  • The sandbox image can be fetched at first run instead of bundled, which is
    what F-Droid requires: it builds every app from source and will not ship a
    tarball of several hundred precompiled executables it cannot rebuild. The
    projects that do get in — Termux, UserLAnd — all download theirs. Which path a
    build uses is decided by what the APK holds: the asset is used when present and
    the image is downloaded when absent, so nothing in gradle has to know and
    existing builds behave exactly as before.
  • The download is verified against a SHA-256 compiled into the app, and a
    mismatch deletes the file and fails. This is not belt-and-braces: without it,
    whoever can answer for that URL picks which native binaries land in the
    sandbox. An empty digest disables the download path entirely rather than
    accepting anything, so a build that forgot to set one fails loudly.
  • Resumable via HTTP Range, because 14 MB on a phone is long enough for Doze or
    a walk out of Wi-Fi range to interrupt, and restarting from zero turns a slow
    install into one that never finishes. A server that ignores the range and
    sends the whole file discards the partial bytes rather than splicing two
    copies together.
  • Downloading is a separate install state from Extracting. One is waiting on
    a network and can be retried or resumed, the other is waiting on the device; a
    single bar for both tells the user nothing about which is stuck.
  • scripts/publish-rootfs.sh builds the image, prints its digest, and refuses
    to publish while that digest disagrees with the constant in the app — an app
    shipping the wrong digest rejects its own image.
