* Installed apps against a public, maintained stalkerware list (Echap's

indicators, bundled, matched by package name and signing certificate so

* Apps with notification access.

* Which sensitive permissions each app holds right now: microphone,

camera, location, text messages, call history, contacts and more.

* Apps that start at boot or declare background services for location,

* Keyboards, certificate authorities a person added, VPN apps and the

always-on VPN setting.

* The default text message app, dialer and assistant, device and profile

owners, and whether a work profile exists.

* USB and wireless debugging, developer options, and battery optimization

exemptions.

* Apps with no launcher icon, and apps installed from outside any store,
