Conversation
No behaviour change. The Spotless ratchet is file-level rather than line-level, so the one-line fix in the next commit puts this whole 4-space-indented file under the formatter. Kept separate so that fix stays reviewable; read this one with `git show -w`.
The scroll-indicator blink repeats forever, and the existing cancel() in onDestroyView never ran: activity_main.xml declares this fragment with android:name on a FragmentContainerView, so it is created during setContentView on every launch whether or not the template screen is ever visited, and opening the editor only stops MainActivity rather than destroying it. A GONE container and an invisible indicator do not stop an animator either. Animators do not pause when their activity stops, and AnimationHandler is per-main-thread and process-global, so the blink kept re-posting a vsync callback on the thread the editor runs on, producing no draws and burning main thread time for the life of the process. Measured at 81 main plus 21 Jit ticks per 20 s on an otherwise idle editor, which is exactly what it costs while legitimately visible. Tying it to viewLifecycleOwner leaves it running whenever the screen can be seen and stops it otherwise.

Source: Coding guidelines
A started view lifecycle is not visibility here. activity_main.xml declares every one of MainActivity's screens as a sibling container in one FrameLayout and onScreenChanged swaps them by View visibility, so this fragment's view reaches STARTED at cold start and stays there for as long as MainActivity is started. Tying the blink to the view lifecycle alone therefore left it running through the whole project-list session of a user who never opened the new-project flow, re-posting a vsync callback per frame with nothing drawn. The indicator also hides itself once the form has been scrolled to the bottom, which is a third way for it to be off screen while this is the current screen, and nothing cancelled the animator for that either. shouldBlinkScrollIndicator takes all three inputs, and is driven from the view lifecycle observer, a currentScreen observer and updateFinishEnabledState. It is a top-level function so the decision is unit-testable without standing a fragment up; the three call sites that feed it are not pinned by any test. Also moves the onDestroyView teardown above super. FragmentWithBinding nulls _binding before calling up, so a stop placed after it cannot touch the binding at all. Nothing was broken by that -- the view lifecycle dispatches ON_STOP before onDestroyView, so the reset had already run -- but the call was dead where it sat, and detaching the scroll gatekeeper before the view comes down makes the viewTreeObserver still-alive check hold by construction rather than by luck.

@itsaky-adfa medium · test coverage — this pins the predicate, not the fix.
shouldBlinkScrollIndicator is new in this PR, so no case in this file can go red against the pre-fix code. The KDoc above already concedes the gap: delete viewLifecycleOwner.lifecycle.addObserver(blinkWhileOnScreen) (TemplateDetailsFragment.kt:98) or the updateBlinkState() call in updateFinishEnabledState, and every assertion here still passes while the process-lifetime vsync burn this ticket exists to fix is fully reinstated.
The stated blocker doesn't hold, though: testing/unit already exposes api(libs.tests.robolectric) (testing/unit/build.gradle.kts:31), and this module already stands fragments up under RobolectricTestRunner with no fragment-testing dependency — see app/src/test/java/com/itsaky/androidide/fragments/output/BuildOutputFragmentDetachedTest.kt and app/src/test/java/com/itsaky/androidide/fragments/sheets/ProgressSheetDismissTest.kt.
A Robolectric test that drives the view lifecycle to STOPPED and asserts blinkAnimator == null would fail on the unfixed code, which is what CLAUDE.md's "prove the regression test fails without the fix" asks for.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Confirmed, and fixed in 6d1554a3: TemplateDetailsBlinkLifecycleTest stands the fragment up under Robolectric with a Koin-provided MainViewModel, and pins two of the three call sites - the view-lifecycle observer (controller.pause().stop()) and the currentScreen observer.
Red-proof against 014aa5801 (the pre-fix fragment, with the predicate test moved aside so it compiles), both cases:
expected:
null
but was:
ObjectAnimator@5435aa10, target ...AppCompatImageView{... app:id/scrollIndicator}
alpha: 1.0 0.2 1.0
Not pinned: the updateFinishEnabledState site. It needs a real scroll to the form's end through TemplateScrollGateKeeper, which wants a laid-out RecyclerView with an adapter; ScrollIndicatorBlinkTest's scope note now says so instead of claiming the whole wiring is unpinnable.
The animator field and the view-model delegate are read reflectively rather than widened - the alternative was @VisibleForTesting on production state, which is the same thing you flagged below.

@itsaky-adfa low — @VisibleForTesting defaults to otherwise = PRIVATE, but this function is called from production code: updateBlinkState() at line 245.
For a top-level function, lint's containing scope is the file facade TemplateDetailsFragmentKt, not TemplateDetailsFragment, so that call is out-of-scope and VisibleForTests fires. It won't fail the build (app/build.gradle.kts:121 sets abortOnError = false), but the annotation is also semantically wrong — this is production decision logic that happens to be unit-testable, not a test-only hook.
internal is already what makes it visible to the unit-test source set, so dropping the annotation clears the warning with no other change.

Confirmed - annotation dropped in bc6fc2c0, no other change. internal is what the test source set needs, and the function is production decision logic rather than a test hook.

@itsaky-adfa low — this comment states an invariant that doesn't hold.
By the time onDestroyView() runs, Fragment.performDestroyView has already driven mViewLifecycleOwner to DESTROYED, and that backward pass dispatches ON_PAUSE/ON_STOP — so blinkWhileOnScreen.onStop has already cancelled the animator and reset alpha. Ordering stopBlinkingIndicator() before super is harmless belt-and-braces, but it isn't load-bearing, and a reader trusting "it has to run before super to keep doing anything at all" will conclude the animator survives to onDestroyView when the observer is what actually guarantees teardown.
Worth rewording so the observer stays the documented teardown path.
Separately, while I'm on teardown: the PR body lists :app:compileV8DebugKotlin under verification, which doesn't compile app/src/test — the new test file isn't covered by the stated checks. :app:compileV8DebugUnitTestKotlin (or :app:testV8DebugUnitTest --tests "*ScrollIndicatorBlinkTest") is the one that would.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Confirmed on both counts.
Comment reworded in bc6fc2c0 so the observer is the documented teardown path: performDestroyView drives the view lifecycle to DESTROYED before calling onDestroyView, that backward pass dispatches ON_STOP, and blinkWhileOnScreen.onStop has already cancelled the animator and reset alpha. The call stays as belt-and-braces for a teardown that skipped the observer, and still precedes super for the _binding reason.
On verification: :app:compileV8DebugKotlin was the wrong task to cite. The PR body now lists :app:testV7DebugUnitTest --tests "*ScrollIndicatorBlinkTest*" --tests "*TemplateDetailsBlinkLifecycleTest*" (V7 is the flavor unit tests run under here), which compiles and runs app/src/test.
The predicate test could not go red against the pre-fix code: shouldBlinkScrollIndicator is new in this PR. Standing the fragment up under Robolectric does, so the two wiring call sites are now pinned - both cases fail on the pre-fix fragment with the animator still alive.

site:insert-koin.io/docs/reference/koin-core/modules unloadModules Koin 4.1.1
💡 Result:
In the Koin dependency injection framework, modules are removed using the unloadKoinModules function [1]. The unloadKoinModules function is designed to drop module definitions and their associated instances, covering both single and scoped definitions [1]. For Koin Compose, module lifecycle management can also be handled declaratively using the rememberKoinModules function [2]. This function provides parameters such as unloadOnForgotten and unloadOnAbandoned to automatically unload modules based on the lifecycle of a Composable component [2]. Example usage of unloading modules programmatically: unloadKoinModules(yourModule) [1]

🌐 Web query:
Koin 4.1.1 Koin unloadModules unloadKoinModules API source
💡 Result:
In Koin 4.1.1, the loadKoinModules and unloadKoinModules functions are part of the core API and are used for dynamic management of dependency modules [1][2][3]. These functions allow you to add or remove module definitions at runtime after the initial Koin application startup [1][3]. API Usage: To load modules: loadKoinModules(module1, module2) [1][2] To unload modules: unloadKoinModules(module1, module2) [1][2] Key Details: - Dynamic Management: These APIs enable dynamic features where modules need to be loaded or cleared (e.g., when a feature is activated or a scope is destroyed) [1][4]. - Global Context: In environments like JVM and Android, these functions interact with the GlobalContext to modify the current Koin application state [5][6]. - Overload Support: Both functions support passing a single Module or multiple modules [2][5][6]. When using these APIs, it is important to ensure that any instances created by the definitions within the modules are properly handled, as unloading a module removes its definitions from the Koin container [4].

Unload the test module from the existing Koin context.
When GlobalContext already exists, existing.loadModules(listOf(binding)) adds the test-specific MainViewModel definition to shared state. Store binding and call existing.unloadModules(listOf(binding)) in tearDown() for this branch. Otherwise, later tests can become order-dependent.

What
Runs
TemplateDetailsFragment's scroll-indicator blink only while the indicator can actually be seen.The blink is an
ObjectAnimatoronView.ALPHAwith anINFINITErepeat count. The fragment already calledcancel()inonDestroyView, but that never ran:activity_main.xmldeclares the fragment withandroid:nameon aFragmentContainerView, so it is created duringsetContentViewon every launch whether or not the template screen is ever visited, and opening the editor only stopsMainActivityrather than destroying it. AGONEcontainer and an invisible indicator do not stop an animator either.Animators do not pause when their activity stops, and
AnimationHandleris per-main-thread and process-global, so the blink kept re-posting a vsync callback on the same thread the editor runs on - producing no draws and burning main-thread time for the life of the process. Measured at 81 main plus 21 Jit ticks per 20 s on an otherwise idle editor, which is what it costs while legitimately visible.A started view lifecycle is not on its own a proxy for visibility.
activity_main.xmldeclares every one of MainActivity's screens as a sibling container in oneFrameLayoutand swaps them byViewvisibility, so this fragment's view reachesSTARTEDat cold start and stays there for as long as MainActivity is started - including a whole session spent on the project list. The indicator also hides itself once the form has been scrolled to the bottom. SoshouldBlinkScrollIndicatortakes all three inputs (view started, this screen current, indicator visible) and is re-evaluated from the view-lifecycle observer, acurrentScreenobserver andupdateFinishEnabledState.Observing
START/STOPrather than cancelling once means the blink comes back when the screen does.stopBlinkingIndicatoralso resets alpha to 1, because cancelling mid-repeat leaves the indicator at whatever alpha it had reached.Scope: this is one of ADFA-5199's two causes
ADFA-5199 has two independent causes of the idle CPU. This PR fixes the second one only.
The first - the memory-usage widget sampling and redrawing while completely covered - is not here.
MemoryUsageWatcherandBaseEditorActivitywere rewritten on the way to stage by ADFA-5530 (#1812), which already fixes three of the four watcher defects that cause-1 fix depended on (the un-restartable watch loop, the ignoredupdateInterval, the deadActivityManagerlookup) and starts sampling lazily on the carousel's first reveal. What #1812 deliberately does not do is stop sampling when the widget is hidden or the editor pauses, because the chart positions samples by index rather than by recorded time (ADFA-5660).So ADFA-5199 should stay open after this merges. Details and the numbers are in the ticket's latest comment.
