Research direction
The payload names no source files, tests or entry points, so the first step is reproducing the black preview with QR scanning enabled on Android 15, ideally on a similar Samsung device. Check whether the camera preview opens at all or only the scanner fails, and collect logcat output from the scan attempt. Done means the scanner decodes a QR code again on the reporter's setup, with the cause and fix noted on the issue.
