Research direction

Start in Emulator.cs with WaitForBootComplete, WaitForCpuLoadBelow, and DisableAnimations, then review the existing retry behavior in FindRunningEmulatorSerialByAvdName. Run the current tests and add coverage for DisableAnimations and launcher waiting in WaitForBootComplete. Done means transient ADB failures are handled as described and the unused System.Data import is removed.

Description

Ref: PR #63

The following improvements were identified during review of PR #63 to improve reliability and handle transient ADB failures:

  1. WaitForBootComplete: The adb.Shell calls inside the polling loop (lines ~355) can throw SdkToolFailedExitException if adb exits non-zero. These should be wrapped in a try-catch block to allow retrying, similar to FindRunningEmulatorSerialByAvdName.
  2. WaitForCpuLoadBelow: The adb.Shell call (line ~401) should also be wrapped in try-catch to handle transient failures.
  3. DisableAnimations: The adb.Shell calls (line ~429) should be best-effort and wrapped in try-catch.
  4. Test Coverage: Add tests for DisableAnimations and the new launcher waiting logic in WaitForBootComplete.
  5. Cleanup: Remove unused using System.Data; in Emulator.cs.
