feat(extensions): implement partition-based extension system v1

Add complete extension system for CrossPoint Reader with the following components:

Extension Apps (src/apps/hello-world/):
- HelloWorldActivity with e-ink display support
- Manual partition swap return mechanism (NOT rollback - bootloader disabled)
- RTC boot counter watchdog (auto-return after 3 failed boots)
- Uses esp_ota_set_boot_partition() + esp_restart() for safe return

AppLoader Utility (src/extension/):
- scanApps() - reads /.crosspoint/apps/*/app.json manifests
- parseManifest() - JSON parsing with ArduinoJson
- flashApp() - OTA flashing with ESP-IDF APIs
- Safety checks: battery >20%, magic byte 0xE9, partition validation
- Progress callback support for UI updates

AppsActivity UI (src/activities/apps/):
- List apps from SD card with selection highlight
- Progress bar during flashing operation
- Button hints (Back, Launch, Up, Down)
- Error handling for missing/corrupt files

HomeActivity Integration:
- Added 'Apps' menu item after File Transfer
- onGoToApps() callback for navigation
- Proper activity lifecycle management

Documentation:
- TESTING_GUIDE.md - Comprehensive testing procedures
- IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md - Technical overview

Safety Features:
- Battery check before flashing (>20%)
- Magic byte validation (0xE9)
- Partition size validation
- RTC watchdog prevents soft-brick
- Dynamic partition APIs (no hardcoded indices)

Build:
- Added [env:hello-world] to platformio.ini
- src_filter excludes main CrossPoint sources
- Standalone extension builds to firmware.bin

Closes extension system Phase 1 implementation.

pio run
# Output: .pio/build/default/firmware.bin
```
### Build Hello World Extension
```bash
pio run -e hello-world
# Output: .pio/build/hello-world/firmware.bin

```
---
## 🎯 Key Features Implemented
### 1. Partition-Based Extension System
- Uses existing OTA partitions (app0/app1)
- No partition table changes required
- Maintains OTA update compatibility
### 2. Manual Partition Swap Return
- **NOT** using bootloader rollback (disabled in Arduino ESP32)
- Uses `esp_ota_set_boot_partition()` + `esp_restart()`
- Dynamic partition detection (handles "ping-pong" problem)
### 3. RTC Boot Counter Watchdog
- Prevents soft-brick from bad extensions
- Auto-return to launcher after 3 failed boots
- Resets counter on successful user-initiated exit
### 4. Safety Guardrails
- Battery check (>20%) before flashing
- Magic byte validation (0xE9)
- Partition size validation
- File existence checks
- Error handling with user-friendly messages
### 5. SD Card App Structure
```
/.crosspoint/apps/{app-name}/
├── app.json # Manifest (name, version, description, author, minFirmware)
└── app.bin # Compiled firmware binary
```
### 6. UI Integration
- Apps menu in HomeActivity (after File Transfer)
- App list with selection highlight
- Progress bar during flashing
- Button hints (Back, Launch, Up, Down)
---
## 🧪 Testing
### Quick Test Steps
1. **Prepare SD Card**:
```bash
mkdir -p /.crosspoint/apps/hello-world
# Copy app.json (see TESTING_GUIDE.md)
# Copy and rename firmware.bin to app.bin
```
2. **Flash Main Firmware**:
```bash
pio run -t upload
```
3. **Test Flow**:
- Home → Apps → Select Hello World → Launch
- See "Flashing App..." progress bar
- Device reboots into Hello World
- Press Back → Returns to Home
### Full Testing
See **TESTING_GUIDE.md** for comprehensive testing procedures including:
- Safety feature validation
- Ping-pong state testing
- Error case handling
- Troubleshooting guide
---
## 📊 Build Statistics
### Main Firmware
- **RAM**: 32.4% (106KB / 327KB)
- **Flash**: 91.7% (6.0MB / 6.5MB)
- **Status**: ✅ SUCCESS
### Hello World Extension
- **RAM**: 19.0% (62KB / 327KB)
- **Flash**: 4.8% (315KB / 6.5MB)
- **Status**: ✅ SUCCESS
---
## ⚠️ Known Limitations
1. **No Bootloader Rollback**: Arduino ESP32 has rollback disabled, so we use manual partition swap
2. **No Sandboxing**: Extensions have full hardware access (trusted apps only)
3. **Flash Wear**: Each app switch writes to flash (limited erase cycles)
4. **Single App Slot**: Only one extension can be loaded at a time
5. **No App Icons**: Phase 2 feature
6. **No WiFi Download**: Phase 2 feature
---
## 🔮 Phase 2 Roadmap
### Features to Add
- [ ] **Chess Puzzles Extension**: Extract from main firmware
- [ ] **WiFi Download**: HTTP download to SD card
- [ ] **App Icons**: Display icons from manifest
- [ ] **App Store Server**: Remote app repository
- [ ] **Multiple Apps**: Support for many extensions
- [ ] **App Deletion**: Remove apps from SD
- [ ] **Version Checking**: Enforce minFirmware requirement
### Architecture Decisions for Phase 2
- Consider adding app2/app3 partitions for more slots
- Implement proper sandboxing if possible
- Add app signature verification for security
---
## 🐛 Debugging
### Serial Output Key
```
[AppLoader] SD card not ready
[AppLoader] Apps directory not found
[AppLoader] Found X apps
[AppLoader] Battery: XX% - OK/TOO LOW
[AppLoader] Flashing to partition: ota_X
[AppLoader] Flash complete. Rebooting...
[HelloWorld] Starting...
[HelloWorld] Activity started
[HelloWorld] Triggering return to launcher...
```
### Common Issues
1. **"No apps found"**: Check SD card path and app.json validity
2. **Flash fails**: Check battery level, partition size, magic byte
3. **Boot loop**: RTC watchdog should catch this (auto-return after 3 tries)
4. **Return fails**: Check partition swap logic in HelloWorldActivity

# Xteink X4 Extension System Testing Guide
## Pre-Test Setup
### Prerequisites
- Xteink X4 device with USB-C cable
- SD card (formatted as FAT32)
- Computer with PlatformIO installed
- Serial monitor (VS Code or `pio device monitor`)
### Files You Need
1. **Main firmware**: `.pio/build/default/firmware.bin`
2. **Hello World extension**: `.pio/build/hello-world/firmware.bin`
3. **Test app manifest**: `app.json`
---
## Step 1: Prepare the SD Card
### 1.1 Create Directory Structure
On your computer, create this folder structure on the SD card:
```
/.crosspoint/apps/hello-world/
```
### 1.2 Create App Manifest
Create file `/.crosspoint/apps/hello-world/app.json` with content:
```json
{
"name": "Hello World",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "Test extension for CrossPoint",
"author": "Test User",
"minFirmware": "0.14.0"
}
```
### 1.3 Copy Hello World Binary
1. Build Hello World: `pio run -e hello-world`
2. Copy `.pio/build/hello-world/firmware.bin` to SD card
3. Rename it to `app.bin` on the SD card:
```
/.crosspoint/apps/hello-world/app.bin
```
---
## Step 2: Flash Main Firmware
### 2.1 Build Main Firmware
```bash
pio run
```
### 2.2 Upload to Device
Connect Xteink X4 via USB-C and run:
```bash
pio run -t upload
```
### 2.3 Verify Boot
Open serial monitor:
```bash
pio device monitor -b 115200
```
You should see:
```
[ 0] [ ] Starting CrossPoint version 0.14.0-dev
```
---
## Step 3: Test the Apps Menu
### 3.1 Navigate to Apps Menu
1. Power on the device
2. You should see the Home screen with menu items:
- Continue Reading (if applicable)
- Browse Files
- OPDS Library (if configured)
- File Transfer
- **Apps** ← New menu item
- Settings
3. Use **Down** button to navigate to "Apps"
4. Press **Select** button
### 3.2 Expected Behavior
- AppsActivity should load
- Screen shows "Hello World v1.0.0" in the list
- "No apps found" message should NOT appear
---
## Step 4: Test App Flashing
### 4.1 Launch Hello World
1. In AppsActivity, "Hello World" should be highlighted
2. Press **Select** button
3. Screen should show "Flashing App..." with progress bar
4. Progress should go from 0% to 100%
### 4.2 Verify Serial Output
Check serial monitor for:
```
[xxxxx] [AppLoader] Flashing to partition: ota_X (offset: 0xYYYYYY)
[xxxxx] [AppLoader] Battery: XX% - OK
[xxxxx] [AppLoader] Writing chunk X/Y
[xxxxx] [AppLoader] Flash complete. Rebooting...
```
### 4.3 Device Reboots
- Device should automatically reboot
- Should boot into Hello World app (not main firmware)
- Screen shows "Hello World!"
---
## Step 5: Test Return to Launcher
### 5.1 Exit via Back Button
1. While in Hello World, press **Back** button
2. Device should reboot
3. Should return to main CrossPoint launcher (HomeActivity)
### 5.2 Verify Return
- Screen shows HomeActivity (not Hello World)
- All menu items visible
- Serial shows:
```
[HelloWorld] Triggering return to launcher...
```
### 5.3 Alternative: Power Button
1. Go back to Apps → Launch Hello World
2. Press **Power** button to sleep
3. Press **Power** again to wake
4. Should return to launcher
---
## Step 6: Test Safety Features
### 6.1 RTC Watchdog (Boot Loop Protection)
**⚠️ WARNING: This test simulates a crash. Have USB cable ready.**
To simulate a bad extension:
1. Create a dummy `/.crosspoint/apps/crash-test/app.json`
2. Copy a corrupted or incompatible `app.bin` (can use random bytes)
3. Try to launch it
4. Device will boot, crash, and reboot
5. After 3 failed boots, should auto-return to launcher
**Expected**: Device returns to launcher after 3 failed attempts, not stuck in boot loop.
### 6.2 Low Battery Protection
1. Discharge device to < 20% battery
2. Try to launch an app
3. Should show error: "Battery too low (XX%). Charge to continue."
4. Flash should NOT proceed
### 6.3 Missing app.bin
1. Delete `/.crosspoint/apps/hello-world/app.bin` (keep app.json)
2. Try to launch Hello World
3. Should show error: "app.bin not found"
4. Should NOT crash
---
## Step 7: Test Ping-Pong States
### 7.1 Check Current Partition
In serial monitor during boot:
```
esp_ota_get_running_partition() = ota_0 (or ota_1)
```
### 7.2 Test from ota_0
1. If running from ota_0: Launch Hello World → Return
2. Verify successful cycle
### 7.3 Force OTA Update to Swap Partitions
1. Perform a normal OTA update (or use debug tool)
2. This moves launcher to ota_1
3. Reboot and verify launcher now on ota_1
### 7.4 Test from ota_1
1. Launch Hello World from Apps menu
2. Verify it flashes to ota_0
3. Exit and return
4. Verify successful return to ota_1
**Critical**: Return must work regardless of which partition launcher is on.
---
## Expected Serial Output Summary
### Normal Operation
```
[ 0] [ ] Starting CrossPoint version 0.14.0-dev
[AppsActivity] Found 1 apps
[AppsActivity] Launching app: Hello World
[AppLoader] Flashing to partition: ota_1 (offset: 0x650000)
[AppLoader] Battery: 85% - OK
[AppLoader] Flash complete. Rebooting...
[HelloWorld] Starting...
[HelloWorld] Activity started
[HelloWorld] Triggering return to launcher...
```
### Error Cases
```
[AppLoader] Battery: 15% - TOO LOW
[AppLoader] Aborting flash
[AppLoader] Magic byte check failed: expected 0xE9, got 0xXX
[AppLoader] Invalid firmware image
[AppsActivity] No apps found
```
---
## Troubleshooting
### Issue: Apps menu not showing
**Solution**: Verify `onGoToApps` callback passed to HomeActivity in main.cpp
### Issue: "No apps found" message
**Check**:
- SD card mounted properly
- `/.crosspoint/apps/` directory exists
- `app.json` is valid JSON
- File permissions (readable)
### Issue: Flash fails with "partition error"
**Check**:
- `esp_ota_get_next_update_partition()` returns correct slot
- Not trying to flash to currently running partition
- File size < partition size (6.4MB)
### Issue: Return to launcher fails
**Check**:
- Hello World calls `esp_ota_set_boot_partition()` before `esp_restart()`
- Bootloader not corrupted
- RTC memory accessible
### Issue: Boot loop after flashing bad app
**Recovery**:
1. Hold Power button for 10 seconds
2. Connect USB cable
3. Flash good firmware via `pio run -t upload`
---
