 - `HOME_URL` — the webpage to load
 - `ALLOWED_HOSTS` — domains that stay inside the WebView
 - `BACK_PRESS_EXIT_COUNT` / `BACK_PRESS_WINDOW_MS` — back-button exit guard
-- `ADMIN_TAP_COUNT` / `ADMIN_TAP_WINDOW_MS` — hidden admin exit gesture (7 taps top-left corner)
+- `ADMIN_VOLUME_HOLD_MS` — hold Volume Up + Volume Down this long to open the admin dialog
+- `ADMIN_BARCODE` — scanning this value (Intent mode) opens the admin dialog
 
 ## Navigation Rules
 
 - URLs on `joykoo.mx` or `smart.joykoo.mx` (and subdomains) load inside the WebView
 - All other URLs are silently blocked
 - Back button goes back in WebView history; 3 rapid presses exits when no history
-- Admin exit: 7 rapid taps in top-left 60dp corner → confirmation dialog (PIN-ready stub)
+- Admin dialog (exit / toggle soft keyboard): hold both volume keys 5 s, or scan `ADMIN_BARCODE`. Volume keys are consumed and never reach the page. No touch gestures — corner taps leaked through to site UI
