leviathan 3574970a5f Add OVERWATCH v0.1.0 — full detection engine + polish
Phase 1 (BLE), Phase 2 (WiFi BSSID/SSID), Phase 3 (DeFlock map proximity),
Phase 4 (Waze live POLICE alerts), and Phase 5 polish all wired through one
DetectionStore. Confidence engine scores 0-100; UI maps to 4-tier circle.

Polish:
  - Stylized two-line app title: [DЯΣΛMMΛKΣЯ] // 0VΣЯW4TCH
  - Modal bottom sheet for source drill-down (tap circle)
  - Settings screen: per-source toggles, proximity sliders, theme select
  - SharedPreferences-backed Settings with StateFlow exposure
  - DetectionService respects per-source toggles at start time
  - Scanners read proximity overrides via supplier lambdas

README documents all sources, architecture, build steps, permissions, and
the legal disclaimer.

# [DЯΣΛMMΛKΣЯ]
##    . //0VΣЯW4TCH
A native Android (Kotlin) **passive surveillance-detection** app. Open it, hit
**START**, and a circle turns **green / yellow / orange / red** depending on
how confident the engine is that there's a Flock Safety ALPR, an Axon body
camera, or police presence near you.
> **Passive defense only.** OVERWATCH only listens — it does not transmit,
> probe, jam, or interfere with any device or network. The Axon
> advertise/fuzz code from one of the reference projects is intentionally
> excluded.

## What it detects
| Source | What it looks at | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| **BLE** | Bluetooth-LE advertisements: vendor MAC OUIs (Axon, Flock Penguin / Raven, XUNTONG mfg id `0x09C8`, "TN" serial pattern), Raven service UUIDs, device-name patterns | Local radio scan (BLE callback API) |
| **WiFi** | BSSID OUI prefixes for Flock infrastructure (31-prefix superset), `Flock-XXXX` and other generic SSID patterns | `WifiManager.getScanResults()` polled every 35 s (just under the Android 11+ 4-scans/2-min throttle) |
| **DEFLOCK** | Crowdsourced ALPR locations within configurable proximity (default 200 m) | Public CDN tile fetch from `cdn.deflock.me`, 24h on-disk cache |
| **WAZE** | Live `POLICE` reports within configurable proximity (default 500 m) and < 10 min old | `live-map/api/georss` polled every 60 s with a small bbox around the user |
Every observation is scored 0-100 by `ConfidenceEngine`. The on-screen tier is
the maximum live score across all sources:
```
GREEN < 40 nothing credible
YELLOW 40 69 single weak indicator
ORANGE 70 84 high confidence
RED 85 + certain
```
The user-facing circle uses the full 4-tier mapping. Cross-source corroboration
naturally pushes the global max upward (a BLE OUI hit *and* a DeFlock map
match in the same area produce a higher tier than either alone).

## Architecture
```
ui/MainScreen.kt circle + START/STOP + tap-to-open bottom sheet
ui/SettingsScreen.kt per-source toggles, distance sliders, theme
service/DetectionService.kt foreground service — owns scanners + store
scan/BleScanner.kt BLE callback scanner
scan/WifiScanner.kt WifiManager poller + SCAN_RESULTS receiver
scan/DeflockClient.kt CDN tile fetch + 24h cache
scan/DeflockScanner.kt location-driven proximity check
scan/WazeClient.kt live-map/api/georss bbox fetch
scan/WazeScanner.kt 60s poller + age/distance gate
fusion/ConfidenceEngine.kt scoring (one place)
fusion/RssiTracker.kt rise-peak-fall stationary-signal detector
fusion/DetectionStore.kt in-memory dedup, 5-min retention
data/location/LocationProvider.kt FusedLocationProviderClient wrapper
data/settings/Settings.kt SharedPreferences-backed StateFlow settings
data/targets/ BleOuis, WifiOuis, RavenUuids, Patterns, Manufacturers
```
No detection-history database. All state is in-memory and clears on stop, by
design.

## Build & install
Requires:
- **JDK 21** (Android Gradle Plugin 8.7.x rejects JDK 26)
- **Android Studio** with SDK Platform 34 + Build-Tools 34.x + Platform-Tools
```sh
# 1) Copy the example local.properties and point sdk.dir at your install
cp local.properties.example local.properties
# edit local.properties → sdk.dir=/Users/<you>/Library/Android/sdk
# 2) Make sure JAVA_HOME is JDK 21
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/opt/openjdk@21/libexec/openjdk.jdk/Contents/Home
# 3) Build & install on a connected device with USB debugging
./gradlew :app:installDebug
```

## Permissions
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| `BLUETOOTH_SCAN`, `BLUETOOTH_CONNECT` (API 31+) | BLE scanning |
| `BLUETOOTH`, `BLUETOOTH_ADMIN` (≤ API 30) | BLE scanning, legacy |
| `ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` | Required for BLE pre-S, WiFi pre-T, and DeFlock proximity |
| `NEARBY_WIFI_DEVICES` (API 33+) | WiFi scan results without using location |
| `ACCESS_WIFI_STATE`, `CHANGE_WIFI_STATE` | Trigger and read scan results |
| `INTERNET`, `ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` | DeFlock CDN + Waze API |
| `FOREGROUND_SERVICE`, `FOREGROUND_SERVICE_CONNECTED_DEVICE`, `FOREGROUND_SERVICE_LOCATION` | Keep scanning with the screen off |
| `POST_NOTIFICATIONS` (API 33+) | Foreground-service notification |
Requested at runtime when you press START for the first time.

## Settings
Tap the gear icon in the top-right.
- **Detection sources**: toggle BLE / WiFi / DeFlock / Waze independently. Takes
effect on next Start.
- **Proximity thresholds**:
- DeFlock: 50 m 1600 m (default 200 m)
- Waze: 100 m 5000 m (default 500 m)
- **Appearance**: System / Dark / Light (default Dark)

## Reference repos studied while building
These live under `REFERENCES/` (gitignored):
- **AxonCadabra** — BLE scanner skeleton (scan side only; advertise/fuzz code excluded)
- **flock-detection** — confidence-scoring algorithm (highest reusability), RSSI rise-peak-fall, OUIs + UUIDs + patterns
- **flock-you** — 31-OUI WiFi superset (promiscuous-mode tricks not portable to Android)
- **deflock** + **deflock-app** — CDN tile scheme, proximity-alert pattern
- **wazepolice** — live-map/api/georss recipe, Chrome header spoofing

## Status
Phases 15 (skeleton, BLE, WiFi, DeFlock, Waze, polish) complete as of v0.1.0.
Field-test-ready, not yet field-validated.
## License
Personal use. Reference repos retain their own licenses; do not redistribute
their code as part of this project.
