SUBJECT: FIVE LAYERS OF SAFETY ENFORCEMENT, FIVE DIFFERENT MECHANISMS The landed files now show enough of the safety model to map where each safety property is enforced and HOW. Five different enforcement mechanisms, none of them redundant. LAYER 1 — THE MANIFEST (AndroidManifest.xml). What the OS allows at all. No SMS receiver registered = Android never delivers SMS intents to the app. This is the layer WEEKEND's SmsReceiver finding lives at. Enforcement mechanism: Android's own component resolution. The code cannot override this without an app update. Strongest layer — it requires a build and install to change. LAYER 2 — THE SETTINGS DEFAULTS (SettingsManager.kt). What ships turned on or off. block_code_exec=TRUE, self_protect=TRUE, self_interaction=FALSE, risky_actions=FALSE, passive_learning=FALSE. Enforcement mechanism: SharedPreferences boolean checks in the code paths. Can be changed at runtime by the owner through the Settings screen. This is the owner-configurable layer — the owner decides what rope to give the agent. LAYER 3 — THE ACCESSIBILITY CONFIG (accessibility_service_config.xml). What the service subscribes to. typeWindowStateChanged only, not typeAllMask. Enforcement mechanism: Android's accessibility framework only delivers events the service declared interest in. The agent cannot subscribe to more without a code change. This is the privacy layer — idle, the agent receives nothing. LAYER 4 — THE AUTH GATE (AuthGateActivity.kt). Who can start the agent. A tiny invisible activity that asks the device to confirm the user's credential (fingerprint/PIN/pattern) before dispatching the activation intent to AgentService. Uses KeyguardManager — no extra dependency. Records the last auth timestamp so it does not re-ask within the configured inactivity window. Enforcement mechanism: the OS credential confirmation dialog, which the agent cannot bypass or dismiss. This is the identity layer — only the person who can unlock the phone can start the agent. (WEEKEND noted biometric_required defaults FALSE with an honest comment that it SHOULD default ON for distribution.) LAYER 5 — THE KILL SWITCHES (AgentControl.kt, FloatingButtonService.kt). How to stop it. Three paths: floating STOP button (tap while busy), voice "stop"/"cancel" (partial ASR match), notification Stop action. AgentControl.emergencyStop() kills everything including passive learning. AgentControl.sleep() stops tasks but keeps passive learning. Enforcement mechanism: Intent-based service shutdown — stopService is a hard OS-level kill. The floating button re-attaches itself if the system reclaims it under memory pressure, so the kill switch survives the OOM that kills everything else. What is NOT in the landed files yet: Layer 6 — the runtime enforcement in performActionJson (ActionAccessibilityService.kt, the biggest file at 218KB). That is where the hard blocks from CLAUDE.md section 3 actually execute: ChatGPT blocked, system updater blocked, own repo blocked, high-stakes confirmation gates. The safety defaults in SettingsManager are read BY performActionJson. Without that file, you can see what the toggles are, but not where they bite. The five landed layers use five different enforcement mechanisms: OS component resolution, SharedPreferences booleans, accessibility framework config, OS credential dialog, and Intent-based service lifecycle. No single mechanism protects everything. No single point of failure disables all safety. This is defense in depth built by someone who got burned by each layer failing independently.
