📱 Android Early Access — Sequencing Plan

Ordered for testability: get each feature into a state QA can exercise as early as possible, so we collect feedback while there's runway to fix. Keeps the proposed priority order, fills the gaps.

Milestone roadmap

M0 · CallsSinger / Amos / Rhys

Highest-risk, highest-value, mostly there. Reconnect on drop, session resume, network handover, 5001 recovery.

Exit: QA places a call, survives wifi↔LTE handover, recovers from drops.

M1 · TextsAmos (focused)

Chat reconnect, character-switch history UX, send-button stall recovery.

Exit: QA holds a text conversation, switches characters, recovers from stalls.

M2 · Push + universal linksRhys / Donald

In-scope per the Open Testing commitment. FCM plumbing → permission prompt → text/waitlist push → deep-link tap-through. + gap: universal links.

Exit: QA receives a push and deep-links into the right screen.

M3 · Waitlist flowDonald / Rhys

Confirmed launch requirement. In-app gate (GET /waitlist/status → app-or-waitlist-screen) + waitlist entry screen + Statsig waitlist_auto_approve for early-adopter admission + Google Play tracks (closed → open → production) so external testers can install. Reuses iOS waitlist infra end-to-end.

Exit: Play Open Testing track live; non-allowlisted users hit the waitlist screen; Statsig auto-approve admits early adopters.

M4 · SDUI cardsRhys

Framework, shell, carousel, Search card all done. Finish card content + post-call rendering.

Exit: QA sees cards in-call and in the post-call activity sheet.

M5 · AnalyticsDonald

Final polish: verify waitlist_joined / waitlist_approved events fire on Android, web→app funnel from sesame.com/beta, Rudderstack + Bitdrift sinks. Mostly-built framework needs Android wiring + verification.

Exit: joined/approved events verified; web → in-app funnel intact.

Bar length = items in that milestone; solid fill = done, faded = remaining. Counts include leaf tickets only (parent epics + stretch items excluded). After unpacking the Chat epic and Calls reliability sub-tree: M1 Texts is the heaviest open bucket (11 items remaining); M4 SDUI is closest to done at 75% (PMF-2722 in review, PMF-3034 + PMF-2725 remaining); M0 Calls is mid-way with most P0 reliability work shipped.

QA — what to test, what to ignore

Per-milestone breakdown of what QA should exercise vs. known gaps to skip. Currently detailed for M1 Texts — other milestones will get the same treatment as they near QA-readiness.

M1 · Texts

✓ Ready to test

If any of these regress, file a bug.

  • Sending / receiving messages
  • Streaming-text animation (smooth append)
  • Markdown rendering — bold, italics, lists, inline code
  • Typing indicator while agent is responding
  • Jump-to-bottom button when scrolled away from latest
  • Send button enable/disable on empty input + character-count enforcement
  • Date separators + tap-to-reveal timestamps
  • User message pins to top while agent reply streams in
  • Text selection inside messages
  • Character switching (basic case — pick a different agent and chat)
  • Extended Thinking bottom sheet opens from chat row

⏭ Known gaps — skip

Tracked in Linear; don't file bugs.

  • No unread badges on characters with new messages — mark-as-read wire protocol not wired · PMF-2795
  • Long-press menu only shows Retry — Copy / Share / Delete missing · PMF-2796
  • No grounding pills below grounded agent responses · PMF-2798
  • URLs in chat render as plain text — no link-preview cards · PMF-2799
  • Scroll-to-bottom from deep history uses UI layout instead of querying server · PMF-3068
  • Chat history can fail to load on cold-start when socket isn't connected; tap-to-retry loops · PMF-3047
  • Character-switch loading UX — no spinner, weak error state, no "no messages yet" empty state · PMF-3048
  • Send button can stay disabled after a stream stall or reconnect · PR #17369
  • Chat typography + colors don't fully match iOS — earlier alignment pass shipped but visual drift remains; follow-up scoped · PMF-3254

Gaps the original list was missing

➕ Add to scope

  • Onboarding flow — gender, agent audio sampler (PMF-3211), greeting. Sits between login and calls/texts.
  • Profile / character parity — confirm release profiles reach Android (PMF-3194 was canceled as duplicate — verify it's covered).

⛔ Out of scope for 6/24

  • Apple Sign-In on Android (PMF-3215) — deferred post-launch. Ticket stays open in Linear as backlog. iOS-user migration via Apple ID will require pickup before that funnel is meaningful.
  • Android Auto (PMF-2704, PMF-2708) — backlog, Level 4, partner application + production rollout. Separate train.

❓ Confirm with team

  • Waitlist promotion cadence (time / count / manual) — sizes the M5 analytics work + M3 admission policy.

Items to validate in Linear

Plan items that don't reference a Linear ticket — confirm whether each needs to be tracked, is already covered by an existing issue, or can be dropped.
