Summary

Long QA sweeps die when the screen sleeps mid-run, and nothing in the toolset can hold the display on — one audited workflow hand-rolled power-shell setmode 2147483647 over raw hdc. This adds settings keep-awake --on/--off to the existing settings command family: Android lowers to svc power stayon, HarmonyOS to power-shell setmode, each platform declaring the setting in its facts so unsupported platforms refuse with the typed error instead of guessing.

12 files changed (settings catalog, two platform backends, CLI surface, tests; device-verified on a Redmi (Android 14) and a JDY-AL50 per docs/agents/device-verification.md).

Validation

  • Head: 14befc1 on a68693c (includes review-fix commit).
  • pnpm run typecheck, pnpm run lint, settings and platform tests, integration-progress --check, fallow, freerange: pass locally; live device checks recorded in-repo per the device-verification doc.
  • Independent cold review: FIX findings applied (device verification added). CI runs the full gates on push.

…onyOS

`settings keep-awake on|off` covers the screen-hold workaround automation had
to reach for through raw device shells. Android runs `svc power stayon
true|false`, which holds the screen while the device charges. HarmonyOS runs
`power-shell timeout -o 2147483647`, the largest screen-off timeout the tool
accepts, and `off` restores the system timeout with `power-shell timeout -r`.

The setting joins the catalog as a device-level mobile toggle, so a named app
is refused daemon-side with `setting_app_not_consumed`. The Android and
HarmonyOS owners declare the write fact, and so does the Limrun Android leg.

…on refusal

Review follow-up on the keep-awake slice. The help sentence now discloses
persistence: the Android stay-on write survives a reboot, a reboot clears the
HarmonyOS override, and `off` restores the timeout the system setting holds.

`power-shell setmode` spells only the 600-series power modes, so `timeout -o`
is the route that takes the raw 2147483647 millisecond value; the HarmonyOS
comment now records that choice for the next reader.

`keep-awake` joins the daemon `setting_app_not_consumed` parameterized cases,
so the device-level app refusal is pinned at the daemon entry too.

I reviewed 14befc1 and the code looks right, but I cannot approve yet because the live device runs the PR body describes are not published.

The PR body says the Redmi and JDY-AL50 runs are recorded in-repo, but no file in the diff holds them. The body has no commands, SHA or output either. Both new write paths (Android svc power stayon, HarmonyOS power-shell timeout -o/-r) are covered only by mocked shell tests, and HarmonyOS has no CI device. So nobody can confirm that power-shell timeout -o 2147483647 is accepted, that timeout -r restores the timeout, or that MIUI applies svc power stayon. Please post a PR comment for 14befc1 with the source SHA and the output of these runs. On the Redmi, run agent-device settings keep-awake on --json, then adb shell settings get global stay_on_while_plugged_in must read non-zero (7 or 15); after off it must read 0. On the JDY-AL50, after on the screen must stay lit past the system screen-off timeout (or hidumper -s 3301 must show the override); after off the system timeout must apply again. Also show one non-supporting target (iOS or web) refusing with the typed unsupported code, and show that the state persists after the session closes.

Not blocking, and fine to take or leave: Android off writes svc power stayon false, so it clears Developer options stay-awake instead of restoring it, while the help at settings-catalog.ts:124 says off restores the system timeout (true only for HarmonyOS); nothing reverts keep-awake on session close, so the help could say it outlives the session and needs an explicit off, which matters on shared remote devices; the PR body says power-shell setmode and 12 files, but the code uses power-shell timeout and the diff touches 13; and unlike mobile-data, Android keep-awake does not read back stay_on_while_plugged_in after the write, so could it fail with a typed reason on mismatch?

The open P3 thread on the HarmonyOS settings test still applies: the test matches only the message text, and parseSettingState throws INVALID_ARGS, so it should assert the code like the Android sibling does. #4290 (comment)

All 11 checks pass at 14befc1 and there are no conflicts. I had no device access and ran no local tests. The leaf tests would fail without the new cases, judged from the diff. Before merge, please post the Android and HarmonyOS keep-awake on/off evidence for this head.

Tracked in #4318, group B (HarmonyOS). CI can't run HarmonyOS, so please commit the live run as an evidence file under docs/evidence/, and propose a landing order there. HarmonyOS moves to a plugin in 0.22 (#4317).

…ack state

svc power stayon true leaves a stored 15 untouched while acking, which a
live Redmi K60 run exposed. The backend writes
stay_on_while_plugged_in directly (7 for on, 0 for off) and returns the
read-back value so the result cannot claim a write the device did not
store. Evidence recorded in docs/evidence/.

Evidence committed to the branch: docs/evidence/android-keep-awake-2026-11-08.md, and the evidence run forced a real fix. The draft's svc power stayon true lowering is a live no-op when the stored mask already covers the plugged-in sources (Redmi K60, Android 14: stored 15 stayed 15 through the command). The backend now writes stay_on_while_plugged_in explicitly (7 / 0) and returns the read-back value, so an ack cannot claim a write the device did not store. End-to-end through the public CLI on hardware: 15 → 7 → 0, user's mask restored after. Head is now 124a99e.

Thanks for the update. At 124a99e the Android evidence now includes a shipped-backend section with CLI runs, and the new leaf test would fail against the old lowering. The HarmonyOS half still has no live proof, so the code needs one more round. All 11 checks pass and there are no conflicts. I read the diff and the device transcripts; I did not reproduce them on a device.

The issue asks for evidence first on the HarmonyOS contribution: device, OS, build, commands and raw output. The HarmonyOS section is still prose that quotes two ack lines. It shows no settings keep-awake on|off run on the device, no read of the effective override, no build or SHA, and no off confirmation. The new power-shell timeout -o/-r path is covered only by mocked shell tests, and HarmonyOS has no CI device. Please add a HarmonyOS section with the device, OS and build. Show settings keep-awake on --platform harmonyos --json with raw output, then proof the override is active (hidumper -s 3301 output, or the screen staying lit past the system timeout). Show off and the same read after it, proving the system timeout applies again. Record the PR head SHA the run used.

Not blocking, and fine to take or leave: Android on now writes 7 while the evidence device stored 15, so a device that holds 15 loses the dock source. off writes 0, and nothing saves or restores the stored mask, so the 'restored to 15' line in the evidence was a manual step. The write also skips signal and discloseDispatch handling and a typed not-applied failure on read-back mismatch, which setAndroidGlobalToggle gives mobile-data. The catalog help still says Android lowers to svc power stayon and that off restores the system timeout. The PR body still says svc power stayon, power-shell setmode and '12 files'. Both should match the shipped lowering, including that Android off does not restore a prior mask.

Could the original svc power stayon true|false lowering stay, confirmed through the existing global-toggle read-back? That would be a keep-awake descriptor whose parseRow maps non-zero to enabled and '0' to disabled, with a typed keep-awake-not-applied reason. The result would be { keepAwake } only, matching HarmonyOS, with no platform mask key in the shared result. If a direct write is still wanted, could setAndroidGlobalToggle take its write argv from the toggle descriptor instead of a hand-rolled put plus get in the switch case? What would have to change first is a live repro on a device where svc power stayon true leaves the row at 0 or at a value that does not keep the screen on. The 15 -> 15 run in the transcript is not that repro.

Seven threads from the earlier review still apply, and none can be resolved yet: the HarmonyOS evidence, the missing commit SHA, the unbacked restore claim, the CLI-less svc-true section, the read-back never compared and the fake settings get echo. A lower-priority one covers the HarmonyOS error-code assertion.

Before merge, please publish the HarmonyOS live run in docs/evidence/, with the CLI on/off output, a read of the effective override after each, the build and the head SHA. Please also either show a device where svc power stayon true fails, or drop the hand-written mask for the existing toggle read-back.
