A tree with a bauble for the speed, fairy lights for the power, a mug of
cocoa for the battery, a wreath clock and candy canes for the range. Its
lights flare on the beat with the music light, now "Light follows the
music" for Halloween and Christmas. A sleigh or an angel tows the song.

A strip of papel picado with the song waves across the sky, towed by a
monarch butterfly and, on the next pass, an alebrije. One flag colour per
song. The banner moved into the shared SongBanner; Halloween is unchanged.

NowPlayingWatcher follows the head unit's media sessions (listening
only, never connecting to a player); NowPlaying picks what plays and
cleans the text. Tiles shows source, title, artist, cover and progress
under the battery; Halloween carves title and artist into the hill.
Settings: "Show what's playing", on by default. Nothing is logged or
sent.

MusicPulse reads 40-120 Hz and lights only on jumps of the bass, so
held notes and bass lines stay dark. Settings gets "Pumpkin light
follows the music" (Halloween only, off by default); off, the audio
analyser never starts.

Each check writes down the networks Android sees, the server's name lookup,
how a failure happened and how many reports wait, and on a failure whether
the internet answers at all, to tell a SIM without data from a server that is
down. The report goes to a USB stick and, once online, the server. No address
or token is written. Tried on the emulator. Not tried on the car.

The bass from Android's audio analyser drives the glow and brightens the
carving on the beat, only while the style is on screen. Yellow and green and
the embers keep their meaning; without a signal, as with the radio, the light
stays as it was. Levels only. Tried on the emulator. Not tried on the car.

One tap listens for 10 seconds with Android's audio analyser on the output
mix and reports the levels, to learn whether it hears Bluetooth, CarPlay and
radio before the Halloween pumpkin's light follows the music. Levels only, no
sound kept, no microphone. Heard a test tone on the emulator. Not tried on
the car.

Día de Muertos is an ofrenda: papel picado for the battery, a calavera
with the speed in a ring of marigolds for the power, candles for the
range, a path of petals for the last two minutes of power. Halloween is
a graveyard hill: a jack-o'-lantern with the speed in its grin, embers
for the power, a potion flask for the battery, a tombstone and bats for
the range. Each has its own palette; Tally counts what a value lights.

In the car, 2.42.0's check stopped the Bluetooth music and raised a
media-access prompt: binding every media browser service started the
car radio and the Local Media Player. The services are now only listed;
the active media sessions already carry the song of Bluetooth and
CarPlay without any connection.

Before a now-playing display, find where the head unit tells what is
playing, read only: the players Android reports, the active media
sessions, and every media browser service with its song, CarPlay's
(com.allgo.remoteui.mediabrowserservice) among them. The report is saved
and sent like a signal recording (shared SignalRecorder.saveCopies).
Also the findings of the first two recordings from the server.

A finished signal recording goes to an outbox and is sent gzipped with
the car's token (PUT /v1/logs/{name}); the service retries every 2
minutes while the car is offline. The server keeps the newest 200 on a
new volume (LOGS_DIR); reading takes a token of its own (LOGS_TOKEN).
fetch-logs in the dev shell fetches new ones into logs/.

listenToProperties looked only for registerCallback (Android 10); the
car's car library has registerListener/unregisterListener. Take either,
unsubscribe property by property, and say why when it fails.

The ACC recording of 2.32.0 only polled, and the AAD_* properties read
their defaults. The head unit's own assistance manager never polls them:
it subscribes to each for change events, and a vendor HAL may fill a
value only while someone listens. EVHardware gains a read-only
listenToProperties and AssistBlock (global vendor properties 0x21x0A1xx,
all 108 AAD_* ids); the recorder subscribes to that block for its three
minutes and lists the properties heard, those with changing values first.

The map was hardware-rendered, but every frame recomputed every road
point, rebuilt every path and drew the big roads three times, at 20
frames a second, and the car jumped with each GPS fix. Now it is its own
view under the Grid (MapLayerView, a hardware layer): drawn once into a
GPU texture and only redrawn when tiles change or after about 230 m;
each display frame only sets its translation and rotation. The car
glides between fixes, and the Grid over the map redraws only with the
readings.

The car refuses the installer session, and only a refusal thrown at
once opened the installer screen; one that came back through the
session's result ended in a toast, so the update downloaded and then
nothing seemed to happen. Now any result but success or the driver's
cancel opens the installer screen with the verified APK, as does a
confirmation that cannot be shown, and a session silent for 20 s is
abandoned for it.

The map fills the whole screen, top-down and heading up, about 400 m
ahead and 450 m to each side, over a ground grid that turns with it.
The speed moves to a panel under the gears; the battery wall, the
clock, the gears and the disc stand on dark panels over the map.

The map gets its own camera, tilted 45 degrees down from about 300 m up,
so roads keep their shape some 400 m ahead instead of collapsing into
the horizon. In map mode the floor starts at half height, the speed is a
little smaller, the floor's grid is fixed to the ground and turns with
the roads, and the power disc has a dark backing.

The public Overpass answered 429/502 and needs ~40 s a tile while the
car gives up after 8 s, so the server cancelled its queries and the
car's retries added load. Now the server fetches only the tiles a car
asks for, as OpenStreetMap vector tiles from OpenFreeMap (MAP_TILES_URL),
decodes the transportation layer with a small reader of its own, and
keeps each tile 30 days on a volume (MAP_CACHE_DIR). A fetch finishes
even after the car has stopped waiting; the car hears 503 with
Retry-After and gets the tile on its next try.
App: OpenFreeMap/OpenMapTiles attribution on the map, retry after 15 s.

A new Overview style: the Grid over the roads round the car from
OpenStreetMap, drawn in the floor's perspective, heading up, the bigger
roads glowing brighter, the car as a chevron.
Server: POST /v1/map/roads {z:14,x,y} fetches a tile's drivable roads
from Overpass (OVERPASS_URL; one request at a time, at least a second
apart), simplifies them to tile-local points in four classes, caches
them for 30 days and never logs the tile.
App: MapRoads keeps the 3x3 tiles round the car from its own cache or
the server; GPS only while the style is shown; bearing from the GPS or
from successive positions. Without GPS, server or roads the plain floor
says why. OSM attribution on screen and in LICENSE.md.
