Research direction

Start by reproducing the call on a Motorola G24 running Android 14 with nearby-device permission disabled, then trace the Android permission handling and Bluetooth call-audio path. Done means a Bluetooth headphone can be selected during a call without that permission, matching the reported behavior of other apps.
