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.

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.
The F1 blocker was invisible to every existing test: the stub harnesses call the
entity and replace ``async_write_ha_state``, so a non-property
``extra_state_attributes`` looked perfectly healthy. Two new gates close that
hole.
1. ``ha_api_drift.scan_entity_contracts()`` — a pure-AST pass (so it needs no
homeassistant, unlike passes 1-3) that walks every class inheriting from an
HA entity base, including our own intermediate ``NvidiaShieldSensorBase``, and
flags any HA-READ attribute (``extra_state_attributes``, ``available``,
``state``, ``native_value``, ``media_*``, …) declared as a plain method
instead of ``@property``. It is wired into ``scan()`` before the
homeassistant gate and exported for the fast suite, so ONE implementation
backs the sweep, the CLI red proof and tests/test_entity_contract.py (the t39
F1 lesson).
Red proof on the pre-fix tree:
media_player.py:828: entity-attribute-is-a-method:
NvidiaShieldMediaPlayer.extra_state_attributes is a plain method, but HA
reads it as an attribute (``attr |= self.<name>``) — declare it @property
…and HEAD is clean (13 modules, 60 imports, 35 call arguments, 7 awaited).
2. tests/test_ha_api_drift.py now builds each entity under REAL homeassistant
(real ``PlatformData``, real ``async_write_ha_state``) and asserts HA's own
``__async_calculate_state`` succeeds and that the media player's app_id/
app_name survive the merge — for the media player, both sensors, the remote
and the pairing button. A coverage test compares that matrix against the
sweep's classification, so a new entity class cannot quietly skip it.
Verified: 296 passed / 2 skipped (fast suite), 16 passed (drift suite under
Python 3.14 + homeassistant 2026.10.1), ruff clean; the entity-contract red
proof above reproduces exactly the reported line.
t37 made MAC-less zeroconf discovery honour Home Assistant's own
`_async_handle_discovery_without_unique_id` contract — the helper is a coroutine
and its dedup (abort `already_configured` when ANY entry exists for this domain,
abort `already_in_progress` when another flow runs) only happens when it is
awaited. That is stricter than the accidental host-equality guard it replaced,
so it changes what a user can expect:
* with a MAC, discovery still aborts duplicates and updates a moved device's
hosts;
* without a MAC, a second (or third) Shield must be added MANUALLY — discovery
will abort as "already configured".
Someone with two Shields would otherwise read that abort as a bug. The README
now has a "Discovery (zeroconf)" section under Configuration stating the rule and
the manual route, and the drift sweep's docstring carries the same note next to
the D3 entry, so the decision is discoverable from wherever you meet it.
Verified: 289 passed, 2 skipped; ruff clean.
t38 found two holes in the drift gate itself.
F2 — the job could never run where it mattered. Home Assistant 2026.10.1
declares ``Requires-Python >=3.14.2`` (PyPI metadata), so the old guard let a
3.13 runner through and the ``homeassistant>=2026.10`` install then failed with
a resolver error. The job now provisions its own interpreter
(``actions/setup-python@v5`` with ``python-version: "3.14"``) and the guard runs
against the REAL floor, read from ``ha_api_drift.HOMEASSISTANT_PYTHON_FLOOR`` —
one source of truth, pinned by a test against the installed distribution's own
``Requires-Python`` metadata. Verified: on 3.13.16 the guard refuses with
"Home Assistant needs Python >= 3.14.2, but this job runs 3.13.16 / Fix: raise
actions/setup-python…"; on 3.14.8 it reports "interpreter ok"; and
``uvx --python 3.14 --with 'homeassistant>=2026.10'`` resolves 2026.10.1.
F1 — the standalone entry point was a false green. It printed counters and
exited 0 even when it had walked nothing, which is exactly how the manual
red-proof tool gets misused. The non-vacuity floors now live in
``ha_api_drift.FLOORS`` and are enforced in ONE place, ``Report.floor_violations()``,
used by the pytest wrapper and by ``__main__`` (so the constants cannot drift
apart; a test asserts the wrapper holds no floor-like constants of its own).
On top of that the sweep can no longer lie in either direction:
* an empty or mis-targeted directory reports ``FLOOR:`` lines and
``drift sweep FAILED`` and exits 1 (a non-existent path is a ``bad-path``
finding, not a traceback and not a silent zero-module sweep);
* with no homeassistant installed it returns a single ``no-homeassistant``
finding with zero counters — never a wall of phantom "broken-import"s, never
a green exit.
Verified in the CI-equivalent environment (Python 3.14.8 + homeassistant
2026.10.1): HEAD exits 0 with "no Home-Assistant API drift (13 modules, 60
imports, 35 call arguments, 7 awaited HA calls)"; the empty directory exits 1
with 4 FLOOR lines and no findings; a missing path exits 1 with the ``bad-path``
finding; and the full pre-fix tree (``git archive 5ede4fe``) exits 1 with
exactly the three t36 drifts (media_player.py:965 BrowseMediaSource,
diagnostics.py:93 homeassistant.util.diagnostic, config_flow.py:425
missing-await) and 0 floor violations.
The fast ``test`` job and ``release.yml`` are untouched; the workflow is
unchanged in shape except the new provisioning + guard steps, and parses as
valid YAML.
The unit suite validates production modules against hand-written stubs, so a
call site that no longer matches real Home Assistant stays green — that is how
D1, D2 and D3 reached master. This adds the check that would have caught them.
`tests/ha_api_drift.py` (stdlib-only, documented inline) parses every module of
custom_components/nvidia_shield and resolves each Home-Assistant dependency
against an INSTALLED homeassistant:
1. every `homeassistant.*` import — module present, attribute present (or a
submodule of that name exists, which is what `from package import submodule`
means) — catches D1/D2 and any future move;
2. every keyword argument passed to a known HA API (HA_CALL_OWNERS: the
ConfigFlow/ConfigEntries APIs we call) must exist in the real signature —
catches the `options_updates` class of bug;
3. every `self.<method>()` call in a class that inherits from an HA class is
compared with the real definition: a coroutine must be awaited and an
awaited call must be a coroutine — catches D3.
`tests/test_ha_api_drift.py` runs it against the production tree, asserts the
sweep is not vacuous (module/import/argument/await counters), and pins the red
proof with the four pre-fix forms, plus the green proof for the fixed forms. It
skips cleanly when homeassistant is absent, so the stdlib-only jobs are
unaffected.
`.gitea/workflows/test.yml` gains the `ha-api-drift` job — the one place Home
Assistant is installed — guarded by an explicit Python >= 3.13 check (Home
Assistant 2026.x requires it) and the same PEP 668 retry the test job uses.
Red proof against the real pre-fix revisions (svn-style checkout of
`git show HEAD:…` into a temp dir, and the pre-t35 config_flow.py for the kwarg):
media_player.py:965: broken-import: from homeassistant.components.media_player

diagnostics.py:93: broken-import: from homeassistant.util.diagnostic import
async_redact_data: module 'homeassistant.util.diagnostic' is not importable

pytest-asyncio pytest tests/test_ha_api_drift.py -q` → 4 passed (the bare form of
that command needs the pin here only because this sandbox's default Python is
3.15 and pycares has no wheel for it / no CMake to build it; CI pins the
interpreter explicitly).
`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

`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.

The F1 test asserted the updated options; this closes the loop on the user
outcome — after the Reconfigure pairing, __init__._build_protocol_settings
returns settings (transport ON) pointing at the paired certificate under
.storage/nvidia_shield/ and at the address that just paired. That is why no
__init__.py change was needed: the reloaded entry already rebuilds the
transport from the persisted options + shared cert paths.

"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).

real voluptuous 0.16.0 implements ``Marker.__eq__`` as ``self.schema ==
other`` — a field-name comparison with no class check, so
``Optional("x") == Required("x")`` is True (verified against the library
source, not just the audit note). The mirror compared class + field, which
kept two dict entries for one field: a ``Required(field, default=...)`` after
``Optional(field)`` LOOKED like it applied the default, while real voluptuous
keeps the first (defaultless) key object and silently drops it — the exact
t33 F-A failure mode the mirror exists to catch, i.e. the harness could mask
the bug it was built to see.
``Marker.__eq__`` is now the library's comparison and the contract tests gained
both pins: field-only equality (with equal hashes) and the mixed-marker
re-declaration that used to be masked. Reverting only ``__eq__`` makes those
two fail, which is the red proof recorded for t35.

One home for the user-reported regressions, all driven end to end against the
scoped stub harness:
- TestVoluptuousMirrorContract pins tests/voluptuous_mirror.py itself (a
default on the declaration is visible; a later re-declaration cannot add one)
so the harness cannot silently go blind again.
- TestDiscoveryPrefill: the discovered address is the default of BOTH host
keys, the port default is 5555, the step announces "Discovered Shield at
<host>", a manual/seed flow claims no discovery, and the error re-render
keeps the prefill. Reads the rendered schema, not the stored attribute.
- TestNoDeadEndPairing: skip protocol → entry created (passive), skip ADB →
entry created (ADB intent kept for the Pair ADB button) with the real
async_setup_entry accepting both entries (no ConfigEntryNotReady), skip ADB
routes on to the protocol step, both normal pair paths still create the
entry, a host typed on a pairing form is accepted in place, and a missing
androidtvremote2 reports protocol_unavailable instead of raising.
- TestCopyContract: no copy points at "the previous step", the no_host errors
name the field and the discovery prefill, every error/abort key raised by
config_flow.py exists in both copy files, and every field rendered by the
user/adb_pair/protocol_pair/options forms has a label.
- TestStringsTranslationsParity: strings.json and translations/en.json expose
the same key tree.

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).
