 ### 8) Voice + expanded Android command surface
 
 - Voice tab: Android has two explicit capture modes. **Mic** is a manual Voice-tab session that sends each pause as a chat turn and stops when the app leaves the foreground or the user leaves the Voice tab. **Talk** is continuous Talk Mode and keeps listening until toggled off or the node disconnects.
-- Talk Mode promotes the existing foreground service from `dataSync` to `dataSync|microphone` before capture starts, then demotes it when Talk Mode stops. Android 14+ requires the `FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MICROPHONE` declaration, the `RECORD_AUDIO` runtime grant, and the microphone service type at runtime.
+- Talk Mode promotes the existing foreground service from `connectedDevice` to `connectedDevice|microphone` before capture starts, then demotes it when Talk Mode stops. The node service declares `FOREGROUND_SERVICE_CONNECTED_DEVICE` with `CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE`; Android 14+ also requires the `FOREGROUND_SERVICE_MICROPHONE` declaration, the `RECORD_AUDIO` runtime grant, and the microphone service type at runtime.
 - By default, Android Talk uses native speech recognition, Gateway chat, and `talk.speak` through the configured gateway Talk provider. Local system TTS is used only when `talk.speak` is unavailable.
 - Android Talk uses realtime Gateway relay only when `talk.realtime.mode` is `realtime` and `talk.realtime.transport` is `gateway-relay`.
 - Voice wake remains disabled in the Android UX/runtime.
