AAP vs BLE is an implementation detail. From a user perspective these are 'when X happens, do Y' toggles like Auto Play/Pause. Gate them on device.isAapConnected so they stay hidden on phones without L2CAP support, avoiding confusion. The separate 'Smart features' section and its string resource are removed.
Visual: wrap Noise Control in SettingsSection for consistency with Sound/Controls/Smart features, add divider between ANC mode picker and trailing items.
Categories: rename 'Other' to 'Smart features', move Microphone Mode to Sound, move Conversation Awareness to Smart features alongside Sleep Detection, place Adaptive Noise adjacent to ANC mode picker.
Extraction: split DeviceInfoCard, NotConnectedCard, AapUnavailableCard into cards/; AutoConnectConditionDialog, RenameDialog, SystemRenameUnavailableDialog into dialogs/; NoiseControlCombined into components/. Each with isolated previews.
PlayPause coerced null per-side ear values to false, making all ear states invisible when resolvedPrimaryPod was unknown. Fall back to AAP aggregate state (isBeingWorn/isEitherPodInEar) when per-side mapping is unavailable, keeping PodDevice.isLeftInEar/isRightInEar truthful for UI consumers. Add isEitherPodInEar to PlayPauseMonitorKey for proper dedup. Add diagnostic logging at the distinctUntilChangedBy boundary.
Hide the overlay popup when MainActivity is in the foreground since the user can already see battery info in the app. Show an info card when popups are enabled explaining they only appear outside the app. Show a warning card with a Fix button when monitor mode is MANUAL.
Refactor SettingsInfoBox into a reusable component with INFO/WARNING types and optional action slot.
Move each composable from PodCardComponents.kt into its own file under a new cards/components/ subpackage. Add previews to each file. Also add getBatteryIcon() for Compose Material Icon battery levels used in the popup.
When both pods broadcast independently (one in case, one on desk), the pod inside the case carries authoritative case state via hasCaseContext bits. Previously, whichever address was processed last would overwrite the other, causing case state to flip-flop between OPEN and NOT_IN_CASE every scan cycle.
Two-layer fix: BlePodMonitor.processWithCache() now prefers the pod with case context when two scan results map to the same identity in one batch. ApplePodsFactory.getLatestCaseLidState() no longer treats NOT_IN_CASE as authoritative when recent history contains a broadcast with case context.
Serialize AapConnection.send() with a dedicated sendMutex so two concurrent optimistic state updates cannot clobber each other. Collapse the OFF toggle click into a single combined VM call that runs both SetListeningModeCycle and SetAllowOffOption sequentially.
Wrap setting sections in SettingsSection cards using Material 3 surfaceContainerLow surfaces with rounded corners. Reorder Controls by usage frequency, move Microphone Mode to Other section, and replace ear detection info row with a contextual info box that only appears for BLE-only connections.
Migrate reaction toggles (auto-play, auto-pause, auto-connect, popups) from global ReactionSettings singleton to per-profile fields on AppleDeviceProfile. Each paired device can now have independent reaction behavior.
Extract ReactionConfig snapshot to decouple PodDevice from AppleDeviceProfile — reaction consumers read device.reactions instead of device.profile. Remove auto-connect from upgrade benefits (now free). Add LegacyReactionSettingsReader for one-shot DataStore migration.
Makes the inline upgrade badge a tiny star + short label (Pro on gplay, FOSS on foss) instead of icon-only. Text is flavor-switched via upgrade_badge_label in each flavor's strings.xml, primary color, labelSmall typography, no pill background to keep it lightweight when multiple rows stack it. Accessibility uses the existing common_upgrade_required_label.
The 'Pro' label is gplay-specific vocabulary — FOSS unlocks the same features via sponsorship. Aligns with the existing flavor-neutral terms already used in UpgradeRepo, Nav.Main.Upgrade and launchUpgrade(). Renames the proLocked parameter to requiresUpgrade across SettingsBaseItem and its three wrappers, and adds a new common_upgrade_required_label string (Requires upgrade) for the badge content description.
Unifies the three inconsistent pro-gating UI patterns (text button header, star-replaces-switch, silent gates) into a single inline star badge next to the title, driven by a new proLocked parameter on SettingsBaseItem that propagates to all wrappers. Switches stay visible so users can see state and disable ex-pro toggles. Hides the Noise Control visibility buttons when non-pro and surfaces a dedicated cycle customization row with the indicator. Deletes two duplicate local ProGated composables.
Groundwork for a future pro indicator on the overview card's ANC mode selector. Adds isPro + onUpgrade parameters to OverviewScreen, PodDeviceCard, DualPodsCard, SinglePodsCard (currently unused inside the cards, defaults keep existing previews working). Wraps AncModeSelector in a Box as a scaffold for an overlay. Bumps surfaceContainerLowDark to match surfaceContainerDark in all three theme palettes (Amber/Blue/Green) across standard/medium/high contrast. No user-facing change yet.
