+/**
+ * JS → Android bridge for in-call audio OUTPUT routing (loudspeaker ⇄ earpiece)
+ * during a DM voice call.
+ *
+ * WHY THIS EXISTS. Call audio is owned by Chromium's WebRTC stack inside the
+ * Capacitor System WebView. For a getUserMedia voice call that stack puts the
+ * session in MODE_IN_COMMUNICATION and routes to the EARPIECE by default, and
+ * there is no in-WebView lever to move it — the Audio Output Devices API
+ * (setSinkId / selectAudioOutput) is unimplemented on Android WebView. So the
+ * only way to give the user a «громкая связь / loudspeaker» toggle is to reach
+ * the platform AudioManager natively and flip the output device on top of the
+ * session the WebView already owns.
+ *
+ * COEXISTENCE RULE (critical). The WebView's WebRTC is the single owner of the
+ * audio session: it already called setMode(MODE_IN_COMMUNICATION) and acquired
+ * audio focus. This plugin therefore ONLY flips the output device — it does NOT
+ * call setMode(), does NOT request audio focus, and does NOT start its own ADM.
+ * Two owners of the same route produce ghost echo / half-muted audio. Mirrors
+ * the route-only slice of element-android's DefaultAudioDeviceRouter without
+ * taking ownership of the session.
+ *
+ * API split:
+ *   - API 31+ (S): speaker-on = AudioManager.setCommunicationDevice() to the
+ *     TYPE_BUILTIN_SPEAKER from getAvailableCommunicationDevices(); speaker-off
+ *     = clearCommunicationDevice() so the platform auto-routes to a connected
+ *     headset (wired/BT/USB) or the earpiece. clearCommunicationDevice() also
+ *     restores the platform default on call end.
+ *   - API < 31: legacy AudioManager.setSpeakerphoneOn(boolean). Deprecated but
+ *     the only option pre-S; works because the WebView already set
+ *     MODE_IN_COMMUNICATION.
+ *
+ * NOTE (on-device verification pending): some OEM WebView builds resist
+ * app-side routing once they own the session. setSpeaker resolves with the
+ * route the plugin OBSERVES after the call (getRoute re-read), so the JS side
+ * can trust the resolved value rather than assuming the request took.
