The server is the only public backend surface. The MAX worker stays inside the Docker network and is controlled through the API/admin page.
## Security Rules
- Android pairs to the private server with `QMAX_PAIRING_CODE`.
- API access uses JWT access tokens and refresh tokens.
- MAX credentials and sessions live only on the Pi in Docker volumes.
- `.env`, service-account files, keystores and runtime data are ignored by git.
- Attachments are written as `.part` first and moved into place only after full upload.
- Android image attachments are downloaded to a local `.part` cache and exposed to the UI only after size validation.
## Current Verified Status
- MAX Web login is authorized on the Raspberry Pi worker.
- Chat list, message history, text sending and attachment sending are mapped through `worker/src/server.js`.
- Image, video, file and voice attachments are projected through the API and rendered by the Android client.
- Firebase initialization and Android push token registration are enabled for `xyz.kusoft.qmax`.
## Remaining Production Checks
- Keep selector drift monitoring for future MAX Web UI changes.
- Run an unlocked-device visual pass on the connected phone for every major UI change.
- Replace debug fallback signing with a real release key in `android/key.properties`.
