Research direction

The payload names no file, class or test; the failure is an incoming-call screen going black on an Android 15 device, which points at the app's call-screen activity but the issue does not say which. Reproducing it needs a device or emulator with a ringing incoming call, and the comment thread holds only one entry with no maintainer answer. Done would mean the answer screen appears on an incoming call on this device and in the reporter's steps.
