What changed
No user-facing behavior change. Internal documentation update: comments in AAP protocol code now describe message type
0x0054("Set Band Edges") as configuring the AirPods radio's allowed RF bands — not the EQ-related guess that was inherited from the earlier "Personal Mixing Engine" reading of the neighbouring0x0053message.Technical Context
0x0054gates radio frequency bands. AirPods Pro 2 USB-C and newer can transmit on 5 GHz / 6 GHz U-NII bands in addition to 2.4 GHz ISM — Apple uses this for the proprietary lossless audio mode with Apple Vision Pro.BSM_BAND_CODE_*enum (identified via FCC firmware analysis):0x0 = ISM24,0x1 = U-NII-1,0x2 = U-NII-3,0x3 = U-NII-4,0x4–0x7 = U-NII-5A/B/C/D,0x8 = INVALID.AapCommand.SetBandEdges(...)subclass, no payload decoder. CAPod still observes-but-does-not-decode this opcode; adding structure now would be premature without sample captures.AapSessionEngineno longer carries the "neighbouring opcode" framing, since the kdoc onAapMessageTypenow carries the full story.Refs #544.
