Research direction

Start by searching the Kotlin codebase for call mute-related logic, likely in the in-call UI or telephony service modules. Look for any timer, handler, or scheduled task that triggers an unmute action, and correct the condition that causes it to fire 1 minute after muting. Test the fix by muting a call to confirm the app no longer auto-unmutes without user consent.
