enricobuehler 8e8d30202c fix(client/android): a Sony pad's buttons no longer wait on its calibration
Supersedes the parse gate in 26b0819f. The off-thread read, the claim token, the
teardown ordering and its bounded wait all stand — only what happens in the gap
changes.

26b0819f held every report back until the calibration read came home, so a pad
that stalled on EP0 could feel dead for up to the link's 250 ms timeout: no
buttons, no sticks, nothing. Reports are now forwarded immediately and their
motion scaled by the nominal calibration until the real one lands.

That gap is exactly the behaviour that shipped before f6de620f — acceleration
~18% short, gyro unscaled — for about a millisecond. Nobody can feel that. A
controller that ignores a button press for a quarter of a second is not in the
same category, and it is the only one of the two a user would ever report.

It is also the safer of the two conservatisms available here. The rejected third
option, forwarding motion as zeroes until the real numbers arrive, would have the
host read a still pad as being in free fall — a lie about the physical world
rather than an imprecision about it. The nominal constants are merely a slightly
wrong scale.

The token is more load-bearing under this, not less. With a gate, an unpublished
calibration meant "parse nothing"; now it means "scale nominally", so begin()
clearing the previous pad's value is the whole reason a re-claim falls back to
the nominal constants instead of silently inheriting factory numbers belonging to
a different unit — which are, in general, further off than nominal. The fallback
therefore lives in the hand-off itself (MotionCalHandoff.effective) rather than
as an elvis at the call site: restoring the gate now means changing the type's
API, not deleting three characters in onReport.

The tests moved with the contract. They assert the nominal calibration is what is
in effect during the gap, rather than merely that the slot is empty — an empty
slot is now compatible with either behaviour, so asserting on it would have let
a regression pass. Added the case the change exists for: the same raw report,
parsed either side of publication, forwards identical buttons and sticks while
its gyro and acceleration convert differently. Mutation-checked three ways —
dropping the nominal fallback fails all five cases, dropping begin's clear fails
the inheritance case, dropping the token check fails three.

Gate: `:kit:compileDebugKotlin`, `:kit:testDebugUnitTest` and
`:app:compileDebugKotlin` green on a forced clean rerun, 62 cases across the
module, 0 failed, with the five hand-off cases read back out of the JUnit XML.
The on-glass re-verification f6de620f owes is still owed and unchanged.

punktfunk — Android client (phone & TV)

The native Android app for streaming a punktfunk host to your phone, tablet, or Android TV. A Compose app that finds hosts on your network, pairs with a PIN, and streams at the display's own resolution — with hardware HEVC decode, HDR10, and controller support, built for both touch and the couch (D-pad / gamepad focus navigation).

Features

  • Hardware decode — NDK AMediaCodec HEVC → SurfaceView, including HDR10 (Main10 / BT.2020 PQ), with low-latency tuning and a live stats HUD.
  • Audio both ways — Opus + AAudio playback with a jitter ring, plus mic uplink to the host.
  • Controller support — buttons + axes with rumble and HID feedback (lightbar / adaptive triggers); D-pad / gamepad focus navigation for TV and phone.
  • Find hosts automatically — native mDNS discovery; first connect does a one-time SPAKE2 PIN pairing (or TOFU on trusted LANs), then reconnects on a Keystore-wrapped, pinned identity.
  • Compose UI — Connect / Settings / Stream screens with Material You theming.

Built for arm64-v8a + armeabi-v7a + x86_64 — the 32-bit armeabi-v7a slice is what keeps the app installable on the many 32-bit Google TV / Android TV streamers (Walmart onn. 4K, Chromecast with Google TV, budget Amlogic boxes) that otherwise reject a 64-bit-only build as "not compatible".

How it's built — Rust-heavy

Kotlin can't import the cbindgen C header the way Swift can, so a native bridge is unavoidable. We write it in Rust and link punktfunk-core directly — so the Android client reuses the Linux client's orchestration (audio jitter ring, VK keymap inverse, latency/skew math, capture state machine, trust logic) instead of re-porting it into Kotlin.

Side Owns
Rust (native/libpunktfunk_android.so) the JNI seam, NativeClient (QUIC control + UDP data plane), AnnexB → AMediaCodec decode (incl. HDR10), Opus + AAudio audio + mic, controller feedback, latency math, trust/pairing, mdns-sd discovery
Kotlin (app/, kit/) Compose UI, SurfaceView lifecycle, input capture, the Wi-Fi MulticastLock + permission UX, Keystore identity

The single seam is io.unom.punktfunk.kit.NativeBridgeJava_io_unom_punktfunk_kit_NativeBridge_*.

Build & run

Prerequisites: Android SDK + NDK r30 (30.0.14904198), platforms;android-37.0, build-tools;37.0.0, cmake;3.22.1 (builds libopus); JDK 21 (AGP 9.2 runs on JDK 1721, not a newer default); Rust with rustup target add aarch64-linux-android armv7-linux-androideabi x86_64-linux-android and cargo install cargo-ndk. Toolchain is pinned (AGP 9.2 · Gradle 9.4.1 · Kotlin 2.3.21 · Compose BOM 2026.05.01 · compileSdk 37 · minSdk 28).

Android Studio: open clients/android — it uses its bundled JBR 21, and the cargoNdk* task builds the .so as part of the normal build.

CLI (point Gradle at JDK 21 if your machine default is newer):

export JAVA_HOME="$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 21)"   # or your Temurin 21 path
cd clients/android
./gradlew :app:assembleDebug     # cargo-ndk cross-compiles libpunktfunk_android.so first
./gradlew :app:installDebug      # onto a running emulator/device
# emulators from env setup:  emulator -avd pf_phone   |   emulator -avd pf_tv

The debug APK lands in app/build/outputs/apk/debug/. Launch it, pick a host, pair, and stream.
