### 2.4 SIM ↔ USIM format divergence
Some features are represented by a different file (or the same FID with a
different structure) in the SIM (DF.GSM, TS 51.011) and USIM (ADF.USIM,
TS 31.102) applications. Three groups:
| group | SIM | USIM | purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| A — same FID + name, different format | EF.ECC 6FB7 transparent 3n (code+ESC) | EF.ECC 6FB7 linear X+4 (code+alpha+ESC) | emergency codes |
| A | EF.AD 6FAD 3+X (no MNC length) | EF.AD 6FAD 4+X (+ MNC length) | administrative data |
| B — same FID, different name + format | EF.SST 6F38 (2-bit) | EF.UST 6F38 (1-bit) | service table |
| B | EF.LP 6F05 (1 B/lang) | EF.LI 6F05 (2 B/lang) | language preference |
| C — different FID + name + format | EF.PLMNsel 6F30 (3n, no AcT) | EF.PLMNwAcT 6F60 (5n, +AcT) | user PLMN selector |
| C | EF.Kc/KcGPRS 6F20/6F52 (9 B) | EF.Keys/KeysPS 6F08/6F09 (33 B) | ciphering keys |
| C | EF.CCP 6F3D (14 B) | EF.CCP2 6F4F (X≥15) | bearer capability |
Group A is the only one where the *name and FID both* collide, so those two
(EF.ECC, EF.AD) are what the DF-context resolver (finding 6) is for; groups B
and C are already disambiguated by name. EF.HPLMNwAcT (a list) vs the SIM
EF.HPPLMN (a 1-byte search period) is a related-but-different pair, and
OPLMNwAcT/OPL/PNN/EHPLMN/FPLMN/SPDI/IMG are USIM-only (no SIM counterpart).

mis-parses BDN records, and the v3.33.0 encoder would corrupt them. The
codec must take the layout (ADN vs BDN) and preserve the CMI pointer.
2. **EF.ECC has two layouts.** SIM: transparent 3n (TS 51.011 10.3.27);
USIM: linear fixed X+4 (TS 31.102 4.2.21). The decoder implements the SIM
layout only; on a USIM the alpha bytes are read as more codes. A
structure-aware decode is needed before an ECC editor.
2. **EF.ECC is two different files, not one file with two layouts.** They
share the FID `6FB7` **and the name `EF.ECC`**, but live in different DFs
under different specs: DF.GSM — transparent 3n, code(2 BCD) + category
(TS 51.011 10.3.27); ADF.USIM — linear fixed X+4, code(3 BCD) + alpha
(Annex A) + category (TS 31.102 4.2.21). The decoder implements the SIM
file only; on a USIM the alpha bytes are read as more codes. They also
need **different editors** (a plain code list vs a record form with a text
alpha), so they are two registry entries, resolved by the DF context —
not a name/FID lookup, which is ambiguous here (the name *and* the FID
collide).
3. **S8 is not one shape.** PNN (flat tag+length+value TLVs) is the simple
case. DIR/ARR/PBR nest TLVs and cross-reference other files; they need
either a tree editor or a structured read-only view first.

## 6. Cross-file "Services" editor (proposal)
A file-agnostic service editor for the Card reader tab, in addition to the
per-file decoded editors (which stay independent). It presents the four
service tables side by side and writes them back consistently, so EF.SST's
allocated/activated layout no longer needs its own per-file grid (SST stays
read-only in the per-file editor).
- **Scope**: EF.SST (DF.GSM, 2 bits/service: allocated + activated), EF.UST
(ADF.USIM, 1 bit), EF.EST (ADF.USIM, a 3-bit *enabled* subset of UST:
FDN/BDN/ACL = UST 2/6/35) and EF.IST (ADF.ISIM, 1 bit, IMS services).
- **The numbering does not align across files**: SST and UST (and EST/IST)
use different service-number -> name maps, so the editor is driven by a
curated **feature cross-reference** (by name), not by service number. Each
feature row belongs to *SIM-only*, *USIM-only*, *ISIM-only* or *shared*
(e.g. FDN = SST 3 / UST 2 / EST 1; SMS = SST 4 / UST 10). The table is
spec-derived and pinned by a test, like the event/TR vectors.
- **Card-aware and probed**: on open, the editor resolves the four files on
the current card (the file-manager presence state, or a targeted probe) and
renders a column per file that exists; an absent file (a card without ISIM
has no EF.IST) hides that column and its feature rows entirely. Presence is
cached per `card_session`, like the EF.ARR copies.
- **Semantics**: "enabled" = UST bit set = SST *allocated* **and** *activated*.
SST's intermediate "allocated but not activated" state has no UST
equivalent, so the SIM column is a per-feature toggle between *on*
(allocated + activated) and *off* (allocated but not activated) — the
Services editor never de-allocates, so a card-wide change keeps the SIM
able to re-enable the service. Explicit *deletion* (clearing the allocation
bit) is the per-file EF.SST editor's job: its grid is a tri-state per
service (deleted / allocated-off / on).
- **Write, per file**: the merged form carries the intended bytes for every
visible file, but writing is explicit and separate — one button per file
("Save to EF.SST", "Save to EF.UST", "Save to EF.EST", "Save to EF.IST").
Each button writes only that file via `/api/write`; an unchanged file is
skipped and the panel reports each write's result (there is no atomic
cross-file write).
- **Filesystem check**: many services declare a DF or EF (ADN -> EF.ADN 6F3A,
SPN -> EF.SPN 6F46, GSM Access -> DF.GSM, GPRS -> EF.KcGPRS, …); a second
curated table maps a feature to the file(s) it requires. A **Check** action
probes the equipped card for those files (reusing the file-manager presence
state / a targeted SELECT) and flags mismatches — a declared service whose
file is absent, or a present file whose service is not declared. Services
that map to a capability rather than a file (CHV1 disable, Proactive SIM,
…) carry no file check. The result is cached per `card_session`.
### 6.1 Candidates for the same cross-application treatment
The cross-file pattern of the Services editor generalises to the other
SIM/USIM feature pairs (group C in §2.4), where one operator action should
update both applications consistently:
- **PLMN selectors** — EF.PLMNsel (SIM, no AcT) ↔ EF.PLMNwAcT (USIM, +AcT):
a shared PLMN list, the SIM side dropping the AcT and the USIM side
re-applying it (AcT is not expressible on the SIM side).
- **Language preferences** — EF.LP (SIM, 1 B/lang) ↔ EF.LI (USIM, 2 B/lang)
↔ EF.PL (MF, 2 B/lang): a shared ordered language list re-encoded per file.
- **Bearer capabilities** — EF.CCP (SIM) ↔ EF.CCP2 (USIM): a shared
bearer-capability record re-encoded per file's layout.
None of these are committed; they are recorded here so the DF-context resolver
and the per-file encoders are shaped with them in mind (group A/C files must
not be fid-only).
