📊 Completeness Estimate

Layer	% Complete	Notes
Data Models	100%	All entities, DAOs, converters done
Preferences	100%	50+ settings defined with DataStore
Core Engines	95%	Logic complete, some TODOs for ML models
Service	85%	Main logic done, needs UI integration
UI	5%	Manifests/strings only, no layouts/views
Testing	0%	No unit/integration tests yet
Documentation	60%	Code is documented, needs API docs

Overall: ~55% complete (backend-heavy, frontend-light)

🐛 Known Issues / TODOs in Code

OmniKeyService.kt

• loadAppSpecificSettings() - empty stub
• Missing android.content.Intent import
• Language switcher not implemented

SwipeEngine.kt

• findBestMatch() - returns raw key sequence, needs dictionary lookup
• No gesture trail smoothing
• No multi-stroke word recognition

MLEngine.kt

• Handwriting recognition not implemented
• OCR not implemented
• No model download progress tracking

SoundHelper.kt

• Sound files not included (R.raw.click, etc.)
• Needs asset creation or source

KeyboardView.kt

• Entire file missing - most critical gap

All UI Activities

• No layout XML files
• No ViewModel classes
• No Fragment navigation

---

🚀 To Run Current Code

Will NOT work yet because KeyboardView doesn't exist. Service will crash on onCreateInputView().

To make it minimally functional:

1. Create stub KeyboardView.kt:

class KeyboardView(context: Context) : View(context) {
    private var keyListener: ((String, KeyType) -> Unit)? = null
    private var swipeListener: ((SwipePath) -> Unit)? = null
    private var gestureListener: ((GestureType) -> Unit)? = null

    fun setOnKeyListener(listener: (String, KeyType) -> Unit) { keyListener = listener }
    fun setOnSwipeListener(listener: (SwipePath) -> Unit) { swipeListener = listener }
    fun setOnGestureListener(listener: (GestureType) -> Unit) { gestureListener = listener }
    fun applyTheme(theme: KeyboardTheme) { }
    fun updateSuggestions(predictions: List<String>) { }
    fun toggleShift() { }
    fun showEmojiPanel() { }
    fun showSymbolLayout() { }
    fun showNumberLayout() { }
}

2. Create stub MainActivity.kt
3. Build & install
4. Enable keyboard in settings
5. Keyboard will show blank screen but service logic will run
