fix(wear): start the watch at the phone's place on hand-back and give Settings a menu - #1262
Taking an episode back from the phone now starts the watch where the phone is, every time.
The watch's Settings opens with a short menu (Account, Your shows layout, Storage limit), each row showing what is set, and each setting has a page of its own.
Motivation
On a device, the watch still started behind the phone after a hand-back, by seconds or by minutes, and then sent that older place back to the phone.
The account rows sat at the bottom of one long Settings list, below every layout and storage choice, where they were easy to miss. Signing in is the setting that matters most.
What changed
WatchLibraryState.merged: when the watch holds one episode under boxlore's own ID and under the older ID the phone still uses, the copy under the own ID wins. Its download and its place live there; before, the phone's ID found the other copy and the two were treated as different episodes.
LiveWatchPlayback.play: a player that stands still no longer saves its place before starting the same episode again (PlaybackRules.savesPlaceBeforeStart). It saved that place when it stopped, and saving again put it over the newer one the phone had just handed over.
SettingsScreen is the menu; AccountSettingsScreen, ShowsLayoutSettingsScreen and StorageLimitSettingsScreen are the pages, on the routes settings_account, settings_shows_layout and settings_storage_limit. The Account row is first, shows who is signed in, and is drawn as the filled button until the watch is signed in.
Behavior & compatibility
Nothing stored changes shape. A second copy of an episode that a watch already holds is left in place and no longer used.
Watch only: round and square watch screens use the same lists; no phone, tablet or foldable screen changes.
Release copy
Changed
The watch's Settings is a menu with one page per setting (SettingsPage, WatchRoutes.forSettingsPage).
Fixed
WatchLibraryState.merged prefers the copy under the episode's own ID over one saved under the phone's older ID for the same audio.
LiveWatchPlayback.play keeps a newer saved place when the still player holds the same episode (PlaybackRules.savesPlaceBeforeStart).
Test plan
JVM: :wear unit tests with new cases in WatchLibraryStateTest, LinkedWatchPlaybackTest, PlaybackRulesTest and SettingsCopyTest; detekt; ktlint and lint on :wear.
Phone with a virtual round watch: Play on watch after Resume lands at the phone's place; three watch to phone to watch round trips each move forward; Resume on a closed watch app while the phone plays asks where to play; Remove from watch on the phone (cancel, remove, send again).
Virtual round watch: the Settings menu and its three pages, signed in.
Not seen on a device: the Account row while signed out; a square watch screen.
…ode back
The watch could hold one episode under boxlore's own ID and under the phone's older ID, and took the phone's episode for another one. A still player also saved its old place over the newer one just before starting. Both made the watch start behind the phone.
Settings now use an account-first menu with separate pages for account details, shows layout, and storage limit. Each page displays the current selection and can be opened directly.
The account page shows the account name when available, or indicates when no one is signed in.
Bug Fixes
Episode merging better preserves the watch’s saved copy, including its download status and playback position, when copies share the same audio.
Playback avoids unnecessarily saving progress when restarting the same stopped episode.
Progress is saved when seeking while playback is paused.
The change updates same-audio episode matching and playback progress saving. It also replaces the combined watch settings screen with separate Account, Shows Layout, and Storage Limit pages and routes.
When an incoming episode lacks a recipe ID, merging now prefers a saved same-audio episode with a Boxlore recipe ID. Tests cover preserving saved download and playback state and retaining an older ID when no recipe-ID copy exists.
Playback progress rules and saving wear/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/wear/playback/PlaybackRules.kt, wear/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/wear/playback/LiveWatchPlayback.kt, wear/src/test/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/wear/playback/PlaybackRulesTest.kt, wear/src/test/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/wear/link/LinkedWatchPlaybackTest.kt
Playback saves progress before starting an episode when playback is active or the requested episode differs from the loaded episode. It also saves progress after a seek when playback is paused. Tests cover these rules and linked playback with distinct watch and phone IDs.
The settings list displays Account, Shows Layout, and Storage Limit pages. Separate screens provide account information and setting choices. Account summaries reflect signed-in, signing-in, and signed-out states.
Settings routes and destinations wear/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/wear/ui/WatchApp.kt, wear/src/test/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/wear/ui/settings/SettingsCopyTest.kt
WatchApp maps each settings page to a route and registers a separate destination for it. The routes are included among launchable destinations. Tests check route mapping and launchability.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 9a0ba
On a watch that holds an episode under two IDs, a hand-back can start the episode without its downloaded audio, so it may not play offline. It can also restart from an older position when started from an older-ID list row. Settings navigation and the paused-seek handling look sound. Fix the two-ID handling before merging.

Explanation
The description states both changes, the hand-back playback fix and the Settings menu. It gives motivation, lists the changed components (WatchLibraryState.merged, LiveWatchPlayback.play, SettingsScreen and its pages), describes compatibility, and lists the test plan. It is directly related to the changeset.
Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title uses the Conventional Commits form with type fix and scope wear. It describes two changes: the watch resumes at the phone's place on hand-back, and Settings becomes a menu. Both match the changeset and the PR objectives. The title is 85 characters, which exceeds the roughly 72-character limit, and it names two changes in one line. The imperative mood is used ('start', 'give').
Resolution
Shorten the title to under about 72 characters, for example: "fix(wear): start the watch at the phone's place on hand-back". Move the Settings menu change to a separate commit or PR, or a separate title line in the body.

@wear/src/main/java/cx/aswin/boxlore/wear/playback/LiveWatchPlayback.kt:
- Line 69: The `play` guard using `PlaybackRules.savesPlaceBeforeStart` skips
saving a paused seek, so the same-episode reload restores an outdated position.
Update the `LiveWatchPlayback` flow to persist explicit local seeks or otherwise
track unsaved local position changes, while retaining phone hand-back protection
when the paused position is unchanged; add a JVM regression for pause, seek,
then starting the same episode.

- Line 84: In the `merged` hand-back flow, preserve playback access to audio
stored under the older ID when an own-ID copy exists without a download.
Establish which ID playback should use, then ensure either the file is available
at that ID or `mediaItem` can resolve it under the older ID; add a
`WatchLibraryStateTest` case verifying the returned episode retains its download
and playback resolves a file.
- Line 84: Update LinkedWatchPlayback.play to resolve the requested episode ID
through the existing merged saved-copy lookup before comparing it with the
phone’s playing episode. If no saved copy exists, retain the original ID; leave
the existing playback and takeover behavior unchanged.
