Contributor guide

Tech stack: kotlinandroid
Domain: mobile
Issue type: bug
Difficulty: 3
Estimated time: half day
Activity status: active
Clarity: mostly clear
Prerequisites: basic Android development environmentknowledge of app permissionsunderstanding of temporary directories on Android
Newbie friendliness: 65
Research direction: Investigate how the temporary directory is configured in Seal. Look at relevant Kotlin source files (e.g., DownloadManager, Utils) to understand the path passed to yt dlp. Consider why /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/tmp is not usable, possibly due to missing permissions or SELinux restrictions. Test on Android 12 and lower API versions to reproduce. Check if there is a fallback mechanism to use app specific cache directory.
