PR #5 — Fix: energy-saving mode stops RTMP stream (Draft)
🛠️ Critical bug fix: Energy-saving mode was calling stopPreview(), which closed the camera capture session and killed the RTMP stream. The fix implements energy-saving as a pure UI overlay — the SurfaceView stays in the Compose composition at all times and a dark overlay is composited on top. The encoder, camera, and RTMP connection are never touched. Toggling on/off any number of times during a live stream is now safe.
⚠️ Build couldn't be verified locally (firewall blocked dl.google.com) — needs CI verification or local review.
PR #6 — No changes: non-actionable issue (Draft)
A stale draft PR from a misrouted calendar query. Safe to close — no code changes.

🗺️ Implementation Plan Progress
The WBS defines ~42 tasks across 5 stages. Based on the commit history:
| Stage |
Tasks |
Status |
| Stage 0: Foundation (T-001, T-002) |
Project scaffold + data models |
✅ Done |
| Stage 1: Core Infra (T-003, T-013, T-032, T-033, T-038) |
DI, permissions, manifest, CI, logging |
✅ Mostly done |
| Stage 2: Data + Capabilities (T-004, T-005, T-006, T-026) |
Repositories, capability query |
🔄 In progress |
| Stage 3+: Service, UI, Resilience |
Streaming service, Compose UI, ABR, thermal |
🔄 In progress |
| Phase 5: Overlays, H.265, SRT |
Multi-destination |
❌ Out of scope (MVP) |
Key T-035 QA test suite coverage indicates T-001 through several Stage 2/3 tasks are functionally complete.
🎯 Recommended Next Steps
-
🔍 Review & merge PR #5 — The energy-saving stream bug fix is ready for review. Verify it builds cleanly in CI and merge to unblock future UI work.
-
🗑️ Close PR #6 — The non-actionable draft has no code changes. Clean it up.
-
🔧 Unblock CI for builds — dl.google.com is blocked in the Copilot coding agent sandbox. Consider adding it to the Actions setup steps allowlist so Copilot can verify builds before submitting PRs.
-
🧩 Tackle high-risk path tasks — The next critical-path items are:
- T-009
ConnectionManager (reconnect logic with backoff)
- T-019
AbrPolicy / AbrLadder (ABR decision system)
- T-020
EncoderController (Mutex-serialized quality changes)
- T-021 Thermal monitoring & response
