 # Mobile Capacitor
 
-This chapter explains how to put a JSKIT app on an Android phone with the
-Capacitor shell.
-
-The normal result is:
-
-- your JSKIT web app runs inside an Android shell
-- the app can talk to your backend
-- deep links and auth callback routing still go through normal JSKIT routes
-- you can rebuild, reinstall, tunnel, and restart with `jskit mobile ...`
-
-## Install it
-
-From the app root:
-
-```bash
-npx jskit add package @jskit-ai/mobile-capacitor
-```
-
-That command:
-
-- installs `@jskit-ai/mobile-capacitor`
-- installs the required Capacitor packages
-- seeds `config.mobile` if it is missing
-- renders `capacitor.config.json`
-- provisions `android/`
-- refreshes the managed Android shell files from `config.mobile`
-
-After that, run:
-
-```bash
-npx jskit mobile android doctor
-```
-
-If doctor passes, the app is ready for the normal mobile workflow.
-The `jskit mobile android ...` commands expect
-`@jskit-ai/mobile-capacitor` in the installed npm graph; they do not install the
-runtime package for you.
-
-## What you need on your machine
-
-::: tip Required Host Tools
-Before this workflow is healthy, the machine needs all of the following:
-
-- `adb` on `PATH`
-- Android SDK installed, with the required platform and build-tools
-- a full JDK, not just a runtime
-- `java` on `PATH`
-- `javac` on `PATH`
-- `ANDROID_HOME` or `ANDROID_SDK_ROOT` set, or `android/local.properties` with `sdk.dir=...`
-- `JAVA_HOME` pointing at a full JDK if `java` / `javac` are not already resolved correctly from `PATH`
-
-The end state should be:
-
-- `adb devices -l` works
-- `java -version` works
-- `javac -version` works
-- `npx jskit mobile android doctor` passes
-:::
-
-If you installed Android Studio, its bundled JDK is often the easiest working
-Java home:
-
-```bash
-export JAVA_HOME="$HOME/android-studio/jbr"
-export PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH"
-```
-
-## Put the app on your phone
-
-Start the backend first:
-
-```bash
-PORT=3000 npm run server
-```
-
-Then use the all-in-one command:
-
-```bash
-npx jskit mobile android dev
-```
-
-This is the one-stop shop for local Android phone testing.
-
-It runs these commands in this exact order:
-
-```bash
-npx jskit mobile android sync
-npx jskit mobile android tunnel
-npx jskit mobile android run
-```
-
-That first step is important: for bundled apps, `npx jskit mobile android sync` runs `npm run build` first and then runs `cap sync android`. So yes, `npx jskit mobile android dev` does build the app before it installs/runs the Android shell.
-
-If more than one Android device is attached:
-
-```bash
-npx jskit mobile android devices
-npx jskit mobile android dev --target <device-id>
-```
-
-That is the shortest path.
-
-## Manual commands
-
-If you want to run the steps yourself instead of using `mobile android dev`,
-these are the commands that matter.
-
-### List devices
-
-```bash
-npx jskit mobile android devices
-```
-
-Prints the Android devices currently visible to `adb`.
-
-### Sync the Android shell
-
-```bash
-npx jskit mobile android sync
-```
-
-This:
-
-- refreshes the managed mobile files from `config.mobile`
-- builds the JSKIT web app into `dist/`
-- runs `cap sync android`
-
-The refresh step requires the managed files from the package install to exist.
-If `capacitor.config.json` or `.jskit/mobile-capacitor.md` is missing, install
-the package again with `npx jskit add package @jskit-ai/mobile-capacitor`.
-
-### Create the local tunnel
-
-```bash
-npx jskit mobile android tunnel
-```
-
-If you want a specific device:
-
-```bash
-npx jskit mobile android tunnel --target <device-id>
-```
-
-This command creates the `adb reverse` tunnel that lets the phone reach your
-laptop's local backend.
-
-### Install and run the app
-
-```bash
-npx jskit mobile android run
-```
-
-Or:
+Use `@jskit-ai/mobile-capacitor` when the web application should run inside a
+Capacitor Android shell.
 
 ```bash
-npx jskit mobile android run --target <device-id>
+npm install @jskit-ai/mobile-capacitor \
+  @capacitor/android @capacitor/app @capacitor/cli
 ```
 
-This launches the Android shell through Capacitor.
-
-### Restart cleanly
-
-```bash
-npx jskit mobile android restart
-```
-
-Or:
-
-```bash
-npx jskit mobile android restart --target <device-id>
-```
-
-This:
-
-- clears app data
-- force-stops the Android app
-- cold-starts `MainActivity`
-
-Use it when you want a clean signed-out state.
-
-## The command set
-
-These are the CLI mobile commands used by the package workflow:
-
-- `jskit mobile android devices`
-  - list visible Android devices
-- `jskit mobile android doctor`
-  - validate config, shell files, SDK, and host readiness
-- `jskit mobile android dev`
-  - run the standard local-phone development flow
-- `jskit mobile android sync`
-  - rebuild and sync the Android shell
-- `jskit mobile android tunnel`
-  - create and verify the `adb reverse` tunnel
-- `jskit mobile android run`
-  - launch the Android shell
-- `jskit mobile android restart`
-  - clear app data and cold-start the app
-- `jskit mobile android build`
-  - build the Android release bundle
-
-## The default local-dev setup
-
-When `jskit add package @jskit-ai/mobile-capacitor` seeds `config.mobile` for the first time, it
-creates a working local-dev default.
-
-The important part is:
-
-```js
-config.mobile = {
-  enabled: true,
-  strategy: "capacitor",
-  assetMode: "bundled",
-  apiBaseUrl: "http://127.0.0.1:3000",
-  auth: {
-    callbackPath: "/auth/login",
-    customScheme: "your-app-slug"
-  }
-};
-```
-
-That default is good for local phone development against your laptop.
-
-It also means:
-
-- the backend must be running on your laptop
-- the app needs an `adb reverse` tunnel
-
-An `apiBaseUrl` that points to a remote `https://...` backend uses the device's
-normal network connection and does not need the tunnel.
-
-## A good day-to-day loop
-
-Once the package is installed, the normal loop is:
-
-```bash
-PORT=3000 npm run server
-npx jskit mobile android dev
-```
-
-If you want to rerun steps manually, a predictable sequence is:
+Use the `mobile/android-application` pattern for the small app-owned Capacitor
+configuration. Then use Capacitor and Android tools directly:
 
 ```bash
-npx jskit mobile android sync
-npx jskit mobile android tunnel
-npx jskit mobile android run
+npx cap add android
+npm run build
+npx cap sync android
+npx cap run android
 ```
 
-And if you need a clean state afterward:
-
-```bash
-npx jskit mobile android restart
-```
-
-## Behind the scenes
-
-### `config.mobile` is the source of truth
-
-The Android shell is not configured by hand in scattered native files. JSKIT
-renders the shell from `config.mobile`.
-
-That config drives:
-
-- Capacitor app id and app name
-- Android package name
-- app version values
-- API base URL
-- auth callback path
-- custom URL scheme
-
-### The shell is still a JSKIT web app
-
-The UI still comes from the JSKIT web client.
-
-Stage 1 mobile does not turn JSKIT into a native UI framework. It packages the
-web app into a Capacitor Android shell.
-
-That is why `jskit mobile android sync` still builds the web app first.
-
-### Managed files
-
-The package manages:
-
-- `capacitor.config.json`
-- `.jskit/mobile-capacitor.md`
-- the Android shell under `android/`
-- managed Android identity files such as:
-  - `android/app/build.gradle`
-  - `android/variables.gradle`
-  - `android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml`
-  - `MainActivity.java` or `MainActivity.kt`
-- the managed deep-link block in `AndroidManifest.xml`
-
-After the package is installed, `jskit mobile android sync` refreshes those
-managed files from `config.mobile`.
-
-### Why the tunnel exists
-
-Inside the Android shell, the phone's `127.0.0.1` is the phone itself, not your
-laptop.
-
-So when local development uses:
-
-```text
-http://127.0.0.1:3000
-```
-
-the phone still needs a bridge back to your laptop.
-
-That bridge is:
-
-```bash
-adb reverse tcp:3000 tcp:3000
-```
-
-`jskit mobile android tunnel` wraps that and shows `adb reverse --list`
-afterward so you can see the active mapping.
-
-### What happens to URLs
-
-Inside the Capacitor shell there are two relevant URL worlds:
-
-- shell/webview origin:
-  - `https://localhost/...`
-- backend/API origin:
-  - usually `config.mobile.apiBaseUrl`
-
-JSKIT keeps app code using normal relative server paths such as:
-
-- `/api/session`
-- `/api/bootstrap`
-- `/socket.io/...`
-
-The mobile runtime adapts those requests to the configured backend origin.
-
-That is why app code does not need a separate "mobile API client" pattern for
-the standard JSKIT server routes.
-
-### Why local HTTP works on Android
-
-For the local-dev case, the backend URL is often plain `http`.
-
-The mobile shell therefore needs:
-
-- Capacitor native HTTP enabled
-- Android cleartext traffic allowed for the generated shell
-
-Without those, Android or the WebView will block local backend traffic even if
-the tunnel itself is correct.
-
-### Auth and deep links
-
-The mobile shell does not invent a separate auth route system.
-
-The normal contract stays:
+JSKIT does not wrap Capacitor, `adb`, Android Studio, or Gradle in another CLI.
 
-- OAuth start opens in the external browser/custom tab
-- callback returns through the app's custom scheme
-- callback path is still the normal JSKIT path:
-  - `/auth/login`
+## Product decisions
 
-Deep links and auth completion are normalized back into the normal JSKIT router.
+Choose the stable application id, display name, built web directory, callback
+URLs, development server policy, native permissions, and signing/release
+ownership before creating the Android project.
 
-### What `doctor` is actually checking
+## Invariants
 
-`jskit mobile android doctor` is the preflight command for this whole lane.
+- `webDir` matches the application's production build output.
+- Development origins never leak into release configuration.
+- Deep links and auth callbacks enter through explicit application routes.
+- Navigation leaving the application uses the package's public mobile routing
+  capability.
+- The Android project and signing configuration are ordinary app-owned source;
+  signing secrets remain outside Git.
 
-It checks:
+## Verification
 
-- `config.mobile`
-- managed shell file freshness
-- Android shell presence
-- deep-link wiring
-- Android SDK basics
-- host readiness for the shell path
+Build the web application, sync Android, launch on an explicitly selected
+device, exercise callbacks and external links, then build the intended native
+release variant.
 
-If mobile work looks strange, run doctor first.
+Do not hide device selection, write signing keys into source, or recreate a
+JSKIT-specific mobile command language or operation receipt.
