The P0 gating branch deliberately left Android off VIDEO_CAP_MULTI_SLICE
("embedder-set decoder truth") — this is that deferred item, and the P2
slice-pipeline prerequisite. VideoDecoders.multiSliceTolerant() probes the
pick for every advertised codec: tolerant unless any pick is an Amlogic
decoder (the 0.17.0 device-rebooting wedge) or uninspectable (a null pick =
platform default → conservatively single-slice). nativeConnect carries the
bit; the JNI ORs it into the Hello's video_caps beside the panel-truth
HDR bits. Phones (Qualcomm/Exynos) advertise it; the Amlogic TV boxes the
gate exists for never will.
