Found by reviewing everything since dev-1.1.7.

The bug

On Android 12 without "Alarms & reminders" access, each dose's alarm posts the fallback notification itself (AlarmService.notifyInstead). All of them use one notification id. With two doses due at the same time, the second replaced the first. The first dose's alarm had already fired and been removed from the reboot list, so it never showed or rang.

The fix

  • notifyInstead keeps the doses the fallback already lists and adds the new one.
  • The alarm screen opened from it starts ringing for every listed dose (before: only the first).
  • cancelFallback (dose marked on Today) takes only that dose off; the rest keep ringing.
  • The dose-list extras are packed/unpacked in one place (dosesBundle / dosesFrom), shared with the alarm screen.

Checks

Reviewed, nothing to fix

Alarm ringing/snooze/ramp, missed-dose Taken/Skip, crash-safe backup and two-phase folder pick, soft delete, DST (brute-forced every 5-minute slot of 2026 in 6 DST zones: every dose matches its slot).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • On Android 12, fallback notifications list all doses due at the same time, and the alarm screen rings for each listed dose.
    • Handling one dose from a multi-dose notification removes only that dose; the remaining doses stay listed and active. The notification clears when no doses remain.
    • Fallback notifications retain the remaining dose list if the app process restarts.

On Android 12 without "Alarms & reminders" access, each dose's alarm posts
the fallback notification itself. Two doses due at the same time each
posted it under the one shared id, so the second replaced the first. The
first dose's alarm had already fired and been forgotten, so it never
showed or rang. The fallback now keeps the doses it already lists, its
alarm screen starts ringing for every one of them, and marking one on
Today takes only that one off.

Walkthrough

AlarmService now preserves multiple due doses in fallback notifications and their extras. AlarmActivity reads those doses and starts ringing for each one. Fallback removal keeps the notification active while other doses remain.

Changes: Multi-dose fallback alarms

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dose extras and alarm-screen ringing
android/app/src/main/kotlin/dev/susiee/dosekeeper/AlarmService.kt, android/app/src/main/kotlin/dev/susiee/dosekeeper/AlarmActivity.kt
AlarmService encodes and decodes dose lists in bundles. AlarmActivity reads the list and starts the ringing service for each dose when opened with EXTRA_RING_ON_OPEN and no saved state. It then drops the fallback notification for those dose IDs.
Fallback dose lifecycle
android/app/src/main/kotlin/dev/susiee/dosekeeper/AlarmService.kt, AGENTS.md
Fallback notifications retain doses, use a separate notification ID, and restore the list from the active notification when needed. cancelFallback and stop remove handled dose IDs; the notification is canceled when no doses remain and otherwise reposted. AGENTS.md records the behavior and notes that it was build-checked but not tested on an Android 12 device or emulator.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 4ebd2

The change makes every dose due together ring on the Android 12 fallback path and removes only the handled doses. No concrete merge-blocking defect remains. The fallback has not been tested on an Android 12 device, which is normal residual uncertainty for this change.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 4ebd2

The change remains within the app’s existing alarm permissions and private Android components. No new externally callable alarm interface was identified. Recovery during interrupted handoffs and application updates remains uncertain, and the Android 12 fallback has not been device-tested.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The inspected change is confined to one installation’s due-dose metadata, notifications and ringing lifecycle. It does not add an externally callable alarm component or additional Android permission; no cross-account or remote-service authority expansion was established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — AlarmActivity, AlarmReceiver and AlarmService are non-exported. Scheduler broadcasts and notification activity launches target explicit components through immutable PendingIntents. Kotlin public declarations therefore do not themselves create a new cross-application input boundary.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Interrupted handoff remains a bounded recovery question: fallback ownership is removed after service-start requests return, while ringing state is in memory. Service intent redelivery is enabled and predates this PR. The inspected application source does not establish whether all doses recover across every interruption, but it also does not prove a newly introduced loss condition.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — If recovery independent of Android’s queued-intent behavior is required, use a durable per-dose handoff record and release fallback ownership only after service acceptance. This is a resilience proposal, not a verified security finding.

Explanation

The title names the main fix: doses due together all ring, not just the last one. The raw summary shows AlarmActivity now starts a ringing service for each listed dose, and AlarmService keeps multiple fallback doses under a separate notification ID instead of letting a later dose replace an earlier one. The title is specific, concise, and matches the PR objectives.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 33.33% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 6 functions across 2 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

- Around line 285-293: Update notifyInstead and fallbackDoses to maintain an
authoritative fallback dose list independently of activeNotifications, so a
newly arriving dose cannot replace doses whose notifications have not yet been
processed. Preserve accumulated doses when calling postFallback, and remove
doses from the authoritative list when they are handled.

notify() is asynchronous, so a second dose arriving right after the first
could read the active notifications before the first was listed and post
only itself, dropping the first again. The list now lives in memory and is
read from the notification only when the process is new. (CodeRabbit)

With the alarm screen open for one dose, a second dose that fell back was
added to the same notification id the ringing service uses. Answering the
first cancelled that id (and stopping the service removes it too), so the
second dose's notification vanished and it never rang. The fallback now has
its own id; the alarm screen and Taken/Snooze take only their doses off it,
and the rest keep ringing. (CodeRabbit)
