## 1. Architectural & Engineering Standards (Clean Architecture)

### 1.1 Folder & Package Structure

Organize the codebase following feature-based modularization, isolating features into self-contained architectural directories:

```
app/src/main/java/com/company/myapp/
├── core/                         # Shared utilities, DI modules, theme, navigators
│   ├── di/                       # Global AppModule, NetworkModule, DatabaseModule
│   ├── theme/                    # Color, Type, Shape, Theme definitions
│   └── utils/                    # Extensions, formatters, cryptography helpers
└── features/                     # Feature-specific modules
    └── [feature_name]/           # e.g., authentication, dashboard, onboarding
        ├── domain/               # Pure Business Logic (No android framework imports)
        │   ├── entities/         # Business domain models (standard Kotlin classes)
        │   ├── usecases/         # Single-responsibility use cases
        │   └── repositories/     # Repository interfaces (abstractions)
        ├── data/                 # Platform & External Systems
        │   ├── datasources/      # Local (Room/DataStore) & Remote (Retrofit/Ktor) sources
        │   ├── dto/              # API and DB data transfer objects (with @Serializable)
        │   └── repositories/     # Concrete repository implementations (extends domain)
        └── presentation/         # Jetpack Compose UI Layer
            ├── ui/               # Stateless screens, composables, views, styling
            └── viewmodels/       # Flow state holders, screen action handlers
```

### 1.2 Strict Layer Boundaries & Dependency Rules

Enforce the inward dependency rule (**Presentation → Domain ← Data**):

- **Domain Layer**: MUST be pure Kotlin. Never import `android.*`, `androidx.*`, `retrofit.*`, or other framework libraries. It defines the business entities and repository abstractions.
- **Presentation Layer**: Consists of composables and ViewModels. ViewModels use Domain UseCases to fetch and transform data.
- **Data Layer**: Responsible for persistence (Room), caching (DataStore), and network communications (Retrofit). Implements repository interfaces defined in the Domain layer.

### 1.3 Dependency Injection (Dagger Hilt)

- Always use Dagger Hilt for DI: annotate your Application class with `@HiltAndroidApp`, activities with `@AndroidEntryPoint`, and ViewModels with `@HiltViewModel`.
- Use `@Inject constructor` for class dependencies.
- Define interface bindings cleanly in Hilt `@Module` classes using `@Binds` (for repository implementations) and `@Provides` (for external clients like Retrofit, Room, or DataStore instances).

## 2. UI-First Methodology & Premium Motion UX

Aesthetics and responsiveness are core features. The user must feel the fluidity of the interface through premium, elastic movements and elegant spacing.

### 2.1 The UI-First Implementation Pipeline

Always prototype the visual design and settle the visual shell before wiring up reactive database endpoints:

1.  **Draft UI Skeleton**: Set up the visual container blocks.
2.  **Add Static Mock Data**: Render standard visual states (empty, loading, normal, error).
3.  **Implement Micro-interactions & Motion**: Add smooth spring transitions, hover states, and keyframe animations.
4.  **Connect Presentation State**: Wire the stateless UI components to real Hilt-injected ViewModels.
5.  **Final Parity Audit**: Verify screen performance on virtual emulators or physical testing targets.

### 2.2 Elastic & Spring Physics Animations

Any dynamic presentation, button click, or page transition must utilize **spring-based physics** by default to create a premium, tactile feel.

- **Spring Press Effect on Buttons**:
  ```kotlin
  @Composable
  fun PrimaryButton(
      text: String,
      onClick: () -> Unit,
      modifier: Modifier = Modifier
  ) {
      var isPressed by remember { mutableStateOf(false) }
      val scale by animateFloatAsState(
          targetValue = if (isPressed) 0.95f else 1f,
          animationSpec = spring(
              dampingRatio = Spring.DampingRatioMediumBouncy,
              stiffness = Spring.StiffnessLow
          )
      )

      Button(
          onClick = onClick,
          modifier = modifier
              .fillMaxWidth()
              .scale(scale)
              .pointerInput(Unit) {
                  detectTapGestures(
                      onPress = {
                          isPressed = true
                          tryAwaitRelease()
                          isPressed = false
                      }
                  )
              }
      ) {
          Text(text, style = MaterialTheme.typography.bodyLarge)
      }
  }
  ```

### 2.3 Curated Color Systems & Typography Tokens

- **No Raw Primary Colors**: Utilize highly cohesive, harmonized HSL/Material 3 theme palettes. Enforce curated dark themes, neon borders, and soft semantic alerts.
- **Typography**: Dynamically fetch professional modern fonts (e.g., _Inter_, _Outfit_, _Roboto_) with a strong, highly readable visual hierarchy. Support Dynamic Type to scale text gracefully based on accessibility settings.
- **Glassmorphism**: Use semi-transparent container fills with fine, light borders, subtle background blurs, and soft shadows (`Modifier.shadow()`) to deliver modern UI depth.

### 2.4 Touch Psychology

- **Tap Targets**: Maintain all interactive targets at a minimum of **48dp × 48dp** (based on Fitts' Law for human fingertips).
- **Spacing**: Ensure a minimum gap of **8-12dp** between adjacent interactive elements to prevent accidental miss-taps.
- **Thumb Zone Optimization**: Place core navigation controls, primary CTAs, and dynamic tab bars at the bottom half of the screen (the "easy-to-reach" zone).

## 3. High-Performance Engineering & Data Security

### 3.1 Jetpack Compose List Optimizations

Improperly written lists cause jank and frame drops. Always adhere to these performance rules:

- **Always use Lazy Lists**: Use `LazyColumn` or `LazyRow` instead of `ScrollView` for lists with dynamic content.
- **Explicit State Keying**: Always provide a unique, stable ID for every list item using the `key` parameter to prevent redundant compose recompositions:
  ```kotlin
  LazyColumn {
      items(
          items = itemList,
          key = { item -> item.stableId }
      ) { item ->
          ListItemComponent(item = item)
      }
  }
  ```
- **Stateless Preview Delegates**: Break screens into a parent stateful wrapper (injecting ViewModel and handling navigation) and a child stateless screen composable containing only hardcoded parameters. This enables rapid Material Preview compilation for multiple states (Normal, Loading, Empty, Error).

### 3.2 Secure Persistence & Tokens

- **Zero PII Leakage**: Never print user tokens, passwords, database values, or personal identifiers in production log outputs.
- **Encrypted Storage**: Cache API tokens, user authorization flags, and sensitive user states exclusively in `EncryptedSharedPreferences` or encrypted local databases (e.g., SQLCipher on top of Room).
- **Environment Configs**: Configure API endpoints, API keys, and deployment profiles in a secure `.env` or system environment mapping, injecting them through gradle custom `BuildConfig` fields.

### 3.3 Asynchronous Threading & Flows

- **Explicit Dispatchers**: Ensure heavy calculations and local/remote source operations are launched on the correct dispatchers:
  ```kotlin
  viewModelScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
      repository.fetchData()
  }
  ```
- **Lifecycle-aware Flows**: Collect flows in Composable scopes safely using `collectAsStateWithLifecycle()` to prevent memory leaks and background battery drainage.

## 4. AWKit Android CLI & ADB Commands

Utilize the unified `android` CLI tool and ADB commands to execute system interactions, layout inspection, and test setups cleanly:

```bash
# 1. Environment & Device Scaffolding
android info                                                          # Retrieve current Android SDK locations and configuration
android sdk install platforms/android-34                              # Download a specific platform SDK target
android emulator start --name="Pixel_7_API_34"                        # Launch a selected Android Virtual Device (AVD)

# 2. Build & Layout Audits
android describe --project_dir=.                                      # Scan targets and locate built APK paths
android layout --pretty                                               # Dump the raw UI layout tree as formatted JSON
android layout --diff                                                 # Identify changed layout tree nodes since the last dump

# 3. Precise Visual Inspection & ADB Tap Actions
android screen capture -o ./tmp/capture.png                           # Capture active viewport to a PNG file
android screen capture --annotate -o ./tmp/capture_annotated.png      # Capture active screen with bounding boxes and numeric labels
android screen resolve --screen ./tmp/capture_annotated.png --string "#3" # Get exact X/Y coordinate for visual box #3
adb shell input $(android screen resolve --screen ./tmp/capture_annotated.png --string "tap #3") # Tap visual region #3 directly

# 4. Device Interaction Control
adb shell input keyevent 66                                           # Trigger ENTER key event
adb shell input text "user@example.com"                               # Type literal string into the currently focused text field
adb shell input swipe 500 1500 500 500 800                            # Slow vertical drag/swipe (duration: 800ms)
```

## 5. Testing & CI/CD Pipelines

### 5.1 Journey Validation & Test Reports

Validate end-to-end user journeys using structured XML flows and export execution outcomes using a standardized JSON schema:

```json
{
  "journey": "Premium User Subscription Flow",
  "results": [
    {
      "action": "Verify that the welcome headline is displayed on screen",
      "status": "PASSED",
      "commands": [],
      "comment": "Headline 'Welcome to App' was successfully identified."
    },
    {
      "action": "Tap the 'Go Premium' button",
      "status": "PASSED",
      "commands": ["adb shell input tap 450 1200"],
      "comment": "Button region matched layout bounds."
    }
  ]
}
```
