Wrap setting sections in SettingsSection cards using Material 3 surfaceContainerLow surfaces with rounded corners. Reorder Controls by usage frequency, move Microphone Mode to Other section, and replace ear detection info row with a contextual info box that only appears for BLE-only connections.

Serialize AapConnection.send() with a dedicated sendMutex so two concurrent optimistic state updates cannot clobber each other. Collapse the OFF toggle click into a single combined VM call that runs both SetListeningModeCycle and SetAllowOffOption sequentially.

When both pods broadcast independently (one in case, one on desk), the pod inside the case carries authoritative case state via hasCaseContext bits. Previously, whichever address was processed last would overwrite the other, causing case state to flip-flop between OPEN and NOT_IN_CASE every scan cycle.

Two-layer fix: BlePodMonitor.processWithCache() now prefers the pod with case context when two scan results map to the same identity in one batch. ApplePodsFactory.getLatestCaseLidState() no longer treats NOT_IN_CASE as authoritative when recent history contains a broadcast with case context.

Move each composable from PodCardComponents.kt into its own file under a new cards/components/ subpackage. Add previews to each file. Also add getBatteryIcon() for Compose Material Icon battery levels used in the popup.

Hide the overlay popup when MainActivity is in the foreground since the user can already see battery info in the app. Show an info card when popups are enabled explaining they only appear outside the app. Show a warning card with a Fix button when monitor mode is MANUAL.

Refactor SettingsInfoBox into a reusable component with INFO/WARNING types and optional action slot.

PlayPause coerced null per-side ear values to false, making all ear states invisible when resolvedPrimaryPod was unknown. Fall back to AAP aggregate state (isBeingWorn/isEitherPodInEar) when per-side mapping is unavailable, keeping PodDevice.isLeftInEar/isRightInEar truthful for UI consumers. Add isEitherPodInEar to PlayPauseMonitorKey for proper dedup. Add diagnostic logging at the distinctUntilChangedBy boundary.

Remove Pre-distinct log that fired on every emission. Replace full PodDevice dump in Checking log with compact ear detection summary.
