3. WebUI Implementation Strategy with WebUIX Compliance

3.1 WebUIX Framework Integration

Core WebUIX Requirements:

• Jetpack Compose compatibility through manager integration
• Monet theming support with Material You color adaptation
• Enhanced system APIs beyond standard WebUI capabilities
• Multi-manager compatibility (KernelSU, MMRL, APatch)

Implementation Architecture:

// WebUIX integration layer
import { Platform, ServiceManager } from '@webui-x/core';
import { BackupEngine } from './backup-engine.js';
import { SafetyManager } from './safety-manager.js';

class KernelSUBackupWebUI {
    constructor() {
        this.platform = Platform.KsuNext;
        this.serviceManager = ServiceManager.from(KsuLibSuProvider);
        this.initializeWebUIX();
    }

    async initializeWebUIX() {
        // Platform initialization with error handling
        try {
            await Platform.init({
                context: this.getApplicationContext(),
                platform: this.platform,
                fromProvider: this.serviceManager
            });
        } catch (error) {
            this.handleInitializationError(error);
        }
    }
}

3.2 Progressive Web Application Architecture

PWA Core Features:

• Offline functionality with service worker caching strategies
• App-like experience through manifest configuration
• Hardware-accelerated rendering in WebView environment
• Responsive design optimized for mobile interfaces

// service-worker.js
const CACHE_NAME = 'ksu-backup-v1';
const urlsToCache = [
    '/',
    '/assets/css/material.min.css',
    '/assets/js/kernelsu-api.js',
    '/assets/js/backup-engine.js'
];

self.addEventListener('install', event => {
    event.waitUntil(
        caches.open(CACHE_NAME)
            .then(cache => cache.addAll(urlsToCache))
    );
});

self.addEventListener('fetch', event => {
    event.respondWith(
        caches.match(event.request)
            .then(response => response || fetch(event.request))
    );
});

/* Mobile-optimized CSS with Material Design */
.action-button-primary {
    min-height: 48px;
    min-width: 88px;
    padding: 8px 16px;
    background-color: var(--md-primary-color);
    color: var(--md-on-primary-color);
    border-radius: 24px;
    box-shadow: 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
    transition: all 0.2s ease;
}

.confirmation-dialog {
    position: fixed;
    top: 50%;
    left: 50%;
    transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
    background: var(--md-surface-color);
    border-radius: 8px;
    padding: 24px;
    max-width: 90vw;
    box-shadow: 0 8px 32px rgba(0,0,0,0.3);
}

• Timeout-based failure detection with configurable intervention thresholds

Stage 3: System-Level Integration

• Safe Mode coordination with Android's built-in safe mode functionality
• SystemUI health monitoring for user interface responsiveness
• Module conflict detection through dependency analysis

4.2 Recovery Mechanism Implementation

Primary Recovery: AB Update Rollback

#!/system/bin/sh
# boot_monitor.sh - Boot monitoring and recovery

BOOT_COMPLETED_FLAG="/data/local/tmp/boot_completed"
BOOT_TIMEOUT=300  # 5 minutes maximum boot time
RECOVERY_FLAG="/data/local/tmp/recovery_triggered"

monitor_boot_process() {
    local start_time=$(date +%s)
    
    while [ $(($(date +%s) - start_time)) -lt $BOOT_TIMEOUT ]; do
        if [ "$(getprop sys.boot_completed)" = "1" ]; then
            touch "$BOOT_COMPLETED_FLAG"
            return 0
        fi
        sleep 5
    done
    
    # Boot timeout reached - trigger recovery
    trigger_recovery "boot_timeout"
    return 1
}

trigger_recovery() {
    local reason="$1"
    echo "Recovery triggered: $reason" > "$RECOVERY_FLAG"
    
    # Disable problematic modules
    disable_unsafe_modules
    
    # Signal for AB slot rollback on next reboot
    setprop ro.boot.slot_suffix "_recovery"
    
    # Force reboot to recovery slot
    reboot
}

Secondary Recovery: Safe Mode Integration

#!/system/bin/sh
# safe_mode_handler.sh

detect_safe_mode_trigger() {
    # Monitor volume down button presses
    local press_count=0
    local last_press=0
    
    while [ $press_count -lt 3 ]; do
        if check_volume_down_press; then
            press_count=$((press_count + 1))
            last_press=$(date +%s)
        fi
        
        # Reset counter if too much time passed
        if [ $(($(date +%s) - last_press)) -gt 2 ]; then
            press_count=0
        fi
        
        sleep 0.1
    done
    
    # Trigger safe mode
    enable_safe_mode
}

enable_safe_mode() {
    # Disable all KernelSU modules
    for module in /data/adb/modules/*; do
        [ -d "$module" ] && touch "$module/disable"
    done
    
    # Create safe mode indicator
    touch /data/local/tmp/ksu_safe_mode
    
    # Restart system services
    stop && start
}

4.3 State Management and Rollback

Configuration Checkpointing:

• Pre-modification snapshots of critical system configurations
• Module dependency tracking with automatic conflict resolution
• Rollback checkpoints at strategic system modification points
• Recovery metadata preservation for post-incident analysis

Automated Recovery Orchestration:

#!/system/bin/sh
# recovery_orchestrator.sh

create_recovery_checkpoint() {
    local checkpoint_name="$1"
    local checkpoint_dir="/data/local/tmp/recovery_checkpoints/$checkpoint_name"
    
    mkdir -p "$checkpoint_dir"
    
    # Backup critical configurations
    cp -r /data/adb/modules "$checkpoint_dir/modules_backup"
    getprop > "$checkpoint_dir/system_properties"
    ps aux > "$checkpoint_dir/running_processes"
    
    # Create checkpoint metadata
    cat > "$checkpoint_dir/metadata.json" <<EOF
{
    "timestamp": "$(date -Iseconds)",
    "kernel_version": "$(uname -r)",
    "android_version": "$(getprop ro.build.version.release)",
    "kernelsu_version": "$(getprop ro.kernelsu.version)",
    "checkpoint_type": "pre_modification"
}
EOF
}

restore_from_checkpoint() {
    local checkpoint_name="$1"
    local checkpoint_dir="/data/local/tmp/recovery_checkpoints/$checkpoint_name"
    
    if [ ! -d "$checkpoint_dir" ]; then
        echo "Checkpoint not found: $checkpoint_name"
        return 1
    fi
    
    # Restore module configurations
    rm -rf /data/adb/modules
    cp -r "$checkpoint_dir/modules_backup" /data/adb/modules
    
    # Apply proper permissions
    find /data/adb/modules -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
    find /data/adb/modules -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
    
    # Restart KernelSU manager
    killall -9 me.weishu.kernelsu
    
    return 0
}

    constructor() {
        this.rsaKeySize = 4096;
        this.aesKeySize = 256;
        this.hashAlgorithm = 'SHA-256';
        this.compressionLevel = 6;
    }

    async generateKeyPair(passphrase) {
        // Generate RSA key pair for hybrid encryption
        const keyPair = await crypto.subtle.generateKey(
            {
                name: "RSA-OAEP",
                modulusLength: this.rsaKeySize,
                publicExponent: new Uint8Array([1, 0, 1]),
                hash: this.hashAlgorithm
            },
            true,
            ["encrypt", "decrypt"]
        );

        // Derive AES key from passphrase
        const salt = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(32));
        const aesKey = await this.deriveAESKey(passphrase, salt);

        return {
            publicKey: keyPair.publicKey,
            privateKey: keyPair.privateKey,
            aesKey: aesKey,
            salt: salt
        };
    }

    async createEncryptedBackup(data, keyPair) {
        // Compress data first
        const compressedData = await this.compressData(data);
        
        // Generate random AES key for this backup
        const sessionKey = crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(32));
        
        // Encrypt data with AES
        const encryptedData = await this.encryptWithAES(compressedData, sessionKey);
        
        // Encrypt session key with RSA public key
        const encryptedSessionKey = await crypto.subtle.encrypt(
            { name: "RSA-OAEP" },
            keyPair.publicKey,
            sessionKey
        );

        // Create backup package
        return {
            encryptedData: encryptedData,
            encryptedKey: encryptedSessionKey,
            metadata: {
                timestamp: Date.now(),
                compressionRatio: compressedData.length / data.length,
                integrity: await this.calculateHash(encryptedData)
            }
        };
    }

    async decryptBackup(backupPackage, privateKey) {
        // Decrypt session key with RSA private key
        const sessionKey = await crypto.subtle.decrypt(
            { name: "RSA-OAEP" },
            privateKey,
            backupPackage.encryptedKey
        );

        // Decrypt data with AES
        const compressedData = await this.decryptWithAES(
            backupPackage.encryptedData, 
            sessionKey
        );

        // Verify integrity
        const calculatedHash = await this.calculateHash(backupPackage.encryptedData);
        if (calculatedHash !== backupPackage.metadata.integrity) {
            throw new Error('Backup integrity verification failed');
        }

        // Decompress and return
        return await this.decompressData(compressedData);
    }
}

Security Implementation:

• RSA-4096 for asymmetric key management with OAEP padding
• AES-256-GCM for symmetric data encryption with authenticated encryption
• PBKDF2 key derivation with SHA-256 and minimum 100,000 iterations
