1. Objective

Phase 3 confirms that the Daily Notification Plugin:

1. Reconstructs all daily notification alarms after a full device reboot.
2. Correctly handles past vs future schedules:
   • Past: mark as missed, schedule next occurrence
   • Future: simply recreate alarms
3. Handles empty DB / no schedules without misfiring recovery.
4. Performs silent boot recovery (no app launch required) when schedules exist.
5. Logs a consistent, machine-readable summary:
   • scenario
   • missed
   • rescheduled
   • verified
   • errors

Verification is performed via the emulator harness:

cd test-apps/android-test-app
./test-phase3.sh

2. Test Matrix (From Script)

ID	Scenario	Script Test	Expected Behavior	Result	Notes
3.1	Boot with Future Alarms	TEST 1 – Boot with Future Alarms	scenario=BOOT, rescheduled>0, errors=0; alarms present after boot	☐
3.2	Boot with Past Alarms	TEST 2 – Boot with Past Alarms	missed>=1 and rescheduled>=1, errors=0; past schedules detected and next occurrences scheduled	☐
3.3	Boot with No Schedules (Empty DB)	TEST 3 – Boot with No Schedules	Either no recovery logs or explicit "No schedules found/present" or scenario=NONE with rescheduled=0, errors=0	☐
3.4	Silent Boot Recovery (App Never Opened)	TEST 4 – Silent Boot Recovery (App Never Opened)	rescheduled>0, alarms present after boot, and no user launch required; errors=0	☐

Fill Result and Notes after running test-phase3.sh on your baseline emulator/device.

3. Expected Log Patterns

The script filters logs with:

adb logcat -d | grep "DNP-REACTIVATION"

3.1 Boot with Future Alarms (3.1 / TEST 1)

• Typical logs:

DNP-REACTIVATION: Starting boot recovery
DNP-REACTIVATION: Loaded <N> schedules from DB
DNP-REACTIVATION: Rescheduled alarm: daily_<id> for <time>
DNP-REACTIVATION: Boot recovery complete: missed=0, rescheduled=<r>, verified=0, errors=0

• The script interprets this as:
  • scenario = BOOT (via "Starting boot recovery" or "boot recovery" text or Detected scenario: BOOT)
  • rescheduled > 0
  • errors = 0

3.2 Boot with Past Alarms (3.2 / TEST 2)

• Typical logs:

DNP-REACTIVATION: Starting boot recovery
DNP-REACTIVATION: Loaded <N> schedules from DB
DNP-REACTIVATION: Marked missed notification: daily_<id>
DNP-REACTIVATION: Rescheduled alarm: daily_<id> for <next_time>
DNP-REACTIVATION: Boot recovery complete: missed=<m>, rescheduled=<r>, verified=0, errors=0

• The script parses missed and rescheduled and passes when:
  • missed >= 1
  • rescheduled >= 1
  • errors = 0

3.3 Boot with No Schedules (3.3 / TEST 3)

Two acceptable patterns:

1. No DNP-REACTIVATION logs at all → safe behavior
2. Explicit "no schedules" logs:

DNP-REACTIVATION: ... No schedules found ...

or a neutral scenario:

DNP-REACTIVATION: ... scenario=NONE ...
DNP-REACTIVATION: Boot recovery complete: missed=0, rescheduled=0, verified=0, errors=0

The script passes when:

• Either logs are empty, or
• Logs contain "No schedules found / present" with rescheduled=0, or
• scenario=NONE and rescheduled=0.

Any rescheduled>0 in this state is flagged as a potential boot-recovery misfire.

3.4 Silent Boot Recovery (3.4 / TEST 4)

• Expected:

DNP-REACTIVATION: Starting boot recovery
DNP-REACTIVATION: Loaded <N> schedules from DB
DNP-REACTIVATION: Rescheduled alarm: daily_<id> for <time>
DNP-REACTIVATION: Boot recovery complete: missed=0, rescheduled=<r>, verified=0, errors=0

• After reboot:
  • count_alarms > 0
  • User did not relaunch the app manually

Script passes if:

• rescheduled>0, and
• Alarm count after boot is > 0, and
• Boot recovery is detected from logs (via "Starting boot recovery"/"boot recovery" or scenario).

4. Latest Known Good Run (Template)

Fill this in after your first clean emulator run.

Environment

• Device: Pixel 8 API 34 (Android 14)
• App ID: com.timesafari.dailynotification
• Build: Debug app-debug.apk from commit <GIT_HASH>
• Script: ./test-phase3.sh
• Date: 2025-11-XX

Observed Results

• ☐ 3.1 – Boot with Future Alarms

  • scenario=BOOT
  • missed=0, rescheduled=<r>, errors=0

• ☐ 3.2 – Boot with Past Alarms

  • missed=<m>=1, rescheduled=<r>≥1, errors=0

• ☐ 3.3 – Boot with No Schedules

  • Either no logs, or explicit "No schedules found" with rescheduled=0

• ☐ 3.4 – Silent Boot Recovery

  • rescheduled>0, alarms present after boot, app not opened

Conclusion:

Phase 3 Boot-Time Recovery is successfully verified on emulator using test-phase3.sh. This is the canonical baseline for future regression testing and refactors to ReactivationManager and BootReceiver.

5. Overall Status

Update once the first emulator run is complete.

• Implementation Status: ☐ Pending / ✅ Implemented (Boot receiver + runBootRecovery)
• Test Harness: ✅ test-phase3.sh in test-apps/android-test-app
• Emulator Verification: ☐ Pending / ✅ Completed

Once all test cases pass:

Overall Status: ✅ VERIFIED – Phase 3 boot-time recovery is implemented and emulator-tested, aligned with android-implementation-directive-phase3.md and the unified alarm directive.
