```
The Android workload installs into the user SDK (`dotnet workload install android` ); the system SDK in `/opt/dotnet`
is root-owned, so CI uses the runner user's own `~/.dotnet` (passolo's `tools/release.sh` pattern).

## Repository, CI and the variables they read
| Name | Where | What |
|---|---|---|
| `GITEA_URL` | shell, optional | Gitea base URL for `tools/gitea/*.sh` ; default `https://git.thepra.dev` |
| `GITEA_ORG` | shell, optional | organisation; default `Arasaka` |
| `GITEA_REPO` | shell, optional | repository for `set_secret.sh` ; default `MeWeb` |
| (git credential store) | `~/.git-credentials` | the only Gitea authentication the scripts use: `git credential fill` for `git.thepra.dev` |
| `MEWEB_KEYSTORE_B64` | Actions secret | the Android keystore, base64 (`tools/gitea/set_secret.sh` ) |
| `MEWEB_KEYSTORE_PASS` | Actions secret | its password (store and key share it), alias `meweb` |
| `GITEA_TOKEN` | Actions, automatic | the job token; `release.sh` uses it as `RELEASE_TOKEN` to create the release and attach files |
| `VERSION` , `COMMIT` | job env | written by `.gitea/scripts/prepare.sh` from `Directory.Build.props` and the commit |
| `MEWEB_KEYSTORE` | release step | a temporary file in `$RUNNER_TEMP` decoded by `.gitea/scripts/android.sh` , removed on exit |
`build.yml` runs on every push to `master` ; `release.yml` on a `v*` tag (publishes the Gitea release) or by hand
(`publish: false` builds every platform and deploys the server only). Both run on the Arasaka org runner `nuvola` ,
user `gitea-runner` , home `/var/lib/gitea-runner` : `tools/sdk.sh` installs the SDK from `global.json` into its
`~/.dotnet` (the system SDK in `/opt/dotnet` is older and root-owned), and the JDK, nfpm and the Android SDK are
cached in `~/.cache/meweb` . There is deliberately no `pull_request` trigger: the runner is the production box.
The server's one-time root setup is `deploy/max/setup.sh` (user `meweb` , `/var/www/meweb.arasaka.software` ,
`/etc/meweb/meweb.env` , the unit, the runner's sudoers line, the certificate, nginx), run on the box through
`arasaka.software` 's `tools/max/run.sh` .
The Android release key: alias `meweb` , certificate SHA-256
`5f52cff4f52f4e0b6da6cd044bfceaf78d1d42db24f2470602db7f19cbfdf846` . Never regenerate it.

## Map
| Path | What |
|---|---|
| `src/MeWeb.Shared` | `Endpoints.cs` (routes and hosts), wire contracts, `MeWebJsonContext` , generated `BuildInfo` |
2026-10-15 05:41:44 +02:00
| `src/MeWeb.Core` | the checks, no UI: `Net/` (address kinds, local network, TTL route, STUN, the probe's `Answerer` , DNS, speed, the device), `Router/` (UPnP IGD, NAT-PMP, PCP; `PortMapper` opens and removes mappings, `Leftovers` remembers them across a crash), `Mail/` (port 25, reverse name, blocklists through the user's resolver), `Knowledge/` (provider map and profiles), `History/` (checks, shared submissions), `Checks/` (`CheckRunner` , `Verdicts` , `Reach` , `Uses` , `ServerProbe` , `SharePayload` ) |
2026-10-15 01:18:13 +02:00
| `src/MeWeb.App` | Avalonia views and view models, `Services/Localizer.cs` (+ `{s:Tr Key}` ), `Strings/<code>.json` , `Resources/Colors.axaml` |
2026-10-15 01:14:44 +02:00
| `src/MeWeb.Desktop` | desktop head (`meweb` executable), Windows manifest |
| `src/MeWeb.Android` | Android head (`software.arasaka.meweb` ), resources, manifest |
2026-10-15 05:41:44 +02:00
| `src/MeWeb.Server` | `meweb.arasaka.software` : `/api/info` , `/api/ip` , the download page `/` and `/privacy` (en, it), `/download/{platform}` from the latest Gitea release, the probe (`/api/probe/ticket` , `/api/probe/{id}` ) and shared findings (`/api/share` , files under `/var/lib/meweb/shares` , swept after `KeepDays` ) |
2026-10-15 01:18:13 +02:00
| `data/languages.json` | 113 languages: code, autonym, English name, `rtl` , `reviewed` or `draft` |
2026-10-15 04:39:03 +02:00
| `data/isps/*.json` | provider profiles: AS numbers, and per fact a value, who said it (`basis` ), the source URL and the month |
| `tools/knowledge.cs` | downloads iptoasn's `ip2asn-combined.tsv.gz` (cached in `tools/cache` , 12 h) and writes the brotli table `artifacts/knowledge/ip2asn.bin` (~2 MB), embedded by `MeWeb.Core` when present; `tools/release.cs` runs it before every app build |
2026-10-15 01:14:44 +02:00
| `tools/setup.cs` + `setup.json` | pinned build tools |

## Pitfalls
2026-10-15 04:39:03 +02:00
- **A TTL ping needs an empty payload off-root.** .NET on Linux falls back to the `ping` utility without
`CAP_NET_RAW` and refuses any custom buffer ("Unable to send custom ping payload"); `SendPingAsync(target, timeout, [],
new PingOptions(ttl, false))` works and reports `TimeExceeded` with the hop's address.
- **A 100.64.x.x hop is not proof of CGNAT.** The owner's Dimensione line has a public IPv4 on the FRITZ!Box and still
shows `100.64.255.255` as hop 2. Only the router's own WAN address compared with the echo decides; hops are a hint.
- **Routers answer the SSDP search they don't implement.** The FRITZ!Box 5530 answers an IGD:2 search while describing
itself as IGD:1; the version comes from the description's `deviceType` . Its PCP answers `NOT_AUTHORIZED` (2).
- **`HeadlessUnitTestSession.Dispatch` builds a fresh `Application` each call**, and `AttachDeveloperTools` throws the
second time: the screenshot tool does the real check and every shot inside one `Dispatch` .
- **Fluent's `Expander` paints its header from resources** (`ExpanderHeaderBackground` , …), not from `Background` ; the
`Expander.explain` style overrides them in `Style.Resources` .
2026-10-15 05:41:44 +02:00
- **The probe never trusts the client for a target.** A ticket is bound to the address the server saw, single use,
60 s; the run refuses any other caller address, private and CGNAT space, and `Probe:Refuse` (the box's own
addresses, so the owner cannot probe himself from home). `Probe__AllowPrivate=true` exists for a local server only.
- **Ask the outside STUN server first.** When `stun.meweb` is the caller's own public address (the owner's line), the
first binding hairpins inside the FRITZ!Box with the port preserved and the next destination reuses that mapping,
so the order `stun.nextcloud.com` then `stun.meweb` is what reads a symmetric NAT as hard.
- **Shared findings are files, not Mongo.** The box's Mongo has auth on and me-web? has no user there; a file per
submission under the unit's `StateDirectory` , with only the delete token's SHA-256, needs no credentials.
2026-10-15 04:39:03 +02:00
- **An address inside right-to-left text reorders around `→` .** `Texts.Isolate` wraps every literal value in U+2068/U+2069.
2026-10-15 01:14:44 +02:00
- **Avalonia 12 Android head:** `[Application] MainApplication : AvaloniaAndroidApplication<App>` plus a non-generic
`AvaloniaMainActivity` ; the main view comes through `IActivityApplicationLifetime.MainViewFactory` , checked before
`ISingleViewApplicationLifetime` .
- **`ApplicationVersion` must be an integer**: computed from `Version` through separate `VersionMajor/Minor/Patch`
properties; one nested property function left it unevaluated (`XA0003` ).
- **A headless Avalonia session does not end on its own** while the pulse animation runs: the screenshot tool calls
`Environment.Exit(0)` after dispatching.
- **The macOS apphost is ad-hoc signed by the .NET 10 SDK even on Linux** (`LC_CODE_SIGNATURE` present); Apple
Silicon refuses unsigned arm64 code, so never strip it.
- **The Windows single-file publish drops native `.pdb` files beside the exe**; only `meweb.exe` ships.
