Terminal Spike 0.0.4 — SSH + Mosh in your pocket

SSH + Mosh in one Android app. Android 8.0 or newer.

Download terminal-spike-0.0.4.apk below, open it on your phone, allow installation from your browser, and add your SSH connection.

• Herdr session selection alongside tmux.
• Tap to navigate; double-tap for the keyboard in mouse-enabled terminals.
• Compact Herdr sidebar and a native recent-history reader for Codex (up to 1,000 rows).
• Better terminal sizing on first connection and after keyboard/layout changes.

This is an early test release. Herdr's 1,000-row reader is bounded; older history is not available through that reader. Physical Codex/Herdr gesture acceptance has not been rerun on the authorized old phone. Local Arch Play-policy eligibility remains unresolved; an internal-track upload does not establish production approval.

The APK uses the project's upload certificate, which differs from Play App Signing. Stay on one installation channel for updates; switching may require a backup and reinstall.

Local verification: 1,082 unit tests passed, lint and debug/release/APK/AAB/Android-test/benchmark builds passed. Signatures verified against the external upload certificate. Completed debug APK installed and MainActivity foregrounded on SM-F976B; no tests ran on that foldable.

Verification: all 12 required CI jobs passed, including full Android 8/15 suites, Android 9/10/12L/13/17 compatibility, real SSH/SFTP, backup restore, lifecycle behavior and signed-release install/update with preserved connections. All 110 host-tooling tests passed. The lifecycle fixture-startup failure passed on its single retry; no app test was weakened.

Google Play publication verified: both internal and closed testing (alpha) now contain 0.0.4 (7), with release status completed. The existing tester Google Group remains assigned to closed testing. Store availability can take time to propagate; fresh-account Play installation has not been independently exercised.

Follow-up verification: all 12 required checks also passed on current main (81906b8). Changes since the release source are README/screenshots and read-only emulator focus diagnostics; app binary inputs are unchanged. Earlier hosted focus failures did not reproduce in the final full suite; no test was weakened.

0.0.3 (6) internal testing source

Terminal Spike 0.0.3 (version code 6), published to Google Play internal testing from commit 9392e77.

Includes bundled Mosh, Local Arch runtime, and terminal improvements. The attached source archive includes corresponding native sources, pinned dependency archives, patches, notices and build instructions. Build with an external signing key as described in README.md; no production credentials are included.

Local Arch Google Play policy eligibility remains unresolved; internal distribution and API acceptance do not establish policy approval. Physical-device behavior has not been retested on this laptop.

Verification: 1,046 unit tests passed with no failures or skips; release lint, release bundle packaging and restored upload-certificate signature checks passed. Play internal track was reread after commit and returned code 6 with status completed.
