Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is identified in the report. First reproduce the random bridge disconnection on a Samsung Galaxy running Android 16 and capture logs around the “Proxy has rejected the connection” message. Done means identifying and fixing the cause so an available bridge remains connected during normal use, with a regression test if the relevant component can be located.
