Summary

  • Notifications are asked for only from a show's bell and the import card, not on every Home visit.
  • The review prompt counts episodes finished in boxlore on this install, asks once per milestone, and waits two days after installing or importing a library.
  • Analytics fixes: phone plays no longer counted as Android Auto plays, Explore impressions split from taps, prompts no longer start the NPS survey, set-once person properties that actually set, and media extras kept out of playback events.

Motivation

  • Home asked for notification permission on every visit until the listener answered.
  • The review prompt counted marked-played and restored episodes, so a restore or import could fire it right away, and a used milestone came back 30 days later.
  • PostHog numbers were wrong in several places:
    • 2,761 phone plays in 14 days were labelled android_auto_*. Media3 sends the app's own setMediaItems through onAddMediaItems, which overwrote the app's entry point.
    • 94% of explore_recommendation_tapped rows were impressions.
    • Review prompts sent feedback_submitted, which also made people eligible for the NPS survey.
    • install_channel never existed on any person: it was sent nested as $set_once under $set, so PostHog stored one property literally named $set_once.
    • Playback events carried media item extras (artwork URL lists, Android Auto keys).
    • Every new episode or mix counted as the listener clearing the queue.
    • Settings reported a change on every tap, even when nothing changed.

What changed

  • Notifications (:app, :feature:info): the Home permission request is removed. Both permission events carry surface (show_bell, library_import).
  • Review prompt:
    • :core:prefs keeps review_milestone_consumed and library_imported_at, and checks a 2-day quiet period from Android's install time and the last import. review_first_launch_at is no longer read.
    • :feature:home counts only rows finished since install (finishedAt) and records the prompt only once its sheet is on screen with Home resumed (ReviewPromptRecorder).
    • A pending milestone follows the count, so one restored from a backup with no listening behind it is dropped. An install prompted before this update counts milestone 5 (or the one it has reached) as used.
    • The quiet days also start when an import begins and on a phone's first sync for an account (onFirstAccountPull).
    • :core:catalog applies the quiet days to the promoter hand-off too.
  • Feedback events:
    • feedback_submitted is now only the survey trigger.
    • New engagement_prompt_shown, store_review_opened (in-app review and every store-page button) and feedback_sent (categories only).
    • The survey's own "shown" is no longer sent twice.
  • Milestones:
    • first_episode_played is claimed once per install from the player (FirstPlayClaim), with the episode and show, in a prefs file left out of backups. The claim is taken when a listen starts, in start order. The first launch notes whether the install came from an older build, so a restored phone updated before its first listen still sends it.
    • The setup route keeps first_onboarding_method, first_user_intent and initial_podcasts_subscribed as set-once properties.
    • New AnalyticsEmit.personSetOnce uses the SDK's set-once slot. Play's (not set) referrer is now unknown, not utm.
  • Explore: new explore_surface_impression. Home's category chips are now home_surface_tapped.
  • Queue: a clear is reported only when the listener chose it (the Lore conflict dialog). Batch adds send one event with items_count.
  • Playback events:
    • EntryPointContext.ALLOWED_KEYS is the only context allowed onto them, and context never replaces a field the event already set.
    • labelCarPlay names android_auto_* only for Android Auto's controller.
    • queue_auto_advance, queue_skip and library_latest_episodes are now canonical entry points. Auto-advance and skips report them even when the queue's items carry the surface that started it, which becomes source_entry_point.
    • explore_recommendation_tapped now carries recipe_id beside episode_id.
  • Echo chat: typed text is capped at 500 characters at the analytics boundary, and the reply text is no longer sent.
  • Settings:
    • settings_interaction is sent only when a value changes.
    • New per-control keys for Smart Downloads (smart_downloads_*), automatic downloads (auto_download_*) and Player appearance (mini_player_seek_buttons_toggled, full_player_style_changed).
  • In-app alerts: the announcement events carry announcement_id, title and presentation, and has_action matches the buttons the alert draws. The Android Auto overlay's Continue now sends dismissed.
  • Docs: glossary CSV and Markdown, the coverage list, module READMEs and the listener notes.
  • Style: ktlint fixes in files outside this change (:app and :core:playback tests, :core:database, :core:rss), so ktlintCheck passes on every module.

Behavior & compatibility

  • Listener-visible: fewer notification prompts and fewer, later review prompts. The NPS survey's 3-episode threshold uses the same count (finished in boxlore since install). Nothing else on screen changes.
  • Analytics compatibility:
    • Charts on feedback_submitted prompts, Explore taps, queue_modified clears or android_auto_* entry points will shift on this release.
    • Persons from earlier builds keep the nested $set_once property.
    • install_channel fills in for new installs only.
  • Storage: new keys review_milestone_consumed and library_imported_at in user_preferences, and a new prefs file boxlore_install_milestones (excluded from backup and device transfer). No existing name changes.
  • Updates: an install updated from an older build that already logged its first play won't send first_episode_played again.
  • Adaptive: no layout changes. The prompt and setting logic is unchanged on tablet, foldable and resized windows, and nothing new is held in composition. Not checked on a device.

Impact (required)

User impact — pick exactly one

Label Use when
user-impact-critical Critical fix — listeners already feel a correctness bug (missing episodes, late/wrong alerts, data loss)
user-impact-high Listeners clearly notice (player, search, downloads, onboarding, major UX)
user-impact-medium Noticeable but not headline (polish, secondary flows)
user-impact-low Minor user-facing tweak
no-user-impact CI, docs, tooling, internal-only — no listener-facing change
  • user-impact-critical
  • user-impact-high
  • user-impact-medium
  • user-impact-low
  • no-user-impact

Listener impact — required when user-impact-critical, user-impact-high, or user-impact-medium

What changes in the user’s life:

  • boxlore asks to send notifications when you turn them on for a show or finish importing your library, not every time you open Home.
  • The prompt to rate boxlore comes later and less often: it counts episodes you finish in boxlore on this phone, waits two days after installing or importing, and asks once per milestone.

Backend — optional, pairable with any user-impact level

  • backend-change

Release copy (verbatim)

CHANGELOG.md (required developer copy)

Added

  • engagement_prompt_shown, store_review_opened, feedback_sent and explore_surface_impression events.
  • Per-control settings_interaction keys for Smart Downloads, automatic downloads and Player appearance.
  • AnalyticsEmit.personSetOnce.
  • FirstPlayClaim, which sends first_episode_played once per install from the player.
  • EntryPointContext, the allowlist for playback event context.

Changed

  • Notification permission is requested only from a show's bell and the import card.
  • feedback_submitted is only the NPS survey trigger.
  • The review prompt counts episodes finished since install, uses each milestone once, and waits two days after install or a library import.
  • settings_interaction is sent only when a value changes.
  • Echo chat analytics cap typed text at 500 characters and drop the reply text.

Fixed

  • Phone plays were labelled android_auto_* because onAddMediaItems relabelled the app's own setMediaItems.
  • Explore For You impressions were sent as explore_recommendation_tapped.
  • install_channel was stored nested under a person property named $set_once.
  • Media item extras reached playback events, and context could overwrite canonical fields.
  • Every new episode or mix sent queue_modified clear.
  • Play's (not set) referrer counted as utm.

Listener notes (required for user-impact changes)

  • Listener notes already cover this change

Test plan

  • ./gradlew :core:analytics:testDebugUnitTest :core:prefs:testDebugUnitTest :core:catalog:testDebugUnitTest :core:playback:testDebugUnitTest :core:testing:testDebugUnitTest (all pass; includes PersonSetOnceTest, FirstPlayClaimTest, CarPlayLabelTest, ReviewPromptPreferencesTest, QueueRepositoryTest, AnalyticsBudgetTest, GlossaryCoverageGuardTest)
  • ./gradlew :feature:home:testDebugUnitTest :feature:info:testDebugUnitTest :feature:onboarding:testDebugUnitTest :feature:settings:testDebugUnitTest :feature:explore:testDebugUnitTest :app:testDebugUnitTest (all pass; phone goldens skipped as usual)
  • ./gradlew detekt ktlintCheck (every module)
  • PostHog checks behind the numbers above (14 and 30 days of production events)
  • Built / installed locally (./gradlew installDebug) when UI or app behavior changed
  • On the phone: no notification ask on Home; the show bell and the import card still ask
  • Required checks are green before merge, or a maintainer explicitly authorized a check bypass for this PR

Notes (optional)

  • Privacy page: the opening card no longer says there's no account. It now says analytics never includes your name or email, and that an account is optional, only backs up and syncs your library, and is never linked to your analytics. The boxlore.in privacy policy already says this.
  • At release: move charts to the new events, add a PostHog annotation, and check the Android Auto numbers drop to real car plays.

…vents

Notifications are requested only from a show's bell and the import card.
The review prompt counts episodes finished since install, uses each
milestone once and waits two days after install or a library import.

Analytics fixes: phone plays no longer labelled as Android Auto, Explore
impressions split from taps, review prompts no longer trigger the NPS
survey, set-once person properties go through the SDK's set-once slot,
playback events keep only allowed entry details, queue clears and batch
adds report what the listener did, Echo text is capped, and settings
report only real changes.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Review prompts count episodes finished on this device, wait two days after installation or library import, and appear only once per milestone.
    • Notification permission requests appear at relevant show and library-import surfaces instead of simply when Home opens.
    • Rating actions and feedback submissions are handled with more accurate tracking.
    • Playback and queue activity includes clearer context, including Android Auto playback and batch queue additions.
  • Privacy
    • Updated information clarifies that an optional account supports library backup and sync and isn’t linked to analytics.

This pull request updates analytics events and properties, review-prompt timing and milestone handling, first-play tracking, playback attribution, and instrumentation on app surfaces. It also changes settings and queue analytics and updates related tests, documentation, and backup rules.

Changes: Analytics and app instrumentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Analytics event contracts and emissions
core/analytics/src/main/java/..., core/analytics/src/test/java/..., docs/ANALYTICS_EVENT_GLOSSARY.md
Events distinguish survey triggers, engagement prompts, store-review launches, and sent feedback. Announcement events can include announcement metadata. Explore impressions use explore_surface_impression; recommendation taps remain separate.
Onboarding and attribution properties
core/analytics/src/main/java/..., core/analytics/src/test/java/..., core/catalog/src/main/java/..., feature/onboarding/...
Onboarding events cap submitted text at 500 characters and omit assistant reply text. Install attribution and first-onboarding properties use set-once person properties. Playback context uses an allowlist. Play’s (not set) UTM referrer maps to unknown.
Review-prompt eligibility and display
core/prefs/..., core/catalog/src/main/java/..., feature/home/..., app/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/ui/BoxLoreAppRoot.kt
Prompt eligibility uses installation and library-import quiet periods. Home counts completed episodes since installation. Displayed prompts consume milestones, and prompt analytics are recorded when the Home screen is resumed and the prompt is displayed.
First-play and playback attribution
core/playback/src/main/java/..., core/playback/src/test/java/..., app/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/BoxLoreApplication.kt, app/src/main/res/xml/...
First-play tracking uses a persisted claim and excludes install-specific state from backups and device transfers. Playback entry-point context is filtered, and Android Auto labels are applied only to car-originated requests.
Permission, announcement, feedback, and queue events
app/src/main/java/..., feature/info/src/main/java/..., feature/home/src/main/java/..., feature/settings/src/main/java/..., core/playback/src/main/java/...
Permission events include their surface. Announcement, review-launch, and successful feedback events gain tracking. Queue additions report an aggregate item count, and queue-clear events include a listener source when supplied.
Change-only settings analytics
app/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/navigation/NavGraphSettingsDestinations.kt, feature/settings/src/main/java/..., feature/settings/src/test/java/...
Settings interactions are recorded when a value differs from the observed value. Playback-duration selections remain persisted when the selected value is unchanged.

Full details: Architecture Compliance

Explanation

No architecture violation was introduced. The reviewed diff adds no feature-to-feature imports, and changed feature code routes analytics through cx.aswin.boxlore.core.analytics.AnalyticsHelper; no feature source imports or calls PostHog. No Hilt, Koin, Dagger, or MockK references were added, and no Gradle dependency changes occurred. The diff adds no PlaybackRepository or AppContainer construction. Changed catalog sources add no imports or references to core:designsystem or core:playback. The new boxlore_install_milestones preferences file has a stable name and is excluded in both backup-rule files; no existing identity, database, or work-name contract was renamed.

Full details: Module Readme Updated

Explanation

All changed production Kotlin is covered by a modified matching module README. The authoritative PR diff includes app/README.md, core/analytics/README.md, core/catalog/README.md, core/database/README.md, core/playback/README.md, core/prefs/README.md, core/rss/README.md, feature/home/README.md, feature/info/README.md, feature/onboarding/README.md, and feature/settings/README.md. No production-Kotlin module lacks README coverage. Prior failure addressed: The current PR diff modifies core/database/README.md and core/rss/README.md, each documenting its corresponding production Kotlin change. This resolves the prior missing-README finding.

Full details: Unresolved Review Threads

Explanation

One current CodeRabbit finding remains outstanding. The finding at AutoBrowseLibraryCallback.kt:641 has no resolved or dismissed status. The 19 posted threads are marked discussion=resolved, but the current finding says an empty Android Auto request can consume a phone play’s pending entry point.

Resolution

Fix the empty-request path so it does not consume a pending entry point that it did not create, then mark the finding resolved. Alternatively, explicitly dismiss it with a short rationale.

Full details: Jvm Tests For Changed Logic

Explanation

The standing failure remains unresolved. The PR changes install-scoped review counts and prompt/survey selection in HomeViewModelLoadData.kt, and changes HomeUiAssemblyLogic.assemble to return an install-scoped count. The added Home tests cover countFinishedSince and ReviewPromptRecorder, but HomeUiAssemblyLogicTest still supplies empty history and does not assert installedAtMs behavior. The PR changes batch queue analytics in PodcastInfoEpisodeActions.kt, but no feature/info/src/test test covers duplicates, zero additions, aggregate items_count, or a later failure. The PR changes playback-duration analytics and persistence in NavGraphSettingsDestinations.kt, but no JVM test covers changed and unchanged selections. The current diff adds no matching tests for these behaviors.

Resolution

Add hermetic JVM tests under the affected modules. Test Home prompt selection and survey/milestone behavior with pre-install and post-install finished episodes, and assert HomeUiAssemblyLogic.assemble returns the install-scoped count. Test batch queue additions with duplicate episodes, zero successful additions, one aggregate queue_modified event with items_count, and a later repository failure. Test playback-duration selections for changed and unchanged values, and verify persistence in both cases.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 41.03% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 39 functions across 78 files. (3 skipped: 3 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

- Line 343: Move the firstPlay ownership claim in the playback-start flow before
any suspendable metadata or podcast lookups, then track the episode associated

- Around line 10-11: Update the handlePlayAllNewEpisodes flow so it sets the
car-play label only after confirming that newEpisodes contains a playable item,
preventing an empty request from leaving stale PendingEntryPoint context for a
later phone play. Keep labelCarPlay’s false case as a no-op so app-owned pending
context is preserved.

- Line 192: Update the first-play claim logic using isUpdatedInstall() and
hasLoggedFirstPlay so a restored legacy preference on a new installation is not
treated as an in-place upgrade; migrate the legacy flag only when the
installation state confirms an in-place upgrade, allowing the new installation’s
first-play event to be recorded.

Review comments at

episodes.distinctBy(Episode::id) and playbackRepository.addToQueue so a later
failure still emits a queue_modified event for additions that succeeded earlier.
Report the successful count on the failure path, then preserve the existing
failure propagation and avoid reporting the same additions twice.
- Line 254: Add JVM test coverage for
PodcastInfoEpisodeActions.addEpisodesToQueue that verifies duplicate episode IDs
trigger only one addition attempt, rejected additions are excluded from
itemsCount, and a selection with no successful additions sends no queue-modified
event.

Review comments at
@feature/settings/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/feature/settings/feedback/FeedbackViewModel.kt:
- Around line 222-227: Extend FeedbackViewModelTest to verify that successful
submission tracks the feedback event with the expected category, withEmail, and
withDiagnostics properties, and that failed submission tracks no event. Keep the
changes scoped to analytics coverage for FeedbackViewModel.

Review comments at
@feature/settings/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/feature/settings/SettingsScreen.kt:
- Around line 778-779: Update the guard around
AnalyticsHelper.trackSettingsInteraction to compare every field changed by the
theme selection, including wallpaperColors. Emit the interaction using the key
and value of the field that actually changed, and emit nothing when no control
value changes.

Included review availability: This review used your included allowance. Your plan provides up to 2 included reviews per hour; 1 remain after this review.

A decided review prompt is used up only once its sheet is on screen.
Restored milestones without local listening are dropped, installs
prompted before the update keep their milestone used, and the quiet
days also start when an import begins and on an account's first sync.
first_episode_played is claimed in listen start order and survives an
update of a restored phone. Queue auto-advance and skips keep their
entry point, Explore taps carry recipe_id, theme changes count
wallpaper colours, and a skipped setup records zero initial shows.
store_review_opened is sent once Play hands back a review flow. A car
request that finds nothing to play drops its label, so a later phone
play can't take it. A batch add reports what was added even if a later
add fails. FeedbackViewModelTest covers feedback_sent.

- Line 147: The production Kotlin change in ListeningInsightsMaintenance is
missing the module documentation update; add core/database/README.md to the PR
with documentation relevant to this change.

Review comments at
@core/playback/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/core/playback/PlaybackTelemetrySession.kt:
- Line 349: Update the first-play flow around FirstPlayClaim.claim() and
trackFirstEpisodePlayed so claiming does not permanently consume the milestone
before the event is emitted. Commit the claim only after successful emission, or
keep it pending and retryable if enrichment is cancelled or metadata lookup
fails.

@core/playback/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/core/playback/service/auto/AutoBrowseLibraryCallback.kt:
- Line 646: Update itemsToAdd to handle an empty mediaItems list before
accessing its first element, returning an empty mutable list so the callback can
complete without throwing.

@core/playback/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/core/playback/service/BoxLorePlaybackService.kt:
- Line 191: Split BoxLorePlaybackService by extracting suitable service helpers
into same-package Kotlin source files, keeping BoxLorePlaybackService’s identity
and public API unchanged and ensuring the source is under 1000 lines.

Review comments at
@core/rss/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/core/rss/RssPodcastRepository.kt:
- Line 209: Update the RSS module README to document the production Kotlin

with the implemented behavior.

analytics only once. Follow the existing ViewModel test setup and assertions.

Review comments at

Included review availability: This review used your included allowance. Your plan provides up to 2 included reviews per hour; 0 remain after this review.

The first-play claim is a ticket saved only once the event is sent, so
a listen whose lookups fail or are cancelled hands it to a later one.
An empty media-item request returns nothing instead of throwing. The
database and rss READMEs note the ktlint-only changes.
