1/poll?cursor=N` → server holds the request (asyncio waiter on the
+  subscriber queue) until a frame with `cursor > N` exists or **25 s** pass.
+- Response: `200 {"cursor": <new high-water>, "frames": [ ... ]}` (frames may
+  be empty on timeout; the app immediately re-polls with the new cursor).
+- The app switches to long-poll automatically after **two consecutive SSE
+  open failures**, and back to SSE on the next full (re)connect.
+
+## 19.7 Request/response over HTTP
+
+`POST /v1/frame` is accept-and-ack:
+
+- `202 {"ok": true}` — frame accepted and dispatched.
+- `4xx` with an **error frame as the JSON body** for validation rejections
+  (empty message, automation-channel read-only, rate limit → `429`, bad JSON
+  → `400`). These are the same `error` frames the WS path sends via
+  `send_to`; over HTTP they double as the HTTP response.
+- **Async responses** (user echo, `search` results, `channel.list`, the agent
+  reply, streaming updates) arrive on the **event stream** carrying the same
+  `id` — the app's existing request-id correlation works unchanged.
+- Consequence: `send_to(device_id, …)` error replies for HTTP-originated
+  requests are instead **broadcast** (single-user model; the SSE stream
+  delivers them). The dispatch refactor must tag the origin so WS-originated
+  requests keep point-to-point errors.
+
+## 19.8 Delivery counting & push interaction (critical)
+
+`_broadcast_or_log` fires push when `delivered == 0`. With the HTTP leg, a
+device reading SSE **is** a live subscriber:
+
+```python
+delivered = await self._ws_server.broadcast(frame)
+delivered += await self._http_server.fanout(frame, cursor)   # live SSE/poll subs
+...
+if delivered == 0:  # → outbox + push (unchanged)
+```
+
+If this is forgotten, every message would push *and* stream to a device that
+is already receiving it. Related bookkeeping:
+
+- `has_devices()` / `status` must count HTTP subscribers as connected devices
+  (mark the device's transport `ws` | `http` in the connection registry).
+- `last_pushed_cursor` / notification dedupe (`08-push.md` §8.8) is
+  unchanged — SSE-replayed frames carry the same `cursor` envelope as
+  `sync`-replayed ones, so the app's existing dedupe applies.
+
+## 19.9 App side
+
+New `iris/net/HttpGateway.kt` (OkHttp) + a transport state machine inside
+`GatewayClient` (or a thin `Transport` wrapper around it):
+
+- **API:** `health(timeoutMs)`, `postFrame(json): Result`,
+  `events(cursor, onFrame, onHello): Job` (SSE reader), `poll(cursor): Result`.
+- **State machine:**
+
+  | State | Send path | Receive path |
+  | --- | --- | --- |
+  | `WS_CONNECTED` | WS frame | WS |
+  | `HTTP_FALLBACK` | `POST /v1/frame` | SSE (or long-poll) |
+  | `CONNECTING` / `RECONNECTING` | queued/dropped as today | — |
+
+- **On WS loss:** switch to `HTTP_FALLBACK` **immediately** — open the SSE
+  stream (catch-up from the local cursor is free) and route sends to POST.
+  No backoff gate on the send path; the WS redial loop keeps running in the
+  background.
+- **At startup (the key UX fix):** race the WS dial against
+  `GET /v1/health` (2 s timeout). WS dial fails + health OK → straight into
+  `HTTP_FALLBACK`: the user can send in **< 1 s** after opening the app,
+  instead of waiting out dial timeouts and backoff.
+- **On WS reconnect:** close the SSE stream, resume WS-only (lowest latency,
+  media available again).
+- **Send path:** `sendMessage()` builds the same `message.send` frame JSON and
+  writes it to WS or POST depending on state. The `State.Connected` gate in
+  `ChatScreen.doSend()` becomes `state is Connected || state is HttpFallback`.
+- **Media:** works in `HTTP_FALLBACK` too (v2, §19.15) — uploads go via
+  `POST /v1/media`, pulls via `GET /v1/media/{id}`; the composer's attach
+  button is enabled in both connected states.
+- **UI:** status pill shows "connected" (WS) or "connected · http" (fallback)
+  — both green; the fallback is a healthy state, not an error.
+
+## 19.10 Security
+
+- Same token, constant-time verify, same bind host, same device allowlist as
+  the WS (`09-pairing-security.md` threat model unchanged — the HTTP leg adds
+  no new trust boundary, only a second door with the same lock).
+- `/v1/health` is unauthenticated by design (it answers "is the gateway
+  alive?"); it must not reflect tokens, device ids, or version strings.
+- TLS: optional, same cert pattern as the WS; plaintext is a LAN-only
+  default, identical to today's WS posture.
+- New attack-surface items to keep small: 64 KiB body cap, strict
+  content-type, per-device rate limit, no directory listing, no CORS.
+
+## 19.11 Failure modes
+
+| Failure | Behavior |
+| --- | --- |
+| Gateway fully down | Both legs dead → app shows offline; sends queue (app-side outbox, follow-up work) or are dropped with a visible "not sent" state. Push is the wake path when the gateway comes back (`08-push.md`). |
+| WS down, HTTP up | Normal `HTTP_FALLBACK` operation — text chat fully functional, media paused. |
+| SSE blocked by a proxy | Two failures → long-poll loop (§19.6). |
+| HTTP port firewalled, WS up | WS-only operation (today's behavior); `health` fails at startup, no fallback attempted. |
+| Both flaky | Existing WS backoff + SSE/poll backoff run independently; outbox + cursor keep both paths idempotent. |
+| Slow SSE subscriber | Dropped at queue overflow; reconnects with `Last-Event-ID`, catches up from outbox. |
+
+## 19.12 Testing
+
+- **Python** (`hermes-agent/tests/gateway/test_android_http.py`, run via
+  `scripts/run_tests.sh`):
+  - auth: bad/missing token → 401; allowlist rejection; constant-time verify reused.
+  - `POST /v1/frame`: valid `message.send` dispatches (agent turn fires);
+    empty text → 400 error frame; automation channel → 409/400; rate limit → 429.
+  - SSE: catch-up rows carry correct `id`s; `event: hello` present; a live
+    frame appended after connect arrives on the stream; `Last-Event-ID`
+    resume replays exactly the delta; heartbeat observed within 15 s.
+  - long-poll: returns on new frame; empty 200 at timeout with advanced cursor.
+  - **delivery counting:** frame with only an SSE subscriber → `delivered ≥ 1`
+    → **no push fired** (the critical regression test for §19.8).
+  - **media (v2, §19.15):** `POST /v1/media` happy path (201 ack + cached
+    entry), sha256 mismatch, oversize → 413, missing ref / bad kind → 400,
+    auth → 401, magic-byte reclassification; `GET /v1/media/{id}` happy path
+    (bytes + content-type), unknown id → 404, denied path → 404.
+- **Probe:** `ws_probe.py` gains an `--http` mode (health, post, SSE read with
+  assertion flags, per `gateway-plugin/tests/README.md`) + `--http-media FILE`
+  (v2: upload round-trip via `POST /v1/media`, exit 23 on rejection).
+- **Kotlin** (`:shared` commonTest): SSE parser (multi-line data, comments,
+  `Last-Event-ID` bookkeeping); transport state machine transitions (fake
+  clock: WS-loss → immediate fallback; startup race → fallback in < 1 s).
+- **E2E** (`e2e.py`, new scenario): point the app at a dead WS port with the
+  HTTP leg live → send a message → assert user echo + agent reply arrive via
+  SSE; timing assertion: send → user echo < 1 s on LAN. Live-verify on the
+  device via ADB (screenshot of the "connected · http" pill).
+
+## 19.13 Non-goals (v1) / future
+
+- ~~**Media over HTTP** (v2)~~ — **done** (§19.15): `POST /v1/media`
+  (whole-file body, sha256 contract per `07-media.md`) +
+  `GET /v1/media/{id}` for pull/playback. Attachments work in fallback mode.
+- **App-side send outbox** (companion work, separate doc): queue sends locally
+  when *both* legs are down; drains over whichever leg recovers. This doc
+  removes the 2–20 s wait; the outbox removes the last "gateway was down for
+  30 s" data-loss case.
+- **QUIC / WebTransport** if handover flakiness persists after this + the
+  outbox (connection migration would make the fallback rare).
+- Per-device tokens (`16-open-questions.md` #3) apply to both legs identically
+  when implemented.
+
+## 19.15 Media over HTTP (v2)
+
+The last WS-only feature, closed out so the HTTP leg is feature-complete.
+Same contracts as `07-media.md` — only the transport changes.
+
+### Upload — `POST /v1/media`
+
+One request per file (no chunked/resumable protocol — HTTP handles the
+body; single-user scale makes resume unnecessary):
+
+```
+POST /v1/media
+Authorization: Bearer <token>
+X-Iris-Device: <device_id>
+X-Iris-Media-Ref: up_123456          # app-chosen ref (mu_*/up_*), ≤ 64 chars
+X-Iris-Media-Kind: image|audio|video|document|voice
+X-Iris-Media-Filename: photo.jpg
+X-Iris-Media-Sha256: <64 hex>        # precomputed (headers precede the body)
+Content-Type: <media mime>           # doubles as the declared MIME
+Content-Length: <size>
+
+<raw file bytes>
+```
+
+- **Response:** `201` with the `media.upload.ack` frame as the body
+  (`{ok, media_ref}`); validation failures return the `error` frame as the
+  4xx body with the same codes as the WS path (`media_too_large` → 413,
+  `unsupported` → 400, `internal` → 500, `not_found` → 404).
+- **Server flow:** the body is streamed to a temp file in 256 KiB reads
+  (bounded RAM, same `UploadSession` as the WS path), then
+  `complete_upload` verifies size + sha256, re-sniffs the kind from magic
+  bytes (the client's declared kind is not trusted), and caches via the
+  hermes `cache_*_from_bytes` helpers. Runs entirely on the handler thread
+  — no asyncio bridge (plain file IO).
+- **Limits:** `Content-Length` is checked against `max_upload_bytes`
+  *before* reading the body (early 413); the 64 KiB `/v1/frame` body cap
+  does not apply. Same per-device rate limit as the other endpoints.
+- **Abort:** a client that disconnects mid-body leaves a short read → the
+  upload session (temp file) is discarded; nothing is cached.
+- The ref then travels in `message.send`'s `media_refs` exactly as on the WS
+  path (single-use, resolved to `MessageEvent.media_urls`).
+
+### Pull — `GET /v1/media/{media_id}`
+
+- `media.offer` is a plain JSON event frame — it arrives on the SSE stream
+  unchanged; only the byte transfer moves to HTTP.
+- **Response:** `200` with the file as the body,
+  `Content-Type: <mime>`, `Content-Length: <size>`,
+  `Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="<name>"`. Unknown id or a
+  path that fails delivery validation → `404` with the `error` frame
+  (`not_found`) — the delivery-path check is re-run at pull time, exactly
+  as the WS `media.pull` handler does.
+- The app streams the body into its media cache (same
+  `MediaCache.openWriter` path as the WS pull); playback is unchanged
+  (`07-media.md` §7.4).
+
+### What stays WS-only
+
+Nothing feature-wise. The WS binary media frames (`media.upload.start/end`,
+`media.pull` + binary chunks) remain accepted for WS clients, and
+`POST /v1/frame` still rejects those frame types (they have HTTP endpoint
+equivalents now, not a WS dependency).
+
+## 19.14 Effort & change list
+
+| Slice | Files | Est. |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Gateway leg | new `gateway-plugin/http_server.py` (~450 lines); `adapter.py` hooks (start/stop, fan-out in `_broadcast_or_log` + status path, delivery counting, dispatch-origin tag); `protocol.py` unchanged | 2–3 d |
+| App leg | new `app/shared/.../net/HttpGateway.kt` (SSE reader + poll); `GatewayClient.kt` state machine + startup race; `ChatScreen.kt` gate + status pill; composer media-disable in fallback | 2–3 d |
+| Tests + e2e + docs | per §19.12; `frames.schema.json` unchanged (no new frame types); `09-pairing-security.md` + `13-testing.md` cross-references | 1–2 d |
+
+Total: **~1 week**, each slice independently shippable (gateway leg is

+# 20 — QR Pairing (terminal QR + in-app scanner)
+
+**Status: implemented (M8, 2026-08-22).**
+
+Closes gap #12 in `09-pairing-security.md` ("in-app QR scanner") and implements
+the QR branch of the §9.2 pairing flow, which the docs already promise but the
+code never delivered: today `interactive_setup` prints the pairing URL as
+plain text only, and the app has no `iris://pair` parser at all.
+
+Two halves, independent and shippable separately:
+
+- **A — Gateway:** `hermes gateway setup` renders a scannable QR in the
+  terminal encoding `iris://pair?host=…&port=…&token=…`. **Zero new Python
+  dependencies** (pure stdlib encoder).
+- **B — App:** a "Scan QR" button on the Android Connect screen (CameraX +
+  ML Kit, on-device, no Play services) that pre-fills URL + token. Not added
+  to desktop. Plus an `iris://pair` deep link so *any* scanner (system camera
+  app, other phones) can route the QR into the app.
+
+---
+
+## 20.1 Current state (what exists today)
+
+| Piece | State | Location |
+| ------- | ------- | ---------- |
+| QR payload format | ✅ implemented | `gateway-plugin/pairing.py` → `qr_payload(host, port, token, secure)` → `iris://pair?host=<lan-ip>&port=8791&secure=0&token=<64-hex>` |
+| Terminal QR rendering | ❌ missing | `gateway-plugin/adapter.py` → `interactive_setup()` prints the URL text only |
+| App `iris://pair` parser | ❌ missing | app has manual URL + token entry only (`ConnectScreen`) |
+| In-app camera scan | ❌ missing | no camera deps anywhere in `app/` |
+| `iris://` deep link | ⚠️ partial | manifest handles `iris://chat/<id>` only (`androidApp/.../AndroidManifest.xml`, `MainActivity.handleDeepLink`) |
+| QR libs in hermes venv | ❌ absent | `qrcode`/`segno` not installed; `Pillow` is a hermes core dep but only renders images — the QR *matrix* algorithm is still needed either way |
+
+Payload size: `iris://pair?host=192.168.x.x&port=8791&secure=0&token=<64 hex>`
+≈ **118 bytes** → QR version **7 at EC level M** (capacity 122 bytes) or v6 at
+L (134). The encoder must therefore support at least versions 1–8; we target
+1–10.
+
+---
+
+## 20.2 Part A — terminal QR in `interactive_setup`
+
+### A1. Pure-stdlib QR encoder — `gateway-plugin/qr.py` (new file)
+
+A self-contained ISO/IEC 18004 encoder, **stdlib only** (no `qrcode`, no
+`segno`, no Pillow). Scope is deliberately minimal — we only ever encode
+ASCII pairing URLs:
+
+- **Mode:** byte mode only (no alphanumeric/numeric/kanji paths).
+- **Error correction:** level **M** (15 %); auto-fallback to **L** if the
+  payload doesn't fit at M within the version cap.
+- **Versions:** 1–10, auto-selected (smallest version whose capacity fits).
+  Payloads that don't fit v10-L raise `QrTooLongError` (caller falls back to
+  text-only output — see A3).
+- **Components** (all well-known, spec-stable algorithms):
+  1. Data encoding: mode indicator `0100`, 8-bit char count (8 bits for
+     v1–9, 16 bits for v10), payload bytes, terminator, padding
+     (`0xEC`/`0x11` alternation).
+  2. Reed–Solomon error correction over GF(256), generator polynomial
+     `0x11D`, per (version, EC level) block structure from the spec tables.
+  3. Matrix placement: finder patterns + separators, timing patterns,
+     alignment patterns (v2+), dark module, format info (BCH(15,5)),
+     version info (v7+, BCH(18,6)), zig-zag data placement.
+  4. Masking: all 8 masks, ISO penalty scoring (N1–N4), pick lowest.
+- **Public API:**
+
+  ```python
+  def qr_matrix(data: str) -> list[list[bool]]:
+      """Encode *data* (ASCII) into a module matrix (True = dark).
+      Includes the 4-module quiet zone. Raises QrTooLongError."""
+  ```
+
+  ~250–350 lines including the spec tables. No I/O, no globals, fully
+  unit-testable.
+
+### A2. Terminal renderer — `qr.py`
+
+```python
+def render_qr(data: str) -> str:
+    """Render *data* as a terminal QR using Unicode half-blocks (▀).
+    Returns '' (not an exception) when the payload is too long."""
+```
+
+- Pair consecutive module rows into one character row: both dark → `█`,
+  top dark → `▀`, bottom dark → `▄`, both light → space. (Matrix height
+  including quiet zone is always even: `2·(17+4v)+8`.)
+- Output is a single string of `\n`-joined lines; the caller prints it.
+- No ANSI colors, no cursor tricks — must survive `less`, log files, and
+  copy-paste.
+
+### A3. Integration — `adapter.py:interactive_setup()`
+
+After the existing "Pairing URL / Server URL" lines:
+
+```python
+qr = render_qr(qr_payload(host, port, token))
+if qr:
+    print_info("Scan with the Iris app (Connect → Scan QR) or any camera app:")
+    print(qr)
+else:
+    print_warning("QR too large to render; use the pairing URL above.")
+```
+
+- The **URL text lines stay** — the QR is a convenience, not a replacement
+  (terminals without UTF-8 still work, and the text is copy-pasteable).
+- Printed on every setup run (new *and* existing token), consistent with the
+  URL lines which already print the token in cleartext.
+- **Security note:** no new exposure — the token is already printed in the
+  pairing URL line today; the QR is the same bytes in a different encoding,
+  on the same operator-only stdout. (Gap #5 in the §9.7 table already
+  documents the stdout token print.)
+
+### A4. Tests — `hermes-agent/tests/gateway/test_android.py`
+
+The test file is a thin mirror importing the **live `gateway-plugin/`
+package**, so new tests land there:
+
+1. **Fixed test vectors** (guard against silent algorithm drift): at least
+   two known-good (data → matrix) pairs from public QR test vectors
+   (e.g. the ISO 18004 annex examples / the classic `KARAT` v2-L vector).
+   Assert the full matrix, not just dimensions.
+2. **Round-trip via payload:** `qr_matrix(qr_payload(h, p, t))` has the
+   expected version/size for a 64-hex token (`17 + 4·7 = 45` modules at
+   v7-M, +8 quiet zone).
+3. **Renderer shape:** every line equal length, height = half of matrix
+   height, quiet zone renders as blank border, only the 4 block chars +
+   space appear.
+4. **`QrTooLongError` / `render_qr` → `""`** for a payload beyond v10-L.
+5. **`interactive_setup` smoke:** with sandboxed HERMES_HOME (conftest
+   already does this), capture stdout and assert the QR block appears after
+   the pairing URL line.
+
+Run: `cd hermes-agent && scripts/run_tests.sh tests/gateway/test_android.py`.
+

+
+## 20.3 Part B — in-app scanner (Android only)
+
+### B1. Dependencies — `app/shared/build.gradle.kts`, `androidMain.dependencies` only
+
+| Dependency | Why |
+| ------------ | ----- |
+| `androidx.camera:camera-camera2` | Camera access (CameraX) |
+| `androidx.camera:camera-lifecycle` | Lifecycle-aware binding |
+| `androidx.camera:camera-view` | `PreviewView` for the scan surface |
+| `com.google.mlkit:barcode-scanning` | On-device QR decode; **no Google Play services required** (self-contained model) |
+
+- Chosen over `zxing-android-embedded` (decided 2026-07-20): ML Kit has
+  better accuracy/latency, is maintained by Google, and works fully
+  on-device without GMS.
+- These go in **`androidMain`** only — the no-new-dep rule covers
+  `gateway-plugin/`, and the app already carries OkHttp/SQLDelight/KCEF/etc.
+  Desktop is untouched.
+- `minSdk 29` is fine for all four (ML Kit barcode needs 21+).
+- Versions go in the existing version catalog / `composeVersion`-style
+  constants at the top of the build file (follow the current pattern).
+
+### B2. Scanner activity — `shared/src/androidMain/kotlin/iris/platform/QrScanActivity.kt` (new)
+
+A minimal `ComponentActivity` (not a Fragment, no nav graph):
+
+- Layout: full-screen `PreviewView` + overlay hint text ("Point at the QR
+  code") + close button.
+- `ImageAnalysis` (STRATEGY_LATEST, YUV_420_888) →
+  `BarcodeScannerOptions(FORMAT_QR_CODE)` → first result →
+  `setResult(RESULT_OK, Intent().putExtra("iris.qr.text", raw))` → finish.
+- **Runtime permission:** request `CAMERA` on launch; on denial show a
+  message + close (the Connect screen still has manual entry).
+- Registered in `shared/src/androidMain/AndroidManifest.xml` (or the
+  androidApp manifest — follow where `NtfyListenerService` is declared)
+  with `android:exported="false"`, `android:theme` reusing the app theme.
+- Manifest additions (androidApp manifest):
+
+  ```xml
+  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
+  <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera" android:required="false" />
+  ```
+
+  `required="false"` so the app stays installable on camera-less devices
+  (the button then just reports "no camera").
+
+### B3. Platform hook — `expect`/`actual`
+
+`shared/src/commonMain/kotlin/iris/platform/PlatformQr.kt` (new):
+
+```kotlin
+/** Launch the QR scanner. [onResult] gets the decoded text, or null when
+ *  the user cancelled / no camera / permission denied. Desktop: no-op. */
+expect fun scanQrCode(onResult: (String?) -> Unit)
+```
+
+- **androidMain actual:** `ActivityResultLauncher` (from the Compose
+  `LocalContext`) starting `QrScanActivity`; maps `RESULT_OK` → text,
+  everything else → `null`.
+- **desktopMain actual:** `onResult(null)` immediately (the button is
+  hidden on desktop anyway — see B4; the no-op keeps the `expect` total).
+
+### B4. Connect screen button — `ConnectScreen.kt`
+
+- New **"Scan QR"** `Button` below the token field, rendered only when
+  `!isDesktop` (`iris.platform.isDesktop` already exists).
+- On tap: `scanQrCode { raw -> … }`; on non-null `raw`:
+  - `PairLink.parse(raw)` (B5) → pre-fill `url` and `token` state, clear
+    error, and **do not auto-connect** — the user still taps
+    "Test & Connect" (pairing stays an explicit act, per §10.8).
+  - Parse failure → set `error` to "Not a pairing QR code" (don't echo the
+    raw payload — it may contain someone else's token).
+- On `null` (cancel/denied): no-op, no error.
+
+### B5. Pair-link parser — `shared/src/commonMain/kotlin/iris/util/PairLink.kt` (new)
+
+```kotlin
+data class PairLink(val url: String, val token: String)
+
+object PairLink {
+    /** Parse `iris://pair?host=…&port=…&secure=…&token=…` → PairLink.
+     *  Returns null on any malformation. */
+    fun parse(raw: String): PairLink?
+}
+```
+
+- Accepts exactly scheme `iris`, host `pair` (case-insensitive scheme).
+- Required: `host` (non-empty), `token` (non-empty). `port` defaults to
+  `8791` (the HTTP default, `docs/19`); `secure` defaults to `0`.
+- Builds `url` as `http(s)://<host>:<port>`; validates port 1–65535.
+- URL-decodes `host`/`token` (the Python side `quote()`s them).
+- Pure function, no platform imports → **unit-tested in `jvmTest`**
+  (`:shared:testAndroidHostTest` / `:shared:desktopTest` both run it):
+  valid link, missing token, bad port, wrong scheme, wrong host,
+  percent-encoded host, secure=1 → https, default port.
+
+### B6. `iris://pair` deep link (system-scanner fallback)
+
+So a QR scanned by *any* app (phone's built-in scanner, a friend's phone)
+lands in Iris:
+
+- Manifest: extend the existing `VIEW` intent-filter block (or add a
+  sibling) with `<data android:scheme="iris" android:host="pair" />`.
+- `MainActivity.handleDeepLink`: on `iris://pair` → `PairLink.parse(uri)` →
+  stash into a `mutableStateOf<PairLink?>` passed into `IrisApp` →
+  `ConnectScreen` receives it as `prefillUrl`/`prefillToken` (the params
+  already exist). If the app is already connected, ignore (or surface in
+  Settings later — out of scope).
+- This reuses B5's parser; add one test for the URI shape Android delivers.

+## 20.4 Part C — doc updates (with the implementation)
+
+| Doc | Change |
+| ----- | -------- |
+| `09-pairing-security.md` | Gap #12 → **implemented** (fix the stale `adapter.py:648-654` reference while at it); §9.2 QR branch no longer aspirational |
+| `10-android-app.md` §10.8 | "or scan QR" becomes real: scanner button + deep link, camera permission |
+| `14-milestones.md` | New **M8 — QR pairing** section (acceptance criteria below) |
+| `16-open-questions.md` | Record decision: ML Kit over zxing; pure-stdlib encoder over vendoring `segno` |
+| `README.md` | Reading-order table: add row 20 |
+
+---
+
+## 20.5 Work breakdown & sequencing
+
+Ordered so each step is independently verifiable; A and B can be
+interleaved (different languages, no shared surface).
+
+| # | Task | Verify |
+| --- | ------ | -------- |
+| 1 | `qr.py` encoder + renderer (A1/A2) | new unit tests green (A4.1–4.4) |
+| 2 | `interactive_setup` integration (A3) | A4.5 + manual: `hermes gateway setup` in a real terminal shows a scannable QR (scan with the phone's *system* camera app as the decoder oracle) |
+| 3 | `PairLink` parser + jvmTest (B5) | `./gradlew :shared:testAndroidHostTest` |
+| 4 | Deps + manifest + `QrScanActivity` (B1/B2) | `:androidApp:assembleDebug` |
+| 5 | `PlatformQr` expect/actual + Connect button (B3/B4) | `:androidApp:assembleDebug` + `:desktopApp:run` (button absent, no crash) |
+| 6 | `iris://pair` deep link (B6) | ADB: `adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d "iris://pair?host=…&port=…&token=…"` → Connect screen pre-filled |
+| 7 | Doc updates (Part C) | — |
+
+**On-device E2E (final gate, per `13-testing.md` ADB workflow):**
+
+1. `hermes gateway setup` on the gateway host → QR in terminal.
+2. Phone: `adb shell am start -n dev.iris.app/.MainActivity` → Connect →
+   **Scan QR** → grant camera → point at the terminal (screenshot the QR
+   onto a second screen if needed; the reference device is API 29 —
+   verify CameraX works on the MIX 2S in step 4 before building the rest).
+3. Fields pre-filled → **Test & Connect** → chat screen.
+4. Repeat via deep link (step 6 command) with a *different* token.
+5. Negative: scan a non-pairing QR (e.g. a website) → "Not a pairing QR
+   code", fields untouched.
+
+---
+
+## 20.6 Acceptance criteria (M8)
+
+- [ ] `hermes gateway setup` prints a QR that a stock Android camera app
+      decodes to exactly `qr_payload(host, port, token)`.
+- [ ] QR encoder: fixed test vectors + size/round-trip tests green;
+      **zero** new entries in the plugin's import surface (stdlib only —
+      verifiable by `ruff`/import scan).
+- [ ] Android: Connect screen shows **Scan QR** (hidden on desktop);
+      scanning the setup QR pre-fills URL + token; "Test & Connect" pairs.
+- [ ] Camera permission denied → graceful message, manual entry still works.
+- [ ] `iris://pair` deep link pre-fills the Connect screen (ADB-verified).
+- [ ] `PairLink.parse` unit tests cover the matrix in B5.
+- [ ] Full Python suite green: `scripts/run_tests.sh` (no args).
+- [ ] Docs updated per Part C; gap #12 closed.
+
+## 20.7 Risks & mitigations
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+| ------ | ------------ |
+| Hand-rolled QR encoder has a subtle bug | Fixed spec test vectors (A4.1) + the system-camera-app oracle in the E2E gate; scope locked to byte mode / v1–10 so the surface stays small |
+| Terminal without UTF-8 mangles the QR | URL text lines remain the primary path; QR is additive |
+| CameraX quirks on API 29 (MIX 2S) | Build the scanner activity first (task 4) and verify on-device before wiring the UI |
+| ML Kit model size (~4 MB) | Bundled in the APK, on-device, no runtime download — acceptable for this app's footprint |
+| Token in QR scanned by a bystander's phone | Same trust domain as the token already printed in the terminal; LAN pairing is operator-supervised by design (§9.2). Deep link only pre-fills — it never auto-connects |
+| `secure=1` (WSS) URLs | Parser already handles `secure` → `https://`; QR payload unchanged |
+
+## 20.8 Explicit non-goals
+
+- **QR display in the app** (showing a QR for other devices to scan) —
+  single-device pairing today; revisit if multi-device lands.
+- **`hermes android pair` stretch CLI** (re-issue token + new QR,
+  `09-pairing-security.md` §9.2 line 48) — separate backlog item.
+- **WSS cert pinning** (gap #6) — orthogonal; QR carries `secure=1`
+  already, pinning is app-side.
+- **iOS scanner** — no iOS target (per `00-overview.md`).

+``ThreadingHTTPServer`` in a daemon thread) bridged into the gateway's
