Summary

  • add a new bluetooth backend (src/service/backends/bluetooth.js) that integrates with BlueZ ProfileManager1 and Device1
  • register the KDE Connect RFCOMM profile UUID and reuse the bundled SDP record for service registration
  • add Bluetooth identity/certificate exchange and certificate trust validation for paired devices
  • register backend in manager and support bluetooth:// reconnect/identify flow
  • extend connect dialog to allow manual Bluetooth address connection
  • persist Bluetooth certificate trust and improve Bluetooth encryption info display
  • document implementation and current limitations in docs/bluetooth-transport.md

Notes

  • this implementation is marked experimental
  • payload transfer channels (upload/download) are not implemented yet for Bluetooth in this first iteration

Validation

  • npx eslint src/service/backends/bluetooth.js src/service/manager.js src/service/device.js src/preferences/service.js (passes with JSDoc warnings only)
