Research direction

The issue names no files, tests or entry points. Read the eight comments first to see whether the scope (which code formats, and whether scanning is a separate mode or part of the capture flow) has been settled. Done would mean an agreed scope and a working scan path on Android, which maintainers should confirm before any code is written.
