Walkthrough

Changes

Keystore Alias Isolation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Configurable Keystore alias app/src/main/kotlin/io/privkey/keep/storage/AndroidKeystoreStorage.kt	AndroidKeystoreStorage accepts a configurable Keystore alias. Key creation, security inspection, legacy lookup, and deletion use that alias.
Frost test storage isolation app/src/androidTest/kotlin/io/privkey/keep/nip55/FrostSigningIntegrationTest.kt	The integration test uses keep_frost_share_test and removes stale authentication-gated material under the test-only alias.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 05228

The integration test uses a dedicated keystore alias but still shares the application's legacy preference namespace; a stale test key could therefore delete an existing legacy share. The PR should not merge until the test storage is isolated or this risk is explicitly accepted.

Poem

A rabbit guards the test-keystore door,
One alias serves the tests, production no more.
Stale keys hop out at dawn,
The real share stays safely drawn.
“Clean runs!” thumps my paw.

Verified on a Pixel 9a running Android 17: 291 tests, 0 failures, 5 skipped, matching main exactly. Local gate green (unit tests, lintDebug, RNG hygiene guard).

The design is the right one. A constructor val defaulting to KEYSTORE_ALIAS means production is unchanged by construction and the seam cannot be reassigned at runtime, which is better than the mutable strongBoxUseTimeProbe pattern. I checked every production call site was converted rather than assuming: getOrCreateKey, getSecurityLevel, deleteShare and the legacy branch of getOrCreateKeyForShare all read keystoreAlias now, and the only remaining mentions of KEYSTORE_ALIAS are its definition and the doc comment. Giving the test its own key genuinely removes the create-race, which is a better fix than timing luck.

One thing to reconsider: the removed assumeFalse guard.

The justification is that SHARE_KEY_ALIAS is test-exclusive, so an auth-gated key there is never a real user share. That holds for the key. It does not hold for the operation: deleteShare() clears prefs first, and prefs is the hardcoded PREFS_NAME = "keep_secure_prefs", the shared production legacy store. The alias parameter isolates the key; it does not isolate the data.

Verified rather than argued. Seeded an auth-gated keep_frost_share_test plus a sentinel in keep_secure_prefs, ran the class, read it back:

IPROBE seeded authGatedTestAlias=true
OK (13 tests)
IPROBE sentinel = null

Being clear about reachability, because it changes how much this matters: I had to create that auth-gated test alias by hand. Nothing in the test creates keep_frost_share_test with requireUserAuth = true, so authRequired is false and deleteShare() never fires on a real run. This is a latent mismatch between the comment's reasoning and what the call actually does, not a live destruction path, and I am not calling it a blocker.

It is still worth closing, because the guard being removed is the one added in #504 after exactly this class of thing destroyed a share, and the argument retiring it is narrower than the operation it licenses. Two cheap options: keep the hasShare() check (it costs nothing on the isolated alias, since it will not trip), or scope the reset to keyStore.deleteEntry(SHARE_KEY_ALIAS) directly instead of routing through deleteShare(), which is all the test actually needs. The second also makes the isolation claim true rather than nearly true.

Worth adding a line to the comment either way: the alias is isolated, the legacy prefs are not.

No blockers. CI is still running; happy for this to land once it is green.

[wksantiago]

Thanks — this is exactly the concern, and it's addressed on the current head (532d601, now 2eedff1 after a rebase onto #508), which landed just before your comment; your probe hit the earlier alias-only commit (052287a). The IPROBE sentinel = null is the tell: that only happens without prefs isolation.

Rather than keep the hasShare() guard or scope to deleteEntry, this adds a prefsSuffix constructor seam that isolates all three prefs namespaces (legacy keep_secure_prefs, per-share, and the registry). That covers not just deleteShare() but also the fixture-write path and the registry reads, so the isolation claim is true rather than nearly true. Re-running your seeding against this head, the sentinel in keep_secure_prefs survives. I've also added a line to the reset comment noting the prefs are isolated.

Confirmed on 2eedff1. You are right that my probe hit 052287a; I checked the SHAs before replying rather than assuming either way, and that commit has no prefsSuffix, so the null sentinel was accurate for what I ran and superseded by what you pushed.

Re-ran the identical probe against this head:

IPROBE seeded authGatedTestAlias=true
OK (13 tests)
IPROBE sentinel = production-legacy-share

The legacy share survives. The 13 cases also still execute rather than skip, which was the other half worth checking, since an over-broad isolation could have quietly disabled the class instead of protecting it.

Suffixing all three namespaces is a better answer than either fix I proposed. Keeping the hasShare() guard or scoping to deleteEntry would each have left the isolation claim nearly true: the fixture-write path and the registry reads would still have been touching production namespaces, and I had not enumerated those. Isolating legacy, per-share and registry together makes the claim actually true, and prefsSuffix = "" by default keeps every production path byte-identical.

Full verification on this head, Pixel 9a, Android 17: 291 tests, 0 failures, 5 skipped, matching main. Local gate green (unit tests, lintDebug, RNG hygiene guard). CI green.

No blockers.
