The evidence this fixes: v2026.10.09 was published while master's manifest still
read 2026.10.08, so HACS compared every install against a version that never
moved and offered nobody that update. A second release in the same UTC day was
also a silent no-op: the date tag already existed, the run resolved to the same
version again, and it stopped at "already tagged".
* scripts/determine-release-version.sh owns the decision, so it is tested rather
than hoped for: the manifest version while it is untagged (bump it to force a
release); else today's UTC date; else YYYY.MM.DD.N with the LOWEST untagged
N >= 2 (a gap is reused, not burned). An already-released commit, and any
version whose tag exists, are an explicit RELEASE=no instead of a failure. The
script only ever reads the clock with `date -u`, and it emits
VERSION/TAG/SOURCE/BUMP/RELEASE on stdout and into $GITHUB_OUTPUT.
* the workflow writes the resolved version into the manifest whenever it differs,
commits it as "chore(release): v<VERSION> [skip ci]" with the existing bot
identity, pushes HEAD:master, and only then tags THAT commit — so the artifact,
its tag and the default branch agree. A branch-protection rejection fails the
job with an instruction to bump the manifest manually; nothing is tagged first.
* post-push verification reads the manifest out of origin/master (the copy HACS
fetches) and refuses to publish when it does not equal the released version.
* no self-trigger loop: the conventional [skip ci] marker on the bot commit plus a
job-level `if:` that re-checks github.event.head_commit.message. The guard is the
load-bearing part — it holds even where a Gitea version ignores the marker.
* preserved: manifest-wins precedence, the concurrency group without
cancel-in-progress, notes from the commit range, zip asset upload and the
409-tolerant publish path. RELEASE=no replaces the old `exists` output, so an
already-tagged version still ends as a clean no-op.
Also fixes the data: master's manifest moves 2026.10.08 -> 2026.10.09, the latest
released tag, so the repo stops contradicting its own releases immediately rather
than only after the next successful run (which resolves to v2026.10.11 either way).
tests/test_release_versioning.py drives all of it: the four scenarios, the
lowest-free-suffix rule, UTC determinism under three timezones, the error paths,
the $GITHUB_OUTPUT handoff, and the workflow's own contract — textual, because the
fast suite has no YAML parser; the verify command parses the file with pyyaml.
Verified: 356 passed / 2 skipped, 357 / 1 with androidtvremote2, ruff clean,
release.yml valid, `bash -n` clean, and the script resolves the real repo to
v2026.10.11 (date, bump=yes). The workflow itself cannot run here (no Gitea
runner): its run: steps were extracted from the YAML and executed against scratch
repos with a bare origin, covering the bump+verify+tag path (commit subject, tag
target and tag manifest all agree), the inconsistent-manifest failure and the
rejected-push failure.
The transports are ours now, so setup offers them ON rather than OFF: a fresh
form renders "Read state over ADB" and "Add the Nvidia Remote Protocol" checked,
with the Shield's address pre-filled by discovery (or typed by the user). The
schema default, the async_step_user fallback and the _create_entry fallback all
carry True, so the checkbox the user sees and the entry that gets written cannot
disagree — the t33 F-A lesson applied to the new defaults.
Still a choice, not a mandate:
* unchecking either toggle routes to the other transport's pairing step;
* each pairing step keeps its "continue without pairing" escape (the transport
stays off until paired), so a passive entry is still one click away;
* no_state_source now means exactly "neither transport enabled" — and a payload
that names neither is REJECTED rather than silently enabling both (fail
closed; a real submission always carries the schema defaults).
* the YAML seed keeps t32 F4's shape rule: an address turns ADB on, a
protocol-only block leaves it off, an explicit adb_enabled wins.
Verified: 323 passed / 2 skipped, 324 / 1 with androidtvremote2, ruff clean,
drift engine exit 0.
ENTRY_VERSION = 3, declared once in const.py and reused as the flow's VERSION so
the stored shape and the migration cannot drift.
v2 → v3 mirrors the two shape changes:
* the duplicated address fields collapse into CONF_HOST — the protocol host
wins, else the ADB host (both name the same Shield), reading options first and
data second so a hand-written seed is covered too;
* the androidtv-entity key is dropped from data AND options with a logged note
naming the dropped entity (the old value would only mislead now that nothing
reads it).
A v1 entry still travels the whole way in one call (the v1→v2 protocol defaults
are applied, then the v3 collapse). Downgrades (version > 3) are rejected so HA
can offer a rollback, and the current version is a no-op.
Existing entries carrying the entity key keep working until the migration runs:
nothing reads it anymore (the c1 commit), which is exactly why the migration can
be a plain removal.
Test note: my first version of the version-parity pin called a bare
entity_stublib.install() and leaked the shallow stub set into the entity-module
loader of later tests (STATE_PAUSED/entity_available import failures). It now
uses the file's scoped harness, like every other test there.
Verified: 316 passed / 2 skipped, 317 / 1 with androidtvremote2, ruff clean,
drift engine exit 0 on HEAD (36 call arguments — one more awaited/checked call).
The two address fields were the same Shield spelled twice, and every bug in the
zeroconf/IP-change path came from keeping them in sync. One field now:
* const.CONF_HOST replaces CONF_ADB_HOST / CONF_PROTOCOL_HOST in the setup form,
the options page, the pairing forms, the reconfigure/reauth seeding and the
description copy. ADB port 5555 stays the only port field;
* helpers.entry_host(entry) is the single resolver (options first, then data);
resolve_adb_config and the protocol settings both go through it, so both
transports read the same value at call time (the t32 F1 factory re-read keeps
working: the NEXT built poller sees the new address);
* helpers.seed_host / seed_adb_enabled own the YAML seed's shape rule. A block
may use `host` or the legacy protocol_host/adb_host keys — t41 keeps the old
spelling working — and t32 F4's outcome is unchanged: a protocol-only block
leaves ADB off, an address (or an explicit adb_enabled) turns it on;
* the zeroconf IP-change path collapses the t21-F2 per-host dance into one rule:
the discovery address IS the entry's address, so the entry is updated when it
differs and left alone when it matches. The blank-self-heal and
deliberately-different-ADB-host cases are gone with the duplication — a
second address field cannot express them anymore, and the tests now pin that
(previously "an explicit override is never clobbered");
* the options page exposes the protocol toggle it never had (the page could turn
ADB off but not the protocol);
* button.py (granted to this task) reads the entry's own address instead of
another integration's entity.
The v3 entry migration that maps existing adb_host/protocol_host onto CONF_HOST
and drops the androidtv key lands in the next commit; HA runs migrations before
setup, so an existing entry is never read with the old shape.
Verified: 311 passed / 2 skipped, 312 / 1 with androidtvremote2, ruff clean,
drift engine exit 0 on HEAD. The UI-copy contract tests (every rendered field
has a label in strings.json AND translations/en.json, key trees identical, host
errors name the field) drove the string edits.
The user ruling: this integration REPLACES both old integrations, so nothing may
depend on an androidtv/androidtv_remote entity anymore.
Removed:
* the setup-form field + its entity selector (CONF_ANDROIDTV_ENTITY is no longer
offered, only read by the migration that drops it);
* the entity-derived unique_id derivation (_unique_id_from_atv_device, t29 G2)
and, with it, every registry lookup for another integration's devices — the
user step now sets NO unique_id at all; the protocol MAC learned during
pairing is the identity;
* the Jellyfin auto-detect's second tier (the atv entity's friendly_name) — it
now uses the entry name the user typed or the device name from discovery;
* the app-name and app-id tiers (media_player.app_name/app_id + the shared
resolve_app_name chain, the Current App sensor, the sensor's state-change
listener and its `_androidtv_state` helper) — the manager's store is the only
source;
* the "transitional external entity" command tier in every path: `_cmd` and the
pan-media_player service call are gone, and so is the fallback in _media_cmd,
_remote_key_cmd, the §7 channel-digit sequence and the intent self-heal retry
(an intent no transport served now surrenders to the truth instead of
delegating);
* the entity-derived power signal (`_on_source_change`'s "device off clears the
intent" check no longer watches another integration's entity; the power
LADDER — protocol is_on → ADB wake → power switch — is unchanged).
turn_on/turn_off are native now: they send the protocol POWER key and, like the
remote entity, send nothing when the known state already matches (no superfluous
toggle). An ADB-only entry (protocol skipped) has no power write path — the
manager owns the socket and exposes no device-keyevent, which is what the old
delegation used to cover.
helpers.discover_adb_host — the one helper that derived a host from another
integration's config entry — is deleted; button.py (granted to this task) reads
the entry's own address fields instead of the entity, so the Pair ADB button
keeps working.
Present-day entries that still carry the key are unaffected (nothing reads it);
the v3 migration that drops it lands with the host unification.
Verified: 309 passed / 2 skipped, 310 / 1 with androidtvremote2, ruff clean,
drift engine exit 0 on HEAD (13 modules, 58 imports, 35 call arguments, 6
awaited HA calls) and 16 passed in the real-HA drift suite. The stub harness's
legacy service recorder became a watchdog: any HA service call from the media
player now fails the routing tests instead of being the expected outcome.
Reported from a live install: with ADB enabled but unreachable and a paired,
healthy protocol transport, the media player went unavailable even though the
protocol still served power/app/volume.
The old rule was ``manager.connected or manager.awake is not None or not
manager.available`` — i.e. "a configured ADB manager that is down ⇒ the whole
entity is down" (t5-F2), which ignored transport B entirely. The ladder is now:
* protocol transport wired and not reported unreachable — usable;
* or ADB connected — usable;
* or fresh wake data (the poller has spoken) — usable;
* or a passive manager (no ADB configured at all) — usable, because nothing to
transport is not a broken transport.
Unavailable only when a CONFIGURED transport is actively down and no usable data
exists. One implementation, ``entity_available`` (media_player.py), is used by the
media player, the remote (whose ladder previously duplicated a weaker version of
this rule) and the diagnostics payload.
Diagnostics grew ``transport.entity_available`` plus ``adb.configured`` so a
support dump answers "why is my entity unavailable?" — the ladder inputs and its
verdict are now in the same place.
Pinned by tests: the exact user case (ADB configured+down, protocol up ⇒
available), all-down (⇒ unavailable), wake-data rescue, connected ADB without a
protocol, the passive manager, a configured-but-down transport with no data, the
remote following the same ladder, and the diagnostics verdict.
Verified: 310 passed / 2 skipped, 311 passed / 1 skipped (androidtvremote2),
16 passed in the HA drift suite, ruff clean.
Reported from a live install: the sensor showed ``ar.tvplayer.tv`` while the
media player showed "TiviMate" — the same foreground app, two identities.
The sensor's ``native_value`` returned ``manager.foreground_app`` (the raw
package push) or ``running_apps[0]["package"]`` as-is, while the media player
resolved names through apps map → cached manifest label → androidtv entity tier.
Both now call ONE function, ``resolve_app_name`` (media_player.py), so the two
entities cannot disagree again; the sensor keeps the raw package as its
``app_id`` attribute and ``app_name`` carries the shown name.
Per the contract:
* apps map wins, then the cached manifest label, then the androidtv entity's
``app_name``, then the package text itself;
* a bare or unknown package falls back to the package text, NOT None (it used to
be possible for the value to vanish while the app was plainly running);
* pinned by tests: map tier, label tier, entity tier, the ADB-recents source, the
unknown-package fallback, and sensor == media player for the same inputs.
Verified: 302 passed / 2 skipped, ruff clean.
Reported from a live install: the entity never rendered, and every state write
raised ``TypeError: 'method' object is not iterable``.
Root cause, from HA's own code (homeassistant/helpers/entity.py,
``__async_calculate_state``):
if extra_state_attributes := self.extra_state_attributes:
attr |= extra_state_attributes
``attr`` is a dict, so ``|=`` needs a mapping — and this was declared as a plain
method while the sensors' were properties. Reproduced against the pre-fix tree
with real HA: instantiating the entity and calling ``async_write_ha_state()``
prints ``REPRODUCED TypeError: 'method' object is not iterable``; with the fix
the same call writes the state and the extra attributes through.
The stub suites could never see it: their harness replaces
``async_write_ha_state``, so the method was simply called and returned a dict.
tests/test_ha_api_drift.py now drives HA's real state calculation for every
entity, and the drift sweep grew an entity-contract pass (next commit).
`ConfigFlow._async_handle_discovery_without_unique_id` is an `async def` in core
(verified: `inspect.iscoroutinefunction` is True) and core awaits it. t32 called
it without `await`, so the coroutine body never ran: no `already_configured`
abort when the handler already had entries, no
`DEFAULT_DISCOVERY_UNIQUE_ID` claim, no `already_in_progress` abort — HA's
discovery dedup was dead, Python warned "coroutine ... was never awaited", and
the host-equality loop that used to sit here was the only accidental dedup.
The call is awaited and the now-unreachable host loop is gone (the real helper
is stricter: any entry for the domain, or any in-flight flow). The harness
mirrors the real contract instead of a sync no-op:
* `entity_stublib`'s hub stub makes the helper a coroutine (a sync stub would
turn the production `await` into a TypeError);
* `test_standalone_setup`'s stub models the real semantics — a coroutine raising
`DiscoveryDedupAbortError` (core raises AbortFlow), driven by the shared
holder's entry list and in-progress list — and its tests now assert all three
outcomes: awaited-and-proceeds (counter + claimed discovery unique id),
`already_configured` when entries exist, `already_in_progress` when another
flow runs. A fourth test collects the un-awaited-coroutine warning, and the
prefill test in the UX suite asserts the awaited counter.
Red proof: with the pre-fix config_flow.py the repo-owned sweep reports
`config_flow.py:425: missing-await: self._async_handle_discovery_without_unique_id()`.
Verified: 289 passed, 2 skipped (D3 stage); ruff clean.
`homeassistant.util.diagnostic` does not exist — verified against a real
install: `import homeassistant.util.diagnostic` raises ModuleNotFoundError, and
the helper has always lived in `homeassistant.helpers.redact`. The import sat
inside a `try/except ImportError` that set the helper to None, so the
documented G14 pass — the one carrying `_TO_REDACT`, hosts included — silently
did nothing; only the marker scan (pairing-/key-shaped names) masked anything,
which is why the existing test's pairing-code assertion stayed green.
The helper is now imported at MODULE scope from homeassistant.helpers.redact and
applied unconditionally after the marker-name pass. A missing module is a loud
import error at integration load instead of a silent downgrade.
* the diagnostics test now asserts `adb_host` and `protocol_host` really are
masked in the emitted payload (options and a nested data value);
* TestFaithfulHaStubs asserts the module USES the helper from that path
(`nsh.diagnostics.async_redact_data is homeassistant.helpers.redact.async_redact_data`),
that no production module imports the non-existent module (AST), and that the
try/except ImportError fallback is gone;
* `entity_stublib` gains a faithful `homeassistant.helpers.redact` stub (same
masking, same nested mapping/list recursion, same None/empty-string skip) so
the harness meets the import the way a real install does.
Verified: 287 passed, 2 skipped (D2 stage); ruff clean. Full gate re-run on the
completed branch: 289 passed / 2 skipped and 290 passed / 1 skipped.
`homeassistant.components.media_player` has not exported `BrowseMediaSource`
for years: the class lives in `homeassistant.components.media_source.models`,
where it exists to build `media_source://<domain>` ids and is the only place a
`domain` parameter belongs (t30 G18's note was about THAT class). The local
import therefore raised ImportError, and with it every real browse failed —
while the suite stayed green because the harness stubbed a `BrowseMediaSource`
that real HA does not expose from there.
`async_browse_media` now builds the standard tree exactly as core's own
androidtv_remote/media_player.py does: `BrowseMedia` imported from
homeassistant.components.media_player at module scope, every node carrying an
explicit media_content_id/media_content_type (MediaType.APP/APPS),
`children_media_class=MediaClass.APP` on the directory, and no `domain`.
Verified against a real install: the old import raises ImportError, the old
`domain=` kwarg raises TypeError, and the new node constructs.
The harness is now faithful so this cannot hide again:
* `entity_stublib` exposes a `BrowseMedia` with the real keyword-only
signature, `as_dict()` and `calculate_children_class()`, plus `MediaType`,
and deliberately NOT `BrowseMediaSource` — so both the drifted import and the
drifted kwarg fail in-suite;
* the app-directory test asserts the standard shape (classes, explicit ids and
types, children_media_class, the serialised payload) instead of the removed
`domain` attribute;
* TestFaithfulHaStubs pins the harness contract on the AST (no production
module imports BrowseMediaSource) rather than on prose.
Verified: 284 passed, 2 skipped (D1 stage); ruff clean. Full gate re-run on the
completed branch: 289 passed / 2 skipped and 290 passed / 1 skipped.
"Continue without protocol pairing" switched the transport off for good: the
options flow carries no protocol fields, so nothing in the UI could ever turn
it back on, and the skip copy promised nothing about it (t34 F1). The entry now
answers Home Assistant's Reconfigure action:
* async_step_reconfigure (audit G5) seeds the flow from the entry (title, adb
host/port/enabled, androidtv entity for the host fallback) and re-runs the
pairing step — the address is editable, the Shield shows a PIN, and
_finish_reconfigure persists protocol_enabled=True plus the address that just
paired (so the transport no longer depends on the ADB fallback), adopts the
paired MAC when it differs, and updates + reloads the entry. HA derives the
"reconfigure_successful" abort from the flow source. A Reconfigure visit that
clicks skip aborts honestly with "reconfigure_skipped" (entry untouched), and
an entry that is gone aborts with "reconfigure_entry_missing".
* the skip data_description now states the truth — the transport stays off
until you pair it — and names the later path (the integration's entry menu >
Reconfigure).
* a host corrected on the pairing form now DROPS the session started against the
old address and restarts pairing there, so the typed address is authoritative
instead of being paired against the stale one.
* the success path no longer runs _abort_if_unique_id_configured for a flow
that already owns an entry: core looks the domain up by unique_id, so
re-pairing an entry aborted on itself as "already_configured" (this also
unblocked reauth). The fresh-setup path is unchanged.
* adjacent fix while wiring the same call: _finish_reauth passed
`options_updates`, which core's async_update_reload_and_abort does not accept
(the kwarg is `options`, REPLACE) — the reauth path would have raised
TypeError in production. Both paths now pass `options` and the test stubs
mirror the real signature.
Tests: tests/test_config_flow_ux.py::TestProtocolReconfigure drives reconfigure
from a protocol-disabled entry through to updated options (transport on, host
persisted, other options kept, MAC adopted, reload recorded), a corrected host
reopening the PIN step against the new address, the skip abort, and the
missing-entry abort; TestCopyContract gained the F1b copy pin. Against HEAD's
config_flow.py all four reconfigure tests fail (no async_step_reconfigure).

Every user/pairing-step label and data_description rewritten in plain language,
and the fields the new pairing forms render now have labels at all (adb_host,
adb_port, skip_pairing, protocol_host, pairing_code).
No error string sends the user to "the previous step" any more: adb_no_host and
protocol_no_host name the field on the same form AND say a discovered Shield is
pre-filled automatically. The confirmation messages for both pairing steps
describe what the form actually does (including the restart-on-empty-submit
path), and protocol_unavailable covers a missing androidtvremote2.
The options-flow copy was audited in the same pass so it matches the setup
step's vocabulary ("Read state over ADB", "Show title and artist", ...), and
translations/en.json stays byte-identical to strings.json.

protocol_pair and adb_pair now each offer "continue without pairing" (the new
CONF_SKIP_PAIRING form key), so the entry still finishes — in passive mode —
instead of stranding the user on a form with no way forward.
adb_pair: the ADB host/port live ON this form (the user step is gone), a host
typed here is authoritative, the addr the error names is therefore fixable
where the error appears, and skip routes through _async_after_pairing. ADB
stays enabled on purpose: the manager already degrades to its passive,
background-retrying state without a key, and the Pair ADB button (registered
for adb-enabled entries) then pairs later without re-adding the integration.
protocol_pair: the protocol host lives on this form too and a corrected
address restarts the pairing session against it; submitting without a code asks
the Shield for a fresh code (_async_restart_protocol_pairing) instead of
erroring; skip switches the transport off, because an unpaired protocol client
fails auth on its first connect and would only bounce the user into the reauth
flow — a fresh dead end. On reauth the skip aborts with reauth_skipped instead
of faking a repair.
_start_protocol_pairing also returns None now when build_protocol_client does
(androidtvremote2 missing) so the step reports protocol_unavailable instead of
crashing on a None client in the default CI variant.

F-A (HIGH): _user_schema_dict re-declared vol.Optional(CONF_ADB_HOST) /
CONF_PROTOCOL_HOST inside `if "host" in defaults:` — a no-op, because
voluptuous keys compare by field name and the first (defaultless) key object
survives. The discovered address therefore never reached the form, and the
user submitted a blank host. The host keys are now declared WITH default=host
(_host_field_key), so a discovery-driven user step arrives pre-filled.
F-A2: a discovery-driven user step says the address is known
("{discovery_note}Discovered Shield at <host> — its address is already filled
in below. ") through description_placeholders, and the no_state_source
re-render keeps the prefill instead of rebuilding a blank schema.
F-D: the ADB port is declared with default=DEFAULT_ADB_PORT (5555), and a YAML
seed's port hint is carried into the form instead of being flattened to 5555.
The seed host now feeds _seed_host (same prefill, no discovery claim).
Reproduce-through-test: tests/voluptuous_mirror.py mirrors the real
voluptuous.Marker key contract (hash/eq by field name, default=UNDEFINED when
omitted), because voluptuous is not installed in either CI variant and the old
bare-key stubs could not tell a schema WITH a default from one without. The
pre-t33 discovery assertion only checked the stored attribute and stayed green
while the form rendered blank; it now reads the schema keys and fails on the
pre-fix code (8 tests reproduced red locally).
