Summary

  • Sailfish OS audio no longer discards Web Audio oscillator calls. stop() turns the scheduled interval into a sine, square, sawtooth, or triangle tone and mixes it into an SDL2 audio device, so app countdown beeps and short melodies are audible.
  • Overlapping notes share one mixer, with short fade in/out to avoid clicks. The device opens on the first tone; a failure (for example a missing Sailjail Audio permission) is logged once.
  • flushPlayback stays a no-op for core 0.1.34+. playFile and playPcm are still unsupported on this target.

Test plan

  • aarch64 RPM built with sfdk/mb2 for SailfishOS-5.1.0.11 (Kumsaati app)
  • Install on a Redmi Note 8 and confirm the last-five-seconds countdown beeps and the cycle-end melody play

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Sailfish OS apps support the system keyboard, including text entry, Backspace, Enter, and password fields.
    • Sailfish OS supports audio tones with several waveform options.
    • RPM packaging supports armv7hl and aarch64 alongside i486.
  • Improvements

    • Mouse, touch, and scroll input map more consistently to the app canvas when window and canvas sizes differ.
    • Sailfish build commands support clean builds and provide clearer error details when a build fails.
    • Sailfish apps can use installed framework packages and configured native sources.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The Sailfish target now supports app-local package and native-source preparation, build recovery, Maliit keyboard input, window-to-canvas pointer mapping, and SDL tone playback. Build configuration, scripts, RPM metadata, and target documentation also change.

Changes

Sailfish OS target

Layer / File(s) Summary
Package resolution and native-source preparation
README.md, targets/sailfish-os/prepare-lib.mjs, targets/sailfish-os/prepare.mjs, targets/sailfish-os/CMakeLists.txt, targets/sailfish-os/README.md
Preparation resolves framework packages, validates and stages app-native sources and include paths, and generates CMake and RPM requirements for configured libraries. CMake links GLib and configured pkg-config libraries. Documentation covers supported RPM architectures, setup, native sources, and verification notes.
Build recovery and SDK scripts
targets/sailfish-os/build-sailfish-os.sh, targets/sailfish-os/build-sailfish-os.ps1, targets/sailfish-os/recover-build.mjs, targets/sailfish-os/prepare.test.mjs, targets/sailfish-os/README.md
Both build scripts use the app-local project path, run recovery, support clean builds, and report SDK build failures. Recovery removes invalid object files and, in clean mode, staged build outputs. Tests check recovery behavior; documentation describes build commands and output paths.
Window-to-canvas pointer mapping
targets/sailfish-os/main/sailfish_display.cpp, targets/sailfish-os/main/sailfish_main.cpp, targets/sailfish-os/README.md
The display backend reports window dimensions and converts window points to canvas pixels. Mouse, finger, and wheel input use the shared conversion. The documentation describes the mapping and sizing behavior.
Maliit keyboard and focused-input handling
targets/sailfish-os/include/sailfish_keyboard.h, targets/sailfish-os/main/sailfish_keyboard.cpp, targets/sailfish-os/main/sailfish_main.cpp, targets/sailfish-os/README.md
The keyboard bridge connects to Maliit over D-Bus and forwards text, Backspace, and Enter through callbacks. Focused-input handling validates UTF-8, removes one code point on Backspace, updates keyboard visibility, and keeps focused inputs in view.
SDL oscillator tone playback
targets/sailfish-os/main/sailfish_audio.cpp
The audio backend adds pooled oscillators and SDL tone output. Its callback mixes supported waveforms with fades and clamped gain; stopPlayback clears active tones.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 033d8

The change is mergeable with a bounded audio-quality risk: rare overlapping-note bursts may cut off one tone abruptly.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 033d8

The changes remain concentrated in the Sailfish target, but password-input protection depends on a keyboard update that can fail without being retried. A partial failure can leave local password-mode state inconsistent with the keyboard service. No password disclosure or broader privilege escalation was demonstrated.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The newly introduced keyboard bridge can cache password mode even when its remote policy update fails. It assigns hidden-text and focus state before sending updateWidgetInformation, ignores the result, and suppresses identical subsequent updates. If the keyboard remains visible under the preceding non-password policy, a failed transition can leave prediction enabled without automatic resynchronization. Actual password retention or disclosure by the keyboard service was not demonstrated.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated security-sensitive reach is the active input and keyboard-policy state of a Sailfish application. A substituted peer would require control of endpoint selection or the platform service boundary before invoking these callbacks. No cross-tenant, elevated-privilege, or remote network attack path was established; missing graph and platform-policy coverage prevent a repository-wide containment conclusion.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A partial failure while changing a visible keyboard from ordinary text to password input can leave the remote prediction policy stale while the application caches the requested password state. Repeated identical updates then return early. This is a plausible protection failure, not evidence that an attacker received password text.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The bridge uses GDBus authenticated-client connection setup and exports its input context only on the selected peer connection. Its method handler does not independently check sender identity. Effective authorization therefore depends on endpoint selection and platform policy, which were not supplied; the connection flag alone does not establish trusted Maliit identity.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Keyboard initialization clears the peer after XML or registration failure, but later remote-call failures return false without invalidating it. Focus, hidden-text, and visibility updates ignore those results. Normal event-loop pumping consequently does not itself restore agreement between local cached state and remote keyboard policy.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Separate desired keyboard policy from successfully delivered policy, retain a retryable dirty state after failure, and define a fail-safe password-input transition when hidden-text protection cannot be synchronized. Endpoint authorization should be established against the actual Sailfish launch and session policy rather than assumed from connection setup.

Include <stdbool.h> or restrict the header to C++.

The header uses bool but includes no header that defines it. Clang reports the header parsed as C. In C, bool is undefined before C23, and the typedefs fail. The current consumers compile it as C++. Any C translation unit, or a header check run as C, breaks.

🟡 Minor · Give each app library a unique pkg-config prefix. · prepare-lib.mjs:54-66

targets/sailfish-os/prepare-lib.mjs:54-66
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Give each app library a unique pkg-config prefix.

When an app declares both foo-bar and foo_bar, MAKE_C_IDENTIFIER maps both prefixes to gea_app_foo_bar. If the first module creates that imported target, CMake 3.16 does not update it during the second call. The loop then links the first target twice and omits the second module’s link requirements. An app that uses both modules can fail to link. Append a per-entry index to each prefix.

Suggested fix
+set(GEA_APP_LIBRARY_INDEX 0)
 foreach(GEA_APP_LIBRARY ${GEA_APP_LIBRARIES})
-  string(MAKE_C_IDENTIFIER "gea_app_${GEA_APP_LIBRARY}" GEA_APP_LIBRARY_TARGET)
+  string(MAKE_C_IDENTIFIER "gea_app_${GEA_APP_LIBRARY_INDEX}_${GEA_APP_LIBRARY}" GEA_APP_LIBRARY_TARGET)
   pkg_check_modules(${GEA_APP_LIBRARY_TARGET} REQUIRED IMPORTED_TARGET ${GEA_APP_LIBRARY})
   target_link_libraries(${GEA_PACKAGE_NAME} PRIVATE PkgConfig::${GEA_APP_LIBRARY_TARGET})

Summary

  • Sailfish OS audio no longer discards Web Audio oscillator calls. stop() turns the scheduled interval into a sine, square, sawtooth, or triangle tone and mixes it into one SDL2 device, so countdown beeps and short melodies are audible. Overlapping notes share that mixer, with a short fade in and out to avoid clicks. The device opens on the first tone; a failure, such as a missing Sailjail Audio permission, is logged once. flushPlayback stays a no-op for core 0.1.34+. playFile and playPcm are still unsupported on this target.
  • Focusing an <input> opens the Sailfish system keyboard (Maliit); blurring or dismissing it hides the keyboard. type="password" is sent as hidden text with prediction off. The bridge uses GIO, which Harbour allows, and does not link libmaliit-glib. Gea's own on-screen keyboard is off for this target. If Maliit is absent, that is logged and SDL input continues.
  • Hardware and Maliit text input insert valid UTF-8, not only ASCII. Backspace deletes the last Unicode code point, so ç, ğ, ı, İ, ö, ş, and ü round-trip. Enter from either source reaches the focused input as the same key. When the keyboard shrinks the window, the focused field is scrolled into view.
  • Touch, mouse, and wheel positions all go through sailfish_window_to_canvas(), from window points to canvas pixels. The window is created without SDL_WINDOW_ALLOW_HIGHDPI, so a devicePixelRatio of 2 is not applied a second time and taps no longer hit the wrong control. The same mapping is used after resize.
  • The staged project is written under the app at .gea-sailfish/. Framework sources come from the app's installed @geastack packages; a separate core checkout is optional. If --core-repo or -CoreRepository is set, the checkout's core, host, engine, elements, and geaos versions must match the installed packages.
  • Apps can add Sailfish-only C and C++ with gea.sailfish.nativeSources, extra header directories with includePaths, and pkg-config modules with libraries. An includePaths directory is copied even when its own name is an excluded directory such as dist; nested excluded directories are still skipped. Each library is linked and added to the RPM BuildRequires. Names that normalize to the same C identifier, such as foo-bar and foo_bar, get separate pkg-config targets and are both linked.
  • Before every sfdk build, empty, non-ELF, or truncated object files left by an interrupted build are removed, so the linker does not treat them as up to date. --clean and -Clean also remove the staged RPM and CMake outputs. If sfdk fails, the script exits with its status and prints the last error line from the log. On Windows PowerShell 5.1, diagnostics on stderr do not stop the script before that exit code is read.
  • The root README now lists i486, armv7hl, and aarch64 RPM packaging. The Sailfish README documents install, a device smoke list, and two limits that stay outside this package: runtime TTF coverage belongs to @geastack/engine, and declare function host bindings belong to @geastack/compiler.

Test plan

  • aarch64 RPM built with sfdk/mb2 for SailfishOS-5.1.0.11 (Kumsaati app)
  • Install on a Redmi Note 8 and confirm the last-five-seconds countdown beeps and the cycle-end melody play
  • Reinstall this tree and repeat tap, scroll, keyboard, Backspace, Enter, and password checks at DPR 1 and DPR 2. The notes in the Sailfish README record an earlier phone run, before the keyboard and coordinate fixes in this branch.
