App 2.42.0: music-sources check on the Logs tab

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.

+name: car-logs
+description: Download the signal recordings the MG4 sent to the car server (fetch-logs) and read them. Use when the owner says a recording is on the server, asks to get, download or look at the car's logs or recordings, or after a test drive with the signal recorder.
+---
+
+# Fetch and read the car's recordings
+
+The app's signal recorder (Logs tab, `SignalRecorder`) sends each finished recording to the
+car server (`LogOutbox`, `PUT /v1/logs/{name}`); the server keeps the newest 200
+(`server/logs.go`). `fetch-logs` in the dev shell downloads the ones not yet in `logs/`.
+
+## Fetch
+
+```sh
+nix develop -c fetch-logs
+```
+
+It prints each new file (`logs/signal-recording-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.txt`) and `fetch-logs: N new`.
+The token comes from `~/.config/nilsmg4/logs-token` (the server's `LOGS_TOKEN`) and goes only in
+a header.
+
+- **Never print, cat or echo the token**, and never pass it on a command line you show. Do not
+  read the token file.
+- `no token`: ask the owner to put the server's `LOGS_TOKEN` in `~/.config/nilsmg4/logs-token`
+  (and in `k8s/secrets/secrets.yaml`, then apply it). Do not create or fill it yourself.
+- HTTP 401: the file and the server's Secret differ. HTTP 404: reading is off (no
+  `LOGS_TOKEN` on the server) or the server is older than 2.9.0. The owner applies manifests and
+  Secrets; never run `kubectl` against the cluster, not even read-only.
+- `0 new`: nothing arrived. In the car, the Logs tab says "Sent to the server." or how many wait
+  and why (no server set up, server not reached, an HTTP status); the car retries every 2
+  minutes while the service runs.
+
+## Read
+
+The files are plain text but `file` may call them data; search with `rg -a`. Newest first:
+`ls -t logs/`. If the owner said what they did and when (e.g. "ACC on at 08:50, set speed
+100→90 at 08:51"), line those times up with the timeline.
+
+A recording has four parts, in this order:
+
+1. Header: captures, start time, app version.
+2. **Steering-wheel keys and notes.** The first note says whether listening worked:
+   `listening to N assistance properties (M refused)`, or `not possible (<reason>)`.
+3. **Assistance properties heard** (`EVHardware.listenToProperties` on `AssistBlock`, the
+   `0x21x0A1xx` block): change events, properties whose value changed first. This is where a
+   value shows up that the head unit fills only while someone listens.
+4. **Changed values (polled)**, rarest first, then **Everything, in order**: every capture
+   (about every 5 s) with what changed since the last.
+
+Useful cuts:
+
+```sh
+rg -a 'listening to' logs/<file>                                   # did listening work
+awk '/^Assistance properties heard/,/^$/' logs/<file>              # what listening heard
+rg -a 'A15B|A15A' logs/<file>                                      # one property's history
+rg -a 'getLatestSpeed' logs/<file> | head                          # the car's speed over time
+```
+
+Known leads (SPECS.md, 2026-10-27): `0x2160A15B` is `AAD_EPTCCTRGTSPD`, by its name the cruise
+control's target speed (0.0 when only polled); `0x2140A15A` moved between 3 and 7;
+`0x2160A1A3`/`0x2160A1A4` counted up by 0.1. A value that tracks what the owner did at the
+times they name is a lead; say how sure it is, and that it is not confirmed until a second
+drive shows the same.
+
+## Music-sources checks
+
+`fetch-logs` also brings `media-probe-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.txt` (Logs tab, "Check music sources",
+`MediaProbe`). Three parts: audio players (use, app, state), active media sessions, and every
+media browser service with `connected` / `refused or failed` / `no answer`, then its state and
+song (TITLE, ARTIST, ALBUM, ALBUM_ART as a size). CarPlay's is
+`com.allgo.remoteui.mediabrowserservice/...RemoteUIMediaBrowserService`. Ask what was playing
+when the check ran.
+
+## Rules
+
+- Recordings and checks are the car's data: `logs/`, `/signal-recording-*.txt` and
+  `/media-probe-*.txt` are gitignored. Never
+  commit, publish or upload them anywhere.
+- Findings that change what the project knows go into a `SPECS.md` done-log entry, as usual.

+  media sessions (`MediaSessionManager.getActiveSessions`, MEDIA_CONTENT_CONTROL, which the system

+  a recording goes, through the shared `SignalRecorder.saveCopies`: the app, a USB stick, the
+  server (`fetch-logs`). Unit tests for the text; tests and lint pass. Emulator (Android 9): the
+  players are read with their app and state (the system APIs answer the system user), the
+  sessions are readable (none there, no SecurityException), the AOSP music app's browser service
+  connects and is read, CarPlay's (not installed there) is "refused or failed", and the report
+  lands in the outbox. **Not tried on the car.** Unknown until then: whether CarPlay's service

+- 2026-10-27 — App 2.41.0, server 2.9.0: **recordings reach the server** (owner: "can we make
+  it so that we can upload the logs to an endpoint in the server, and you can get the logs from
+  there? that way i don't have to carry a usb stick"). A finished signal recording goes to
+  `files/log-outbox` (`LogOutbox`, at most 10 waiting) and is sent at once, gzipped, with the car's
+  token: `PUT /v1/logs/{name}`. Offline, 401 (not paired yet), 404 (a server without logs), 408,
+  429 or 5xx keep it, and the service's tick sends it again, at most every 2 minutes; any other
+  refusal drops it. The Logs tab says "Sent to the server." or how many wait and why. Server
+  (`logs.go`): `LOGS_DIR` on a new 1Gi volume `mg4-server-logs`, the newest 200 files and none
+  older than 180 days, names as the app's only, up to 2 MB sent and 8 MB unpacked, UTF-8 only; the
+  same name replaces itself. Reading (`GET /v1/logs`, `GET /v1/logs/{name}`) takes `LOGS_TOKEN`, a
+  new optional Secret value that must differ from `INGEST_TOKEN`; the car's token cannot read, the
+  read token cannot write. `fetch-logs` in the dev shell fetches the new ones into `logs/`
+  (gitignored, as are the recordings copied into the checkout's top folder), token from
+  `~/.config/nilsmg4/logs-token`. Tested: server unit tests (both tokens, refusals, pruning,
+  config); the real server code in a harness on this machine took the 08:52 recording gzipped as
+  the app sends it (204), refused the car's token for reading (401), and `fetch-logs` brought it
+  back byte for byte, once. The app's own sending could not be pointed at that harness (the app
+  takes https only); on the emulator the recording lands in the outbox and the Logs tab says it
+  waits. Not tried on the car.
+- 2026-10-27 — App 2.40.4 published (`car-2.40.4`).
+- 2026-10-27 — App 2.40.4: **the recorder's listening works on Android 9**. Both recordings
+  from the car (08:49 and 08:52, 2.40.3) said "listening to the assistance properties: not
+  possible": `listenToProperties` looked only for `registerCallback`, Android 10's name; the car's
+  car library (Android 9) has `registerListener(CarPropertyEventListener, int, float)` and
+  `unregisterListener`, as the app's `CarPropertyAdapter` already knew. It now takes either, and
+  unsubscribes property by property (Android 9's one-argument `unregisterListener` removes
+  entries from the list it walks and would leave every other property subscribed). A failure now
+  says why (`EVHardware.listenProblem`: no car service, no way to subscribe, or the exception).
+  Tested with a stand-in manager of Android 9's shape (`PropertyListeningTest`). Correction to
+  2.40.3: the ignition listener it was compared with also looks only for `registerCallback`, so
+  it most likely never subscribes on the car either (it reads the state once at start); left as
+  it is. What the polled part of the two recordings shows of the block: `0x2160A15B` (by name
+  the target speed) 0.0 throughout; `0x2140A15A` between 3 and 7 every few captures;
+  `0x2160A1A3`/`0x2160A1A4` counting up by 0.1; speeds 8–33 km/h. Not tried on the car.
+- 2026-10-27 — App 2.40.3 published (`car-2.40.3`; also carries 2.40.1 and 2.40.2).
+- 2026-10-27 — App 2.40.3: **the signal recorder listens** (owner: "is there really nothing we
+  can do about the readout of the cruise control set point"). The 2.32.0 recording only polled.
+  The head unit's `CarAdvancedAssistedDrivingManager` never polls its 108 `AAD_*` properties: it
+  registers a listener for each (`registerListener(…, 0.0f)`, on change), and a vendor HAL may
+  fill a value from the car network only while someone listens — which would read as the
+  defaults we saw. EVHardware gains `listenToProperties` (read only: the CarPropertyManager's
+  `registerCallback` per admitted property, rate 0 for ON_CHANGE, 1 Hz within limits for
+  CONTINUOUS, one proxy, `unregisterCallback` on close) and `AssistBlock` (global vendor
+  properties `0x21x0A1xx`, which holds all 108 `AAD_*` ids; tested). The recorder subscribes to
+  that block for its 3 minutes; `SignalRecording.event` counts every event and puts value changes
+  on the timeline; the file and the Logs tab list the properties heard, those with changing
+  values first ("heard …"). Emulator (no car service): the recorder notes that listening is not
+  possible, records, saves the new section; no crash. The subscription itself is the same
+  reflection as the ignition listener that works on the car, but untried on the car.
+- 2026-10-27 — App 2.40.2: **the map moves on the GPU** (owner: "is the map screen gpu
+  accelerated? it looks a bit slow on update"). It was hardware-rendered, but every frame (20 a
+  second) recomputed every road point on the main thread, rebuilt all paths, and drew the big
+  roads three times for the glow; and the car jumped with each GPS fix (1 Hz). Now the map is
+  its own view under the Grid (`MapLayerView`, `LAYER_TYPE_HARDWARE`): drawn once into a GPU
+  texture round an anchor and only redrawn when tiles come or go or the car is ~280 layout units
+  (≈230 m) from the anchor; each display frame (`postOnAnimation`, only while that style is on
+  screen and the map shows) sets its translation, pivot and rotation, which the GPU composites.
+  The car glides towards each fix (eased, snaps beyond 200 m), the heading eases; GridView over
+  the map no longer animates itself (only the readings redraw it), the "far roads fainter" sort
+  is a fixed dark gradient towards the top. Layer size on the car about 2500 px square (~25 MB).
+  Measured on the emulator: with SwiftShader (software GPU) old and new both ~57 ms a frame, and
+  with the host's Intel GPU (`-gpu host`) both run at the display rate (~18 ms) — the emulator
+  is too fast to show the car's slowness, so the gain on the head unit is reasoned, not
+  measured. Not tried on the car.
+- 2026-10-27 — App 2.40.1: **an update that downloaded but never reached the installer** (owner:
+  "sometimes … downloads the update but then doesn't start the installer"). The car refuses the
+  installer session ("Not allowed to install non-system apps on internal storage"); only a
+  refusal thrown at once led to the installer screen. A refusal that came back through the
+  session's result was a toast and nothing else. Now any answer but success, the confirmation and
+  the driver's own cancel opens the installer screen with the verified APK (path and session id
+  ride on the result intent; `goAsync` for the copy), a confirmation that cannot be shown does
+  too, and a session silent for 20 s is abandoned for it. Emulator, with a throwaway build whose
+  session bytes were damaged (refused later, status 4 `INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NOT_APK`) and which
+  read the update from Downloads: the installer screen opened by itself, Install, now 2.40.1; the
+  update log shows every step. The 20 s watch is untested (no way to make a session stay silent).

+(again later when it is offline) with its own token: `PUT /v1/logs/{name}`, plain UTF-8 text,
+gzipped (`Content-Encoding: gzip`) or not; at most 2 MB as sent and 8 MB unpacked. The name is
