oxmc 6eeac176ae Remove native Android build: Android is now a separate priv-app repo
The Android side is being rewritten as a platform-signed system app +
device owner (android_packages_apps_PawletProfiled) instead of a native
NDK Binder daemon -- most of what these payloads need on Android
(DevicePolicyManager, VpnManager, WifiManager, WallpaperManager, KeyChain)
is Java-SDK-first and awkward or impossible to reach cleanly from a
native process.

Drops: Android.bp, main_android.cpp, PawletProfileBinderService.*,
platform/android/*.cpp, aidl/, sepolicy/, third_party/openssl-android/,
pawletprofiled.rc/.xml. Also strips the now-dead __ANDROID__ branches from
SignatureVerifier/ProfileStore. This repo is Linux-only from here on.

# pawletprofiled
PawletOS's Linux device management daemon — a native root-run systemd
service. One binary, two subsystems.
This repo is Linux-only. The Android implementation is a separate,
independently-written app (platform-signed priv-app + device owner, not a
native daemon — most of what these payloads need on Android is Java-SDK
first): [`android_packages_apps_PawletProfiled`](https://git.oxmc.me/PawletOS/android_packages_apps_PawletProfiled).
Same `.vconfig` profile format and payload types on both platforms; no
shared code between the two implementations.
---
## Subsystems
### Profile Service
D-Bus system service at `os.pawlet.ProfiledService`.
Parses, verifies, persists, and applies `.vconfig` profiles.
The allowed payload types are controlled by the separately-installed
`pawletprofiled-config-schema` package — OEMs can restrict the
configuration surface without touching the daemon binary.
### ZTE Client
Zero-Touch Enrollment. Runs as a background thread.
Watches NetworkManager for internet connectivity.
On first connection, queries a ZTE lookup server with the device's
hardware identity. Downloads and installs the enrollment profile
automatically via the local D-Bus service.
Handles the deferred case: if no network at first boot,
enrolls on the first successful connection later.

## Building — Linux (Debian Trixie)
```bash
# Build dependencies
sudo apt install -y \
cmake libssl-dev libyaml-dev libdbus-1-dev \
libsystemd-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev pkg-config
# Build .deb (includes pawletprofiled-config-schema as a dep)
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b
sudo apt install \
../pawletprofiled-config-schema_1.0.0-1_all.deb \
../pawletprofiled_1.0.0-1_amd64.deb
# Or build without packaging
cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build -j$(nproc)
sudo cmake --install build
```

## Android
Not built from this repo — see
[`android_packages_apps_PawletProfiled`](https://git.oxmc.me/PawletOS/android_packages_apps_PawletProfiled),
a platform-signed priv-app + device owner with its own independent
implementation of every payload type in this daemon's schema.
---
## Verifying the installation
```bash
# Service status
systemctl status pawletprofiled
# D-Bus connectivity
dbus-send --system --print-reply \
--dest=os.pawlet.ProfiledService \
/os/pawlet/ProfiledService \
os.pawlet.IProfiledService.IsDeviceManaged
# List installed profiles
dbus-send --system --print-reply \
--dest=os.pawlet.ProfiledService \
/os/pawlet/ProfiledService \
os.pawlet.IProfiledService.ListProfiles
# ZTE enrollment state
cat /var/lib/pawletprofiled/zte_state.json
# Live logs
journalctl -u pawletprofiled -f
```
---
## Installing a profile from the command line
```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import dbus, sys
with open(sys.argv[1], 'rb') as f:
data = f.read()
bus = dbus.SystemBus()
obj = bus.get_object('os.pawlet.ProfiledService',
'/os/pawlet/ProfiledService')
svc = dbus.Interface(obj, 'os.pawlet.IProfiledService')
uuid = svc.InstallProfile(dbus.ByteArray(data))
print('Installed profile UUID:', uuid)
```
---
## Signing profiles
Profiles containing `mdm`, `kiosk`, `asam`, or `removal-password` payloads
must be CMS/PKCS#7 signed. Unsigned profiles install with a trust warning.
```bash
# Generate a development signing key and CA
openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -days 3650 -nodes \
-keyout /etc/pawletprofiled/signing_key.pem \
-out /etc/pawletprofiled/profile_ca.pem \
-subj "/CN=PawletOS Profile Signing/O=oxmc"
# Sign a profile
openssl cms -sign \
-in my.vconfig \
-out my.signed.vconfig \
-signer /etc/pawletprofiled/profile_ca.pem \
-inkey /etc/pawletprofiled/signing_key.pem \
-outform DER -nodetach
```
The CA at `/etc/pawletprofiled/profile_ca.pem` is trusted automatically.
For a system-wide trusted badge, also install it as a system CA:
```bash
cp /etc/pawletprofiled/profile_ca.pem \
/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/pawletos-profile-ca.crt
update-ca-certificates
```
---
## Preinstalled profiles
Drop signed `.vconfig` files into `/etc/pawletprofiled/preinstalled/`
before first boot. The daemon applies them at startup,
**before** `cloud-init-local.service` starts (enforced via
`Before=cloud-init-local.service` in the systemd unit).
This lets image builders bake in WiFi credentials, first-boot GNOME
setup suppression, and MDM enrollment — all applied before cloud-init
tries to reach its datasource.
---
## Zero-Touch Enrollment
ZTE configuration lives at `/etc/pawletprofiled/zte.conf` (copy from
`zte.conf.example`). The key setting is `server_url`, which points to
your `pawlet-zte-server` instance.
```ini
server_url=https://zte.yourdomain.com
```
Hardware identity priority used for the ZTE lookup:
| Priority | Source | Path |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | DMI system UUID | `/sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid` |
| 2 | Board serial | `/sys/class/dmi/id/board_serial` |
| 3 | System serial | `/sys/class/dmi/id/product_serial` |
| 4 | machine-id | `/etc/machine-id` |
| 5 | Permanent MAC | `/sys/class/net/<if>/perm_address` |

## Bugs fixed vs. previous iterations
| Bug | Fix |
|---|---|
| `ProfileParser.cpp` used `android-base/logging.h` and `LOG()` | Replaced with `syslog()` throughout |
| `debian/rules` had postinst `install -d` lines leaked after `override_dh_installsystemd` | Removed stray lines |
| `sepolicy/pawletprofiled.te` had typo `vesperprofrofiled` | Fixed |
| `apparmor/pawletprofiled` used `abstractions/openssl` (doesn't exist on Debian) | Replaced with explicit `/etc/ssl/certs/` and network socket rules |
| `ZTELookupClient` called `curl_global_init` but never `curl_global_cleanup` | Added to destructor |
| `debian/control` missing `Depends: pawletprofiled-config-schema` | Added |
