Problem and scope

The Russian Android build reported a collapsed chat layout when opening the keyboard during localization. This PR adds Russian Android UI text and preserves that build's chat layout fix. It does not claim that an unmodified upstream build has the same chat bug.

This replaces #96, #99, and #101 with an Android-only implementation. No iOS/Swift/native iPhone implementation is changed. Shared Compose resources and the persisted language setting are used by Android's existing UI.

Changes

  • Add complete Russian Compose resources, Android language selection, and translated Android file-manager controls.
  • Localize known extension UI messages and composer menu titles only when Russian is selected. Preserve extension identifiers, stored option values, action arguments, and diagnostic details.
  • Use adjustResize through Android API 29 for the legacy AndroidX IME fallback. On API 30+, set adjustNothing before Compose content is created, retaining the Russian build's behavior for its reported chat collapse. Preserve existing keyboard visibility flags and Compose IME padding.
  • Document the changed Android functions with KDoc and add tests for Russian language persistence and locale-aware text. Translate the selected dropdown value as well as its menu options.

Validation

  • All 1,097 Russian resource strings are present; formatting placeholders match the source resources.
  • Android APK assembly succeeded.
  • Shared JVM unit tests: 148 passed.
  • Android localization tests: 4 passed.
  • The user confirms that ChatGPT subscription login works in their Russian 2.1.7 Android APK. Authentication, DNS, networking, and dependency changes are outside this PR.
  • No Android device is connected locally. Keyboard behavior on older Android versions remains to be verified.

Review fixes

  • Replace the incorrect iOS reference with a platform-neutral runtime warning.
  • Localize file-manager fallback/validation errors; preserve filenames and original diagnostic details.
  • Improve Russian cache, token-rate, script, and prompt labels.
  • Translate known extension cancellation reasons with the existing lookup; leave unknown strings untouched.
  • Add KDoc for the affected helper functions. The saved system prompt is not overwritten when UI language changes.

Validation after these changes: shared tests 148/148; Android localization tests 4/4; Android APK assembly succeeded; English/Russian resource key parity and format arguments validated. The published APK is unchanged.

API 29 IME compatibility

The manifest now uses adjustResize as the legacy baseline, consistent with Android's backward-compatibility guidance. MainActivity chooses adjustNothing on API 30+ before creating Compose content. No extra IME padding or inset listener is added. The adjustment policy preserves other soft-input flags and is idempotent.

Device validation is pending: API 29 and API 30+ keyboard opening/closing, repeated toggles, portrait/landscape, navigation back to chat, and the original collapsed-chat regression. No connected Android device or configured AVD is available locally. Policy unit tests verify mode selection and flags, not visible layout. The published, user-verified 2.1.7 APK remains unchanged.

IME update validation: Android APK assembly succeeded; shared unit tests 148/148; targeted Android tests 7/7 (3 IME-policy tests and 4 localization tests). These tests cover policy logic, not on-device keyboard layout.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Russian is now available as an app language, with localized chat content, extension menus and messages, settings, and file-manager controls.
    • Russian device settings are recognized automatically, and Russian system prompts are supported.
  • Bug Fixes
    • The chat input adjusts to the keyboard differently across Android versions, helping preserve the intended layout.
    • File-manager errors and fallback messages now appear in the selected language.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 4aea1

The reported file-manager fallback issue is fixed, and no concrete issue remains that blocks merging. Keyboard layout on API 29 and API 30+ still needs device validation.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4aea1

The inspected changes preserve extension action identities, filesystem operations, and existing permissions. No expanded execution authority was identified. Remaining uncertainty concerns downgrade compatibility and keyboard behavior on actual devices.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The examined changes affect the installed client's window, localized presentation, and language preference. Their inspected paths do not expand extension execution or filesystem authority; this is a bounded conclusion, not a complete assessment of every shared consumer or deployment.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Localized extension display text remains separate from executable action identity and stored option identity. Translating the selected dropdown label does not translate the value emitted to its update callback.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — File-manager localization preserves the inspected operation dispatch, duplicate-name checks, and attempted destination cleanup after failed export. Error handling continues to prefer the original diagnostic message over the localized fallback.

🟡 Minor · Error messages remain hard-coded English. · AndroidAlpineFileManagerScreen.kt:133

app/src/main/java/com/zhousl/aether/ui/AndroidAlpineFileManagerScreen.kt:133
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Error messages remain hard-coded English.

The change localizes labels and dialogs. The fallback error strings still show in English to Russian users. Examples are "Unable to load directory.", "Unable to import the selected item.", "Unable to download the file.", "Unable to open file.", "Unable to save file.", and "File operation failed.". The resource file_manager_operation_failed already exists for the last one. Use string resources for these fallbacks. Resolve them with stringResource or context.getString before the coroutine runs.

Notification localization is applied only to the app.notify path.

extensionText runs only for app.notify. Other extension-originated messages are not translated. One example is eventResult.reason in submitCurrentMessage, which uses UiText.Raw(reason). Apply extensionText there too if those messages come from the same builtin extensions.

Request native-speaker review of the Russian strings.

Key parity checks do not verify grammar, tone, or phrasing. Some strings read as literal translations. Examples are Кэшированный for a statistics label and ток/с as the tokens-per-second unit. Have a native speaker review this file.

Based on learnings: automated locale-key parity checks do not verify translation quality, so flag translated strings for separate linguistic review.

39-134: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Exact-match translation table is fragile.

russianExtensionText matches full English strings. If an extension changes one character in a label, the string silently falls back to English. This is a design trade-off, not a defect. Keep the table next to the extension strings, or move it into string resources keyed by stable IDs, so drift is easier to detect.

23-29: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

The Russian default system prompt is persisted and not re-localized on language change.

platformDefaultSystemPrompt() is evaluated at AppSettings construction (val systemPrompt: String = platformDefaultSystemPrompt()). A Russian-locale device now stores the Russian prompt as the "default". The user can later switch the app language to English in settings. The stored prompt stays Russian. The prompt also keys off the device locale, not the selected AppLanguage. These two sources can disagree.

Consider deriving the prompt from the selected AppLanguage, or document that the prompt is fixed at first launch.

🟠 Major · Keep adjustResize on API 29. · AndroidManifest.xml:48

app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:48
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep adjustResize on API 29.

When a user opens the keyboard in chat on API 29, adjustNothing makes Android use the content frame instead of the IME-adjusted visible frame. AndroidX Core 1.13.1's pre-30 WindowInsetsCompat.Type.ime() fallback can then return Insets.NONE. Foundation Layout 1.7.3 applies no IME bottom padding, so the bottom-aligned composer can remain behind the keyboard. Restore adjustResize.
