ADFA-5645

Summary

The bundled core.cgt (the IDE's own "Basic Activity" archive, 9 templates) showed up in the Extensions Manager's Templates tab as an "Installed - Bundled" card, even though it isn't something the user installed and can't meaningfully uninstall. It has no place in a screen whose job is managing user/plugin-provided templates.

  • TemplateRepositoryImpl.scanTemplates() now drops core.cgt (name matched ignoring case) from the list it returns, from either directory, rather than special-casing it in the UI.
  • uninstallTemplate keeps its own guard against core.cgt, so the archive is protected on the operation itself, not only by the list filter.
  • TemplateProvenance.BUNDLED was only ever produced for core.cgt, so with it excluded from scanning, the enum value is unreachable. Removed it, its branch in TemplateListItem's provenance label, and the now-unused "Bundled" string resource.
  • The unrelated New Project template picker (TemplateCollectionRepositoryImpl) is untouched - it still needs to offer the bundled templates for project creation, and doesn't share code with this screen.

Trade-off: a core.cgt that lands in public Downloads by other means (a browser download, a share target) is now hidden too, so it loses the card whose Delete was its only in-app removal path; the user needs a file manager to remove it. Accepted because that card's Install could only ever fail.

Testing

  • listTemplateFiles_excludesTheBundledCoreArchive, listTemplateFiles_excludesTheCoreArchiveCaseInsensitively, listTemplateFiles_excludesACoreArchiveFoundOnlyInDownloads and uninstallTemplate_refusesTheCoreArchive_evenWhenNotReachedThroughTheList each fail without their fix and pass with it.
  • All 14 repository tests pass under :app:testV8DebugUnitTest; spotlessCheck passes.
  • Verified on a physical device (before the review fixes): the Templates tab no longer lists core.cgt at all, while core.cgt remains untouched on disk. Confirmed the New Project wizard's template picker still lists all bundled templates normally. No crashes.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

core.cgt ships with the IDE and isn't something the user installed or
can meaningfully uninstall - it has no place in a screen whose whole
job is managing user/plugin-provided templates. Exclude it from the
Templates tab's scan entirely rather than special-casing it in the UI.

TemplateProvenance.BUNDLED is now unreachable (nothing else maps to
it), so it's removed along with its uninstall guard, its dead branch
in TemplateListItem's provenance label, and the now-unused
"Bundled" string.

📝 Summary
  • Excludes core.cgt from the Extensions Manager’s Templates tab, including case variants and copies found only in Downloads.
  • Keeps the archive on disk and available in the New Project template picker.
  • Removes bundled-template provenance and label handling. Blocks attempts to uninstall core.cgt.
  • Adds regression tests for archive exclusion and uninstall protection.
  • Risk: Users cannot view or uninstall core.cgt through the Templates tab. Users must remove a Downloads copy with a file manager.
  • Tests and device verification: The PR description reports 14 repository tests pass, spotlessCheck passes, and device verification confirms the expected behavior.

The repository excludes core.cgt and case-insensitive filename matches from template listings. It rejects uninstall attempts for those files. The change removes the bundled provenance enum member and label, updates the template menu, and adds regression tests.

The BUNDLED provenance member and label are removed. The uninstall menu item is shown for every installed template.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: jatezzz

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 62018

The change removes an unused "Bundled" label as part of hiding core.cgt from the Templates tab. No concrete merge-blocking risk was identified in the reviewed scope.

Security architecture risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 659ee

The change narrows which archives the manager exposes and retains protection against uninstalling the bundled archive. The inspected paths show no newly introduced security risk or broader file-operation authority.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The inspected change affects archive visibility and management eligibility within the IDE's template storage and Downloads directory. It narrows the normal manager path to file operations rather than introducing a new caller or increasing those operations' authority.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The repository rejects direct uninstall of core.cgt case-insensitively even though the UI no longer checks bundled provenance. This is filename-based lifecycle protection, not proof of archive origin. The added direct-call test asserts rejection before either the installed file or Downloads contents change.

Excluding core.cgt from the templates list also excluded it from
installedNames, the set used to hide a same-named Downloads file as a
dead-end twin. A stray core.cgt in Downloads would then show up as an
installable card whose Install could only ever collide with the real
one in templatesDir - exactly the confusing dead-end this repository
already goes out of its way to avoid for every other template.

installedNames is now built from the full parsed templatesDir listing
before core.cgt is filtered out of what's returned, so the twin-hiding
behavior applies to core.cgt too.

Excluding core.cgt also excluded it from installedNames, the set that hides a same-named Downloads file as a dead-end twin. A stray core.cgt sitting in Downloads would then resurface as an installable card whose Install could only ever collide with the real one in templatesDir - reintroducing the exact dead-end UX this PR set out to eliminate.

Fixed: installedNames is now built from the full parsed templatesDir listing before core.cgt is filtered out of what's returned, so the twin-hiding behavior applies to core.cgt too. Added listTemplateFiles_hidesACoreArchiveTwinInDownloads, confirmed it fails without the fix.

✅ Resolved.

🟡 Minor · Exclude core.cgt from downloaded results. · TemplateRepositoryImpl.kt:60-74

app/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/repositories/TemplateRepositoryImpl.kt:60-74
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Exclude core.cgt from downloaded results. When templatesDir/core.cgt is absent, installedNames does not contain the reserved name. A valid Downloads/core.cgt therefore becomes an installed = false item. The Templates tab exposes Install for that item, and installTemplate() can copy it into templatesDir because the destination is absent. This violates the contract that core.cgt is excluded from the tab and install flows. Filter TEMPLATE_CORE_ARCHIVE from downloaded in scanTemplates(); this scan is the source of the Templates-tab items, so the stray archive is neither shown nor installed through this flow.

The previous fix only hid a Downloads core.cgt as a dead-end twin when
templatesDir already had one to match against (installedNames). If the
asset bootstrap hasn't run yet, templatesDir has no core.cgt, so a
Downloads copy would pass through as an installable USER-provenance
card - the same "completely exclude" requirement broken through a
different door.

core.cgt is now filtered out of the combined installed+downloaded list
instead of just installed, so it's excluded regardless of which
directory it's found in.

CodeRabbit finding — fixed in 27ac9b7:

Correct catch: the previous fix only hid a Downloads core.cgt twin when templatesDir/core.cgt already existed to match against. If the asset bootstrap hasn't run yet, templatesDir has no core.cgt, so a Downloads/core.cgt would pass straight through as an installable USER-provenance card - the same "completely exclude" requirement broken through a different door.

Fixed: core.cgt is now filtered out of the combined installed + downloaded list, so it's excluded regardless of which directory it's found in. Added listTemplateFiles_excludesACoreArchiveFoundOnlyInDownloads, confirmed it fails without the fix.

Went with the simpler filename-based exclusion (applied to the combined list) rather than CodeRabbit's suggested "managed provenance/installation path" tracking - core.cgt is already a reserved name elsewhere in this codebase (TemplateCollectionRepository.findExistingCollision's RESERVED_BASE_NAME), so a user can't legitimately have their own template under that exact name; the extra tracking machinery wouldn't buy anything here.

✅ Resolved.

Severity-graded findings from a /code-review pass, each verified against the diff at 27ac9b7.

IMPORTANT

  • TemplateRepositoryImpl.kt:144 (deleted line) - uninstallTemplate lost its guard and gained no replacement
  • TemplateRepositoryImplTest.kt:231 - the twin-in-Downloads test passes against the unfixed code

MINOR

  • TemplateRepositoryImpl.kt:76 - the exclusion is case-sensitive where every sibling is case-insensitive
  • TemplateRepositoryImpl.kt:76 - a stray core.cgt in Downloads loses its only in-app Delete

One NITPICK was withheld rather than posted: the comment on line 65 calls the build order "deliberate", but with the post-combine filterNot in place that ordering has no observable effect.

Checked and found clean: no remaining references to BUNDLED or template_provenance_bundled outside the diff; the removed string has no values-XX translation, so no ExtraTranslation lint break; TemplateProvenance is not persisted or serialised by ordinal; listTemplateFiles() has exactly one consumer (TemplateManagerViewModel).

Submitted as a comment, not a merge block. Flagging one process point rather than acting on it: CLAUDE.md moves a ticket to QA once a review comes back with no outstanding critical, high, or medium findings, so ADFA-5645 is not there yet on these two IMPORTANTs.

The default templates are not listed in the Add-ons Manager, which is still called the Extensions Manager here

Address review findings on #2046:

- Restore an uninstall guard for core.cgt. It was protected only by the
  list filter in scanTemplates, so an item reaching uninstallTemplate any
  other way could move the archive out, and nothing lists it to put back.
- Match core.cgt ignoring case, like the twin dedup and
  findExistingCollision, so a hand-copied Core.cgt is excluded too.
- Replace listTemplateFiles_hidesACoreArchiveTwinInDownloads, which passed
  against the unfixed code, with tests that fail without these fixes.
