Research direction

Find the code handling call interruption modes and the 'Allow repeat callers' setting. Look for where incoming calls are filtered based on the mode's 'Calls that can interrupt' configuration. The fix should ensure repeat callers bypass the 'None' setting. Verify by creating a mode with 'None' interruptions and 'Allow repeat callers' enabled, then calling twice in quick succession.

Steps to reproduce the bug
  1. Set Fossify Phone as default Phone app (optionally as default Caller ID and Spam app, doesn’t make a difference).
  2. Create a Mode or edit a predefined one like Do Not Disturb.
  3. Under "People"/"Calls" set "Calls that can interrupt" to "None" and enable "Allow repeat callers".
  4. Enable that mode.
  5. Call the phone twice in close succession.
Expected behavior

The phone rings for the second call.

Actual behavior

Both calls create notifications but without ringing.
