Fix the Android release build and tighten the Helm values
Every Android release build runs lint, which AGP 8.7 cannot run on JDK 26,
the JDK Homebrew's Gradle starts on; make android failed unless JAVA_HOME
was set by hand. gradle/gradle-daemon-jvm.properties now runs the Gradle
daemon on JDK 17 whatever launches it.

The Helm values trusted every private address range as a proxy, which let
any client on the LAN choose its own address for the sign-in rate limits.
They now name only the nginx host and the k3s pod network. The port gains
healthcheckPath, so the pod gets readiness and liveness probes.

KeepOrg for Android

A KDBX synchronization adapter with no third-party dependencies: the server is reached with java.net.HttpURLConnection, JSON is parsed with the platform's org.json, and the two screens are built in code. The release APK is about 650 KB.

How a KeePass application sees it

KeepOrgProvider is a DocumentsProvider, so the mirrored databases appear in every file picker under "KeepOrg". KeePassDX and Keepass2Android open them like any other document. When the application closes a file it had opened for writing, the provider triggers a synchronization pass, which is how a save reaches the server.

SyncService is a foreground service that holds the server's event stream open, so a change pushed by a colleague arrives without opening the app. The user turns it on from the main screen; it is not started at boot.

Nothing the app holds may leave the device in a backup or a device transfer: res/xml/data_extraction_rules.xml and res/xml/backup_rules.xml exclude every domain. The session token authenticates as the user, and the mirrored files are the organization's password databases.

The merge policy in Mirror.decide is the same table as the desktop client's internal/client/decide.go. Keep the two in step.

Building

Requirements: a JDK 17 installed (Gradle 8.9 or newer runs its daemon on it whatever JDK launches Gradle, per gradle/gradle-daemon-jvm.properties: AGP 8.7's lint, which every release build runs, fails on newer JDKs), and an Android SDK with platforms;android-35 and build-tools;35.0.0.

export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/android-sdk
make android        # unsigned release APK, named for the F-Droid repository
make android-lint   # lint; the project is kept at zero findings
make android-publish

The Gradle wrapper is not committed, so the Makefile calls whichever gradle is on PATH. Generate a wrapper if you prefer one: gradle wrapper --gradle-version 8.10.2.

The release build is deliberately unsigned: the private F-Droid repository signs what it publishes.

Building on an arm64 Linux host

Google ships aapt2 for linux-x86_64 only, so an aarch64 build host needs to be able to run it. Debian's own arm64 aapt2 is too old to read the API 35 android.jar, so run the official one through QEMU instead:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture amd64
sudo apt update
sudo apt install qemu-user-static libc6:amd64 libstdc++6:amd64 zlib1g:amd64

After that aapt2 runs transparently and the build needs no further flags. Everything else in the Android toolchain (R8, the resource merger, zipflinger, apksig) is Java and architecture-independent.

What is verified and what is not

The APK builds clean and lint reports no issues, and the packaged DEX contains every class the manifest names. The app has not been exercised on a device or emulator: there was none available. The first real run is where to confirm the picker integration, the save-triggered sync and the notification.
