The connector tore down a working adb link whenever the beacon reported a
new port, reconnecting every loop and spamming the phone with "wireless
debugging connected" notifications (~every 8s). Existing connections
survive rotation, so now: if any device-state entry exists for the IP,
leave it; only (dis)connect when there's no working link at all.

connect.sh polls the fmr beacon map and keeps `adb connect` current for
every device, now handling offline/stale entries and port changes
(disconnect+reconnect). Verified end to end: after Shizuku start + a
wireless-debugging toggle, the tablet's port rotated 38309->46667, the
beacon caught it, the connector reconnected, and Shizuku kept running as
an independent shell(2000) process.

Debugging against a real restricted LAN surfaced three fixes:
- Android blocks app cleartext HTTP by default (targetSdk 36) — the port
discovery + reachability were fine (phone curl reached fmr), only the
app POST was denied. Added usesCleartextTraffic for this dev tool.
- Multi-device: report + receiver are keyed by device (Build.MODEL) so a
phone and tablet don't clobber each other; connector connects each.
- POST over a VALIDATED internet network (prefer cellular) since the
wireless-debug wifi is often a restricted LAN.
- Status/notification now show the target beacon URL + which network, per
the request to surface what it's connecting to.
Verified live: beacon tracks the (frequently rotating) port via mDNS and
self-reports the current endpoint within seconds.

The phone's wireless-debug port rotates and the bridge drops; this makes
adb reconnect automatically. Three pieces:
- adb-beacon (Android dev app): reads adbd's own mDNS advertisement
(_adb-tls-connect._tcp) via NsdManager for the live connect port — no
root, no Shizuku — plus the wlan0 IPv4, and POSTs {ip,port} to fmr every
time it changes (continuous NSD discovery catches rotation in seconds).
Foreground service (specialUse) so it survives backgrounding.
- tools/adb-beacon/receiver.py: ~30-line rendezvous on fmr:9099 (secret-
gated POST stores the latest endpoint; GET returns it). Deployed as
echolot-adb-beacon.service.
- PC connector polls the endpoint and keeps `adb connect` current.
Dev tooling, separate from the product. Bootstrap: sideload the beacon
APK once (no adb needed); thereafter adb self-heals for everything.
