## Summary
Reopening kiosk mode PR (previously #4218) after addressing all review
feedback from @bgoncal. Apologies for the delay — some family matters
pulled me away, but I'm excited to get this implemented and am fully
committed to seeing it through.
This PR adds the foundational infrastructure for **kiosk mode** — a
feature designed for wall-mounted iPad displays running Home Assistant
dashboards.
### What's included:
- **KioskModeManager** — Central coordinator singleton with
KioskModeObserver protocol (no NotificationCenter)
- **KioskSettings** — Comprehensive settings model with GRDB persistence
(camelCase columns, Codable)
- **Screensaver system** — Clock screensaver with 4 styles, pixel shift
for OLED burn-in prevention
- **Secret exit gesture** — Configurable corner tap to access settings
when locked down
- **Status bar hiding** — StatusBarForwardingNavigationController for
proper UIKit integration
- **Settings UI** — SwiftUI settings accessible via Settings menu and
secret gesture
- **28 unit tests** — Covering settings serialization, time logic,
orientations, enums
### Changes since #4218 (all review feedback addressed):
- ✅ Fixed settings modal dismissal on iOS 15 (UINavigationController +
explicit onDismiss closure)
- ✅ Fixed status bar hiding (StatusBarForwardingNavigationController +
statusBarView integration)
- ✅ Removed non-functional settings (navigationLockdown,
TouchFeedbackManager, IconMapper)
- ✅ Replaced `Date()` with `Current.date()` for testability
- ✅ GRDB persistence follows CarPlayConfig/WatchConfig pattern with
DatabaseTableProtocol
- ✅ All strings localized via L10n (SwiftGen)
- ✅ SFSafeSymbols used throughout (no string-based systemName)
- ✅ KioskModeObserver protocol (no NotificationCenter)
- ✅ Kiosk files prefixed with `Kiosk`
- ✅ UIKit screensaver container (required for status bar/home indicator
control)
- ✅ macCatalyst filtered out
- ✅ Merged with latest upstream/main (adapted to Frontend/ directory
restructure)
- ✅ Idle timer pauses when settings view is open
- ✅ TODO comments (no PR-specific comments)
### Testing Instructions
1. **Settings → Companion App → Kiosk Mode** → Enable "Enable Kiosk
Mode"
2. Set screensaver timeout to **30 seconds** for quick testing
3. Wait for screensaver → tap to wake
4. Use secret gesture (default: 3 taps in top-left corner) to access
settings
### Previous review context
All feedback from @bgoncal in #4218 has been addressed. See that PR for
full discussion history.
## Test plan
- [ ] Enable/disable kiosk mode from Settings
- [ ] Screensaver activates after timeout
- [ ] Tap to wake from screensaver
- [ ] Secret gesture opens settings
- [ ] Status bar hides when kiosk mode active (full-screen iPad only)
- [ ] Device authentication toggle works
- [ ] Settings persist across app restart
- [ ] Clock screensaver styles (large, minimal, digital, analog)
- [ ] Pixel shift moves clock position periodically
- [ ] Kiosk entry hidden on macCatalyst

## Summary
Table migration logic for adding new columns and removing obsolete
columns has been abstracted into `DatabaseTableProtocol` with a default
implementation. All 13 table implementations now conform to the extended
protocol and support automatic column migration.
**Protocol Changes:**
- Added `tableName: String` property requirement
- Added `definedColumns: [String]` property requirement
- Added default `migrateColumns(database:)` implementation that handles
adding/removing columns
**Updated Tables:**
All tables now implement the protocol and support column migration:
- `HAppEntityTable`, `WatchConfigTable`, `CarPlayConfigTable`,
`AssistPipelinesTable`
- `AppEntityRegistryListForDisplayTable`, `AppEntityRegistryTable`,
`AppDeviceRegistryTable`
- `AppPanelTable`, `CustomWidgetTable`, `AppAreaTable`
- `HomeViewConfigurationTable`, `CameraListConfigurationTable`,
`AssistConfigurationTable`
**Column Enums:**
All column enums in `DatabaseTables` now conform to `CaseIterable` for
consistent migration support.
Relies on `ALTER TABLE ... DROP COLUMN` support (SQLite 3.35+, iOS 15+).
## Screenshots

## Link to pull request in Documentation repository
N/A - No user-facing changes.
## Any other notes
The migration logic is now centralized in the protocol extension,
eliminating code duplication across table implementations. Each table
provides its `tableName` and `definedColumns`, and the shared
`migrateColumns(database:)` method handles the actual column
synchronization.
