Adds the CSV export button, and with it the canonical metrics file the format section of ADFA-5531 defines. ADFA-5494, ADFA-5526 and ADFA-5534 each produce or consume that file and differ only in compressing it, so this is written as one definition with no Android types in it, tested without a device.

Three commits: recording sample times, the format, then the button.

Where the timestamp comes from

The watchers kept values and no times. The chart never needed them — it reads a sample's age from its position — but a file states a time per row, and inferring one from an index would be wrong three ways: the newest sample was taken up to an interval before the export, the loop delays after doing its work so its period runs long, and a series can stop and restart without its buffer being cleared.

That is not a rounding error. Measured on a Pixel 6 Pro at a nominal 1s rate:

mean gap between samples 1.108s
worst gap 1.758s
skew across a full 10,000-sample buffer ~18 minutes

So each watcher now records the time of every sample, in a ring buffer appended and cleared alongside the values. A zero means no sample was taken at that index, which is what tells an empty cell apart from a measured zero. A per-process "watched since" goes with it, because a process can start being watched long after the others — the Gradle daemon will, once ADFA-5514 lands — and its buffer reaches back to the start of the session however late it appeared.

Decisions the ticket left open

Row timestamp format. ISO 8601 with the device's offset: it round-trips exactly for ADFA-5494 and stays legible to someone triaging a report from another timezone. Written with an explicit three-digit fraction rather than ISO_OFFSET_DATE_TIME, which drops trailing zeros and gives a column of varying width — .38 on one row, .123 on the next. Both parse; only one lines up with the milliseconds rule (c) carries.

The filename keeps its own, deliberately different format. Rule (c) is built from what a filesystem allows and what sorts lexicographically, which is the wrong trade for data and the right one for a name.

An export always produces a file (your call). With nothing sampled that is a header and no rows. Two knock-ons for the consuming tickets: ADFA-5494's reader must treat a header-only file as "no history" rather than an error, and ADFA-5526/5534 will sometimes attach one. The empty case is not exotic — changing the sampling rate clears every buffer.

Fixed memory columns, the three the chart can plot, rather than whatever is being watched at export time. That set changes during a session, and a header that followed it would describe a different file each time.

Item (2): one naming rule

The PNG used to lead with the chart's title, which sorted a pair exported at the same moment apart. Both writers now take an injectable clock, which is also what lets a test write distinguishable files without racing the millisecond the name is built from.

On device, before and after are visible side by side in the cache: memory-usage-20260906-153328.png from the old build, and 2026_09_07_00_12_31_564.png beside 2026_09_07_00_12_02_683.csv from this one.

A bug worth calling out

Annotations needed converting, not copying. MetricsAnnotationStore records on SystemClock.elapsedRealtime — monotonic, and exactly what the chart wants, since it only ever asks how long ago something happened — while samples carry epoch milliseconds. Comparing the two directly is not a small error: a monotonic time is a few hours since boot and an epoch time is decades, so every row looks about equally far from a marker and the nearest-row search lands on whichever number is smallest — the oldest row in the buffer, every time. On device the build marker appeared four minutes before the build.

The conversion is a pure function, with both the correct behaviour and the failure mode pinned by tests.

Verification

Unit tests cover the format closely, because it is not this ticket's file alone: empty export, recorded-not-inferred timestamps, fraction width, unsampled indices skipped, cell count per row, "watched since" blanking, a never-recorded series blanking, quoting and quote-doubling, nearest-sample annotation placement, tie-breaking, and the clock conversion. Full :app unit suite and spotlessCheck green.

On a Pixel 6 Pro, against a real build of a Compose project:

  • a tap writes 2026_09_07_00_20_09_926.csv and opens the share sheet;
  • 65 rows, timestamps a second apart and irregular exactly as recorded;
  • "Build started" on the row 1.3s after the Run tap, a task marker carrying the Gradle task's own name, and "Build finished" nineteen seconds later;
  • gradle_daemon_pss_bytes present and empty, which is correct until ADFA-5514 lands;
  • net_rx_bytes/net_tx_bytes zero rather than blank — the device is in airplane mode, so the watcher is recording and the traffic really is nothing. That distinction is the point of recording sample times.

Help text

The button carries a long-press help tag like every other carousel control, and its Tier 1 summary and Tier 2 detail are written into the documentation database (carousel.export, category ide). ADFA-5513 still owes it a Tier 3 destination, as it does the other twelve; that ticket has been told there are now thirteen.

Note that documentation.db is fetched from an external URL at build time and is not in this repo, so the tooltip text is not part of this PR — it has to reach the published database separately or the long-press shows nothing.

Font scale

The button reuses the camera's touch target and padding dimens and adds no text. Verified at 1.0; not re-verified at 2.0.

Review fix: a row's time and its values are read as one moment

The export asked each watcher for its sample times and then for its values, in two separate locked calls. A sample landing between them shifts every value one index against the times, so each row of the file carries its neighbour's timestamp — for the whole buffer, not just the newest row. That is the one property a row of this file has, so it is worth two fixes rather than one:

  • The writer had a window too. The memory sampler appended the time in one critical section and each process's value in another, so a reader could catch a buffer holding one more timestamp than values. It reads every process first, off the lock, then appends the time and all the values together. The reflective PSS read becomes an injectable reader, matching the other watchers' readRxBytes/readTxBytes — which is also what lets a test read from inside a sample.
  • Readers get one call per watcher. MemoryUsageWatcher.history() returns times and per-process values from one critical section; the network and power sample times ride on the NetworkUsage and PowerUsage they were recorded with. The times-only accessors are gone, so the window cannot be reintroduced by asking for the halves separately.

Three new tests in MemoryUsageWatcherSampleAlignmentTest. The first reads from inside a sample and fails without the fix with one timestamp against zero values; the others pin that a completed sample stamps every process with one time, and that the halves come back together.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1476b

CSV export can misstate memory history by reporting values before a process was watched or associating samples with the wrong times. Export filenames can also sort out of chronological order during daylight-saving fallback. These data-integrity issues should be corrected before merge.

Copy watchedSinceMillis into the snapshot.

ProcessMemoryInfo.snapshot() uses the default value of watchedSinceMillis, which is 0L. The CSV snapshot then treats pre-watch zero-filled memory history as measured zero values instead of empty cells for processes added during a session.

Keep each timestamp buffer atomically aligned with its metric values.

MemoryUsageWatcher advances sampleTimes before it updates process histories. A failed process read, or an export during that pass, leaves timestamp and value indices out of sync. The controller also copies timestamps and values through separate lock acquisitions, so a sampler can advance a series between those copies. MetricsCsv pairs arrays by index, which can export a value under the wrong timestamp.

  • app/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/utils/MemoryUsageWatcher.kt#L217-L220: commit the timestamp and all successfully collected process-history values as one synchronized sampling batch. Do not retain a timestamp for a failed pass.

Correct on both halves, and this is the most serious finding on the PR. I checked rather than took it.

The append. MemoryUsageWatcher.readUsages takes historyLock at line 217 to advance sampleTimes, releases it, then takes it again per process at line 254 to append that process's value. A reader between the two sees timestamps one entry ahead of every value. MetricsCsv pairs them by index, so every row in the file would report its value under the previous sample's time.

The copy. Worse, and independent: the snapshot calls sampleTimes(), then getMemoryUsages(), then getUsage() twice more, each taking the lock separately. A sampler tick landing between any two of those skews that series against the others by one, and nothing about the single-append fix prevents it.

What it costs is exactly the thing this file exists for. At the default rate a one-sample skew is a second, which sounds harmless until you are correlating a crash against the memory curve and the peak is attributed to the wrong moment. At the slowest offered rate it is a minute. And it is silent: the file looks perfectly well-formed.

Two corrections to the framing. "A failed process read leaves them out of sync" is not the mechanism -- a read that throws takes the whole coroutine, which is the separate finding on ADFA-5514. The mechanism here is purely the lock being released between the two writes. And this is not confined to memory: network and power each advance their own sampleTimes in the same block as their values, so they are internally consistent; it is memory's split, plus the multi-accessor copy, that break alignment.

The fix I'd want is not "commit the timestamp and the histories together" alone, since that leaves the copy side open. It is one accessor that returns the times and every series under a single lock acquisition -- which also removes the reason the caller has to know there are four separate reads to coordinate. Note that ADFA-5526, later in this stack, already moved the per-process copy under one lock (copyHistoriesInto); it did not join it to the timestamp copy, so that PR narrows this without closing it.

@davidschachterADFA, thank you for the detailed validation.

You are correct. The cause is the split historyLock acquisition, not a failed process read. I will narrow the finding accordingly.

The fix must cover both operations:

  1. Commit sampleTimes and all memory histories in one historyLock section.
  2. Expose one MemoryUsageWatcher export snapshot that copies the timestamps and all process histories in that same lock section.
  3. Make MetricsCarouselController use that snapshot instead of coordinating separate accessor calls.

This prevents silent one-sample timestamp skew at every configured sampling rate.

Learning: In `app/src/main/java/com/itsaky/androidide/utils/MemoryUsageWatcher.kt`, a metrics export must obtain `sampleTimes` and every process usage history through one accessor under one `historyLock` acquisition. Separate calls to `sampleTimes()` and `getMemoryUsages()` can race with sampling and pair values with the wrong timestamps.

Learning: In `MemoryUsageWatcher.readUsages`, timestamp/value misalignment is caused by releasing `historyLock` after advancing `sampleTimes` and before appending process histories. A failed process read is not the mechanism for this alignment defect.

Pin the complete CSV schema with a literal expected header.

This assertion derives the expected schema from MetricsCsv.HEADER itself. A rename or reorder of unreferenced columns can change the exported wire format while this test still passes. Assert the complete expected header list and its order independently of the implementation constant.

Valid, and it is the sharper version of a problem I half-noticed and did not act on.

The assertion reads lines.single() == MetricsCsv.HEADER.joinToString(",") { "\"$it\"" }, which cannot fail: it computes the expectation from the thing under test. A rename, a reorder, a dropped column, an added one -- all pass. For a format that ADFA-5494 reads back and that ADFA-5526 and ADFA-5534 ship to us in reports, that is the one test that most needed to be independent of the implementation.

There is a second, less obvious hole in the same test: it also derives the quoting from HEADER, so a change to how string cells are quoted would pass too, even though rule (b) of the format is exactly about quoting.

The fix is a literal, written out in full and in order, so that changing the format requires changing the test and noticing. I'd write it as the exact expected line rather than a list, since the wire format is a line of text and that is what a consumer parses.

@davidschachterADFA, agreed. The test must use one literal, fully quoted header line in the required column order.

This makes the test independent of both MetricsCsv.HEADER and the CSV cell-quoting implementation. Any schema or quoting change will then require an explicit contract update.

Learning: In `app/src/test/java/com/itsaky/androidide/utils/MetricsCsvTest.kt`, the canonical CSV header test must assert one literal, fully quoted CSV header line in exact order. Do not derive the expected header columns or quoting behavior from `MetricsCsv.HEADER`, because ADFA-5494 reads the format and ADFA-5526 and ADFA-5534 include it in reports.

The watchers kept values and no times. The chart does not need them --
it reads a sample's age from its position in the buffer -- but the
exported metrics file states a time per row, and inferring one from an
index would be wrong three ways: the newest sample was taken up to an
interval before the export, the sampling loop delays *after* doing its
work so its true period runs long, and a series can stop and restart
without its buffer being cleared.

Not a small error, either. Measured on a Pixel 6 Pro at a nominal 1s
rate, the real gap between samples averaged 1.108s and reached 1.758s.
Over a full ten-thousand-sample buffer that is eighteen minutes of skew
at the old end of the file.

One ring buffer per watcher, appended where the values are appended and
cleared alongside them, so a zero at an index means nothing was ever
sampled there -- which is what will tell an empty cell apart from a
measured zero. A per-process "watched since" goes with it: a process can
start being watched long after the others, and the Gradle daemon will
(ADFA-5514), so its buffer reaches back to the start of the session
however late it appeared.

MetricsAnnotationStore gains allAnnotations(), since the file carries the
whole retained history and recentAnnotations() has no argument meaning
"all of it" that does not overflow its cutoff arithmetic.

…he same way

The format section of the ticket is the single definition of this file,
and ADFA-5494, ADFA-5526 and ADFA-5534 each produce or consume it -- they
differ only in compressing it. So it lives in one place, with no Android
types, and the whole format is tested without a device.

A row is a sampling tick. Its stated time is the memory watcher's,
recorded when it sampled rather than reconstructed, and the network and
power values on that row are the samples at the same index, taken within
one interval of it. The three watchers share an interval, are started
together and are cleared together, which is what makes the index mean the
same thing in all three; they do not read their sources at the same
instant, and the file says so rather than implying otherwise.

Decisions the ticket left open:

- The row timestamp is ISO 8601 with the device's offset, which
  round-trips exactly for ADFA-5494 and stays legible to someone triaging
  a report from another timezone. Written with an explicit three-digit
  fraction rather than ISO_OFFSET_DATE_TIME, which drops trailing zeros
  and gives a column of varying width -- ".38" on one row and ".123" on
  the next.
- The filename keeps its own format, deliberately different: rule (c) is
  built from what a filesystem allows and what sorts lexicographically.
- An export always produces a file. With nothing sampled it is a header
  and no rows, which a consumer can handle more easily than a file that
  may or may not exist -- and the empty case is not exotic, since
  changing the sampling rate clears every buffer.
- The memory columns are fixed at the three the chart can plot rather
  than taken from what is being watched, because that set changes during
  a session and a header that followed it would describe a different file
  each time.

Item (2) of the ticket is the same rule applied to the image: the PNG
used to lead with the chart's title, which sorted a pair exported at the
same moment apart. Both writers now take an injectable clock, which is
also what lets a test write distinguishable files without racing the
millisecond the name is built from.

A spreadsheet icon to the left of the camera, sharing its corner and its
touch target. Both are exports, and every other gesture over the chart is
already spoken for -- paging, the two-finger tap that undocks, pinch to
zoom, and a tap on the x axis for the sampling rate.

It exports the whole buffer, not the visible window and not the page on
screen: this is the file the format is defined around, and its other
consumers want everything there is. Assembly happens on the UI thread
because it is snapshots of the watchers' buffers; formatting and writing
happen off it, because ten thousand rows is not a click listener's work.

The annotations needed converting, not just copying. MetricsAnnotationStore
records on SystemClock.elapsedRealtime, which is monotonic and is what the
chart wants -- it only ever asks how long ago something happened -- while
the samples carry epoch milliseconds. Comparing the two directly is not a
small error: a monotonic time is a few hours since boot and an epoch time
is decades, so every row looks about equally far from a marker and the
nearest-row search lands on whichever number is smallest, which is the
oldest row in the buffer every time. On a device the build marker
appeared four minutes before the build. The conversion is a pure function
with the failure mode pinned by a test of its own.

The button carries a long-press help tag like every other control in the
carousel, and its Tier 1 and Tier 2 text is written into the
documentation database. ADFA-5513 still owes it a Tier 3 destination, as
it does the other twelve; that ticket has been told.

Verified on a Pixel 6 Pro. A tap writes 2026_09_07_00_20_09_926.csv and
opens the share sheet; the image exported beside it differs only in
extension. Against a real build: sixty-five rows, timestamps a second
apart and irregular as recorded, "Build started" on the row 1.3s after
the Run tap, a task marker carrying the Gradle task's own name, and
"Build finished" nineteen seconds later. The Gradle daemon column is
present and empty, which is correct until ADFA-5514 lands.

The export asked each watcher for its sample times and then for its
values, in two separate locked calls. A sample landing between them
shifts every value one index against the times, so each row of the file
carries its neighbour's timestamp -- for the whole buffer, not just the
newest row. That is the one property a row of this file has.

Two halves, because both sides had a window:

The memory sampler appended the time in one critical section and each
process's value in another, so a reader could catch a buffer holding
one more timestamp than values. It now reads every process first, off
the lock, and appends the time and all the values together. The
reflective PSS read becomes an injectable reader, matching the other
watchers' readRxBytes/readTxBytes, which is also what lets a test read
from inside a sample.

Readers get one call per watcher. MemoryUsageWatcher.history() returns
times and per-process values from one critical section; the network and
power sample times ride on the NetworkUsage and PowerUsage they were
recorded with. The times-only accessors are gone, so the window cannot
be reintroduced by asking for the halves separately.

The test reads from inside a sample and fails without the fix with one
timestamp against zero values.
