The Device panel could report Android ready after an SDK installation while helper commands still used the environment captured at server startup and failed with exit 127. SDK and JDK discovery now runs when device tools are used, including Android Studio's bundled JDK on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Java discovery rejects missing or pre-17 JDKs using their binary and release metadata. PATH shims without metadata retain support through a bounded version probe. SSH discovery keeps the macOS launcher-stub correction and bundled JDK paths.
scope and approval
Maria authorized this takeover. The change remains in the original four files. Current main was merged without rebasing, preserving its device lifecycle, working directory, timeout, camera, and ffmpeg behavior.
verification
Blacksmith vp run check:changed github/main passed format, lint, knip, GraphQL checks, affected typechecks, and 29 scoped tests.
Existing regression cases cover SDK installation after host creation, stale JAVA_HOME, older Java, and executable PATH shims. The Java and shim regressions failed before their fixes.
Playwright with system Chrome exercised Settings and the Device panel against the running Linux development server. Real Android tools installed after startup were discovered; Refresh devices started the real hub and returned the expected empty AVD list without exit 127.

Java discovery and availability apps/server/src/device/LocalDeviceHost.ts, apps/server/src/device/sshDeviceScript.ts, apps/server/src/device/LocalDeviceHost.test.ts, docs/user/devices.md
Android availability checks for Java 17 or later and searches JAVA_HOME, PATH, macOS JDK locations, and Android Studio JDK locations. SSH fallback logic, tests, and setup guidance cover Java discovery and the Java requirement.
Resolved environment in device operations apps/server/src/device/LocalDeviceHost.ts, apps/server/src/device/LocalDeviceHost.test.ts
SDK and Java discovery run when Android tools are used. Host operations and device commands use the resolved environment. Tests cover environment values and SDK discovery after host startup.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 69130
Some installations with a usable Java 17 JDK can still show no Android devices, particularly on SSH hosts with multiple bundled JDKs. Fix Java selection before merging unless that limitation is explicitly accepted.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to b43a5
Toolchain discovery now happens when operations need it, while existing process ownership and SSH command quoting remain in place. No introduced security vulnerability was established. Risk remains limited but nonzero because installed toolchains execute with the host account’s privileges, and a running helper can retain an older environment.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — Toolchain compromise could affect the executing server account or configured SSH account, rather than only one emulator, because discovered tools feed existing process execution environments. The PR changes discovery timing and fallback choices; the inspected evidence does not establish attacker write access to those locations or a new privilege transition.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — SSH execution retains the configured target and identity file. Command arguments are individually shell-quoted, and the environment preamble plus command is quoted for the remote shell. The JDK fallback change does not replace these dispatch controls.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
inferred — Keeping hub identity stable while refreshing command environments avoids unnecessary process replacement, but permits toolchain divergence during installation or replacement. This is a lifecycle limitation, not an established security concern: no changed authorization, ownership check, or cleanup boundary was found to depend on a single immutable toolchain snapshot.

Skip unsupported JBR candidates.
On SSH hosts, this loop selects the first JBR with an executable bin/java without checking its version. A pre-17 JBR can therefore be selected before a later Java 17+ JBR. SshDeviceHost passes this environment to the device hub, while the documentation requires Java 17+ for Android command-line tools. Check each candidate's Java version and continue to the next candidate when it is below 17.

Continue Java discovery after an invalid JAVA_HOME.
If JAVA_HOME points to a removed or older JDK, this return skips a usable Java on PATH or in Android Studio. Android then reports Java unavailable. Continue the search, and remove the invalid JAVA_HOME from the child environment when PATH Java is selected. The current test expects null for a removed JAVA_HOME; update it to cover a usable fallback. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Update Java discovery so an unsupported `javaHome` does not end the search:
continue checking PATH and Android Studio candidates, and remove the invalid
`JAVA_HOME` from the child environment when selecting Java from PATH. Update the
test that currently expects `null` for a removed `JAVA_HOME` to verify that a
usable fallback is selected.

merged current main into the branch again without rebasing (691309f). the only conflict was run in LocalDeviceHost.ts: kept this pr's lazy androidTools environment and added main's new maxOutputBytes option. blacksmith vp run check:changed passes (format, lint, knip, typecheck, 30 tests).
coderabbit's stale JAVA_HOME finding is left as is: avdmanager itself refuses to run with an invalid JAVA_HOME, so honoring the explicit setting matches what the tool will do, and the unavailable message tells the user to fix it.
earlier: java-validation and PATH-shim findings were addressed with existing regression cases, and a real linux client refresh started the hub with tools installed after server startup. ready for maria's review; left unmerged.

Cover the hub spawn environment after SDK installation in this test.
The test installs the SDK after agentFixture has already started the hub. The assertions check only the refreshed ProcessRunner environment for ready!.run("emulator", ["-list-avds"]). They do not check the environment passed to the hub process. A regression in hub startup environment selection can leave this test passing. Keep the existing runs.at(-1) assertions. Also start the hub after the SDK files exist, and record the ChildProcessSpawner input so the test can assert the hub env, including ANDROID_HOME.

Verified on Android emulator (API 35) against a real dev server
verified head 076adb9efebcb052583488cb183afffc5b43564a on the real t3 x86_64 api 35 emulator with kvm, a real development server on port 13773, metro on 8081, and the cached native development client. no mocks or demo data.
started the server with an isolated home and without the installed sdk on its path. settings initially reported android unavailable. after exposing the real sdk under that home's standard Android/Sdk location, the same server discovered android without restarting.
refreshed devices, opened the running emulator, and saw the live native screen stream in the device panel. checked panel back navigation and recents input. the recording below captures the recents transition, not the sdk installation or message send.
paired the android client with the isolated server using adb reverse. used a real project rooted at apps/server and a real codex gpt-6.1-sol thread. its first turn ran pwd and returned /home/user/t3code/apps/server and ANDROID_REAL_TURN_OK. a follow-up sent from android returned ANDROID_FOLLOWUP_OK; both responses appeared in web and android.
all 32 existing pr checks currently pass. no source changes, commits, or pushes were needed in this verification pass.
Not verified
ios cannot run on this linux vm. macos, windows, ssh hosts, android studio bundled-jdk fallback, and booting a stopped avd through the panel were not exercised. the original failure was not reproduced on github/main in this pass.
native restart stability remains unverified: the development launcher hit an android input-dispatch ANR, and the panel temporarily lost video/device-list communication. retry and relaunch recovered sufficiently to display and send the real follow-up, but later relaunch attempts were still slow and sometimes returned to the launcher. this pass does not establish those issues as regressions introduced by this diff. the sdk rediscovery and live emulator path above did work; this is not a claim that the entire mobile startup path is regression-free.

Skip bundled JDKs older than Java 17.
If JAVA_HOME is unset, no Java is on PATH, and /usr/local/android-studio/jbr contains Java 11, this selects it before a Java 17 JDK at /snap/android-studio/current/jbr. A newly started hub inherits Java 11, so avdmanager can fail to list Android devices even though Java 17 is available. Check each candidate’s version before selecting it.
