v2.7.4 "Pocket": the mobile apps survive what a phone does to them - #552
Conversation
The first two Rust-bridge items of v2.7.4, from the frontend audit (docs/audits/frontend-audit-report.md §2.2, §2.4). `rustynes-mobile` is shared by the Android and iOS hosts, so both platforms get both fixes. MOB-01 -- input waited on the frame lock `NesController` kept the per-port masks inside `Mutex<Inner>`, the lock `run_frame` holds for a whole frame, a netplay rollback (up to 7 frames re-simulated), a Lua `on_frame` callback and a RetroAchievements evaluation. `set_buttons` / `set_button` / `buttons` took the same lock, so a touch or gamepad event on the UI thread waited out whatever the emulation thread was doing. The masks are now `[AtomicU8; 4]` on the controller, outside the lock: `set_buttons` is a store, `set_button` a single `fetch_or` / `fetch_and` (so a press and a release racing on two threads cannot lose a bit), `buttons` a load. `latch_input` copies them into the core under the lock immediately before each frame runs, and before `pre_tick_movie`, so movie playback still overrides live input and recording captures what the frame consumes. That latch point is where a lock-waiting call used to land, so emulated input timing is unchanged. The Android triage for this release found the same residual from the Kotlin side (AND-07): event handlers only call in on a mask change, but each change still blocked on this mutex. This closes it without touching Kotlin. Red first: `input_does_not_wait_for_the_frame_lock` holds the lock itself and calls `set_buttons` / `set_button` / `buttons` from another thread; on the old code the call timed out after 2 s. `held_input_reaches_the_core_at_the_next_frame` pins the latch. Mutations: no latch in `step_frame` (caught); `set_button` as a load-then-store instead of an atomic RMW (caught). One step was removed rather than kept: `load_state` used to re-apply the masks to the core after a restore. With every frame latching first, that re-apply was unobservable -- removing it left every test green, because nothing emulates in between -- so it is gone, with a comment at the site, and `load_state_preserves_held_input` now also checks the core has the held button after the next frame. MOB-02 -- ROM buffers were not size-checked `decompress_rom` bounded zip entries at 16 MiB but returned any non-zip buffer unchecked, and the core then copies the whole buffer (`rom_bytes`) and splits it into PRG and CHR. The cartridge loader ignores trailing bytes, so a VALID image padded to any size loaded. `check_rom_size` now refuses a buffer over `MAX_ROM_BYTES` (16 MiB, hoisted to module level and shared with the zip bound) in both `NesController::new` and `load_rom`, before `decompress_rom`. The caller's own buffer already exists at that point; this stops the copies after it. Red first: `a_rom_over_the_size_cap_is_refused_at_the_bridge` pads `tiny_nrom()` to 16 MiB + 1 and loaded on the old code. Mutations: no check in `new` (caught), `>` as `>=` (caught by the exactly-at-cap case). Verification: `cargo test -p rustynes-mobile --lib` 30 passed, 0 failed; clippy `-D warnings` and fmt clean. docs/android.md records both.

MOB-05 / AND-09 of the frontend audit, and the mobile half of FE-01: the
bridge exposed no battery RAM at all, so neither the Android nor the iOS app
could keep an in-game save across a relaunch. The desktop gained `.sav`
persistence in v2.7.3; this is the shared Rust half for mobile. The Kotlin and
Swift halves that write the file follow in this release.
API (`NesController`, UniFFI-exported, so both hosts get it):
- `has_battery()` -- the header's battery bit. Same rule as the desktop: the
save RAM slice is not the question, because NROM, MMC1 and MMC3 expose work
RAM whatever the header says.
- `battery_ram()` -- a copy of the save RAM, or empty without a battery. No
dirty flag: the host compares with what it last wrote, as the desktop does.
- `load_battery_ram(bytes)` -- load a `.sav` before the first frame. Refused,
with nothing copied, when the cartridge has no battery or the length is not
its save size; a partial copy would mix two saves.
- `MobileError::Battery { reason }`, appended last. No Kotlin or Swift code
matches `MobileError` exhaustively (checked), so the generated enums grow
without breaking a host build.
Keying: each host already stores save states per ROM, so the `.sav` goes beside
them under the same key and the bridge needs no key API. That settles the
v2.7.3 carry-over question for mobile without changing either host's layout.
Tests (red as a compile error, the API not existing):
`a_battery_save_round_trips_through_the_bridge` (a synthetic NROM with the
battery bit writes $6000 every frame; a fresh controller takes the bytes back),
`a_cart_without_a_battery_has_nothing_to_persist`,
`a_battery_save_of_the_wrong_size_is_refused` (0, 8191 and 8193 bytes; RAM
unchanged). Four mutations, each caught: the export ignoring the battery gate,
the import ignoring it, the import copying nothing, and the size check removed.
Verification: `cargo test -p rustynes-mobile --lib` 33 passed; clippy clean.

…read MOB-04 of the frontend audit (report §2.5): `SignalingClient::drop` (rustynes-netplay) and `HttpTransport::drop` (rustynes-cheevos) closed their channel and then joined the worker unconditionally. A worker blocked on the network held the dropping thread until the network gave up: the signaling worker's WebSocket handshake runs under the 10 s `CONNECT_TIMEOUT`, and the RA HTTP worker's requests under a 30 s global timeout. On mobile that thread is the UI thread leaving a netplay screen or logging out; on the desktop it is the winit thread. The audit named both sites correctly. Both now call `join_or_detach(worker, 100 ms)`: join if the worker finishes within the grace period, otherwise drop the handle, which detaches the thread. The grace covers the normal case -- an idle signaling worker notices the closed channel within one 20 ms read timeout, an idle HTTP worker is parked in `recv` and exits at once -- so only a worker stuck on the network is left to finish on its own. Why detaching is safe, per site, since that is what a reviewer should check: - signaling: the worker owns its socket and its halves of both channels, both already closed from our side; it exits when the handshake or read returns and touches nothing the caller frees. - RA HTTP: the worker owns its `ureq` agent and the request. It never calls the rcheevos callback; only `poll_completions` does, on the caller's thread, from a receiver dropped with `self`. So a late response is simply discarded. The audit suggested an explicit acknowledgement protocol with a deadline; the bounded `is_finished` poll is that, without a new channel. Red first: `dropping_the_client_does_not_wait_for_a_silent_relay` points a real `SignalingClient` at a local listener that accepts and never answers; `drop` took 10.06 s on the old code and 0.30 s of test time now (the 200 ms before it is the test letting the worker reach the handshake). For the RA transport, whose worker only blocks with a live rcheevos request in flight, the helper itself is pinned: `a_busy_worker_is_detached_not_joined` (a 5 s worker is detached within the grace; a finished one is joined). Mutation there -- always join -- is caught (the test waits the full 5 s and fails). Verification: `cargo test -p rustynes-netplay` 9 suites, 103 passed; `cargo test -p rustynes-cheevos` 9 passed; clippy -D warnings clean.

MOB-08 of the frontend audit (report §8 row; `rustynes-core/src/nes.rs`). The finding is filed under mobile, but the defect is in the core, so every host had it: desktop, libretro, and both mobile apps. `Nes::restore_inner` applies a blob in stages that mutate as they go: the bus sections (BUS / PPU / APU / MAP) first, then the CPU section, then the cross-section clock check added in v2.7.0. A blob rejected at any stage after the first -- a CPU section version mismatch, a CPU body that fails to decode, a missing CPU section, a CPU/PPU clock skew -- returned `Err` with the bus already overwritten. The machine was then the blob's bus and the running game's CPU, neither state, and the next frame emulated it. The user guide's troubleshooting page already promised "the running emulator state is unchanged" on a failed load; that was false until now. Fix: the stages move into `apply_snapshot`, and a LOUD restore (`restore`, user-driven loads) snapshots the running machine first and re-applies that backup if any stage fails, then returns the original error. Our own fresh snapshot always restores -- the round-trip invariant every save-state test pins -- so the re-apply result is ignored rather than allowed to mask the real error. Deliberately NOT done for `restore_quiet`: it is run-ahead's and netplay's per-frame rollback, the hot path, and it only ever restores snapshots this core just wrote, which cannot fail these checks. A backup there would add a full snapshot per frame for no case that occurs. Rewind clearing and the debug-hooks attribution clears already ran only after success, so they need no change. The timeline-generation bump stays unconditional (its comment is updated: a failed loud restore no longer leaves a discontinuity, so the bump costs a consumer one telemetry reset). Red first: `a_failed_restore_leaves_the_machine_untouched` takes a snapshot at frame 1, runs to frame 4, then restores the frame-1 blob with its CPU section version decremented (the existing stale-slot fixture). On the old code the machine's snapshot afterwards differed from before the attempt. Mutations, all caught: no backup taken; backup taken but not re-applied; backup taken only on the quiet path. The success path is unchanged; AccuracyCoin, nestest and the full test-roms suite are re-run at the release gate. Verification: `cargo test -p rustynes-core --lib` 201 passed; clippy clean; `no_std` thumbv7em build clean. docs/frontend.md and the troubleshooting guide record it.

MOB-03, MOB-07 and MOB-09 of the frontend audit, plus the Rust half of FE-03 and AND-06. The headline is that MOB-03 was worse than the audit said. MOB-03 -- every panic killed the mobile apps The audit asked for `catch_unwind` on the hand-written JNI (`rustynes-android`) and C-ABI (`rustynes-ios`) entry points, assuming UniFFI's generated methods were already protected. Neither held in shipped builds: the Android `.so` and the iOS static library are built `--release`, and the workspace `release` profile sets `panic = "abort"`. Under abort nothing reaches a catch -- not the guard the audit proposed, and not the `catch_unwind` UniFFI wraps each exported method in -- so any panic anywhere in the bridge terminated the app with no auto-save and no error report. - New `[profile.release-mobile]`: `release` plus `panic = "unwind"`. Used by Gradle's `cargoNdkBuild`, `android.yml`, and `scripts/build-ios-xcframework.sh` (including every `target/<triple>/release/` path, now `release-mobile/`). Desktop, libretro and wasm keep `release` and its abort. - `rustynes_mobile::catch_ffi_panic` runs a body under `catch_unwind` and returns the panic message; each shim's `guarded(entry, fallback, body)` logs it and returns a harmless value (a null handle, a dropped frame, 0). All 6 JNI entries and all 14 C-ABI entries are wrapped (counted, not assumed). Cost, measured on arm64 (`cargo ndk`, both builds of this tree): librustynes_android.so 11.64 MB -> 13.74 MB (+18%) librustynes_mobile.so 6.21 MB -> 7.32 MB (+18%) Frame time, criterion `nes_run_frame_nestest_fast`, interleaved A/B on one host: abort 3.947 / 3.936 ms, unwind 3.949 / 3.940 ms -- +0.04% to +0.08%, noise. So the price is size, not speed. Reverting is one line in Cargo.toml. Verification: `catch_ffi_panic` has a host unit test. The Android shim compiled under `release-mobile` via Gradle's cargo-ndk step (both ABIs). The iOS shim cannot be compiled here (the vendored C needs an Apple SDK, and PR CI never builds iOS -- only the tag-triggered `ios.yml` does), so `ffi.rs` was type-checked on Linux in a scratch crate that includes the real file via `#[path]` against stubs of `gfx_metal` / `audio` (the real `audio_dsp`); 9 tests passed there, one calling a wrapped entry. The real Metal/CoreAudio modules remain uncompiled until the maintainer's iOS build. MOB-07 -- a recovered poison was silent Poisoning only became reachable with unwind: a panic in a method holding `inner` is now caught by UniFFI and leaves `Inner` possibly half-updated. `NesController::lock` used to take the state and carry on. It now ends any netplay session (the peers are simulating a game this one may have left mid-frame), queues `HostWarning::RecoveredFromInternalError`, and clears the poison so the warning fires once per panic. It does not power-cycle: that would throw away unsaved progress without asking. The new variant needed the host sides in the same change, because both match `HostWarning` exhaustively: Kotlin `hostWarningText` + `host_warning_recovered_from_internal_error` (EN, ES), Swift `warningText` + a `Localizable.xcstrings` entry (EN, ES). `recovering_from_a_panic_ends_netplay_and_warns_once` poisons the lock with a real panic; three mutations caught (silent recovery, poison not cleared, netplay surviving). MOB-09 -- TURN DNS under the frame lock `np_host_room` / `np_join_room` ran `to_nat_config`, which resolves the TURN host, while holding `inner`, stalling the emulation thread's next frame for as long as DNS took. It now runs before the lock. `NatConnect` construction stays under it, so a concurrent `load_rom` cannot swap the ROM under the session's hash. Not under test: a test cannot make DNS slow deterministically; the order is verified by reading. (The Android callers already use Dispatchers.IO; the iOS callers are on the main actor and are fixed in the Swift tier.) FE-03 and AND-06 (docs) FE-03 (report §2.1, raw handles dereferenced as `&mut` across threads) was REFUTED on both platforms by tracing every caller: all Android native calls on a handle come from its one `nes-gl` render thread; all iOS calls are on the main thread. Both shims now document that invariant and that it rests on the host convention, and the Android `nativeDestroy` SAFETY comment no longer claims the Kotlin side nulls a field (the handle is a local). AND-06: the manifest, module docs, `docs/android.md` diagram and (by dated amendment) ADR 0024 claimed an AAudio sink and focus listener that were never built; audio is Kotlin's `AudioTrack`.

The Android tier of the v2.7.4 frontend audit line (AND-01..05, 08, 09),
triaged against the code before any change; the per-item verdicts go in the
frontend ledger. AND-07 needed no Kotlin change (its residual was the bridge
mutex, fixed by MOB-01); AND-06 was documentation, fixed with the Rust tier;
AND-10 is recorded as won't-fix (trim callbacks do not change the low-memory
killer's score, which the audit claimed).
AND-09 -- battery saves (the mobile half of FE-01)
`Battery.kt`: `BatteryStore` puts the save at `filesDir/battery/<rom-sha256>.sav`
(the save-state key), and `BatterySaver` applies the desktop's rules: only a
battery cartridge, size checked from metadata BEFORE reading, a wrong-size or
unreadable file never loaded and never overwritten that session, "clean" means
equal to the last write. The `.sav` is loaded before the first frame and before
the auto-resume state (which is newer and restores cartridge RAM too). It is
compared once a second from the loop with the write on Dispatchers.IO (at most
one in flight), and written synchronously in the background save, on close, and
on dispose. On a ROM switch the outgoing save is written AFTER the new
controller is swapped in: the loop no longer runs the old one, so its RAM is
final, and the write never blocks the UI thread.
AND-05 -- non-atomic writes
`writeAtomic` over `androidx.core.util.AtomicFile` (side file, fsync, rename;
`failWrite` on any error) now backs save-state slots, RA progress, the recents
list and the battery save -- and `GameLibrary` / `GameConfig` too, which the
audit did not name but hold user data (favourites, box art, per-game filters)
behind the same truncating `writeText`. The androidx class is plain Java, so the
tests run the real thing.
AND-04 -- main-thread I/O
`loadRom` split into `prepareRom` (the stream read, the hash, the `.sav` and
auto-state loads, the persistable grant, the recents and library writes) on
Dispatchers.IO, and `publishRom` (swap in, per-game filter) on Main, via one
`openRom` helper for all four entry points; the SAF display-name query moved to
the I/O side too. The save-slot sheet reads its timestamps and thumbnails in one
`produceState` on IO, and its Save / Load / Delete run there. The background
save in `onPause` stays synchronous on purpose: the process may be frozen or
killed as soon as it returns.
AND-03 -- running and playing in the background
The Activity pauses emulation in `onStop` and resumes in `onStart` only what it
paused, so a game the player paused stays paused. Keyed on STOP, not PAUSE:
picture-in-picture calls `onPause` without `onStop` and must keep playing.
`AudioPlayer` now requests AUDIOFOCUS_GAIN; on a loss (transient or not) it
drops samples (the loop paces on its wall-clock floor), ducks to 0.2 on
CAN_DUCK, restores on GAIN, pauses the track and abandons focus while emulation
is paused, and re-requests focus on resume, since a permanent loss is not handed
back. Emulation is not paused for focus: a notification sound should not stop a
game.
AND-01 / AND-08 -- the render thread
Each render thread is a `Worker` with its own stop token. Before, one shared
`running` flag served all of them and `surfaceCreated` refused to start a thread
while a stalled one lived, leaving the view black until the next
background/foreground. The audit's fix ("set running = true regardless") would
have revived the old thread, bound to the dead surface. Now a new surface always
gets a new worker, which joins its predecessor before any native call (keeping
the one-native-user invariant FE-03 rests on), and only the CURRENT worker may
consume pending surface state, checked under the same lock that retires the old
one, so a retiring thread cannot steal the new surface's init. The 2 ms
sleep-poll (up to 500 wakeups a second idle) is a park with a one-frame safety
timeout; every producer unparks.
AND-02 -- recomposition
The per-frame `frame` read sat inside inline Row -> Column -> Box, so each new
frame re-ran all of `EmulatorScreen`. The picture now reads it inside
`FrameScope`, its own restart scope, and the body's idle-screen test uses a
`derivedStateOf { frame != null }` that changes only when a game opens or
closes. Deferred with the reason: skipping the per-frame bitmap pack on the GPU
path (the triage's second suggestion) would break screenshots, clips and
casting, which read that bitmap; it needs an on-demand capture path first.
Tests: the app had no unit tests. `app/src/test` + JUnit 4 +
`unitTests.isReturnDefaultValues` (so `android.util.Log` stubs return instead of
throwing). `PersistenceTest`, 7 tests: an interrupted write keeps the previous
contents and leaves no side file; the battery rules (first write, no rewrite
when unchanged, wrong size untouched, disabled never writes, and a `.sav`
symlinked to /dev/zero refused from metadata). Mutations caught: `writeAtomic`
as a plain write; always rewriting; the disable ignored; the metadata size check
removed. That last one first came back NOT CAUGHT -- `read` catches the
OutOfMemoryError a read-first provokes, so both paths returned `Unusable` -- and
the test now asserts which check refused the file.
Not under automated test, and on the maintainer's device checklist: the render
thread restart (AND-01), recomposition counts (AND-02), background pause and
audio focus (AND-03), I/O off the main thread (AND-04; StrictMode logs it in
debug builds), and the park/unpark wake (AND-08).
Verification: `./gradlew :app:testFossDebugUnitTest :app:compilePlayDebugKotlin`
BUILD SUCCESSFUL (both flavors compile; 7 tests, 0 failed).

The Rust half of the iOS tier of the v2.7.4 frontend audit line: IOS-02, IOS-03, IOS-09 and the sink side of IOS-08, plus a CI check that compiles the iOS-only Rust on Linux for the first time. Where the code went. The ring, the rate control and the channel fan-out moved into a new host-compiled module, `audio_ring.rs` (the way `audio_dsp` already is), so they are unit-tested on Linux; `audio.rs` (still `cfg(target_os = "ios")`) keeps only the cpal wiring. - IOS-02, no dynamic rate control -- CONFIRMED, though not as the audit described it. The triage found the audit's mechanism wrong (the pacing is wall-clock at 60.0988 Hz, so the ring does not "quickly fill"): what was real is that nothing steered the queue, so it sat wherever the host clock and the audio clock drifted, up to a 250 ms cap, and the first callbacks underran because playback started empty. `Producer` now runs a 4-tap Hermite resampler steered by the ring's fill (the desktop's ±1% law), holding the queue at 50 ms; `Ring` starts draining only once the target is queued and re-arms after an underrun. The resampler is the same algorithm as `rustynes-frontend/src/resampler.rs` -- this project's own code, no provenance header -- copied because the iOS crate cannot depend on the desktop frontend; the copy says so and names its twin. `rate_control_steers_the_ring_to_its_target` starts the ring empty and at 9000 samples, feeds it at exactly the nominal rate, and requires it to settle within 25% of the target; pinning the ratio at 1.0 fails it. - IOS-03, per-sample atomics in the real-time callback -- CONFIRMED, severity overstated (nanoseconds per sample). `Ring::pop_into` does one index load and one store per chunk, into a buffer the callback allocates once at stream build, never per call. A cost property with no observable output, so a mutation back to per-sample indexing is expected to pass the tests; the site says so. - IOS-09, surround channels fed the left image -- REFUTED as unreachable (cpal 0.18 always negotiates stereo on iOS, and only the DSP-enabled path was affected), fixed as hygiene: `fan_out` gives extra channels the centre. - IOS-08 (sink side): the error callback only logged. A fatal kind -- the same three the desktop reopens on, which include how cpal reports a media-services reset -- now sets a flag exposed as `rustynes_ios_audio_is_invalid` (declared in `rustynes_ios.h`, panic-guarded like every other entry); the Swift tier polls it and rebuilds the sink. Every stream build also passes a 2 s timeout instead of `None`. Mutations on `audio_ring`, all caught: rate control pinned at 1.0; the start threshold removed; no re-arm after an underrun; surround channels back to the left image. `scripts/ios-host-typecheck.sh`, run in the CI lint job. Nothing on a pull request compiled `audio.rs` or `ffi.rs` -- only the tag-triggered `ios.yml` did, and that needs an Apple SDK -- so this release's FFI guards and these sink changes would first have compiled at release time. The script generates a crate under `target/` that includes the REAL `audio_dsp.rs`, `audio_ring.rs`, `audio.rs` and `ffi.rs` via `#[path]`, compiles `audio.rs` against the real cpal (its API is the same on every backend), stubs only `gfx_metal` (wgpu/Metal, which genuinely needs iOS), and runs 16 tests including one through a wrapped FFI entry. Shown to fail: a planted `u8`/`bool` mismatch in `ffi.rs` exits 101. It cannot check `gfx_metal.rs`, or runtime behaviour on the iOS backend. Verification: `cargo test -p rustynes-ios --lib` 15 passed (8 DSP + 7 ring); `scripts/ios-host-typecheck.sh` 16 passed; clippy -D warnings clean.

The Swift tier of the v2.7.4 frontend audit line, and the Swift halves of MOB-05, MOB-09 and IOS-08. Every item was triaged against the code first (verdicts go in the frontend ledger); IOS-06, IOS-07 and IOS-09 were refuted. NONE OF THIS IS COMPILED HERE. There is no Swift toolchain on this Linux machine, and PR CI never builds iOS (only the tag-triggered ios.yml does). The changes are kept small and conventional, every UniFFI call follows the label spelling of existing calls (`loadBatteryRam(bytes:)` like `loadPalette(bytes:)`), and the project is Swift 5 mode with an iOS 17 floor (checked in project.yml). The maintainer's device checklist has to build and exercise each item before the PR merges. - MOB-05, battery saves (`BatterySave.swift`): the desktop's and Android's rules -- battery bit only, size checked from attributes before reading, a wrong-size file never loaded and never overwritten that session, atomic writes on a private serial queue. Loaded before the first frame; compared once a second (write off the main thread); written synchronously on close and on a game switch, and inside a background task when the app backgrounds. - IOS-04 (`BackgroundTask.swift`): CloudKit uploads now run in a UIKit background task, which the helper always ends -- including from the expiration handler, because a task left running past its time gets the app terminated. The triage also found the reconcile marking a slot `.synced` when the LOCAL copy was newer and had never uploaded (a suspended or failed upload); it now re-uploads it. - IOS-10: uploads used `.allKeys` (client wins), so a device holding an older save that uploaded later replaced a newer one. `performUpload` fetches the server record, skips if it is newer (reconcile pulls it), otherwise updates that record and saves with `.ifServerRecordUnchanged`, so a concurrent write from another device fails the save instead of being lost. The per-record save result is now checked; it was discarded, so a per-record failure read as success. Wall-clock timestamps still order saves, but the overwrite window is closed by the change tag. - IOS-01: the display link asked for 60-120 Hz (preferring 120) and paced the core with a 60.0988 Hz wall-clock accumulator, which hitches about every 5 s at 120 Hz and every 10 s at 60 Hz (the triage's arithmetic). It now asks for exactly 60 Hz and, when the link really runs at ~60 Hz, runs exactly one console frame per vsync (display sync). The core then runs 0.16% slow, inside the +/-1% the new sink rate control absorbs. Any other refresh keeps the accumulator. - IOS-08: a media-services reset now re-configures the session and rebuilds the sink; the core also rebuilds any sink reporting its stream dead (`rustynes_ios_audio_is_invalid`), throttled to one attempt per 2 s, re-applying the audio-depth settings. A new hardware rate cannot be matched without rebuilding the core, and is logged. The adjacent defect the triage found -- an unplugged headset paused the game until a background/foreground cycle, with no in-app way out -- is now its own pause reason, cleared by the next menu close. - IOS-05: `.defersSystemGestures(on: .bottom)` and `.persistentSystemOverlays(.hidden)` on the game view (the pad already sat above the safe area; the risk was a thumb sliding off the bottom). - IOS-11: at `.serious` / `.critical` thermal state the video filter is suspended until the device cools; the chosen filter is untouched. - MOB-09 (Swift): `NetplayModel` is @mainactor and called `npJoin`, `npHostRoom` and `npJoinRoom` synchronously, running their DNS lookups on the main thread; they now run in detached tasks and publish back on the main actor. - Found by the triage, not in the audit: opening a ROM from another app while a game ran swapped the core under a `MetalGameView` whose coordinator kept the old one (renderer already destroyed) and never started the new one -- a frozen screen. The view is now keyed to its core with `.id`. - IOS-06 (refuted; GCController's handler queue defaults to main): the queue is now set to main explicitly, since the file's own comment assumed otherwise. - The `EmulatorCore` header claimed a separate display-link thread; the handles are touched only on the main thread, which is what FE-03's safety rests on. Corrected, with that warning. docs/ios.md records all of it, including the unverified status.

The frontend ledger's AND-01..10, IOS-01..11 and MOB-01..09 rows were still "untriaged" from the v2.7.0 seeding. Each now carries a verdict, the evidence behind it, and the commit that acted on it: - Fixed and pinned by a red-first test where a test can observe it (MOB-01, 02, 04, 05, 07, 08 and the Android persistence path). - Refuted: IOS-06 (GCController.handlerQueue defaults to main and was never changed, so there was no race; set to main explicitly anyway, since the file's own comment assumed off-main delivery), IOS-07 (the display link runs on the main run loop, which drains its autorelease pool every iteration; the per-frame buffers are ARC Data and Rust Vecs), IOS-09 (unreachable: cpal 0.18 always negotiates stereo on iOS; the fan-out was fixed as hygiene with a caught mutation), and FE-03 (every caller traced: each shim's handles are driven from one thread only; the invariant is now documented in both shims). - MOB-03 recorded as worse than reported: the mobile libraries were built panic = "abort", so neither the proposed guards nor UniFFI's own could contain anything. - AND-10 won't-fix: the callbacks are indeed absent, but adding them does not change the low-memory killer's score, which depends on process state. - MOB-06 (the per-frame framebuffer copy through UniFFI) deferred to v2.7.5 with the other performance work, where it has to clear the >3% A/B bar. FE-03 is new: it is in the report's section 2.1 prose but not in its section 8 table, so the seeding missed it. A stray escaped quote in the MOB-03 row is also fixed. Also fixes a rustdoc failure in crates/rustynes-ios/src/audio_ring.rs, whose module preamble's intra-doc links to Ring, Ring::pop_into, Producer and fan_out did not resolve under `RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc --workspace --no-deps`; they are now crate-qualified paths.

The fifth release of the ADR 0041 audit line: the mobile apps survive what a
phone does to them. The fixes are the six commits before this one; this commit
is the version bump and the release documents.
- Workspace and rustynes-cosim to 2.7.4 via
scripts/release-automation/bump_release.py (every current-release anchor,
the libretro .info display version, the cosim lockfile). The nested "Built
on" chains are trimmed back to one level in AGENTS, README, SUPPORT,
VERSION-PLAN and to-dos/ROADMAP, as at every cut; OVERVIEW, SECURITY and
STATUS keep the full chain by convention.
- CHANGELOG [2.7.4], a VERSION-PLAN row (v2.7.3 loses "(current)"), the
to-dos/ROADMAP release-line tail, the ROADMAP status line, and the
maintainer-authored release-notes override that release-auto.yml publishes.
- to-dos/plans/v2.7.4-pocket-plan.md with an As-built table, and the v2.7.4
row of the line plan marked as built.
- docs/mobile-v2.7.4-device-checklist.md: 2 build steps, 12 Android and 13
iOS rows, each naming the finding it checks. It exists because of the
2026-09-22 decision that mobile work is done in all tiers and a device run
gates the merge.
What this release does NOT establish, stated here so the tag does not imply
it: no Swift in v2.7.4 has been compiled -- this machine has no Xcode and no
pull-request job builds iOS; the Android render-thread restart, audio focus,
background pause, recomposition scoping and park/unpark have no automated
test; and the iOS audio-sink rebuild and 60 Hz display sync have not run on a
device. The Rust halves are host-tested (scripts/ios-host-typecheck.sh, now a
CI step). The checklist covers each; the release notes say the same.

Correction to MOB-03 as shipped earlier on this branch: unwinding did not
keep the app open. v2.7.4 switched the mobile libraries to panic = "unwind"
so panics could be caught, and the CHANGELOG, release notes and warning text
all said that after one "the game keeps running". For the calls that matter
most, that was false.
Mechanism. UniFFI does catch a panic in every exported method, but what it
does next depends on whether the method is declared fallible. run_frame,
step_frame and np_advance_frame are not, so:
- Swift: the generated wrapper is `try! rustCall { ... }` (verified by
generating the bindings from the host library with the project's own
uniffi-bindgen 0.32.1: rustynes_mobile.swift, `open func runFrame()`).
The caught panic becomes UniffiInternalError.rustPanic, and `try!` turns
that into a crash.
- Kotlin: the wrapper throws InternalException("Rust panic"). The frame loop
in MainActivity runs in a Compose LaunchedEffect with a try/finally and no
catch, and an exception escaping a LaunchedEffect is rethrown by the
recomposer, which crashes the app (read from the code, not reproduced).
So a core panic at 60 Hz still closed both apps; the new JNI / C-ABI guards
only covered the renderer and audio shims.
Fix. NesController::contained_frame runs a frame body under
catch_ffi_panic inside the bridge. The panic unwinds out of the body, which
drops the guard and poisons the mutex; taking the lock again runs the
MOB-07 recovery (ends netplay, queues RecoveredFromInternalError once), and
that recovery now also sets a new `frozen` flag. A frozen machine runs no
further emulated cycle: run_frame returns the current framebuffer,
step_frame does nothing, np_advance_frame reports a stall. A fresh start
thaws it: load_rom, power_cycle, or a successful load_state (a whole
snapshot replaces whatever the panic left behind). Reset deliberately does
not, since it keeps most of the machine's state.
Why freeze rather than carry on: this answers the one part of agy's round-1
"silent failure" finding that held. After a panic the core may be half-way
through an update; running on from there could, for instance, let a
confused game overwrite its own battery save, which the phones now persist
periodically. Freezing keeps the RAM as the game last wrote it. The audit's
own MOB-07 remedy was a power-cycle; freezing keeps the picture on screen and
leaves the choice to the player. The warning text says so in all five
places (Rust default, Android EN/ES, Swift, xcstrings EN/ES): "RustyNES
stopped the game after an internal error. Any netplay session was ended.
Reopen the game or load a save state to continue."
Scope, deliberately: only the three frame paths are wrapped. They are the
calls that execute emulated cycles and the ones made sixty times a second,
so where a core defect surfaces. Every other exported method keeps UniFFI's
guard, so a panic there still reaches the host as an exception; the ledger
row says so.
Test: a_panic_mid_frame_freezes_the_game_instead_of_reaching_the_host, via
a cfg(test) thread-local fault injector compiled out of real builds. It
failed first (the panic escaped run_frame). Six mutations, each reverting
one piece: freeze not set, no catch, frozen check removed, and each of the
three thaws removed -- all CAUGHT. The load_rom thaw was first NOT CAUGHT
(stimulus blind): a fresh Nes reports frame 1 and its first frame does not
advance the counter, so `frame() == 1` held frozen or not. The test now
runs two frames and asserts the counter moved, as for the power cycle,
which has the same first-frame property.
Clippy: an allow for struct_excessive_bools on Inner (four independent
flags; an enum would encode combinations that are all legal).
Verified: cargo test -p rustynes-mobile 36 passed; clippy -D warnings on
rustynes-mobile/-android/-ios all targets; rustdoc -D warnings;
scripts/ios-host-typecheck.sh; fmt. The string resources parse. NOT
verified: the Swift and Kotlin sides of the new text on a device -- the
checklist's A12 row is updated to the new expectation.

Copilot round 1 on #552 made five findings; all five held when checked against the code. Three are races this branch introduced or left behind, two are documentation that now contradicts the code. 1. Android battery: a late periodic flush could overwrite the final save. The periodic job ran `saver.flushIfChanged(ctrl.batteryRam())` on Dispatchers.IO, so the RAM was read BEFORE the saver's lock. A job that read, then waited on the lock while a final flush (close, ROM switch, onStop) wrote newer RAM, then wrote its older copy over it -- losing up to a second of in-game progress in the case the final flush exists for. There is no cross-ROM mix-up (each ROM gets its own NesController and BatterySaver, and the job holds both), which I checked because it would have been the worse failure. Fix: flushIfChanged takes a reader, `() -> ByteArray`, and calls it under the lock; all three call sites pass `{ ctrl.batteryRam() }`. A late flush then reads RAM at least as new as the final one and finds it unchanged. The Rust mutex the reader takes is never held while calling back into Kotlin, so there is no lock-order cycle. New JVM test a_late_periodic_flush_does_not_overwrite_the_final_one pins the saver's contract; that each call site passes a reader and not bytes read earlier is a property of MainActivity, checked by reading it and not by the test, which says so. 2. Android render worker: `worker = next` was published before `next.thread` was assigned, and `wake()` -- called from the emulation thread by submitFrame / setFilter / surfaceChanged -- reads `worker?.thread`. Reading an unassigned `lateinit` throws UninitializedPropertyAccessException, so a frame submitted in that window crashed the loop. Fix: the Thread is constructed inside the same synchronized block, before the worker is published (the @volatile write of `worker` then publishes the assignment); it is started after the lock as before. Not under automated test (a timing window on a device thread); device checklist A7 exercises surface churn. 3. iOS netplay: the join / host-room / join-room calls moved to Task.detached in this release (MOB-09), and their completions were not tied to the game. Closing or swapping the game while a DNS lookup or relay handshake was in flight let the completion publish a session on the OLD core and start polling it, leaving an orphaned session nothing ever left. Fix: an attach/detach generation counter; each operation captures it, and a completion from a stale generation calls npLeave on the core it used (if a session came up) and publishes nothing, errors included. Swift, uncompiled here, like the rest of the iOS changes. 4. README: the paragraph after the current-release anchor still described v2.7.3 (2,698 tests; "the mobile apps still keep [battery saves] only inside a save state"). Rewritten for v2.7.4: 2,716 tests, all three hosts keep battery saves, and the device checklist named. 5. CloudSaveStateSync.swift: the file header still said uploads were force-overwrite / client-wins and that local-newer slots were already uploaded -- the exact behaviour IOS-10 and IOS-04 removed. A later edit trusting that summary could reintroduce the data loss. Rewritten to the conditional policy, with the pre-v2.7.4 behaviour named as history. Also corrected while searching for more of (4): docs/mappers.md still said "the desktop and mobile frontends do not persist cartridge battery RAM at all", which has been false for the desktop since v2.7.3; it now lists each host's `.sav` and the battery-bit gate they share. Verified: Android `:app:testFossDebugUnitTest` 8 tests, 0 failures (7 before + the new one) and `:app:compilePlayDebugKotlin`, both with the Rust build tasks excluded (no bridge API changed). Swift not compiled. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_014qfTKi2M3swo7qnwvYCkDj

path to use the release-mobile output directory, matching the Android library
build location.
In `@android/app/src/main/java/com/doublegate/rustynes/MainActivity.kt`:
- Around line 748-765: Update the ROM-loading handoff around publishRom so the
outgoing emulator loop is stopped and any in-flight periodic battery flush has
finished before prepareRom/attachBattery reads and baselines the save; flush the
outgoing controller before that read. Keep the same-SHA guard for the post-swap
flush, and use a per-save-file lock covering the SRAM snapshot and write if
separate savers can still write the same file.
- Line 2589: Wrap the complete emulation iteration in the LaunchedEffect loop in
a catch for UniFFI InternalException, including controller access and
npIsActive() before withContext; contain the panic and report the
recovered-from-internal-error warning. Ensure the panic path also runs the
existing onPauseSaveState and battery-flush handling, and drain queued warning
codes from the loop rather than only from the movie picker.
In `@android/app/src/main/java/com/doublegate/rustynes/NesSurfaceView.kt`:
- Line 109: Initialize next.thread before assigning next to worker so wake()
cannot observe an uninitialized thread; publish the initialized worker under the
lock, then start its thread after leaving the lock.
In `@crates/rustynes-ios/src/audio_ring.rs`:
- Around line 57-70: Update the public audio ring API so producer and consumer
operations cannot be called concurrently through shared references. Replace
`Ring::new`’s single shared handle with distinct non-Clone producer and consumer
handles; require mutable access for `push` and `pop_into`, keep `len` on shared
inner state, and move each handle to its respective producer or cpal callback
owner.
In `@docs/android.md`:
- Around line 118-121: Replace the unsupported “measured below” reference and
the unsubstantiated 18% size claim in the comment above the cross-compilation
instructions with a concise description that the profile keeps mobile FFI panic
guards effective.
In `@ios/RustyNES/AppModel.swift`:
- Line 882: In updateThermalState(), replace applyDisplaySettings() with a
filter-only update so thermal transitions do not reload the selected HD pack.
Add an applyFilter() helper that preserves the constrained .none filter and
otherwise applies the effective filter and shader parameters; reuse it for the
filter branch in applyDisplaySettings().
In `@ios/RustyNES/EmulatorCore.swift`:
- Around line 371-374: Update recoverAudioIfNeeded and rebuildAudioSink to track
when a rebuild fails after losing the current sink, and retry while that
lost-sink state remains true even when audio is nil. Keep the existing behavior
for audio that was never opened, and clear the lost-sink state once rebuilding
succeeds.
In `@ios/RustyNES/NetplayModel.swift`:
- Around line 122-140: Add a shared operation generation for the native npJoin,
npHostRoom, and npJoinRoom flows, incrementing it on leave and when a newer
session operation starts; under the native state lock, verify the captured
generation before installing a session. In the NetplayModel join flow, check the
matching Swift generation before publishing results, and ensure stale
continuations never call npLeave or overwrite newer session state.
In `@to-dos/ROADMAP.md`:
- Line 66: Update the AccuracyCoin summary in the release history so 143/144
ends at v2.6.17 and the 144/144 range begins at v2.6.18, consistent with
VERSION-PLAN.md and the v2.7.4 records. Retain the note identifying Frozen OAM2
Increment as the failure for the earlier range.

CI: the new "iOS shim + audio sink host type-check" step failed with exit 126. scripts/ios-host-typecheck.sh was committed 100644: this repository runs core.fileMode=false (the NAS convention), so the executable bit set locally was never recorded. `git update-index --chmod=+x` fixes the index. Because that step failed, the three lint-job steps after it -- clippy with `full`, clippy on the mappers with mapper-audio compiled out, and the commercial-roms harness compile -- did not run in CI on this PR (rustdoc and the other clippy combos run before it and passed). This push runs them. The warning nobody saw (MOB-07). Both apps drained host warnings only after a movie load, so RecoveredFromInternalError -- queued when the bridge contains a panic -- never reached the screen, and "the app says so" in the notes was not true. Android now drains every 15 frames in the loop (the RA / netplay cadence); iOS polls once a second while a game is open. The Android frame loop now catches InternalException around each iteration. The previous commit contains panics inside the bridge for the three frame paths; any other bridge call the loop makes (npIsActive, drainAudioBytes, indexFramebufferBytes, ...) still reaches Kotlin as InternalException, which would end the LaunchedEffect and crash the app. Caught, it is logged, the loop waits one frame, and the next bridge call recovers the lock, freezes the game and queues the warning. (The diff for MainActivity is large because the loop body is re-indented into the try; the logic change is the catch and the poll.) Android battery, same file (AND-09). Reopening the running game gives the outgoing and incoming sessions separate BatterySavers for one `.sav`; their instance locks did not exclude each other, so their AtomicFile writes could meet in the one staging file per path. Savers now share a per-path lock. I tried to pin this first: a JVM stress test of two savers writing 8 KiB images concurrently passed 3 of 3 runs on the UNFIXED code (each image is a single write call on the JVM), so it could not fail and was not kept; the lock is structural and says so at the site. Separately, openRom now writes the running game's save before preparing the new ROM, so a reopen reads it back missing at most the frames run during preparation rather than up to a second. iOS audio ring soundness (IOS-02/03). Moving Ring out of audio.rs made it public, with `&self` push / pop_into on a `Sync` type: safe code could call push from two threads, both load the same tail and write one UnsafeCell -- undefined behaviour reachable without `unsafe`. Ring is private again; `ring(cap, threshold)` returns one RingTx and one RingRx, neither Clone, both `&mut self`, so the single-producer / single-consumer rule the unsafe relies on is enforced by the types. Producer owns the RingTx; the cpal callback owns the RingRx. The tests are rewritten against the handles; behaviour is unchanged (15 rustynes-ios tests, 16 in the host type-check). iOS audio retry (IOS-08). A rebuild that destroyed the sink and failed to open a new one left `audio` nil, and recoverAudioIfNeeded returned early on nil -- so the log said "retrying" and nothing did. An audioLost flag keeps the retry going on the existing 2 s throttle; a sink that never opened at init stays silent as before. iOS thermal (IOS-11). A thermal transition called applyDisplaySettings, which also re-reads the palette and the HD pack from disk on the main actor. It now applies the filter only. iOS netplay (MOB-09). CodeRabbit refined Copilot's finding fixed in the previous commit: the stale-completion npLeave has no session identity, so it is safe only if nothing newer could have started on the same core. Now only one join / host runs at a time (the others report "Still connecting"), and Leave also bumps the generation, so a completion that lands after Leave ends its own session instead of reviving one the player left. A native per-operation generation, as suggested, would also work but changes the bridge API for a case the one-at-a-time rule already closes. Docs: the uniffi-bindgen example path is release-mobile/ (it still said release/); docs/android.md now carries the size and frame-time figures its "measured below" pointed at nothing for; to-dos/ROADMAP.md no longer says AccuracyCoin "reads 143/144 from v2.6.17" -- it has read 144/144 since v2.6.18. The release notes, checklist (I14, I15) and ledger (seven rows annotated "Review (#552)") follow. Also from agy round 1: the battery background task in AppModel now ends in a `defer`. agy named BatterySave.swift, which begins no task, and flushNow cannot throw, so there was no leak; the defer is for the next early return. Verified: cargo test -p rustynes-mobile 36 and -p rustynes-ios 15; clippy -D warnings on the three mobile crates; rustdoc; ios-host-typecheck (16); Android :app:testFossDebugUnitTest 8/8 and :app:compilePlayDebugKotlin; release audits 15/2/8; markdownlint. NOT verified: every Swift change (uncompiled here) and the Android loop's catch, which needs a device panic.

CodeRabbit outside-diff (README 679-683): fixed in |
From agy round 2 on #552. Two changes; the rest of the round is answered in the PR. nes.rs: the MOB-08 rollback ignored the result of re-applying the backup (`let _ = self.apply_snapshot(&backup)`). That was deliberate and commented: the backup is this core's own fresh snapshot, the round-trip every save-state test pins, and the ORIGINAL error is the one worth returning. agy's point that a broken invariant would pass silently is still fair, and the core is no_std with no logger, so the result is now debug_assert!-ed. Debug and test builds fail loudly if the invariant ever breaks; the release build is unchanged (the assert compiles out), so no golden or byte-identity is affected. CloudSaveStateSync.upload: both failure branches returned nil with nothing logged -- the per-record failure (typically serverRecordChanged, another device wrote first) and a thrown modifyRecords error. Each is now logged with the slot and the error, which is what a device-checklist run of I7/I8 needs to tell a conflict from an outage. Behaviour is unchanged. Swift, uncompiled here. Verified: cargo test -p rustynes-core a_failed_restore (1 passed), clippy -D warnings on rustynes-core all targets, thumbv7em no_std build.

On iOS: the audio-sink rebuild and display sync on hardware. The device checklist covers each row by finding ID.
