Validation for 0.1.0

No APK was built. Android Gradle plugin project evaluation, the Android resource linker, the NDK cross-build, packaging and actual M11S playback were not executed. This is a source delivery for the owner to build and test on the device.

Checks completed

• All Java app sources type-checked with Eclipse ECJ against the official Android API 35 android.jar, using Java 8 language/bytecode mode. The project runs Gradle on JDK 27 while targeting Java 17 for app compilation; its app source is also compatible with Java 8 syntax.
• The same sources compiled with OpenJDK 27 javac --release 17 against Android API 35 stubs. Seven Android API deprecation warnings appeared; there were no errors.
• JNI C++ source passed the host C++17 compiler's syntax/type checks using official OpenJDK JNI headers and FFmpeg 7.1.5 headers.
• The actual decoder.cpp compiled and linked against a host build of unmodified FFmpeg 7.1.5. This checks its real FFmpeg API usage, not a mock decoder.
• Sequential decoding, repeated EOF reads and seeks at 0, 1/3 second, 1 second, 1 second + 137 frames, and 3 seconds + 137 frames passed for all fixtures below. Each was tested at 44,100 Hz and resampled to 48,000 Hz.
• Frame arithmetic tests passed for A/B boundaries, repeated wrapping, positions beyond a 32-bit frame counter, marker validation, sample/time conversion and the 32 MiB loop-cache limit.
• Shell scripts passed bash -n. Manifest, theme and vector XML parsed successfully.
• For the Ninja regeneration failure on a mounted macOS volume, the top-level CMake project sets CMAKE_SUPPRESS_REGENERATION=ON; CMake documents that this omits Ninja's build-system regeneration rule. The changed native build has not been run on the owner's machine. README.md includes the one-time .cxx cleanup needed to replace an existing generated manifest.
• The Gradle wrapper downloaded the checksum-pinned Gradle 9.8.1 archive from a local test path and successfully ran --version on OpenJDK 27. The project retains the official remote distribution URL. The Android app was not built.

Native TAK 1.0 / codec type 0

The user-supplied 8 MiB TAK prefix declares codec type 0, which the bundled FFmpeg cannot decode. LoopDeck now selects a separate native C++ decoder for it.

• The native output matched the supplied TAK decoder DLL exactly for all 573 complete frames: 3,158,376 stereo PCM frames / 12,633,504 bytes at 44,100 Hz, about 71.6 seconds. Both PCM outputs have SHA-256 ff2b6067cecf25d2957d2ff7a454bb533d7cdcd49420deaa36cd93961e2b7b2c.
• The upload cuts frame 574 short. That incomplete frame is excluded from the comparison and is rejected by the native decoder; it is not counted as a pass.
• 68 generated fixtures matched the original DLL: mono/stereo, 8/16/24-bit PCM, source rates from 8 to 192 kHz, all six stereo modes, all 16 predictor orders (4 through 256), short final frames, prefilters and channel partitions.
• Through the actual decoder.cpp, sequential decode, EOF and seek comparisons passed for the complete uploaded frames at 44,100 and 48,000 Hz. Generated 8-bit and 24-bit mono tracks passed at 8,000 and 48,000 Hz.
• AddressSanitizer and UndefinedBehaviorSanitizer found no errors across 3,000 truncated or modified packet inputs, including modifications with recalculated payload checksums. LeakSanitizer was disabled because the host runtime cannot inspect its process threads.
• The JNI bridge type-checks with JDK 27 JNI headers after the native integration.

The Windows DLL was executed only by a host reference test harness. It and the user's music are not included in this source archive or required by the app. The rest of the original track, other real codec-0 albums, ARM64 performance, Android integration and actual device playback remain unverified. No APK was built.

The seek test compares 1,024 output frames with sequential decoding. For resampled output it excludes the first 64 frames from the comparison to allow filter warm-up. The maximum allowed absolute sample difference is 0.003 on the float PCM scale. ASF/WMA's demuxer prints seek-probing warnings for the generated WMA fixture, but its compared output passes.

One additional legacy FFmpeg sample, A-codecs/lossless/luckynight.ape, failed decoding in both this decoder and the system FFmpeg CLI. It was not counted as a pass or silently ignored. Another APE sample passed. No audio fixtures are included in this archive, and these checks do not cover all versions of every format.

First device checks

1. Build with ./build.sh, install, grant the actual microSD music folder.
2. Open examples from the real collection: TTA, TAK, APE, WV and WMA.
3. Seek well into a long album; test A/B both while playing and while paused.
4. Confirm cached short repeats and seek-mode long repeats, pause/resume and clearing.
5. Lock the screen, test physical buttons and headphone disconnect.
6. Confirm the source rate / requested output rate and check FiiO's audio settings.

AudioTrack timing, final DAC format, actual gaplessness and responsiveness require the device. They are not established by host decoder tests.

Album-image track view patch

Host checks for this change:

• CueSheetTest: INDEX 01 boundaries, INDEX 00 pregaps, UTF-8 Japanese/emoji titles, missing titles, titles after INDEX, multi-file sheets, long images, invalid timestamps, duplicate indices, reversed starts and non-audio entries.
• Existing LoopMathTest passed.
• All application Java files passed the JDK parser; git diff --check passed.

Next-track buffering patch (base 64bee3e)

• GaplessTest passed: exact stereo sample order across prefix/live reads, irregular read sizes, short and empty tracks, explicit CUE limits, cancelled preparation, resource ownership and 200 cancellation/publication races.
• test-playback-handoff.py compiles the actual PlaybackService against fake Android/native IO and simulates playback. Three tracks concatenate sample for sample through one AudioTrack, with no intermediate flush/recreation. Metadata follows the audible boundary. Seeking while the next track is queued discards that handoff and restores the outgoing decoder; all decoder handles close.
• Existing CUE parsing and loop arithmetic tests passed; application Java syntax and git diff --check passed.

These are host checks. No APK was built and no real AudioTrack/codec/storage playback was tested for this change. On the M11S, check a continuous lossless album with the screen off, seek/mark A–B close to a file boundary, pause/resume during a handoff, skip tracks, stop, and try a sample-rate change. Confirm the final samples of the last track play and no stale preloaded audio appears after a seek.
