Two field reports from one Android user, with one shape between them: a
decision taken once, at a moment when the answer was still wrong, and never
revisited.
The console UI could not be dismissed. "With a controller" asks whether a pad
is attached, and the client answered that with `isPad` — does this device's
source class include gamepad or joystick. That is the right question for
ROUTING an event and the wrong one for presence: devices publish inputs that
claim the source class while being no such thing (OEM game-mode overlays, the
gaming-phone shoulder triggers), and one of them is enough to pin the console
UI on forever, because a pad that was never there can never disconnect.
`pads()` now filters on `looksLikeController`: the source claim AND hardware
behind it — a stick, a HAT, or the A/B face buttons — on a device the platform
did not synthesize itself. The claim is cheap; the hardware is not. `isPad`
keeps its looser meaning for the event lane, where it is correct. It is not a
complete defence (an OEM device that declares BTN_GAMEPAD and two axes is
indistinguishable from a pad at this layer), so the master switch stays the
guaranteed way out — and the Controllers screen still lists everything real in
one column or the other, which is where someone looks when the client's idea of
"a pad is attached" disagrees with the room.
The picture sat in the top-left corner. The ASurfaceControl layer composites
into the SurfaceView's on-screen rectangle, read once at `surfaceCreated` — but
the stream screen hides the system bars and switches the window to draw into
the display cutout a frame or two later, and each of those grows the view under
a surface that is never recreated. The layer went on painting at the size it
started with, anchored at the origin. It passed on glass because a device whose
bars were already hidden when the surface arrived never sees the gap.
The size is now live: a packed atomic on the session handle, seeded by
`nativeStartVideo`, re-reported by `nativeVideoSurfaceSize` from every
`surfaceChanged`, and read by the layer before each present. One atomic load per
frame, and rotation and multi-window come along for free.
Verified: `:kit:cargoNdkClippy` (arm64 + armv7, deny warnings), `:kit:` and
`:app:` unit tests, and the native crate's own suite. The new JNI symbol is
exported in the built `.so`.
