## What it is
Stellar is a deeply customized fork of Shizuku, an Android framework that lets apps use system-level APIs via ADB wireless debugging or Root privileges without needing root themselves. It adds a fine-grained multi-permission system, boot-time auto-start, dual-process mutual watchdogs, and a Shizuku compatibility layer.

## Use cases
- use system-level android apis without rooting my phone
- grant runtime permissions to other apps via adb
- run privileged shell processes from an android app
- start a privileged service automatically on boot
- shizuku alternative with finer permission control
- fix shizuku not working on mediatek devices

## When to choose
- you need Shizuku-like privileged API access with granular permission management
- you want auto-start on boot or watchdog-protected service persistence
- you rely on deprecated Shizuku APIs like newProcess() or runtime permission granting
- your device is MediaTek and stock Shizuku fails

## When to avoid
- you want the official, widely-adopted Shizuku with maximal ecosystem support
- you need rish shell tool or Zygisk-Sui support, which Stellar removed
- you prefer minimal, upstream-maintained tooling over a customized fork
