Physical-device acceptance checklist

Use a current build of both app and test-helper on the target phone. Grant the helper's notification permission and grant Notification Log notification listener access before starting. Keep the default logging rules for the first pass.

1. Open the helper and tap Post text, then Edit text. The log should show an appearance followed by an edit, with the expanded edit showing the prior text.
2. Tap Post messaging, Post big text, Post inbox, and Post image. Confirm the visible text is captured and that the image row shows [image]; expand the image row and export HTML to confirm its support file is included.
3. Tap Post dismissible, pull down the system notification shade, and swipe that one notification away. Confirm its removal is logged as a user dismissal. Tap Post text, then Cancel text, and confirm the removal is instead app-cancelled. Also let Post timeout expire and check that it is identified as a timeout.
4. Tap Post progress, Update progress, and Post chronometer. With Ignore routine updates enabled, only their initial appearances should be logged. Disable it under Edits, repeat the updates, and confirm edits are logged.
5. Tap Post group and dismiss its children/summary from the shade. Check the actual removal reasons shown by the phone; OEMs may coalesce groups differently, but the app must not label an app cancellation as a user swipe.
6. In Settings, exercise the five master toggles, copy settings, list filters, pull-to-refresh at both ends, export formats, and clearing. Disable all five logging types, reboot, and check that the listener is not active; enable one again, reboot, and post another helper notification to confirm reconnection.
7. Enable Lock app with phone unlock, leave and return to the app, and test both a strong biometric and the device credential fallback. Cancelling the prompt must leave the app rather than expose logs.
8. Test light and dark themes, portrait/landscape, folded/unfolded/narrow/wide layouts. Confirm there is no content under a system bar and that the sidebar stays permanently visible at the wide breakpoint.

The AOSP smoke script covers the deterministic helper event generation, encrypted persistence, readable image retention, and post-reboot listener reconnection. Steps involving Samsung's shade, its removal-reason behavior, biometrics, and foldable geometry require this physical pass.
