fix(analytics): ask the NPS survey after finishes across restarts, carry the old wait only for answers - #1239
In the week after 0.0.30, no real listener was offered the new survey. Of the people who finished an episode on 0.0.30, most were on the carried-over 90-day wait: either they had seen the old popover, or their phone had marked it shown before it ever appeared (nps_survey_fired was set at eligibility). Most of the rest never reached the moment: a finish in this run, within two hours, with nothing playing. The next episode often plays straight on, and a restart forgets the finish.
What changed
NpsSurveyStore.carryOverLegacy keeps the wait only when nps_last_score is set (the old survey was answered). A one-time revision (legacy_revised) lifts 0.0.30's wait where the listener never answered. It keeps a real 0.0.30 showing, which wrote the shared prompt time at the same moment.
NpsSurveySchedule.FINISH_MOMENT_WINDOW_MS is now 6 hours, and the finish no longer has to be in this run. PlaybackFinishes.onRecorded hands each finish to EngagementPromptCoordinator.recordFinish, which keeps the latest in NpsSurveyStore. Home reads lastFinishedAtMs (the in-memory finish, or the one kept on disk).
EngagementPreferences.lastEngagementPromptAtMs reads the shared prompt time.
The milestone review prompt shares the finish moment, so it gets the same 6-hour, restart-safe window.
Behavior & compatibility
Listeners who answered the old survey still wait 90 days from the update. Everyone else is asked like a new install: 3 finishes here, a week installed, not the first run, quiet days, the shared 14-day cooldown, and nothing playing.
The survey can now appear when a listener comes back within 6 hours of a finish, after a restart too. It still never appears on an open without a recent finish.
No server, PostHog survey or payload changes. The survey ID and events are unchanged.

Fixed
The NPS survey's 90-day carry-over from the old survey applies only when it was answered (nps_last_score); a one-time revision lifts 0.0.30's wait for the rest. The finish moment is 6 hours and survives restarts: PlaybackFinishes.onRecorded → EngagementPromptCoordinator.recordFinish → NpsSurveyStore.

Test plan
JVM regression tests:
NpsSurveyScheduleTest: a finish before a restart still makes the moment; the 6-hour window.
NpsSurveyStoreTest: the latest finish is kept; the wait applies only after an answer; the revision lifts 0.0.30's wait and keeps an answer or a real showing.
EngagementPromptCoordinatorSurveyTest: a finish kept across a coordinator restart.
PlaybackFinishesTest: every finish is handed on.
:feature:home NPS tests, detekt, and ktlintCheck for the changed modules.
Required checks are green before merge, or a maintainer explicitly authorized a check bypass for this PR.
Notes (optional)
No layout or state changes, so the adaptive phone, tablet and fold states are unaffected.
Separately, the old PostHog popover survey is stopped, so old app versions no longer show it.
…rry the old wait only for answers
v0.0.30 carried the old survey's 90-day wait over for every phone that marked it shown, including ones that never displayed it, and the finish moment lived in memory for two hours. Together they kept every real listener from being asked.
The Home recommendation question can now appear after an episode finish even if you restart the app, as long as you return within six hours.
Eligible prompts are no longer limited to finishes from the current app session.
The recommendation question can reach listeners who were previously skipped since the last update.
Survey timing now accounts for episode finishes across app restarts, with a six-hour eligibility window.
Updated installs retain the waiting period for listeners who answered the previous survey; listeners who only saw it are treated like new survey participants.
Playback finishes are now persisted across restarts and used for NPS prompt timing. The schedule, coordinator, store, app wiring, tests, docs, and release note were updated to use the retained finish timestamp and revised legacy carry-over rules.
Changes: NPS finish timing and carry-over
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Schedule and survey state core/prefs/src/main/java/..., core/prefs/src/test/..., core/prefs/README.md, feature/home/README.md
The finish-moment rule now uses a six-hour window and no longer depends on process start. The survey store retains finish timestamps and revises legacy carry-over with answer state and prior prompt time. Tests and docs cover the new window, stored finishes, and carry-over cases.
PlaybackFinishes now calls a recorded-finish callback. The app wires that callback to EngagementPromptCoordinator.recordFinish, which stores finish timestamps and reads the latest in-run or stored finish for survey checks. Home uses the coordinator result, and the docs and release note describe the updated flow.
Tests cover callback delivery, persisted finish lookup after coordinator recreation, the six-hour schedule boundary, and the updated legacy carry-over behavior.
boxcreate/boxlore#1227: Introduces the NPS schedule and legacy wait carry-over that this change revises.
boxcreate/boxlore#1226: Changes milestone review eligibility using local finishes, which this change also uses as context for finish-based prompt timing.
Merge Risk: Low · previous review bc017
Survey and review prompt timing now survives restarts, and a future-dated finish no longer blocks prompts. One narrow edge case remains: a backward clock change at the instant of a finish can discard an earlier qualifying finish. Impact is limited to a missed prompt, so this is mergeable with a small follow-up guard.
