AI-generated planning suggestions specific to this repository. Verify each idea against source before acting. Copy as prompt adds scope, trust-boundary, and approval guardrails for a coding agent.

1

Add comprehensive unit tests for VaultRepository encryption/decryption

VaultRepositoryTest.java exists but likely needs expanded coverage for edge cases in the encryption pipeline. The vault is the core security component, and given the emphasis on 'secure encryption' in the README, rigorous unit tests for encryption/decryption flows, key derivation, and error handling would significantly reduce security regressions. This directly supports the app's core value proposition.

Checklist

  • ◦Review app/src/androidTest/java/com/beemdevelopment/aegis/vault/VaultRepositoryTest.java to identify gaps in encryption test coverage
  • ◦Add unit tests for invalid key scenarios, corrupted vault files, and migration between encryption schemes
  • ◦Add tests for backup/restore encryption workflows using the test vectors in app/src/androidTest/java/com/beemdevelopment/aegis/vectors/VaultEntries.java
  • ◦Verify coverage of app/src/main/java/com/beemdevelopment/aegis vault-related classes
2

Add GitHub Actions workflow for automated security vulnerability scanning on dependencies

The repo has build and CodeQL workflows (.github/workflows/build-app-workflow.yaml, codeql-analysis.yml) but lacks automated dependency scanning. For a security-focused 2FA app with many Android/Java dependencies (Dagger, Room, Protobuf, etc.), a Dependabot or OWASP dependency-check workflow would catch known CVEs early and match the security-first positioning.

Checklist

  • ◦Create .github/workflows/dependency-check.yml using OWASP dependency-check or Dependabot configuration
  • ◦Configure it to scan app/build.gradle and report vulnerabilities on PRs
  • ◦Set up automated alerts for high-severity CVEs in transitive dependencies
  • ◦Document the process in CONTRIBUTING.md for maintainers
3

Add integration tests for deep link and backup export flows end-to-end

DeepLinkTest.java and BackupExportTest.java exist but are likely shallow. Deep link handling and backup export are critical user-facing features for onboarding and data portability. Comprehensive integration tests covering malformed deep links, backup encryption during export, and format compatibility would catch regressions that break core workflows.

Checklist

  • ◦Expand app/src/androidTest/java/com/beemdevelopment/aegis/DeepLinkTest.java with test cases for invalid otpauth:// URIs, edge cases in parameters, and conflict scenarios
  • ◦Expand app/src/androidTest/java/com/beemdevelopment/aegis/BackupExportTest.java to cover encrypted vs. plaintext export, format validation (aegis_encrypted.json/aegis_plain.json), and re-import verification
  • ◦Add tests using the sample vaults in app/src/androidTest/resources/com/beemdevelopment/aegis/ to ensure round-trip consistency
  • ◦Integrate results with the existing ANDROIDX_TEST_ORCHESTRATOR setup in build.gradle

Concepts to learn

7

Non-obvious concepts named or implemented in this codebase. Click any link to read the canonical explanation.

AES-256-GCM (Galois/Counter Mode)

Aegis encrypts the entire vault with AES-256-GCM; understanding authenticated encryption (both confidentiality and integrity) is critical for reviewing or modifying vault security

en.wikipedia.org

Scrypt (key derivation function)

User password → encryption key via scrypt (not PBKDF2); scrypt's memory-hard design resists brute-force attacks on weak passwords — essential for security audits

en.wikipedia.org

TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) and HOTP (HMAC-based One-Time Password)

Aegis generates RFC 6238 (TOTP) and RFC 4226 (HOTP) tokens; understanding the algorithms ensures correct import/generation and helps debug compatibility issues

tools.ietf.org

Android Keystore (Biometric unlock)

Aegis stores encryption keys in Android Keystore for biometric unlock; this hardware-backed key management is critical for understanding security boundaries on rooted devices

developer.android.com

Room Database + Schema Versioning

Vault persistence uses Room with versioned schemas (app/schemas/); understanding Room migrations ensures safe addition of new token fields without data loss

developer.android.com

Dagger Hilt (Dependency Injection)

App uses Hilt for DI (dagger.hilt.android.plugin); essential for understanding testability patterns and component scoping (e.g., vault repository singleton)

developer.android.com

Protocol Buffers (protobuf)

build.gradle applies com.google.protobuf plugin; vault format may use protobuf for compact serialization; relevant for schema changes and import compatibility

developers.google.com
