[Feature]: Audit logs need more detail to be useful for debugging #29

Description

@MRAKS05

Description

The audit logs in Browser Limit lack sufficient detail to be genuinely useful for debugging or understanding what happened during detection and uninstall events. Key information is missing, and the export format is limited.

Problems

1. shizukuResult field exists but is never populated

The LogEntry model has a shizukuResult field, but it is never written to in any call site (AppInstallReceiver, OverlayActivity, LogsScreen recheck). When an uninstall fails, there is no record of the Shizuku command output or error.

2. No error details captured on failure

When decision == "Error", there is no field to store the exception message, stack trace, or reason code. You just see "Error" with no way to know what went wrong.

3. No app version tracking

The app's version code / version name is not captured. If a user reinstalls a browser or an update bypasses detection, there is no way to correlate the event with the app version.

4. No search, filter, or pagination in the log viewer

With up to 500 stored logs, there is no way to search by package name, filter by decision type, or view logs within a date range.

5. Poor export format

The bulk export produces a simple pipe-delimited text file with no headers, no CSV/JSON option, and no share intent integration. It always exports all logs or nothing.

6. No log sharing

Logs can only be saved to the Downloads folder. There is no share/send intent, making it cumbersome to attach logs to a bug report.

Proposed Improvements

  • Populate shizukuResult in all call sites with actual Shizuku output
  • Add an errorDetails / exceptionMessage field to LogEntry
  • Capture appVersionCode and appVersionName at detection time
  • Add search/filter UI to the logs screen (by package name, decision, date range)
  • Add CSV and JSON export options
  • Add a share intent for log export
  • Consider adding detection duration / API call timing to help diagnose performance issues

Affected Area

  • Audit Log
  • Detection / Engine
  • Overlay / Countdown
