Adds the ActivityKit foundation for Home Assistant iOS Live Activities,
targeting feature parity with Android's live_update notification system.

- HALiveActivityAttributes: ActivityAttributes struct with static tag/title
  and dynamic ContentState (message, criticalText, progress, progressMax,
  chronometer, countdownEnd, icon, color). Field names mirror Android
  companion notification fields. Never rename post-ship — struct name
  is used as the APNs attributes-type identifier.

- LiveActivityRegistry (actor): Thread-safe lifecycle manager with TOCTOU-
  safe reservation pattern. Handles start, update, end, and reattachment
  to activities surviving process termination. Supports both iOS 16.1
  (contentState:) and iOS 16.2+ (content: ActivityContent) API shapes.

- HandlerStartOrUpdateLiveActivity / HandlerEndLiveActivity: New
  NotificationCommandHandler structs registered for "live_activity" and
  "end_live_activity" commands, bridging PromiseKit to async/await.

- HandlerClearNotification extended: clear_notification + tag now also
  ends any matching Live Activity — identical YAML dismisses on both iOS
  and Android.

- HALiveActivityConfiguration: WidgetKit ActivityConfiguration wiring
  registered in WidgetsBundle18 (iOS 18+ widget bundle).

- HALockScreenView: Lock Screen / StandBy view with icon, timer or message,
  and optional ProgressView. Stays within 160pt system height limit.

- HADynamicIslandView: All four DynamicIsland presentations (compact
  leading/trailing, minimal, expanded) using SwiftUI result builder API.

- AppEnvironment: liveActivityRegistry property added under
  #if os(iOS) && canImport(ActivityKit) using Any? backing store to
  avoid @available stored property compiler restriction.

All ActivityKit code guarded by #if canImport(ActivityKit) and
@available(iOS 16.1, *). iPad gracefully returns areActivitiesEnabled==false.

Wires Live Activities into the existing notification pipeline so HA automations
can start, update, and end activities from YAML without app changes.

Notification routing:
- NotificationCommandManager.handle() now intercepts live_activity: true in the
  homeassistant dict as an alternative to the command-based approach (message:
  live_activity). This matches Android's data.live_update: true pattern — the
  message field can be real body text while live_activity: true in data triggers
  ActivityKit. Both paths funnel into HandlerStartOrUpdateLiveActivity.
- HandlerStartOrUpdateLiveActivity/End guard Current.isAppExtension — PushProvider
  (NEAppPushProvider) runs in a separate OS process where ActivityKit is unavailable.
  The same notification is re-delivered to the main app via UNUserNotificationCenter,
  where the main app processes it correctly.

Tag validation:
- Tag validated as [a-zA-Z0-9_-], max 64 chars, matching safe APNs collapse ID subset.
  Invalid tags log an error and fulfill cleanly instead of crashing or infinite-retrying.

Push token + lifecycle observation:
- LiveActivityRegistry.makeObservationTask() now runs two concurrent async streams
  via withTaskGroup: pushTokenUpdates (reports each new token to all HA servers) and
  activityStateUpdates (reports dismissal to HA so it stops sending updates).
- Webhooks use type "mobile_app_live_activity_token" and "mobile_app_live_activity_dismissed"
  via the existing WebhookManager.sendEphemeral path.
- APNs environment (sandbox/production) is included in token reports for relay routing.

Capability advertisement:
- mobileAppRegistrationRequestModel() adds supports_live_activities: true on iOS 16.1+
  and supports_live_activities_frequent_updates on iOS 17.2+ to AppData, so the HA
  device registry shows the capability and can gate Live Activity UI in automations.

App launch recovery:
- AppDelegate.willFinishLaunchingWithOptions calls setupLiveActivityReattachment(),
  which runs liveActivityRegistry.reattach() on a Task. This restores observation
  (token + lifecycle) for any activities that survived process termination — ensuring
  no token updates are missed between launches.

Adds iOS 17.2+ push-to-start support so HA can start a Live Activity entirely
via APNs without the app being in the foreground (best-effort, ~50% success
from terminated state — the primary flow remains notification command → app).

Token observation:
- LiveActivityRegistry.startObservingPushToStartToken() observes the async stream
  Activity<HALiveActivityAttributes>.pushToStartTokenUpdates (iOS 17.2+).
- Each new token is stored in Keychain (not UserDefaults — this token can start
  any new activity so it warrants stronger storage) under a stable key.
- Triggers api.updateRegistration() on all connected servers so the token is
  immediately available in the HA device registry.

AppDelegate:
- setupLiveActivityReattachment() now runs both reattach() and, on iOS 17.2+,
  startObservingPushToStartToken() sequentially in a single long-lived Task.
  The push-to-start stream is infinite and is kept alive for the app's lifetime.

Registration payload:
- mobileAppRegistrationRequestModel() includes live_activity_push_to_start_token
  and live_activity_push_to_start_apns_environment in AppData on iOS 17.2+ when
  a token is stored. The relay server uses these to route push-to-start APNs
  payloads to the correct environment (sandbox vs production).
- Extracted apnsEnvironmentString() helper shared by push-to-start and per-activity
  token reporting.

Protocol:
- LiveActivityRegistryProtocol gains startObservingPushToStartToken() @available(iOS 17.2, *)
  for testability and mock injection.

Note: relay server changes (new APNs endpoint, JWT routing, push-to-start payload
format) are required for end-to-end functionality and are tracked separately.

Subject: [PATCH 04/34] =?UTF-8?q?feat(live-activity):=20Phase=204=20?=
 =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=94=20settings=20UI=20and=20privacy=20disclosure?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add LiveActivitySettingsView with status, active activities list,
  privacy notice, and frequent-updates section (iOS 17.2+)
- Add SettingsItem.liveActivities wired into the Settings navigation
- Add hasSeenLiveActivityDisclosure flag to SettingsStore
- Implement showPrivacyDisclosureIfNeeded() one-time local notification
  shown the first time a Live Activity is started, reminding the user
  that lock screen content is visible without authentication

Subject: [PATCH 05/34] refactor(live-activity): address code review findings
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Architecture & correctness:
- Pre-warm liveActivityRegistry on main thread before spawning Tasks to
  eliminate lazy-init race between concurrent callers (notification handler
  + reattach Task). Split reattach and startObservingPushToStartToken into
  two independent Tasks so an infinite stream doesn't block reattach.
- Bridge HandlerClearNotification Live Activity end into the returned
  Promise so the background fetch window stays open until end() completes.
- Use registered "live_activity" handler instance in the intercept path
  instead of constructing a second HandlerStartOrUpdateLiveActivity().

Deduplication & simplification:
- Extract apnsEnvironmentString() to Current.apnsEnvironment, removing
  identical private methods from LiveActivityRegistry and HAAPI.
- Remove duplicate Color(hex:)/UIColor(hex:) extensions from
  HALockScreenView — Shared already provides superior versions that handle
  CSS color names, nil, 3/4/6/8-digit hex, and log errors on bad input.
- Consolidate "#03A9F4" (HA blue) to a shared haBlueHex constant used by
  both HALockScreenView and HADynamicIslandView.
- Hoist staleDate interval to kLiveActivityStaleInterval constant (was
  hardcoded as 30 * 60 in three call sites).

Bug fixes:
- Fix progress/progressMax/when JSON number coercion: `as? Int` silently
  returns nil when the JSON number is Double-backed. Use NSNumber coercion
  so both Int and Double values decode correctly. Parse `when` as Double
  to preserve sub-second Unix timestamps.

Correctness cleanup:
- Remove dead Task.isCancelled guard in pushTokenUpdates loop — Swift
  cooperative cancellation exits the for-await at the suspension point,
  not at the next iteration.
- Remove misleading async from reportPushToStartToken — it was fire-and-
  forget internally; removing async makes the calling convention honest.

Subject: [PATCH 06/34] refactor(live-activity): localization, remove
 availability wrapper, improve privacy disclosure
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add L10n keys (live_activity.*) to Localizable.strings and Strings.swift for all
  user-facing strings in LiveActivitySettingsView and SettingsItem
- Wire L10n.LiveActivity.* throughout LiveActivitySettingsView and SettingsItem
- Remove LiveActivitySettingsView availability wrapper — deployment target is iOS 15,
  the settings item is already filtered out below iOS 16.1 in allVisibleCases, so the
  unreachable fallback Text() added noise without providing safety
- Replace UNNotificationRequest privacy disclosure with flag-only recording:
  a local notification silently fails when notification permission is not granted,
  meaning the users who need the warning most (new users) never see it. The permanent
  privacy section in LiveActivitySettingsView is the correct disclosure surface.

Subject: [PATCH 07/34] fix(live-activity): address security and performance
 review findings
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Security (P3):
- Apply isValidTag() to HandlerEndLiveActivity — end handler now rejects
  invalid tags the same way the start handler does (consistency fix)
- Cap dismissal_policy "after:<timestamp>" to 24 hours maximum — iOS
  enforces its own ceiling but this is defensive against future OS changes

Performance (P2):
- Run endAllActivities() concurrently via withTaskGroup instead of
  sequentially awaiting each end() call across the actor boundary

+# feat: iOS Live Activities for Home Assistant
+
+## Enhancement Summary
+
+**Deepened on:** 2026-03-18
+**Research agents used:** ActivityKit framework docs, APNs best practices, security sentinel, architecture strategist, performance oracle, spec-flow analyzer, code simplicity reviewer, async race conditions reviewer
+
+### Key Improvements Added
+1. **Critical process boundary constraint**: `PushProvider` (network extension) cannot call ActivityKit — it runs in a separate OS process. All handlers in the extension must relay to the main app via `UNUserNotificationCenter`. This would have caused silent failures at runtime.
+2. **API version split**: The `Activity.request(attributes:contentState:pushType:)` API was deprecated in iOS 16.2 and replaced with `Activity.request(attributes:content:pushType:)` using `ActivityContent`. Code must handle both.
+3. **iOS 18 rate limit change**: Apple changed update rate limiting to ~15s minimum between updates in iOS 18. Design must not assume 1 Hz is reliably achievable.
+4. **Actor isolation required**: The `[String: Activity<T>]` dictionary will be accessed from multiple threads/queues. Must use a Swift `actor` with a reservation pattern to prevent TOCTOU races.
+5. **Simplification**: Remove `updatedAt: Date` and `secondaryState` from MVP `ContentState`. Consolidate 3 handler files to 1. Use `Activity<T>.activities` instead of a parallel dictionary.
+6. **Push-to-start unreliability**: Push-to-start from a fully terminated app has ~50% success rate. The primary flow must be foreground-initiated; push-to-start is best-effort only.
+7. **Security**: Activity push tokens must be stored in Keychain (not `UserDefaults`), never logged to crash reporters, and only transmitted over the encrypted webhook channel.
+
+### New Considerations Discovered
+- `attributes-type` in APNs push-to-start payload must exactly match the Swift struct name — case-sensitive, immutable post-ship
+- Certificate-based APNs auth is not supported for Live Activities; relay server must use JWT (`.p8` key)
+- iOS 18 changes update budgets significantly; `NSSupportsLiveActivitiesFrequentUpdates` should be opt-in per activity
+- `NotificationService` extension is never invoked for `apns-push-type: liveactivity` pushes
+- iPad has `areActivitiesEnabled == false` — must handle gracefully without crash
+- App must report capability (`supports_live_activities: Bool`) in registration payload so HA server can gate the UI
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+Implement iOS Live Activities using Apple's ActivityKit framework so that Home Assistant automations can display real-time data on the iOS Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. This is a highly requested community feature (discussion #84). The Android companion app already ships this via persistent/ongoing notifications with tag-based in-place updates. The goal is **feature parity with Android** using the same notification field names so automations can target both platforms with minimal differences.
+
+---
+
+## Android Feature Baseline (What We're Matching)
+
+The Android companion app has **two tiers** of live/updating notifications:
+
+### Tier 1: `alert_once: true` + `tag` (any Android version)
+Standard notifications updated in-place. Subsequent pushes with the same `tag` replace the notification without re-alerting.
+
+### Tier 2: `live_update: true` (Android 16+ only) — the primary target
+Android 16's native **Live Updates API**. Pins the notification to:
+- Status bar as a **chip** showing `critical_text` or a live `chronometer`
+- Lock screen (persistent, doesn't scroll away)
+- Always-on display
+
+This is the direct Android equivalent of iOS Live Activities.
+
+```yaml
+# Android 16+: Live Update with progress bar and countdown timer
+action: notify.mobile_app_<device>
+data:
+  title: "Washing Machine"         # required for live_update
+  message: "Cycle in progress"
+  data:
+    tag: washer_cycle              # unique ID for in-place updates
+    live_update: true              # Android 16+: pin to status bar chip + lock screen
+    critical_text: "45 min"        # short text shown in status bar chip
+    progress: 2700                 # current value (raw integer)
+    progress_max: 3600             # maximum value
+    chronometer: true              # show countdown timer instead of critical_text
+    when: 2700                     # seconds until done (for chronometer)
+    when_relative: true            # treat `when` as duration, not timestamp
+    notification_icon: mdi:washing-machine   # MDI icon for status bar chip
+    notification_icon_color: "#2196F3"       # icon accent color
+    alert_once: true               # also works on older Android: silent updates
+    sticky: true                   # non-dismissible by user
+    visibility: public             # visible on lock screen
+
+# Android: dismiss it
+action: notify.mobile_app_<device>
+data:
+  message: clear_notification
+  data:
+    tag: washer_cycle
+```
+
+**Key Android `live_update` fields:**
+
+| Field | Type | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `live_update` | bool | Enable Android 16 Live Updates API |
+| `tag` | string | Unique ID — same tag = update in-place |
+| `title` | string | Required for `live_update` |
+| `message` | string | Body text |
+| `critical_text` | string | Short text in status bar chip |
+| `chronometer` | bool | Show live countdown instead of `critical_text` |
+| `when` | int | Seconds for the countdown / timestamp |
+| `when_relative` | bool | Treat `when` as relative duration |
+| `progress` | int | Current progress value (raw integer) |
+| `progress_max` | int | Maximum progress value |
+| `notification_icon` | string | MDI slug for status bar icon |
+| `notification_icon_color` | string | Hex color for icon |
+| `alert_once` | bool | Silence subsequent alerts (older Android fallback) |
+| `sticky` | bool | Non-dismissible |
+| `visibility` | string | `public` = visible on lock screen |
+
+---
+
+## Problem Statement / Motivation
+
+Home Assistant users frequently need to monitor time-sensitive states (a washer finishing, a door left open, a timer counting down, a media player progress bar) without constantly opening the app. iOS 16.1 introduced Live Activities via ActivityKit specifically for this use case. Android users already have this capability. iOS companion app users have no equivalent.
+
+---
+
+## Proposed Solution
+
+Implement iOS Live Activities triggered by the **same notification fields Android uses**. The iOS opt-in field `live_activity: true` mirrors Android's `live_update: true`. All other field names (`tag`, `title`, `message`, `progress`, `progress_max`, `chronometer`, `when`, `when_relative`, `notification_icon`, `notification_icon_color`) are shared between both platforms.
+
+```yaml
+# Works on BOTH Android 16+ and iOS 16.1+:
+
+action: notify.mobile_app_<device>
+data:
+  title: "Washing Machine"
+  message: "45 minutes remaining"
+  data:
+    tag: washer_cycle                      # iOS & Android: unique ID for in-place updates
+    live_update: true                      # Android 16+: pin to status bar chip + lock screen
+    live_activity: true                    # iOS 16.1+: use Live Activity (Android ignores)
+    critical_text: "45 min"               # Android: status bar chip text. iOS: Dynamic Island compact trailing
+    progress: 2700                         # iOS & Android: current value (raw integer)
+    progress_max: 3600                     # iOS & Android: maximum value
+    chronometer: true                      # iOS & Android: show countdown timer
+    when: 2700                             # seconds remaining (used with chronometer)
+    when_relative: true                    # treat `when` as duration from now
+    notification_icon: mdi:washing-machine # iOS & Android: MDI icon slug
+    notification_icon_color: "#2196F3"    # iOS & Android: icon accent color
+    alert_once: true                       # Android: silent updates. iOS: ignored (always silent)
+    sticky: true                           # Android: non-dismissible. iOS: ignored (always persistent)
+    visibility: public                     # Android: lock screen. iOS: ignored (always public)
+
+# Dismiss — identical on both platforms:
+action: notify.mobile_app_<device>
+data:
+  message: clear_notification
+  data:
+    tag: washer_cycle
+```
+
+**iOS field mapping:**
+
+| Companion docs field | iOS Live Activity mapping | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `live_update: true` | — | Android-only opt-in; iOS uses `live_activity: true` |
+| `live_activity: true` | Triggers Live Activity | Android ignores unknown fields |
+| `tag` | `HALiveActivityAttributes.tag` | Same semantics: same tag = update in-place |
+| `title` | `HALiveActivityAttributes.title` | Static attribute, set at activity creation |
+| `message` | `ContentState.message` | Primary state text |
+| `critical_text` | Dynamic Island compact trailing text | Short label (≤~10 chars) |
+| `progress` | `ContentState.progress` | Raw integer |
+| `progress_max` | `ContentState.progressMax` | Raw integer; fraction computed for SwiftUI |
+| `chronometer: true` | `Text(timerInterval:countsDown:)` | Native iOS — zero battery cost, hardware-smooth |
+| `when` + `when_relative` | Countdown end `Date` = `now + when` seconds | Converted to absolute `Date` for ActivityKit |
+| `notification_icon` | `ContentState.icon` | MDI slug |
+| `notification_icon_color` | `ContentState.color` | Hex string |
+| `alert_once`, `sticky`, `visibility` | Ignored | Live Activities handle these natively |
+| `clear_notification` + `tag` | Ends Live Activity + clears UNNotification | Same YAML, both platforms |
+
+On iOS < 16.1 or iPad, `live_activity: true` is ignored and the notification falls through as a regular banner — graceful degradation with no automation changes needed.
+
+The `ActivityAttributes` schema is wire-format stable: fields are only ever added, never renamed or removed, to maintain APNs compatibility across app updates.

+```
+
+### iOS Version Requirements
+
+| Feature | Minimum iOS |
+|---|---|
+| ActivityKit (basic) | **iOS 16.1** |
+| `ActivityContent` / `staleDate` / updated API | **iOS 16.2** |
+| Push-to-start (remote start) | **iOS 17.2** |
+| `frequentPushesEnabled` user toggle | **iOS 17.2** |
+| Current deployment target | iOS 15.0 |
+
+All ActivityKit code must be wrapped in `#available(iOS 16.1, *)`. Use `#available(iOS 16.2, *)` for `ActivityContent` (the updated API). Push-to-start token registration must be wrapped in `#available(iOS 17.2, *)`. The UI must degrade gracefully on older OS versions (simply absent). iPad returns `areActivitiesEnabled == false` — must not crash.
+
+### Critical API Version Split (iOS 16.1 vs 16.2)
+
+The `Activity.request(...)` API changed in iOS 16.2. Both paths must be handled:
+
+```swift
+// iOS 16.1 only (deprecated — supports deployment target iOS 15+):
+let activity = try Activity<HALiveActivityAttributes>.request(
+    attributes: attributes,
+    contentState: initialState,   // ← "contentState:" label
+    pushType: .token
+)
+
+// iOS 16.2+ (preferred):
+let content = ActivityContent(
+    state: initialState,
+    staleDate: Date().addingTimeInterval(30 * 60),
+    relevanceScore: 0.5
+)
+let activity = try Activity<HALiveActivityAttributes>.request(
+    attributes: attributes,
+    content: content,             // ← "content:" label (ActivityContent wrapper)
+    pushType: .token
+)
+```
+
+Similarly, `activity.update(using:)` is iOS 16.1 only; use `activity.update(_:)` with `ActivityContent` on iOS 16.2+.
+
+---
+
+### Implementation Phases
+
+#### Phase 1: Foundation — Data Model & Basic Local Start/End
+
+**Goal:** Define the ActivityKit data model and be able to start/end a Live Activity from within the app (local only, no push).
+
+**Tasks:**
+
+- [ ] **`HALiveActivityAttributes.swift`** — Define the `ActivityAttributes` conforming struct in `Sources/Shared/LiveActivity/` behind `#if canImport(ActivityKit)`. This file must be compiled into BOTH the `iOS-App` target and `Extensions-Widgets` target (via `Shared.framework`). The `attributes-type` string in APNs payloads must exactly match the Swift struct name — **never rename this struct post-ship**.
+
+  ```swift
+  // Sources/Shared/LiveActivity/HALiveActivityAttributes.swift
+  #if canImport(ActivityKit)
+  import ActivityKit
+
+  public struct HALiveActivityAttributes: ActivityAttributes {
+      // Static: set once at activity creation, cannot change
+      // These map from the initial notification payload fields
+      public let tag: String           // = Android's `tag` field; unique ID for this activity
+      public let title: String         // = Android's `title` field
+
+      // Dynamic: updated via push or local update
+      // Field names intentionally mirror Android companion docs notification fields
+      public struct ContentState: Codable, Hashable {
+          public var message: String          // = `message`. Primary state text
+          public var criticalText: String?    // = `critical_text`. Short text for Dynamic Island compact trailing
+          public var progress: Int?           // = `progress`. Current value (raw integer)
+          public var progressMax: Int?        // = `progress_max`. Maximum value
+          public var chronometer: Bool?       // = `chronometer`. If true, show countdown timer
+          public var countdownEnd: Date?      // = computed from `when` + `when_relative`. Absolute end date for timer
+          public var icon: String?            // = `notification_icon`. MDI slug
+          public var color: String?           // = `notification_icon_color`. Hex string
+
+          // Computed for SwiftUI rendering — not sent over wire
+          public var progressFraction: Double? {
+              guard let p = progress, let m = progressMax, m > 0 else { return nil }
+              return Double(p) / Double(m)
+          }
+      }
+  }
+  #endif
+  ```
+
+  **Payload parsing note:** The handler reads standard notification fields and maps them:
+  - `when` (int, seconds) + `when_relative: true` → `countdownEnd = Date().addingTimeInterval(Double(when))`
+  - `when` as absolute Unix timestamp + `when_relative: false` → `countdownEnd = Date(timeIntervalSince1970: Double(when))`
+  - `notification_icon` → `icon` (stored as-is, MDI slug)
+  - `notification_icon_color` → `color` (same field semantics as Android `color`)
+
+  **Design notes:**
+  - All field names in JSON encoding match Android companion docs field names (via `CodingKeys`)
+  - `progress`/`progress_max` are raw integers (matching Android) — `progressFraction` is computed for SwiftUI
+  - `updatedAt: Date` omitted — system APNs timestamp handles ordering
+  - `unit` deferred — add only when a specific layout requires it
+  - Total encoded size of attributes + ContentState must stay under ~4KB (APNs limit)
+  - **Never rename this struct or its fields post-ship** — `attributes-type` in APNs push-to-start payloads must match the Swift type name exactly
+
+- [ ] **`LiveActivityRegistry.swift`** (actor) — in `Sources/Shared/LiveActivity/`:
+  ```swift
+  // actor protects concurrent access from push handler queue + token observer tasks
+  actor LiveActivityRegistry {
+      struct Entry {
+          let activity: Activity<HALiveActivityAttributes>
+          let observationTask: Task<Void, Never>
+      }
+      private var reserved: Set<String> = []   // TOCTOU protection
+      private var entries: [String: Entry] = []
+
+      /// Returns false if ID is already reserved or running (prevents duplicate start race)
+      func reserve(id: String) -> Bool { ... }
+      func confirmReservation(id: String, entry: Entry) { ... }
+      func cancelReservation(id: String) { ... }
+      func remove(id: String) -> Entry? { ... }
+      func entry(for id: String) -> Entry? { ... }
+  }
+  ```
+  Exposed via `AppEnvironment` as a protocol-typed property under `#if os(iOS)`, following the `notificationAttachmentManager` pattern.
+
+- [ ] **`HandlerLiveActivity.swift`** — One file, three `private struct`s, in `Sources/Shared/Notifications/NotificationCommands/`, consistent with `HandlerUpdateComplications` and `HandlerUpdateWidgets` pattern:
+  - `HandlerStartLiveActivity: NotificationCommandHandler`
+  - `HandlerUpdateLiveActivity: NotificationCommandHandler`
+  - `HandlerEndLiveActivity: NotificationCommandHandler`
+
+- [ ] **Live Activity views** — in `Sources/Extensions/Widgets/LiveActivity/`:
+  - `HALiveActivityConfiguration.swift` — `ActivityConfiguration` wrapper
+  - `HALockScreenView.swift` — Lock Screen / StandBy view (max 160pt height)
+  - `HADynamicIslandView.swift` — All Dynamic Island presentations
+
+- [ ] **Register `ActivityConfiguration`** in `Sources/Extensions/Widgets/Widgets.swift` inside `WidgetsBundle18` with `#available(iOS 16.2, *)` guard
+
+- [ ] **`Info.plist`** — Add `NSSupportsLiveActivities = true` to `Sources/App/Resources/Info.plist`
+
+- [ ] **`AppEnvironment`** — Add `var liveActivityRegistry: LiveActivityRegistryProtocol` under `#if os(iOS)` to `Sources/Shared/Environment/Environment.swift`
+
+- [ ] **App launch recovery** — In `LiveActivityRegistry.init()` or at startup, enumerate `Activity<HALiveActivityAttributes>.activities` to re-attach observation tasks to any activities that survived process termination. This must happen before any push handlers are invoked.
+
+**Research Insights — Phase 1:**
+
+**Xcode Preview support (no device needed for UI iteration):**
+```swift
+#Preview("Lock Screen", as: .content, using: HALiveActivityAttributes(activityID: "test", title: "Washer")) {
+    HALiveActivityConfiguration()
+} contentStates: {
+    HALiveActivityAttributes.ContentState(state: "Running", value: 0.65, unit: nil, iconName: "mdi:washing-machine", color: "#4CAF50")
+    HALiveActivityAttributes.ContentState(state: "Done", value: 1.0, unit: nil, iconName: "mdi:check-circle", color: "#2196F3")
+}
+
+#Preview("Dynamic Island Compact", as: .dynamicIsland(.compact), ...) { ... }
+#Preview("Dynamic Island Expanded", as: .dynamicIsland(.expanded), ...) { ... }
+```
+
+**Lock Screen height budget:** The system hard-truncates at **160 points**. Padding counts against this limit.
+
+**Dynamic Island region layout:**
+```swift
+DynamicIsland {
+    DynamicIslandExpandedRegion(.leading) { /* icon */ }
+    DynamicIslandExpandedRegion(.trailing) { /* value + unit */ }
+    DynamicIslandExpandedRegion(.center) { /* state text */ }
+    DynamicIslandExpandedRegion(.bottom) { /* optional detail, full-width */ }
+} compactLeading: { /* icon only */ }
+  compactTrailing: { /* value, caption2 font */ }
+  minimal: { /* single icon */ }
+```
+
+**Color rendering optimization:** Do NOT parse hex strings in the SwiftUI view body (runs on every render pass in SpringBoard). Pre-parse hex in `ContentState` decoding or use a cached extension:
+```swift
+// Add to ContentState
+var resolvedColor: Color { Color(hex: color ?? "#FFFFFF") }
+```
+
+**`ActivityAuthorizationInfo` check before every start:**
+```swift
+guard ActivityAuthorizationInfo().areActivitiesEnabled else {
+    // Report back to HA via webhook; do not crash
+    return
+}
+```
+
+**Success criteria:**
+- A Live Activity can be started in-app on a physical iOS 16.1+ device
+- The Lock Screen and Dynamic Island show the correct content
+- Activity ends cleanly
+- Xcode Preview shows all 4 presentations without a device
+- On iOS < 16.1 or iPad, code paths are no-ops
+
+---
+
+#### Phase 2: Notification Command Integration (Local Push + APNs Update/End)
+
+**Goal:** Enable HA automations to start, update, and end Live Activities via the existing notification command system. Push token is reported to HA so it can send APNs updates directly.
+
+**Tasks:**
+
+- [ ] **`HandlerLiveActivity`** — new `NotificationCommandHandler` registered for command `live_activity`, containing three private structs in one file:
+  - **`HandlerStartOrUpdateLiveActivity`** — triggered when any notification arrives with `data.live_activity: true`
+    - Reads from notification `data` dict: `tag` (required, becomes `activityID`), `title` (required), `message`, `progress`, `progress_max`, `color`, `icon`
+    - Validates `tag`: max 64 chars, `[a-zA-Z0-9\-_]` only
+    - If activity with `tag` already running → **update** (matches Android's tag-based replacement)
+    - If not running → **start** new Live Activity (reservation pattern for TOCTOU safety)
+    - Reports push token to HA server via webhook immediately after start
+  - **`HandlerEndLiveActivity`** — triggered by `message: clear_notification` when notification also has a `tag` that matches a running Live Activity
+    - Integrated into existing `HandlerClearNotification` — check if `tag` matches a running `Activity<HALiveActivityAttributes>`; if so, end it in addition to clearing the UNNotification
+    - Optional `dismissal_policy` field: `immediate` (default), `default` (linger up to 4h), `after:<unix-timestamp>`
+    - If no matching Live Activity, silently succeeds (existing `clear_notification` behavior preserved)
+
+- [ ] **Modify `HandlerClearNotification`** — extend to also end any Live Activity whose `tag` attribute matches:
+  ```swift
+  // In HandlerClearNotification.handle(_:)
+  if #available(iOS 16.1, *), let tag = payload["tag"] as? String {
+      // End matching Live Activity if one exists
+      if let activity = Activity<HALiveActivityAttributes>.activities
+          .first(where: { $0.attributes.tag == tag }) {
+          Task { await activity.end(nil, dismissalPolicy: .immediate) }
+      }
+  }
+  // existing UNUserNotificationCenter.current().removeDeliveredNotifications(...)
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Register `live_activity` command** in `NotificationsCommandManager.init()` under `#if os(iOS)`
+
+**Platform parity table:**
+
+| Android field | iOS handling | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `tag` | `HALiveActivityAttributes.tag` (activityID) | Same field name, same semantics |
+| `title` | `HALiveActivityAttributes.title` (static) | Same |
+| `message` | `ContentState.message` | Same field name |
+| `progress` | `ContentState.progress` | Same field name, raw integer |
+| `progress_max` | `ContentState.progressMax` | Camel-cased in Swift, `progress_max` in JSON |
+| `color` | `ContentState.color` | Same |
+| `icon` | `ContentState.icon` | Same (MDI slug) |
+| `alert_once` | Ignored — Live Activities are always silent on update | No action needed |
+| `sticky` | Ignored — Live Activities are persistent by nature | No action needed |
+| `visibility: public` | Always public on Lock Screen | No action needed |
+| `live_activity: true` | Triggers Live Activity path | Android ignores unknown fields |
+| `clear_notification` + `tag` | Ends Live Activity AND clears UNNotification | Same YAML works on both |
+
+- [ ] **PushProvider relay** — `HandlerStartLiveActivity`, `HandlerUpdateLiveActivity`, and `HandlerEndLiveActivity` when running in `PushProvider` process must NOT call ActivityKit. Detect via `Current.isAppExtension` and relay via a local `UNNotificationRequest` instead:
+  ```swift
+  // In handler, inside PushProvider process:
+  if Current.isAppExtension {
+      let relay = UNMutableNotificationContent()
+      relay.categoryIdentifier = "HA_LIVE_ACTIVITY_RELAY"
+      relay.userInfo = payload
+      let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: UUID().uuidString, content: relay, trigger: nil)
+      UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(request)
+      return
+  }
+  // Otherwise (main app process), call ActivityKit directly
+  ```
+  The main app's `NotificationManager.userNotificationCenter(_:didReceive:)` handles the relayed notification and calls the registry.
+
+- [ ] **Push token observation task** — Inside `LiveActivityRegistry`, for each started activity:
+  ```swift
+  let observationTask = Task {
+      for await tokenData in activity.pushTokenUpdates {
+          guard !Task.isCancelled else { break }
+          let tokenHex = tokenData.map { String(format: "%02x", $0) }.joined()
+          // Wrap in background task to prevent suspension mid-report
+          let bgTask = await UIApplication.shared.beginBackgroundTask(withName: "la-token-update")
+          defer { UIApplication.shared.endBackgroundTask(bgTask) }
+          await reportPushToken(tokenHex, activityID: activityID)
+      }
+      // Stream ends when activity ends — self-clean
+      await remove(id: activityID)
+  }
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Activity lifecycle observer** — Inside the same task, also observe `activity.activityStateUpdates`:
+  ```swift
+  for await state in activity.activityStateUpdates {
+      if state == .dismissed || state == .ended {
+          await reportActivityDismissed(activityID: activityID, reason: state == .dismissed ? "user_dismissed" : "ended")
+          await registry.remove(id: activityID)
+          break
+      }
+  }
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Push token reporting webhook** — POST to HA via existing `WebhookManager.send(server:request:)`, no new webhook response type needed:
+  ```swift
+  let request = WebhookRequest(
+      type: "mobile_app_live_activity_token",
+      data: ["activity_id": activityID, "push_token": tokenHex, "apns_environment": apnsEnvironment]
+  )
+  Current.webhooks.send(server: server, request: request)
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Activity dismissal webhook** — POST `mobile_app_live_activity_dismissed` event to HA when activity state becomes `.dismissed` or `.ended` externally. This is critical so HA stops sending updates.
+
+- [ ] **Capability advertisement** — Add `supports_live_activities: Bool` and `supports_live_activities_frequent_updates: Bool` and `min_live_activities_ios_version: "16.1"` to `buildMobileAppRegistration()` `app_data` dict in `HAAPI.swift`, under `#if os(iOS)` + `#available(iOS 16.1, *)`.
+
+- [ ] **Server version gate** — Add to `AppConstants.swift`:
+  ```swift
+  public extension Version {
+      static let liveActivities: Version = .init(major: 2026, minor: 6, prerelease: "any0")
+  }
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **APNs environment tracking** — Determine sandbox vs production at registration time and include `apns_environment: "sandbox" | "production"` in every token report webhook. The relay server uses this to route to the correct APNs endpoint. Tokens from one environment are rejected by the other.
+
+- [ ] **Update debounce** — Add a trailing-edge debounce (250ms minimum) in the update handler. High-frequency HA sensors can fire many events per second; the system silently drops excess `Activity.update(...)` calls after consuming CPU.
+
+**Research Insights — Phase 2:**
+
+**PromiseKit bridge pattern** (matches existing handler protocol):
+```swift
+struct HandlerStartLiveActivity: NotificationCommandHandler {
+    func handle(_ payload: [String: Any]) -> Promise<Void> {
+        let (promise, seal) = Promise<Void>.pending()
+        Task {
+            do {
+                try await LiveActivityRegistry.shared.start(payload: payload)
+                seal.fulfill(())
+            } catch ActivityAuthorizationError.activitiesDisabled {
+                seal.fulfill(()) // User choice — not an error
+            } catch ActivityAuthorizationError.globalMaximumExceeded {
+                seal.reject(LiveActivityError.tooManyActivities)
+            } catch {
+                seal.reject(error)
+            }
+        }
+        return promise
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**`ActivityAuthorizationError` cases to handle:**
+- `.activitiesDisabled` — user turned off Live Activities in Settings → report to HA, no crash
+- `.globalMaximumExceeded` — device limit hit (~2-3 concurrent) → report error to HA
+- `.attributesTooLarge` — payload too big → reject with useful error message
+- `.pushUpdatesDisabled` — iOS 17.2+ user toggle → report to HA so it knows not to send APNs updates
+
+**iOS 18 rate limit reality:** Effective minimum update interval is ~15 seconds. HA automations should be designed to fire at most 4 times per minute for non-timer use cases. Build this guidance into companion documentation.
+
+**Success criteria:**
+- Sending `action: notify.mobile_app_<device>` with `message: start_live_activity` starts a Live Activity
+- Sending `message: update_live_activity` updates state
+- Sending `message: end_live_activity` dismisses the activity
+- Push token is successfully delivered to HA server via encrypted webhook
+- Activity dismissal (user swipe or 8-hour expiry) is reported back to HA server
+- `supports_live_activities: true` appears in HA device registry
+
+---
+
+#### Phase 3: APNs Push-to-Start (Remote Start, iOS 17.2+)
+
+**Goal:** Allow HA automations to start a Live Activity entirely remotely (app not required in foreground).
+
+**⚠️ Important caveat:** Push-to-start from a fully terminated app succeeds only ~50% of the time. Design this as a best-effort enhancement, not the primary flow. The primary flow is notification command → app receives push → main app starts activity.
+
+**Tasks:**
+
+- [ ] **Push-to-start token observation** — In `LiveActivityRegistry` or `AppDelegate`:
+  ```swift
+  @available(iOS 17.2, *)
+  func observePushToStartToken() {
+      Task {
+          for await tokenData in Activity<HALiveActivityAttributes>.pushToStartTokenUpdates {
+              let tokenHex = tokenData.map { String(format: "%02x", $0) }.joined()
+              // Store in Keychain (NOT UserDefaults — higher-value secret)
+              Current.keychain.set(tokenHex, forKey: "live_activity_push_to_start_token")
+              await reportPushToStartToken(tokenHex)
+          }
+      }
+  }
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Registration payload extension** — Extend `buildMobileAppRegistration()` / `buildMobileAppUpdateRegistration()` in `HAAPI.swift` to include `live_activity_push_to_start_token` in `app_data` when available (iOS 17.2+ only).
+
+- [ ] **`NSSupportsLiveActivitiesFrequentUpdates`** — Add to `Sources/App/Resources/Info.plist`. Required for push-to-start token to be issued. Also exposes user toggle in iOS Settings. Observe `ActivityAuthorizationInfo().activityEnablementUpdates` to detect when user toggles this off and report to HA.
+
+- [ ] **`frequentPushesEnabled` reporting** — Report the current value of `ActivityAuthorizationInfo().frequentPushesEnabled` (iOS 17.2+) to HA via registration/update payload. HA server must not send high-frequency pushes when this is `false`.
+
+- [ ] **APNs payload format** — Document in companion docs. Key constraints:
+  - `attributes-type` must exactly match Swift struct name (`"HALiveActivityAttributes"`) — **immutable post-ship**
+  - `apns-push-type: liveactivity` header required
+  - `apns-topic: io.robbie.HomeAssistant.push-type.liveactivity`
+  - JWT auth only (`.p8` key) — certificate auth is not supported for Live Activities
+  - APNs environment must match token environment (sandbox vs production)
+
+  ```json
+  {
+    "aps": {
+      "timestamp": 1234567890,
+      "event": "start",
+      "content-state": {
+        "state": "Running",
+        "value": 0.65,
+        "unit": null,
+        "iconName": "mdi:washing-machine",
+        "color": "#4CAF50"
+      },
+      "attributes-type": "HALiveActivityAttributes",
+      "attributes": {
+        "activityID": "washer-cycle-abc123",
+        "title": "Washing Machine"
+      },
+      "alert": {
+        "title": "Washer Started",
+        "body": "Cycle in progress"
+      },
+      "stale-date": 1234571490,
+      "relevance-score": 0.5
+    }
+  }
+  ```
+
+- [ ] **Relay server changes** (documented for HA core team) — The relay at `mobile-apps.home-assistant.io` must:
+  - Add a new endpoint for Live Activity push forwarding (separate from standard notification path because APNs headers differ)
+  - Support `apns-push-type: liveactivity` and the `.push-type.liveactivity` topic suffix
+  - Cache the JWT in memory, rotate every 45 minutes (not per-request)
+  - Route to sandbox vs production APNs endpoint based on `apns_environment` field from the app
+  - Handle `BadDeviceToken (400)` response as a signal to invalidate the stored token
+
+**Success criteria:**
+- HA automation can start a Live Activity on iOS 17.2+ device without app being open (best-effort)
+- Push-to-start token stored in Keychain, reported to HA via registration payload
+- Token refresh handled automatically via `pushToStartTokenUpdates`
+- Relay server routes to correct APNs environment
+
+---
+
+#### Phase 4: UI Polish & Settings
+
+**Goal:** Provide configuration options and polished layouts.
+
+**Tasks:**
+
+- [ ] **Settings section** — Add "Live Activities" section to existing `NotificationSettingsViewController` hierarchy showing:
+  - Live Activities enabled status (links to iOS Settings if disabled)
+  - Active activities list (enumerate `Activity<HALiveActivityAttributes>.activities`)
+  - "End All Activities" button
+  - Frequent updates toggle status (iOS 17.2+)
+
+- [ ] **Material Design Icon rendering** — Use existing `MaterialDesignIcons` integration (verify the font resource bundle is included in the Widgets extension target, as it is for standard widgets). MDI slugs decode at view construction time, not in the view body.
+
+- [ ] **Privacy disclosure** — One-time warning when first Live Activity is started: "Live Activity content is visible on your Lock Screen without Face ID or Touch ID. Choose entities carefully." Stored as a `UserDefaults` seen-flag.
+
+- [ ] **Timer layout** — Use `ActivityKit`'s native timer support to show countdown with zero additional push updates:
+  ```swift
+  Text(timerInterval: startDate...endDate, countsDown: true)
+  ```
+  No update pushes needed for timer progress — the system handles animation natively.
+
+- [ ] **User-facing documentation** — Companion docs PR with automation YAML examples
+
+**Deferred (separate issues):**
+- `activityType` enum for specialized layouts — APNs schema compatibility risk; open a separate issue when demand is proven
+- Multiple specialized `ActivityAttributes` types (media player, delivery tracking)
+
+**Success criteria:**
+- Users can see and manage active Live Activities from app settings
+- Icons render correctly from MDI slugs
+- Privacy disclosure shown once before first use
+- Timers animate without any server-sent updates
+
+---
+
+## Alternative Approaches Considered
+
+| Approach | Verdict | Reason |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Strongly-typed activity per use case** (TimerActivity, MediaActivity) | Rejected for MVP | Too prescriptive; HA's flexibility demands a generic model; APNs `attributes-type` string is immutable |
+| **Separate Live Activity extension target** | Rejected | WidgetKit extension already exists; ActivityKit views belong in the same `Widgets` target |
+| **WebSocket-only updates (no APNs)** | Phase 1-2 only (local push) | APNs push-to-start needed for background start; update pushes from relay for remote update |
+| **`LiveActivityManager` class on AppEnvironment from day one** | Deferred | No testability requirement proven yet; call ActivityKit from handlers directly in Phase 1-2; extract manager when tests require mocking |
+| **`[String: Activity<T>]` parallel dictionary** | Rejected | System provides `Activity<T>.activities` as authoritative list; parallel dictionary adds crash-recovery gap |
+| **New `WebhookResponseLiveActivityToken` type** | Rejected | Existing `WebhookRequest(type:data:)` + `Current.webhooks.send(...)` handles token reporting without new types |
+
+---
+
+## System-Wide Impact
+
+### Interaction Graph
+
+`HA automation fires` → `mobile_app.send_message service` → `FCM relay` → `APNs` → `Main app NotificationManager.didReceiveRemoteNotification` → `NotificationCommandManager.handle(_:)` → `HandlerStartLiveActivity.handle(_:)` → `LiveActivityRegistry.reserve(id:)` → `Activity<HALiveActivityAttributes>.request(...)` → `Activity.pushTokenUpdates` async stream → `WebhookManager.send(...)` `mobile_app_live_activity_token` → `HA server stores token` → `HA server → relay → APNs update pushes directly to activity token`.
+
+**PushProvider path** (separate process): `PushProvider receives push` → `NotificationCommandManager.handle(_:)` → `HandlerStartLiveActivity` detects `Current.isAppExtension == true` → posts relay `UNNotificationRequest` → `Main app NotificationManager.userNotificationCenter(_:didReceive:)` → same path as above.
+
+### Error & Failure Propagation
+
+- `Activity.request(...)` throws `ActivityAuthorizationError`:
+  - `.activitiesDisabled` — user toggle off or iPad → report to HA via webhook event `mobile_app_live_activity_start_failed`, reason: `activities_disabled`; no user-visible error
+  - `.globalMaximumExceeded` — system limit hit → report to HA, suggest ending existing activity
+  - `.attributesTooLarge` — payload over ~4KB → log error with field sizes; do not surface crash
+- Push token reporting failure (network offline) → `WebhookManager` retry logic handles it; the `pushTokenUpdates` stream will also re-emit on next rotation
+- Activity dismissed externally → `activityStateUpdates` emits `.dismissed` → `LiveActivityRegistry` removes entry and POSTs `mobile_app_live_activity_dismissed` webhook to HA
+- Activity reaches 8-hour system limit → same path as above; HA stops sending updates
+
+### State Lifecycle Risks
+
+- **App crash with activities running**: Activities persist on Lock Screen; `LiveActivityRegistry.activities` dictionary is in-memory only. On relaunch, `Activity<HALiveActivityAttributes>.activities` (system list) restores tracking. **Must call this at app launch before handling any push commands.**
+- **TOCTOU duplicate start**: Two pushes arrive with same `activityID` — reservation pattern in `actor LiveActivityRegistry` prevents both from reaching `Activity.request(...)`. Second caller gets `false` from `reserve(id:)` and updates instead.
+- **App update changes `ContentState`**: Adding optional fields is safe (APNs uses JSON, extras ignored). Removing or renaming fields breaks existing activities. Never rename `ContentState` properties post-ship.
+
+### API Surface Parity
+
+- `NotificationCommandManager` registers 3 new command handlers — both the main app and `PushProvider` initialize `NotificationCommandManager`; the `PushProvider` instance's handlers must relay, not execute, ActivityKit calls
+- `HAAPI.buildMobileAppRegistration()` must include capability fields; `updateRegistration()` must also update them to handle token refresh and OS upgrade scenarios
+
+### Integration Test Scenarios
+
+1. Start activity via FCM push → token reported to HA → HA sends APNs update via relay → state visible on Lock Screen within 15s (iOS 18 rate limit budget)
+2. App backgrounded → WebSocket local push arrives → activity updates without app foregrounding
+3. Two simultaneous `start_live_activity` pushes with same `activityID` arrive 5ms apart → reservation pattern ensures only one activity created
+4. iOS 15 device receives `start_live_activity` push → `#available` guard fires → `NotificationCommandManager` still processes other commands normally, no crash
+5. Activity reaches 8-hour limit → `activityStateUpdates` fires → `mobile_app_live_activity_dismissed` webhook sent to HA → HA stops sending updates
+6. `PushProvider` receives `start_live_activity` push → relay local notification posted → main app receives it → activity starts correctly
+
+---
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Lock Screen Data Exposure (Critical)
+
+Live Activity content is visible on the Lock Screen before Face ID/Touch ID authentication. This is not controllable at the OS level — any data in `ContentState` that the view renders may be seen by anyone who picks up the device.
+
+**Required mitigations:**
+- **Privacy consent gate**: Show a one-time alert before the first activity starts: "Live Activity content, including the entity state you choose, will be visible on your Lock Screen without authentication." Store seen-flag in `UserDefaults`.
+- **Documentation**: Companion docs must explicitly warn users not to use Live Activities for alarm armed/disarmed state, lock status, presence information, or health data.
+- **Redacted lock screen mode** (Phase 4): Allow users to opt into a "private" mode that shows only the activity title and icon on the lock screen, with full state only when unlocked.
+
+### Push Token Security (High)
+
+Activity push tokens are direct-to-device APNs credentials. If stolen, an attacker can push arbitrary content to an active Live Activity.
+
+**Required mitigations:**
+- **Keychain storage**: Push-to-start tokens must be stored in the Keychain, not `UserDefaults`. The existing push token (`pushID`) uses `UserDefaults` — do not follow this pattern for the more sensitive Live Activity tokens.
+- **No crash reporter logging**: Activity push tokens and push-to-start tokens must NOT be set as crash reporter user properties. Do not follow the existing `APNS Token` / `FCM Token` pattern in `NotificationManager.swift` for these values.
+- **Encrypted webhook only**: The `mobile_app_live_activity_token` webhook request must be sent only when `server.info.connection.webhookSecretBytes(version:)` is non-nil. If encryption is unavailable, queue and retry rather than sending plaintext.
+- **Token invalidation on activity end**: When `HandlerEndLiveActivity` ends an activity, POST a `mobile_app_live_activity_dismissed` event so HA can discard the stored token.
+
+### Source Authentication (High)
+
+The existing `NotificationCommandManager` dispatches commands based on payload content alone, with no verification that the push originated from the registered HA server.
+
+**Required mitigation**: `HandlerStartLiveActivity` must verify that the inbound push carries a `webhook_id` matching a registered server before calling ActivityKit. Use `ServerManager.server(for:)` at `Sources/Shared/API/ServerManager.swift` — this check already exists for routing but must be applied at the command handler level.
+
+### Input Validation (Medium)
+
+All server-supplied strings (`activityID`, `color`, `iconName`) must be validated before use:
+- `activityID`: max 64 chars, `[a-zA-Z0-9\-_]` only
+- `color`: must match `/^#?[0-9A-Fa-f]{6}([0-9A-Fa-f]{2})?$/` before passing to hex parser
+- `iconName`: max 64 chars; the MDI lookup is safe by design (no filesystem access), but enforce length
+
+None of these values should be interpolated raw into log statements.
+
+---
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Update Frequency
+
+Apple's rate limiting changed significantly in iOS 18:
+- **iOS 17 and earlier**: ~1 update/second sustained
+- **iOS 18+**: ~15 seconds minimum between updates (enforced silently — the server receives HTTP 200 but the device ignores excess pushes)
+- **With `NSSupportsLiveActivitiesFrequentUpdates`**: Higher budget, but still subject to iOS 18 device-level throttling
+
+**Implication**: Design HA automations to send Live Activity updates only on actual state changes, not on a timer. A HA energy sensor updating every second should NOT trigger a push on every update — the automation should debounce or use a minimum change threshold.
+
+**Client-side debounce**: The `HandlerUpdateLiveActivity` should impose a 250ms trailing-edge debounce before calling `Activity.update(...)`. High-frequency local push events (WebSocket) would otherwise submit excessive updates.
+
+### Battery Impact
+
+Each `Activity.update(...)` call wakes SpringBoard's render server (out-of-process). At 1 Hz sustained: ~3-5% additional battery drain per hour. Recommend the `NSSupportsLiveActivitiesFrequentUpdates` entitlement be surfaced to users as "High-frequency updates (increased battery usage)" — do not enable it unconditionally.
+
+For timer-style countdowns: use `Text(timerInterval:countsDown:)` instead of sending value updates — the system animates the countdown natively at 0 battery cost.
+
+---
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+### Functional Requirements — Android Feature Parity (MVP)
+
+- [ ] An existing Android Live Notification automation works on iOS with only the addition of `live_activity: true` in `data`
+- [ ] `tag` field is used as the activity identifier — same `tag` updates the existing activity (no new one created)
+- [ ] `title` and `message` display in the Live Activity (matching Android `title`/`message` fields)
+- [ ] `progress` and `progress_max` display as a progress bar in the Live Activity (matching Android)
+- [ ] `color` applies as the accent color (matching Android)
+- [ ] `icon` renders the MDI icon slug (matching Android)
+- [ ] `message: clear_notification` with `tag` ends both the Live Activity AND any delivered `UNNotification` with the same identifier
+- [ ] On iOS < 16.1 or iPad, `live_activity: true` is ignored; a regular notification banner is shown instead (graceful fallback — no automation changes required)
+- [ ] Sending a second notification with the same `tag` silently updates the existing activity (no dismissal, no sound — equivalent to Android's `alert_once: true` behavior)
+
+### Functional Requirements — iOS Enhancements Beyond Android
+
+- [ ] Activities display in the Dynamic Island (compact, minimal, expanded) in addition to Lock Screen
+- [ ] On iOS 17.2+, a HA automation can remotely start a Live Activity without the app being open (best-effort)
+- [ ] Push tokens are sent to HA server (encrypted webhook) so it can update activities via APNs directly
+- [ ] Activity dismissal (user swipe, 8-hour limit) is reported back to HA via `mobile_app_live_activity_dismissed` webhook
+- [ ] `supports_live_activities: true` appears in HA mobile app integration device registry
+- [ ] Multiple concurrent activities are supported (respecting iOS system limits of ~2-3)
+- [ ] Privacy consent alert shown once before first use
+
+### Non-Functional Requirements
+
+- [ ] No impact on startup time on devices not using Live Activities
+- [ ] All code gated with `#available(iOS 16.1, *)` where required; `#if canImport(ActivityKit)` in Shared
+- [ ] Live Activity views pass light/dark mode screenshot review on all Dynamic Island presentations
+- [ ] Push tokens never logged to crash reporter (Crashlytics/Sentry)
+- [ ] Push-to-start token stored in Keychain, not `UserDefaults`
+- [ ] `activityID` input validated (max 64 chars, restricted charset) before use
+
+### Quality Gates
+
+- [ ] Linting passes: `bundle exec fastlane lint` (SwiftFormat + SwiftLint)
+- [ ] Unit tests for `LiveActivityRegistry` actor (start/update/end/deduplication/TOCTOU reservation)
+- [ ] Unit tests for each notification command handler (with mocked `LiveActivityRegistry`)
+- [ ] Unit tests for `HandlerStartLiveActivity` in PushProvider context — verifies relay path, not ActivityKit call
+- [ ] Manual test on physical device (iOS 16.1, iOS 16.2 for `ActivityContent` API, iOS 17.2+ for push-to-start)
+- [ ] Screenshots for all Dynamic Island presentations (compact, minimal, expanded) and Lock Screen for PR

+## Success Metrics
+
+- Zero crash reports related to Live Activity on iOS < 16.1 or iPad (via Sentry)

+- Feature adopted by community within 30 days of HA server support landing
+- GitHub discussion #84 closed/referenced
+
+---
+
+## Open Questions (Require Resolution Before or During Implementation)
+
+1. **Deployment target**: Should the iOS minimum deployment target be raised from 15.0 to 16.1 when Live Activities ship? Or keep 15.0 with `#available` guards? (Recommend: keep 15.0, use `#available` guards)
+
+2. **Dismissal policy default**: When HA sends `end_live_activity`, should the activity linger (`DismissalPolicy.default` — up to 4 hours showing final state) or dismiss immediately (`DismissalPolicy.immediate`)? Recommend exposing as optional `dismissal_policy` field in the end payload.
+
+3. **iPad handling**: On iPad where `areActivitiesEnabled == false`, should the app send a webhook back to HA indicating the device doesn't support Live Activities? This would allow HA to suppress the notification option for iPad.
+
+4. **Multiple servers**: If the user has multiple HA servers registered, should a `start_live_activity` push be scoped to the originating server via `webhook_id`? Recommend: yes, and the `webhook_id` check in the handler enforces this.

+### Cross-Platform Automation Example (Complete)
+
+This single automation targets both Android 16+ and iOS 16.1+. On older Android it gracefully falls back to a standard notification; on iOS < 16.1 or iPad it falls back to a regular banner.
+
+```yaml
+# automation.yaml — washer cycle tracker (works on Android + iOS)

-
-## Enhancement Summary
-
-**Deepened on:** 2026-03-18
-**Research agents used:** ActivityKit framework docs, APNs best practices, security sentinel, architecture strategist, performance oracle, spec-flow analyzer, code simplicity reviewer, async race conditions reviewer
-
-### Key Improvements Added
-1. **Critical process boundary constraint**: `PushProvider` (network extension) cannot call ActivityKit — it runs in a separate OS process. All handlers in the extension must relay to the main app via `UNUserNotificationCenter`. This would have caused silent failures at runtime.
-2. **API version split**: The `Activity.request(attributes:contentState:pushType:)` API was deprecated in iOS 16.2 and replaced with `Activity.request(attributes:content:pushType:)` using `ActivityContent`. Code must handle both.
-3. **iOS 18 rate limit change**: Apple changed update rate limiting to ~15s minimum between updates in iOS 18. Design must not assume 1 Hz is reliably achievable.
-4. **Actor isolation required**: The `[String: Activity<T>]` dictionary will be accessed from multiple threads/queues. Must use a Swift `actor` with a reservation pattern to prevent TOCTOU races.
-5. **Simplification**: Remove `updatedAt: Date` and `secondaryState` from MVP `ContentState`. Consolidate 3 handler files to 1. Use `Activity<T>.activities` instead of a parallel dictionary.
-6. **Push-to-start unreliability**: Push-to-start from a fully terminated app has ~50% success rate. The primary flow must be foreground-initiated; push-to-start is best-effort only.
-7. **Security**: Activity push tokens must be stored in Keychain (not `UserDefaults`), never logged to crash reporters, and only transmitted over the encrypted webhook channel.
-
-### New Considerations Discovered
-- `attributes-type` in APNs push-to-start payload must exactly match the Swift struct name — case-sensitive, immutable post-ship
-- Certificate-based APNs auth is not supported for Live Activities; relay server must use JWT (`.p8` key)
-- iOS 18 changes update budgets significantly; `NSSupportsLiveActivitiesFrequentUpdates` should be opt-in per activity
-- `NotificationService` extension is never invoked for `apns-push-type: liveactivity` pushes
-- iPad has `areActivitiesEnabled == false` — must handle gracefully without crash
-- App must report capability (`supports_live_activities: Bool`) in registration payload so HA server can gate the UI

-## Overview
-
-Implement iOS Live Activities using Apple's ActivityKit framework so that Home Assistant automations can display real-time data on the iOS Lock Screen and Dynamic Island. This is a highly requested community feature (discussion #84). The Android companion app already ships this via persistent/ongoing notifications with tag-based in-place updates. The goal is **feature parity with Android** using the same notification field names so automations can target both platforms with minimal differences.
-
----
-
-## Android Feature Baseline (What We're Matching)
-
-The Android companion app has **two tiers** of live/updating notifications:
-
-### Tier 1: `alert_once: true` + `tag` (any Android version)
-Standard notifications updated in-place. Subsequent pushes with the same `tag` replace the notification without re-alerting.
-
-### Tier 2: `live_update: true` (Android 16+ only) — the primary target
-Android 16's native **Live Updates API**. Pins the notification to:
-- Status bar as a **chip** showing `critical_text` or a live `chronometer`
-- Lock screen (persistent, doesn't scroll away)
-- Always-on display
-
-This is the direct Android equivalent of iOS Live Activities.
-
-```yaml
-# Android 16+: Live Update with progress bar and countdown timer
-action: notify.mobile_app_<device>
-data:
-  title: "Washing Machine"         # required for live_update
-  message: "Cycle in progress"
-  data:
-    tag: washer_cycle              # unique ID for in-place updates
-    live_update: true              # Android 16+: pin to status bar chip + lock screen
-    critical_text: "45 min"        # short text shown in status bar chip
-    progress: 2700                 # current value (raw integer)
-    progress_max: 3600             # maximum value
-    chronometer: true              # show countdown timer instead of critical_text
-    when: 2700                     # seconds until done (for chronometer)
-    when_relative: true            # treat `when` as duration, not timestamp
-    notification_icon: mdi:washing-machine   # MDI icon for status bar chip
-    notification_icon_color: "#2196F3"       # icon accent color
-    alert_once: true               # also works on older Android: silent updates
-    sticky: true                   # non-dismissible by user
-    visibility: public             # visible on lock screen
-
-# Android: dismiss it
-action: notify.mobile_app_<device>
-data:
-  message: clear_notification
-  data:
-    tag: washer_cycle
-```
-
-**Key Android `live_update` fields:**
-
-| Field | Type | Purpose |
-|---|---|---|
-| `live_update` | bool | Enable Android 16 Live Updates API |
-| `tag` | string | Unique ID — same tag = update in-place |
-| `title` | string | Required for `live_update` |
-| `message` | string | Body text |
-| `critical_text` | string | Short text in status bar chip |
-| `chronometer` | bool | Show live countdown instead of `critical_text` |
-| `when` | int | Seconds for the countdown / timestamp |
-| `when_relative` | bool | Treat `when` as relative duration |
-| `progress` | int | Current progress value (raw integer) |
-| `progress_max` | int | Maximum progress value |
-| `notification_icon` | string | MDI slug for status bar icon |
-| `notification_icon_color` | string | Hex color for icon |
-| `alert_once` | bool | Silence subsequent alerts (older Android fallback) |
-| `sticky` | bool | Non-dismissible |
-| `visibility` | string | `public` = visible on lock screen |
-

-## Problem Statement / Motivation
-
-Home Assistant users frequently need to monitor time-sensitive states (a washer finishing, a door left open, a timer counting down, a media player progress bar) without constantly opening the app. iOS 16.1 introduced Live Activities via ActivityKit specifically for this use case. Android users already have this capability. iOS companion app users have no equivalent.
-
----
-
-## Proposed Solution
-
-Implement iOS Live Activities triggered by the **same notification fields Android uses**. The iOS opt-in field `live_activity: true` mirrors Android's `live_update: true`. All other field names (`tag`, `title`, `message`, `progress`, `progress_max`, `chronometer`, `when`, `when_relative`, `notification_icon`, `notification_icon_color`) are shared between both platforms.
-
-```yaml
-# Works on BOTH Android 16+ and iOS 16.1+:
-
-action: notify.mobile_app_<device>
-data:
-  title: "Washing Machine"
-  message: "45 minutes remaining"
-  data:
-    tag: washer_cycle                      # iOS & Android: unique ID for in-place updates
-    live_update: true                      # Android 16+: pin to status bar chip + lock screen
-    live_activity: true                    # iOS 16.1+: use Live Activity (Android ignores)
-    critical_text: "45 min"               # Android: status bar chip text. iOS: Dynamic Island compact trailing
-    progress: 2700                         # iOS & Android: current value (raw integer)
-    progress_max: 3600                     # iOS & Android: maximum value
-    chronometer: true                      # iOS & Android: show countdown timer
-    when: 2700                             # seconds remaining (used with chronometer)
-    when_relative: true                    # treat `when` as duration from now
-    notification_icon: mdi:washing-machine # iOS & Android: MDI icon slug
-    notification_icon_color: "#2196F3"    # iOS & Android: icon accent color
-    alert_once: true                       # Android: silent updates. iOS: ignored (always silent)
-    sticky: true                           # Android: non-dismissible. iOS: ignored (always persistent)
-    visibility: public                     # Android: lock screen. iOS: ignored (always public)
-
-# Dismiss — identical on both platforms:
-action: notify.mobile_app_<device>
-data:
-  message: clear_notification
-  data:
-    tag: washer_cycle
-```
-
-**iOS field mapping:**
-
-| Companion docs field | iOS Live Activity mapping | Notes |
-|---|---|---|
-| `live_update: true` | — | Android-only opt-in; iOS uses `live_activity: true` |
-| `live_activity: true` | Triggers Live Activity | Android ignores unknown fields |
-| `tag` | `HALiveActivityAttributes.tag` | Same semantics: same tag = update in-place |
-| `title` | `HALiveActivityAttributes.title` | Static attribute, set at activity creation |
-| `message` | `ContentState.message` | Primary state text |
-| `critical_text` | Dynamic Island compact trailing text | Short label (≤~10 chars) |
-| `progress` | `ContentState.progress` | Raw integer |
-| `progress_max` | `ContentState.progressMax` | Raw integer; fraction computed for SwiftUI |
-| `chronometer: true` | `Text(timerInterval:countsDown:)` | Native iOS — zero battery cost, hardware-smooth |
-| `when` + `when_relative` | Countdown end `Date` = `now + when` seconds | Converted to absolute `Date` for ActivityKit |
-| `notification_icon` | `ContentState.icon` | MDI slug |
-| `notification_icon_color` | `ContentState.color` | Hex string |
-| `alert_once`, `sticky`, `visibility` | Ignored | Live Activities handle these natively |
-| `clear_notification` + `tag` | Ends Live Activity + clears UNNotification | Same YAML, both platforms |
-
-On iOS < 16.1 or iPad, `live_activity: true` is ignored and the notification falls through as a regular banner — graceful degradation with no automation changes needed.
-
-The `ActivityAttributes` schema is wire-format stable: fields are only ever added, never renamed or removed, to maintain APNs compatibility across app updates.

-
-### iOS Version Requirements
-
-| Feature | Minimum iOS |
-|---|---|
-| ActivityKit (basic) | **iOS 16.1** |
-| `ActivityContent` / `staleDate` / updated API | **iOS 16.2** |
-| Push-to-start (remote start) | **iOS 17.2** |
-| `frequentPushesEnabled` user toggle | **iOS 17.2** |
-| Current deployment target | iOS 15.0 |
-
-All ActivityKit code must be wrapped in `#available(iOS 16.1, *)`. Use `#available(iOS 16.2, *)` for `ActivityContent` (the updated API). Push-to-start token registration must be wrapped in `#available(iOS 17.2, *)`. The UI must degrade gracefully on older OS versions (simply absent). iPad returns `areActivitiesEnabled == false` — must not crash.
-
-### Critical API Version Split (iOS 16.1 vs 16.2)
-
-The `Activity.request(...)` API changed in iOS 16.2. Both paths must be handled:
-
-```swift
-// iOS 16.1 only (deprecated — supports deployment target iOS 15+):
-let activity = try Activity<HALiveActivityAttributes>.request(
-    attributes: attributes,
-    contentState: initialState,   // ← "contentState:" label
-    pushType: .token
-)
-
-// iOS 16.2+ (preferred):
-let content = ActivityContent(
-    state: initialState,
-    staleDate: Date().addingTimeInterval(30 * 60),
-    relevanceScore: 0.5
-)
-let activity = try Activity<HALiveActivityAttributes>.request(
-    attributes: attributes,
-    content: content,             // ← "content:" label (ActivityContent wrapper)
-    pushType: .token
-)
-```
-
-Similarly, `activity.update(using:)` is iOS 16.1 only; use `activity.update(_:)` with `ActivityContent` on iOS 16.2+.
-
----
-
-### Implementation Phases
-
-#### Phase 1: Foundation — Data Model & Basic Local Start/End
-
-**Goal:** Define the ActivityKit data model and be able to start/end a Live Activity from within the app (local only, no push).
-
-**Tasks:**
-
-- [ ] **`HALiveActivityAttributes.swift`** — Define the `ActivityAttributes` conforming struct in `Sources/Shared/LiveActivity/` behind `#if canImport(ActivityKit)`. This file must be compiled into BOTH the `iOS-App` target and `Extensions-Widgets` target (via `Shared.framework`). The `attributes-type` string in APNs payloads must exactly match the Swift struct name — **never rename this struct post-ship**.
-
-  ```swift
-  // Sources/Shared/LiveActivity/HALiveActivityAttributes.swift
-  #if canImport(ActivityKit)
-  import ActivityKit
-
-  public struct HALiveActivityAttributes: ActivityAttributes {
-      // Static: set once at activity creation, cannot change
-      // These map from the initial notification payload fields
-      public let tag: String           // = Android's `tag` field; unique ID for this activity
-      public let title: String         // = Android's `title` field
-
-      // Dynamic: updated via push or local update
-      // Field names intentionally mirror Android companion docs notification fields
-      public struct ContentState: Codable, Hashable {
-          public var message: String          // = `message`. Primary state text
-          public var criticalText: String?    // = `critical_text`. Short text for Dynamic Island compact trailing
-          public var progress: Int?           // = `progress`. Current value (raw integer)
-          public var progressMax: Int?        // = `progress_max`. Maximum value
-          public var chronometer: Bool?       // = `chronometer`. If true, show countdown timer
-          public var countdownEnd: Date?      // = computed from `when` + `when_relative`. Absolute end date for timer
-          public var icon: String?            // = `notification_icon`. MDI slug
-          public var color: String?           // = `notification_icon_color`. Hex string
-
-          // Computed for SwiftUI rendering — not sent over wire
-          public var progressFraction: Double? {
-              guard let p = progress, let m = progressMax, m > 0 else { return nil }
-              return Double(p) / Double(m)
-          }
-      }
-  }
-  #endif
-  ```
-
-  **Payload parsing note:** The handler reads standard notification fields and maps them:
-  - `when` (int, seconds) + `when_relative: true` → `countdownEnd = Date().addingTimeInterval(Double(when))`
-  - `when` as absolute Unix timestamp + `when_relative: false` → `countdownEnd = Date(timeIntervalSince1970: Double(when))`
-  - `notification_icon` → `icon` (stored as-is, MDI slug)
-  - `notification_icon_color` → `color` (same field semantics as Android `color`)
-
-  **Design notes:**
-  - All field names in JSON encoding match Android companion docs field names (via `CodingKeys`)
-  - `progress`/`progress_max` are raw integers (matching Android) — `progressFraction` is computed for SwiftUI
-  - `updatedAt: Date` omitted — system APNs timestamp handles ordering
-  - `unit` deferred — add only when a specific layout requires it
-  - Total encoded size of attributes + ContentState must stay under ~4KB (APNs limit)
-  - **Never rename this struct or its fields post-ship** — `attributes-type` in APNs push-to-start payloads must match the Swift type name exactly
-
-- [ ] **`LiveActivityRegistry.swift`** (actor) — in `Sources/Shared/LiveActivity/`:
-  ```swift
-  // actor protects concurrent access from push handler queue + token observer tasks
-  actor LiveActivityRegistry {
-      struct Entry {
-          let activity: Activity<HALiveActivityAttributes>
-          let observationTask: Task<Void, Never>
-      }
-      private var reserved: Set<String> = []   // TOCTOU protection
-      private var entries: [String: Entry] = []
-
-      /// Returns false if ID is already reserved or running (prevents duplicate start race)
-      func reserve(id: String) -> Bool { ... }
-      func confirmReservation(id: String, entry: Entry) { ... }
-      func cancelReservation(id: String) { ... }
-      func remove(id: String) -> Entry? { ... }
-      func entry(for id: String) -> Entry? { ... }
-  }
-  ```
-  Exposed via `AppEnvironment` as a protocol-typed property under `#if os(iOS)`, following the `notificationAttachmentManager` pattern.
-
-- [ ] **`HandlerLiveActivity.swift`** — One file, three `private struct`s, in `Sources/Shared/Notifications/NotificationCommands/`, consistent with `HandlerUpdateComplications` and `HandlerUpdateWidgets` pattern:
-  - `HandlerStartLiveActivity: NotificationCommandHandler`
-  - `HandlerUpdateLiveActivity: NotificationCommandHandler`
-  - `HandlerEndLiveActivity: NotificationCommandHandler`
-
-- [ ] **Live Activity views** — in `Sources/Extensions/Widgets/LiveActivity/`:
-  - `HALiveActivityConfiguration.swift` — `ActivityConfiguration` wrapper
-  - `HALockScreenView.swift` — Lock Screen / StandBy view (max 160pt height)
-  - `HADynamicIslandView.swift` — All Dynamic Island presentations
-
-- [ ] **Register `ActivityConfiguration`** in `Sources/Extensions/Widgets/Widgets.swift` inside `WidgetsBundle18` with `#available(iOS 16.2, *)` guard
-
-- [ ] **`Info.plist`** — Add `NSSupportsLiveActivities = true` to `Sources/App/Resources/Info.plist`
-
-- [ ] **`AppEnvironment`** — Add `var liveActivityRegistry: LiveActivityRegistryProtocol` under `#if os(iOS)` to `Sources/Shared/Environment/Environment.swift`
-
-- [ ] **App launch recovery** — In `LiveActivityRegistry.init()` or at startup, enumerate `Activity<HALiveActivityAttributes>.activities` to re-attach observation tasks to any activities that survived process termination. This must happen before any push handlers are invoked.
-
-**Research Insights — Phase 1:**
-
-**Xcode Preview support (no device needed for UI iteration):**
-```swift
-#Preview("Lock Screen", as: .content, using: HALiveActivityAttributes(activityID: "test", title: "Washer")) {
-    HALiveActivityConfiguration()
-} contentStates: {
-    HALiveActivityAttributes.ContentState(state: "Running", value: 0.65, unit: nil, iconName: "mdi:washing-machine", color: "#4CAF50")
-    HALiveActivityAttributes.ContentState(state: "Done", value: 1.0, unit: nil, iconName: "mdi:check-circle", color: "#2196F3")
-}
-
-#Preview("Dynamic Island Compact", as: .dynamicIsland(.compact), ...) { ... }
-#Preview("Dynamic Island Expanded", as: .dynamicIsland(.expanded), ...) { ... }
-```
-
-**Lock Screen height budget:** The system hard-truncates at **160 points**. Padding counts against this limit.
-
-**Dynamic Island region layout:**
-```swift
-DynamicIsland {
-    DynamicIslandExpandedRegion(.leading) { /* icon */ }
-    DynamicIslandExpandedRegion(.trailing) { /* value + unit */ }
-    DynamicIslandExpandedRegion(.center) { /* state text */ }
-    DynamicIslandExpandedRegion(.bottom) { /* optional detail, full-width */ }
-} compactLeading: { /* icon only */ }
-  compactTrailing: { /* value, caption2 font */ }
-  minimal: { /* single icon */ }
-```
-
-**Color rendering optimization:** Do NOT parse hex strings in the SwiftUI view body (runs on every render pass in SpringBoard). Pre-parse hex in `ContentState` decoding or use a cached extension:
-```swift
-// Add to ContentState
-var resolvedColor: Color { Color(hex: color ?? "#FFFFFF") }
-```
-
-**`ActivityAuthorizationInfo` check before every start:**
-```swift
-guard ActivityAuthorizationInfo().areActivitiesEnabled else {
-    // Report back to HA via webhook; do not crash
-    return
-}
-```
-
-**Success criteria:**
-- A Live Activity can be started in-app on a physical iOS 16.1+ device
-- The Lock Screen and Dynamic Island show the correct content
-- Activity ends cleanly
-- Xcode Preview shows all 4 presentations without a device
-- On iOS < 16.1 or iPad, code paths are no-ops
-
----
-
-#### Phase 2: Notification Command Integration (Local Push + APNs Update/End)
-
-**Goal:** Enable HA automations to start, update, and end Live Activities via the existing notification command system. Push token is reported to HA so it can send APNs updates directly.
-
-**Tasks:**
-
-- [ ] **`HandlerLiveActivity`** — new `NotificationCommandHandler` registered for command `live_activity`, containing three private structs in one file:
-  - **`HandlerStartOrUpdateLiveActivity`** — triggered when any notification arrives with `data.live_activity: true`
-    - Reads from notification `data` dict: `tag` (required, becomes `activityID`), `title` (required), `message`, `progress`, `progress_max`, `color`, `icon`
-    - Validates `tag`: max 64 chars, `[a-zA-Z0-9\-_]` only
-    - If activity with `tag` already running → **update** (matches Android's tag-based replacement)
-    - If not running → **start** new Live Activity (reservation pattern for TOCTOU safety)
-    - Reports push token to HA server via webhook immediately after start
-  - **`HandlerEndLiveActivity`** — triggered by `message: clear_notification` when notification also has a `tag` that matches a running Live Activity
-    - Integrated into existing `HandlerClearNotification` — check if `tag` matches a running `Activity<HALiveActivityAttributes>`; if so, end it in addition to clearing the UNNotification
-    - Optional `dismissal_policy` field: `immediate` (default), `default` (linger up to 4h), `after:<unix-timestamp>`
-    - If no matching Live Activity, silently succeeds (existing `clear_notification` behavior preserved)
-
-- [ ] **Modify `HandlerClearNotification`** — extend to also end any Live Activity whose `tag` attribute matches:
-  ```swift
-  // In HandlerClearNotification.handle(_:)
-  if #available(iOS 16.1, *), let tag = payload["tag"] as? String {
-      // End matching Live Activity if one exists
-      if let activity = Activity<HALiveActivityAttributes>.activities
-          .first(where: { $0.attributes.tag == tag }) {
-          Task { await activity.end(nil, dismissalPolicy: .immediate) }
-      }
-  }
-  // existing UNUserNotificationCenter.current().removeDeliveredNotifications(...)
-  ```
-
-- [ ] **Register `live_activity` command** in `NotificationsCommandManager.init()` under `#if os(iOS)`
-
-**Platform parity table:**
-
-| Android field | iOS handling | Notes |
-|---|---|---|
-| `tag` | `HALiveActivityAttributes.tag` (activityID) | Same field name, same semantics |
-| `title` | `HALiveActivityAttributes.title` (static) | Same |
-| `message` | `ContentState.message` | Same field name |
-| `progress` | `ContentState.progress` | Same field name, raw integer |
-| `progress_max` | `ContentState.progressMax` | Camel-cased in Swift, `progress_max` in JSON |
-| `color` | `ContentState.color` | Same |
-| `icon` | `ContentState.icon` | Same (MDI slug) |
-| `alert_once` | Ignored — Live Activities are always silent on update | No action needed |
-| `sticky` | Ignored — Live Activities are persistent by nature | No action needed |
-| `visibility: public` | Always public on Lock Screen | No action needed |
-| `live_activity: true` | Triggers Live Activity path | Android ignores unknown fields |
-| `clear_notification` + `tag` | Ends Live Activity AND clears UNNotification | Same YAML works on both |
-
-- [ ] **PushProvider relay** — `HandlerStartLiveActivity`, `HandlerUpdateLiveActivity`, and `HandlerEndLiveActivity` when running in `PushProvider` process must NOT call ActivityKit. Detect via `Current.isAppExtension` and relay via a local `UNNotificationRequest` instead:
-  ```swift
-  // In handler, inside PushProvider process:
-  if Current.isAppExtension {
-      let relay = UNMutableNotificationContent()
-      relay.categoryIdentifier = "HA_LIVE_ACTIVITY_RELAY"
-      relay.userInfo = payload
-      let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: UUID().uuidString, content: relay, trigger: nil)
-      UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(request)
-      return
-  }
-  // Otherwise (main app process), call ActivityKit directly
-  ```
-  The main app's `NotificationManager.userNotificationCenter(_:didReceive:)` handles the relayed notification and calls the registry.
-
-- [ ] **Push token observation task** — Inside `LiveActivityRegistry`, for each started activity:
-  ```swift
-  let observationTask = Task {
-      for await tokenData in activity.pushTokenUpdates {
-          guard !Task.isCancelled else { break }
-          let tokenHex = tokenData.map { String(format: "%02x", $0) }.joined()
-          // Wrap in background task to prevent suspension mid-report
-          let bgTask = await UIApplication.shared.beginBackgroundTask(withName: "la-token-update")
-          defer { UIApplication.shared.endBackgroundTask(bgTask) }
-          await reportPushToken(tokenHex, activityID: activityID)
-      }
-      // Stream ends when activity ends — self-clean
-      await remove(id: activityID)
-  }
-  ```
-
-- [ ] **Activity lifecycle observer** — Inside the same task, also observe `activity.activityStateUpdates`:
-  ```swift
-  for await state in activity.activityStateUpdates {
-      if state == .dismissed || state == .ended {
-          await reportActivityDismissed(activityID: activityID, reason: state == .dismissed ? "user_dismissed" : "ended")
-          await registry.remove(id: activityID)
-          break
-      }
-  }
-  ```
-
-- [ ] **Push token reporting webhook** — POST to HA via existing `WebhookManager.send(server:request:)`, no new webhook response type needed:
-  ```swift
-  let request = WebhookRequest(
-      type: "mobile_app_live_activity_token",
-      data: ["activity_id": activityID, "push_token": tokenHex, "apns_environment": apnsEnvironment]
-  )
-  Current.webhooks.send(server: server, request: request)
-  ```
-
-- [ ] **Activity dismissal webhook** — POST `mobile_app_live_activity_dismissed` event to HA when activity state becomes `.dismissed` or `.ended` externally. This is critical so HA stops sending updates.
-
-- [ ] **Capability advertisement** — Add `supports_live_activities: Bool` and `supports_live_activities_frequent_updates: Bool` and `min_live_activities_ios_version: "16.1"` to `buildMobileAppRegistration()` `app_data` dict in `HAAPI.swift`, under `#if os(iOS)` + `#available(iOS 16.1, *)`.
-
-- [ ] **Server version gate** — Add to `AppConstants.swift`:
-  ```swift
-  public extension Version {
-      static let liveActivities: Version = .init(major: 2026, minor: 6, prerelease: "any0")
-  }
-  ```
-
-- [ ] **APNs environment tracking** — Determine sandbox vs production at registration time and include `apns_environment: "sandbox" | "production"` in every token report webhook. The relay server uses this to route to the correct APNs endpoint. Tokens from one environment are rejected by the other.
-
-- [ ] **Update debounce** — Add a trailing-edge debounce (250ms minimum) in the update handler. High-frequency HA sensors can fire many events per second; the system silently drops excess `Activity.update(...)` calls after consuming CPU.
-
-**Research Insights — Phase 2:**
-
-**PromiseKit bridge pattern** (matches existing handler protocol):
-```swift
-struct HandlerStartLiveActivity: NotificationCommandHandler {
-    func handle(_ payload: [String: Any]) -> Promise<Void> {
-        let (promise, seal) = Promise<Void>.pending()
-        Task {
-            do {
-                try await LiveActivityRegistry.shared.start(payload: payload)
-                seal.fulfill(())
-            } catch ActivityAuthorizationError.activitiesDisabled {
-                seal.fulfill(()) // User choice — not an error
-            } catch ActivityAuthorizationError.globalMaximumExceeded {
-                seal.reject(LiveActivityError.tooManyActivities)
-            } catch {
-                seal.reject(error)
-            }
-        }
-        return promise
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**`ActivityAuthorizationError` cases to handle:**
-- `.activitiesDisabled` — user turned off Live Activities in Settings → report to HA, no crash
-- `.globalMaximumExceeded` — device limit hit (~2-3 concurrent) → report error to HA
-- `.attributesTooLarge` — payload too big → reject with useful error message
-- `.pushUpdatesDisabled` — iOS 17.2+ user toggle → report to HA so it knows not to send APNs updates
-
-**iOS 18 rate limit reality:** Effective minimum update interval is ~15 seconds. HA automations should be designed to fire at most 4 times per minute for non-timer use cases. Build this guidance into companion documentation.
-
-**Success criteria:**
-- Sending `action: notify.mobile_app_<device>` with `message: start_live_activity` starts a Live Activity
-- Sending `message: update_live_activity` updates state
-- Sending `message: end_live_activity` dismisses the activity
-- Push token is successfully delivered to HA server via encrypted webhook
-- Activity dismissal (user swipe or 8-hour expiry) is reported back to HA server
-- `supports_live_activities: true` appears in HA device registry
-
----
-
-#### Phase 3: APNs Push-to-Start (Remote Start, iOS 17.2+)
-
-**Goal:** Allow HA automations to start a Live Activity entirely remotely (app not required in foreground).
-
-**⚠️ Important caveat:** Push-to-start from a fully terminated app succeeds only ~50% of the time. Design this as a best-effort enhancement, not the primary flow. The primary flow is notification command → app receives push → main app starts activity.
-
-**Tasks:**
-
-- [ ] **Push-to-start token observation** — In `LiveActivityRegistry` or `AppDelegate`:
-  ```swift
-  @available(iOS 17.2, *)
-  func observePushToStartToken() {
-      Task {
-          for await tokenData in Activity<HALiveActivityAttributes>.pushToStartTokenUpdates {
-              let tokenHex = tokenData.map { String(format: "%02x", $0) }.joined()
-              // Store in Keychain (NOT UserDefaults — higher-value secret)
-              Current.keychain.set(tokenHex, forKey: "live_activity_push_to_start_token")
-              await reportPushToStartToken(tokenHex)
-          }
-      }
-  }
-  ```
-
-- [ ] **Registration payload extension** — Extend `buildMobileAppRegistration()` / `buildMobileAppUpdateRegistration()` in `HAAPI.swift` to include `live_activity_push_to_start_token` in `app_data` when available (iOS 17.2+ only).
-
-- [ ] **`NSSupportsLiveActivitiesFrequentUpdates`** — Add to `Sources/App/Resources/Info.plist`. Required for push-to-start token to be issued. Also exposes user toggle in iOS Settings. Observe `ActivityAuthorizationInfo().activityEnablementUpdates` to detect when user toggles this off and report to HA.
-
-- [ ] **`frequentPushesEnabled` reporting** — Report the current value of `ActivityAuthorizationInfo().frequentPushesEnabled` (iOS 17.2+) to HA via registration/update payload. HA server must not send high-frequency pushes when this is `false`.
-
-- [ ] **APNs payload format** — Document in companion docs. Key constraints:
-  - `attributes-type` must exactly match Swift struct name (`"HALiveActivityAttributes"`) — **immutable post-ship**
-  - `apns-push-type: liveactivity` header required
-  - `apns-topic: io.robbie.HomeAssistant.push-type.liveactivity`
-  - JWT auth only (`.p8` key) — certificate auth is not supported for Live Activities
-  - APNs environment must match token environment (sandbox vs production)
-
-  ```json
-  {
-    "aps": {
-      "timestamp": 1234567890,
-      "event": "start",
-      "content-state": {
-        "state": "Running",
-        "value": 0.65,
-        "unit": null,
-        "iconName": "mdi:washing-machine",
-        "color": "#4CAF50"
-      },
-      "attributes-type": "HALiveActivityAttributes",
-      "attributes": {
-        "activityID": "washer-cycle-abc123",
-        "title": "Washing Machine"
-      },
-      "alert": {
-        "title": "Washer Started",
-        "body": "Cycle in progress"
-      },
-      "stale-date": 1234571490,
-      "relevance-score": 0.5
-    }
-  }
-  ```
-
-- [ ] **Relay server changes** (documented for HA core team) — The relay at `mobile-apps.home-assistant.io` must:
-  - Add a new endpoint for Live Activity push forwarding (separate from standard notification path because APNs headers differ)
-  - Support `apns-push-type: liveactivity` and the `.push-type.liveactivity` topic suffix
-  - Cache the JWT in memory, rotate every 45 minutes (not per-request)
-  - Route to sandbox vs production APNs endpoint based on `apns_environment` field from the app
-  - Handle `BadDeviceToken (400)` response as a signal to invalidate the stored token
-
-**Success criteria:**
-- HA automation can start a Live Activity on iOS 17.2+ device without app being open (best-effort)
-- Push-to-start token stored in Keychain, reported to HA via registration payload
-- Token refresh handled automatically via `pushToStartTokenUpdates`
-- Relay server routes to correct APNs environment
-
----
-
-#### Phase 4: UI Polish & Settings
-
-**Goal:** Provide configuration options and polished layouts.
-
-**Tasks:**
-
-- [ ] **Settings section** — Add "Live Activities" section to existing `NotificationSettingsViewController` hierarchy showing:
-  - Live Activities enabled status (links to iOS Settings if disabled)
-  - Active activities list (enumerate `Activity<HALiveActivityAttributes>.activities`)
-  - "End All Activities" button
-  - Frequent updates toggle status (iOS 17.2+)
-
-- [ ] **Material Design Icon rendering** — Use existing `MaterialDesignIcons` integration (verify the font resource bundle is included in the Widgets extension target, as it is for standard widgets). MDI slugs decode at view construction time, not in the view body.
-
-- [ ] **Privacy disclosure** — One-time warning when first Live Activity is started: "Live Activity content is visible on your Lock Screen without Face ID or Touch ID. Choose entities carefully." Stored as a `UserDefaults` seen-flag.
-
-- [ ] **Timer layout** — Use `ActivityKit`'s native timer support to show countdown with zero additional push updates:
-  ```swift
-  Text(timerInterval: startDate...endDate, countsDown: true)
-  ```
-  No update pushes needed for timer progress — the system handles animation natively.
-
-- [ ] **User-facing documentation** — Companion docs PR with automation YAML examples
-
-**Deferred (separate issues):**
-- `activityType` enum for specialized layouts — APNs schema compatibility risk; open a separate issue when demand is proven
-- Multiple specialized `ActivityAttributes` types (media player, delivery tracking)
-
-**Success criteria:**
-- Users can see and manage active Live Activities from app settings
-- Icons render correctly from MDI slugs
-- Privacy disclosure shown once before first use
-- Timers animate without any server-sent updates
-
----
-
-## Alternative Approaches Considered
-
-| Approach | Verdict | Reason |
-|---|---|---|
-| **Strongly-typed activity per use case** (TimerActivity, MediaActivity) | Rejected for MVP | Too prescriptive; HA's flexibility demands a generic model; APNs `attributes-type` string is immutable |
-| **Separate Live Activity extension target** | Rejected | WidgetKit extension already exists; ActivityKit views belong in the same `Widgets` target |
-| **WebSocket-only updates (no APNs)** | Phase 1-2 only (local push) | APNs push-to-start needed for background start; update pushes from relay for remote update |
-| **`LiveActivityManager` class on AppEnvironment from day one** | Deferred | No testability requirement proven yet; call ActivityKit from handlers directly in Phase 1-2; extract manager when tests require mocking |
-| **`[String: Activity<T>]` parallel dictionary** | Rejected | System provides `Activity<T>.activities` as authoritative list; parallel dictionary adds crash-recovery gap |
-| **New `WebhookResponseLiveActivityToken` type** | Rejected | Existing `WebhookRequest(type:data:)` + `Current.webhooks.send(...)` handles token reporting without new types |
-

-
-## System-Wide Impact
-
-### Interaction Graph
-
-`HA automation fires` → `mobile_app.send_message service` → `FCM relay` → `APNs` → `Main app NotificationManager.didReceiveRemoteNotification` → `NotificationCommandManager.handle(_:)` → `HandlerStartLiveActivity.handle(_:)` → `LiveActivityRegistry.reserve(id:)` → `Activity<HALiveActivityAttributes>.request(...)` → `Activity.pushTokenUpdates` async stream → `WebhookManager.send(...)` `mobile_app_live_activity_token` → `HA server stores token` → `HA server → relay → APNs update pushes directly to activity token`.
-
-**PushProvider path** (separate process): `PushProvider receives push` → `NotificationCommandManager.handle(_:)` → `HandlerStartLiveActivity` detects `Current.isAppExtension == true` → posts relay `UNNotificationRequest` → `Main app NotificationManager.userNotificationCenter(_:didReceive:)` → same path as above.
-
-### Error & Failure Propagation
-
-- `Activity.request(...)` throws `ActivityAuthorizationError`:
-  - `.activitiesDisabled` — user toggle off or iPad → report to HA via webhook event `mobile_app_live_activity_start_failed`, reason: `activities_disabled`; no user-visible error
-  - `.globalMaximumExceeded` — system limit hit → report to HA, suggest ending existing activity
-  - `.attributesTooLarge` — payload over ~4KB → log error with field sizes; do not surface crash
-- Push token reporting failure (network offline) → `WebhookManager` retry logic handles it; the `pushTokenUpdates` stream will also re-emit on next rotation
-- Activity dismissed externally → `activityStateUpdates` emits `.dismissed` → `LiveActivityRegistry` removes entry and POSTs `mobile_app_live_activity_dismissed` webhook to HA
-- Activity reaches 8-hour system limit → same path as above; HA stops sending updates
-
-### State Lifecycle Risks
-
-- **App crash with activities running**: Activities persist on Lock Screen; `LiveActivityRegistry.activities` dictionary is in-memory only. On relaunch, `Activity<HALiveActivityAttributes>.activities` (system list) restores tracking. **Must call this at app launch before handling any push commands.**
-- **TOCTOU duplicate start**: Two pushes arrive with same `activityID` — reservation pattern in `actor LiveActivityRegistry` prevents both from reaching `Activity.request(...)`. Second caller gets `false` from `reserve(id:)` and updates instead.
-- **App update changes `ContentState`**: Adding optional fields is safe (APNs uses JSON, extras ignored). Removing or renaming fields breaks existing activities. Never rename `ContentState` properties post-ship.
-
-### API Surface Parity
-
-- `NotificationCommandManager` registers 3 new command handlers — both the main app and `PushProvider` initialize `NotificationCommandManager`; the `PushProvider` instance's handlers must relay, not execute, ActivityKit calls
-- `HAAPI.buildMobileAppRegistration()` must include capability fields; `updateRegistration()` must also update them to handle token refresh and OS upgrade scenarios
-
-### Integration Test Scenarios
-
-1. Start activity via FCM push → token reported to HA → HA sends APNs update via relay → state visible on Lock Screen within 15s (iOS 18 rate limit budget)
-2. App backgrounded → WebSocket local push arrives → activity updates without app foregrounding
-3. Two simultaneous `start_live_activity` pushes with same `activityID` arrive 5ms apart → reservation pattern ensures only one activity created
-4. iOS 15 device receives `start_live_activity` push → `#available` guard fires → `NotificationCommandManager` still processes other commands normally, no crash
-5. Activity reaches 8-hour limit → `activityStateUpdates` fires → `mobile_app_live_activity_dismissed` webhook sent to HA → HA stops sending updates
-6. `PushProvider` receives `start_live_activity` push → relay local notification posted → main app receives it → activity starts correctly
-
----
-
-## Security Considerations
-
-### Lock Screen Data Exposure (Critical)
-
-Live Activity content is visible on the Lock Screen before Face ID/Touch ID authentication. This is not controllable at the OS level — any data in `ContentState` that the view renders may be seen by anyone who picks up the device.
-
-**Required mitigations:**
-- **Privacy consent gate**: Show a one-time alert before the first activity starts: "Live Activity content, including the entity state you choose, will be visible on your Lock Screen without authentication." Store seen-flag in `UserDefaults`.
-- **Documentation**: Companion docs must explicitly warn users not to use Live Activities for alarm armed/disarmed state, lock status, presence information, or health data.
-- **Redacted lock screen mode** (Phase 4): Allow users to opt into a "private" mode that shows only the activity title and icon on the lock screen, with full state only when unlocked.
-
-### Push Token Security (High)
-
-Activity push tokens are direct-to-device APNs credentials. If stolen, an attacker can push arbitrary content to an active Live Activity.
-
-**Required mitigations:**
-- **Keychain storage**: Push-to-start tokens must be stored in the Keychain, not `UserDefaults`. The existing push token (`pushID`) uses `UserDefaults` — do not follow this pattern for the more sensitive Live Activity tokens.
-- **No crash reporter logging**: Activity push tokens and push-to-start tokens must NOT be set as crash reporter user properties. Do not follow the existing `APNS Token` / `FCM Token` pattern in `NotificationManager.swift` for these values.
-- **Encrypted webhook only**: The `mobile_app_live_activity_token` webhook request must be sent only when `server.info.connection.webhookSecretBytes(version:)` is non-nil. If encryption is unavailable, queue and retry rather than sending plaintext.
-- **Token invalidation on activity end**: When `HandlerEndLiveActivity` ends an activity, POST a `mobile_app_live_activity_dismissed` event so HA can discard the stored token.
-
-### Source Authentication (High)
-
-The existing `NotificationCommandManager` dispatches commands based on payload content alone, with no verification that the push originated from the registered HA server.
-
-**Required mitigation**: `HandlerStartLiveActivity` must verify that the inbound push carries a `webhook_id` matching a registered server before calling ActivityKit. Use `ServerManager.server(for:)` at `Sources/Shared/API/ServerManager.swift` — this check already exists for routing but must be applied at the command handler level.
-
-### Input Validation (Medium)
-
-All server-supplied strings (`activityID`, `color`, `iconName`) must be validated before use:
-- `activityID`: max 64 chars, `[a-zA-Z0-9\-_]` only
-- `color`: must match `/^#?[0-9A-Fa-f]{6}([0-9A-Fa-f]{2})?$/` before passing to hex parser
-- `iconName`: max 64 chars; the MDI lookup is safe by design (no filesystem access), but enforce length
-
-None of these values should be interpolated raw into log statements.
-
----
-
-## Performance Considerations
-
-### Update Frequency
-
-Apple's rate limiting changed significantly in iOS 18:
-- **iOS 17 and earlier**: ~1 update/second sustained
-- **iOS 18+**: ~15 seconds minimum between updates (enforced silently — the server receives HTTP 200 but the device ignores excess pushes)
-- **With `NSSupportsLiveActivitiesFrequentUpdates`**: Higher budget, but still subject to iOS 18 device-level throttling
-
-**Implication**: Design HA automations to send Live Activity updates only on actual state changes, not on a timer. A HA energy sensor updating every second should NOT trigger a push on every update — the automation should debounce or use a minimum change threshold.
-
-**Client-side debounce**: The `HandlerUpdateLiveActivity` should impose a 250ms trailing-edge debounce before calling `Activity.update(...)`. High-frequency local push events (WebSocket) would otherwise submit excessive updates.
-
-### Battery Impact
-
-Each `Activity.update(...)` call wakes SpringBoard's render server (out-of-process). At 1 Hz sustained: ~3-5% additional battery drain per hour. Recommend the `NSSupportsLiveActivitiesFrequentUpdates` entitlement be surfaced to users as "High-frequency updates (increased battery usage)" — do not enable it unconditionally.
-
-For timer-style countdowns: use `Text(timerInterval:countsDown:)` instead of sending value updates — the system animates the countdown natively at 0 battery cost.
-

-## Acceptance Criteria
-
-### Functional Requirements — Android Feature Parity (MVP)
-
-- [ ] An existing Android Live Notification automation works on iOS with only the addition of `live_activity: true` in `data`
-- [ ] `tag` field is used as the activity identifier — same `tag` updates the existing activity (no new one created)
-- [ ] `title` and `message` display in the Live Activity (matching Android `title`/`message` fields)
-- [ ] `progress` and `progress_max` display as a progress bar in the Live Activity (matching Android)
-- [ ] `color` applies as the accent color (matching Android)
-- [ ] `icon` renders the MDI icon slug (matching Android)
-- [ ] `message: clear_notification` with `tag` ends both the Live Activity AND any delivered `UNNotification` with the same identifier
-- [ ] On iOS < 16.1 or iPad, `live_activity: true` is ignored; a regular notification banner is shown instead (graceful fallback — no automation changes required)
-- [ ] Sending a second notification with the same `tag` silently updates the existing activity (no dismissal, no sound — equivalent to Android's `alert_once: true` behavior)
-
-### Functional Requirements — iOS Enhancements Beyond Android
-
-- [ ] Activities display in the Dynamic Island (compact, minimal, expanded) in addition to Lock Screen
-- [ ] On iOS 17.2+, a HA automation can remotely start a Live Activity without the app being open (best-effort)
-- [ ] Push tokens are sent to HA server (encrypted webhook) so it can update activities via APNs directly
-- [ ] Activity dismissal (user swipe, 8-hour limit) is reported back to HA via `mobile_app_live_activity_dismissed` webhook
-- [ ] `supports_live_activities: true` appears in HA mobile app integration device registry
-- [ ] Multiple concurrent activities are supported (respecting iOS system limits of ~2-3)
-- [ ] Privacy consent alert shown once before first use
-
-### Non-Functional Requirements
-
-- [ ] No impact on startup time on devices not using Live Activities
-- [ ] All code gated with `#available(iOS 16.1, *)` where required; `#if canImport(ActivityKit)` in Shared
-- [ ] Live Activity views pass light/dark mode screenshot review on all Dynamic Island presentations
-- [ ] Push tokens never logged to crash reporter (Crashlytics/Sentry)
-- [ ] Push-to-start token stored in Keychain, not `UserDefaults`
-- [ ] `activityID` input validated (max 64 chars, restricted charset) before use
-
-### Quality Gates
-
-- [ ] Linting passes: `bundle exec fastlane lint` (SwiftFormat + SwiftLint)
-- [ ] Unit tests for `LiveActivityRegistry` actor (start/update/end/deduplication/TOCTOU reservation)
-- [ ] Unit tests for each notification command handler (with mocked `LiveActivityRegistry`)
-- [ ] Unit tests for `HandlerStartLiveActivity` in PushProvider context — verifies relay path, not ActivityKit call
-- [ ] Manual test on physical device (iOS 16.1, iOS 16.2 for `ActivityContent` API, iOS 17.2+ for push-to-start)
-- [ ] Screenshots for all Dynamic Island presentations (compact, minimal, expanded) and Lock Screen for PR

-## Dependencies & Prerequisites
-
-| Dependency | Status | Notes |
-|---|---|---|
-| ActivityKit (Apple) | Available, iOS 16.1+ | No CocoaPod needed — system framework |
-| HA server-side support (`mobile_app` component) | **Required** | Must handle `supports_live_activities` in registration, `mobile_app_live_activity_token` webhook, and `mobile_app_live_activity_dismissed` event |
-| Relay server changes | **Required for Phase 3** | Relay must support `apns-push-type: liveactivity`, JWT-only auth, sandbox/production routing |
-| APNs entitlement | Already present | `aps-environment` entitlement exists |
-| App Group | Already present | `group.io.robbie.homeassistant` used by Widgets |
-| `NSSupportsLiveActivities` Info.plist key | **Missing** | Must be added in Phase 1 |
-| `NSSupportsLiveActivitiesFrequentUpdates` | **Missing** | Add in Phase 3; surface as user toggle |
-| Companion docs PR | Needed | Document automation YAML, privacy warnings, rate limit guidance |
-| HA iOS deployment target clarification | Needed | iOS 16.1 minimum for any ActivityKit; current target is iOS 15.0 |
-
----
-
-## Risk Analysis & Mitigation
-
-| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| Server-side HA changes required before feature is useful | High | High | Phase 1–2 local push path works without server changes; file coordinated server PR early |
-| `attributes-type` string locked post-ship | High | High | Never rename `HALiveActivityAttributes`; document as immutable in code comments |
-| Push-to-start unreliable from terminated state | High | Medium | Document as best-effort; primary flow is foreground-initiated |
-| iOS 18 rate limit breaks real-time use cases | High | Medium | Debounce on client, document 15s minimum in companion docs |
-| ActivityKit called from PushProvider process | High | Critical | Guard with `Current.isAppExtension` check; add compile-time warning comment |
-| Data race on registry dictionary | Medium | High | Swift actor eliminates this entirely |
-| Push token exfiltration to crash reporter | Medium | High | Explicit code review checklist item: no token logging |
-| Apple changes ActivityKit API (behavior differences) | Medium | Medium | Gate on `#available`; test on both iOS 16.1 and 17.x in CI |
-| Lock Screen displays sensitive HA entity data | High | Medium | Privacy consent gate and companion docs warning (user choice remains theirs) |

-## Success Metrics
-
-- Zero crash reports related to Live Activity on iOS < 16.1 or iPad (via Sentry)
-- `mobile_app_live_activity_dismissed` webhook fires within 30s of user swiping away activity
-- Feature adopted by community within 30 days of HA server support landing
-- GitHub discussion #84 closed/referenced
-
----
-
-## Open Questions (Require Resolution Before or During Implementation)
-
-1. **Deployment target**: Should the iOS minimum deployment target be raised from 15.0 to 16.1 when Live Activities ship? Or keep 15.0 with `#available` guards? (Recommend: keep 15.0, use `#available` guards)
-
-2. **Dismissal policy default**: When HA sends `end_live_activity`, should the activity linger (`DismissalPolicy.default` — up to 4 hours showing final state) or dismiss immediately (`DismissalPolicy.immediate`)? Recommend exposing as optional `dismissal_policy` field in the end payload.
-
-3. **iPad handling**: On iPad where `areActivitiesEnabled == false`, should the app send a webhook back to HA indicating the device doesn't support Live Activities? This would allow HA to suppress the notification option for iPad.
-
-4. **Multiple servers**: If the user has multiple HA servers registered, should a `start_live_activity` push be scoped to the originating server via `webhook_id`? Recommend: yes, and the `webhook_id` check in the handler enforces this.

 files in Xcode project
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add import ActivityKit to HAAPI.swift so ActivityAuthorizationInfo resolves
- Fix Activity.end() availability: use end(using:dismissalPolicy:) on iOS 16.1,
  end(_:dismissalPolicy:) on iOS 16.2+ (API signature changed between versions)
- Fix MaterialDesignIcons usage: init is non-failable, remove if-let binding
- Fix L10n references: EndAll.confirmTitle/confirmButton → EndAll.Confirm.title/button
- Fix SFSymbol names: remove erroneous Icon suffix (.livephoto, .lockShield, .bolt)
- Remove #Preview blocks incompatible with iOS 26 SDK's PreviewActivityBuilder
- Register all new files in Xcode project (pbxproj) with correct targets
- Add NSSupportsLiveActivities and NSSupportsLiveActivitiesFrequentUpdates to Info.plist

Subject: [PATCH 13/34] feat(live-activity): add iOS Live Activities support

Lets Home Assistant automations push real-time state to the Lock Screen
and Dynamic Island. Matches Android Live Notifications field names
(tag, title, message, progress, chronometer, notification_icon, etc.)
so a single YAML automation block targets both platforms.

- HALiveActivityAttributes: wire-format frozen ActivityAttributes struct
- LiveActivityRegistry: Swift actor with reservation pattern to prevent
  duplicate activities from simultaneous pushes with the same tag
- HandlerLiveActivity: start/update and end NotificationCommandHandler
  implementations, guarded against the PushProvider extension process
- HALiveActivityConfiguration / HALockScreenView / HADynamicIslandView:
  widget views for Lock Screen, StandBy, and Dynamic Island
- LiveActivitySettingsView: status, active activities list, privacy
  disclosure, and 11 debug scenarios for pre-server-side testing
- Registers handlers in NotificationCommandManager; clear_notification
  with a tag now also ends a matching Live Activity
- Adds supports_live_activities, supports_live_activities_frequent_updates,
  and live_activity_push_to_start_token to the registration payload
- AppDelegate reattaches surviving activities at launch and observes
  push-to-start token stream (iOS 17.2+)
- Info.plist: NSSupportsLiveActivities + NSSupportsLiveActivitiesFrequentUpdates
- Gated at iOS 16.2 throughout (ActivityContent / staleDate API)
- iPad: areActivitiesEnabled is always false; UI and registry handle gracefully

Subject: [PATCH 14/34] test(live-activity): add unit tests for Live Activity
 handlers
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

45 new tests across 3 files:

HandlerLiveActivityTests (36 tests):
- isValidTag: alphanumeric, hyphen, underscore, length boundary,
  invalid chars (space, dot, slash, @), empty string vacuous-true
- contentState(from:): minimal defaults, full field mapping, Double→Int
  truncation, absolute/relative when, missing when
- handle(): app extension guard, missing/empty/invalid tag, missing/empty
  title, successful path, registry-throws rejection, privacy disclosure flag

HandlerEndLiveActivityTests (12 tests):
- App extension guard
- Tag validation (missing, empty, invalid)
- Dismissal policy: no policy → immediate, "default", "after:<ts>" → .after,
  "after:<ts>" capped at 24h, invalid timestamp → immediate, unknown → immediate

NotificationsCommandManagerLiveActivityTests (9 tests):
- live_activity command routing → startOrUpdate
- live_activity: true flag routing → startOrUpdate
- live_activity: false falls through (no registry call)
- end_live_activity command → registry.end (immediate)
- end_live_activity with dismissal_policy: default → registry.end (default)
- clear_notification without tag → registry.end not called
- Missing homeassistant key → .notCommand error
- Unknown command → .unknownCommand error

Note: clear_notification+tag → registry.end path is covered by code review
rather than a unit test. HandlerClearNotification calls
UNUserNotificationCenter.current().removeDeliveredNotifications which requires
a real app bundle and throws NSInternalInconsistencyException in the XCTest host.

Subject: [PATCH 15/34] fix(live-activity): address all 7 Copilot review
 comments
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

- Remove DEVELOPMENT_TEAM = 4Q9RHLUX47 from Widgets Debug pbxproj config
- Remove unused PromiseKit import from LiveActivityRegistry
- Fix reservation race: track cancelledReservations so end() arriving
  while Activity.request() is in-flight dismisses on confirmReservation
- Add isAppExtension guard to clear_notification live activity path
- Report supports_live_activities via areActivitiesEnabled (fixes iPad
  and devices with Live Activities disabled in Settings)
- Fix doc comment 16.1 → 16.2 in LiveActivitySettingsView

Subject: [PATCH 18/34] Handle Live Activity commands in foreground
 notifications and trigger Dynamic Island

- NotificationManager willPresent: detect command notifications (live_activity
  or command key in homeassistant dict) and route through commandManager.handle()
  before returning. Suppresses the standard notification banner for commands so
  the user sees only the Live Activity, not a duplicate.
- LiveActivityRegistry: immediately update with AlertConfiguration after
  Activity.request() to trigger the expanded Dynamic Island presentation.
  request() alone only shows the compact pill; the expanded "bloom" animation
  requires an update with an alert config per Apple's ActivityKit docs.

Subject: [PATCH 19/34] Address code owner review: design system, color assets,
 cleanup

- Use DesignSystem.Spaces for all hardcoded padding/spacing values in
  HALockScreenView and HADynamicIslandView
- Replace inline colors with Color.haPrimary fallback; scope haBlueHex
  as private static constants where UIColor(hex:) still needs it
- Extract duplicated icon size (20pt) and compact trailing maxWidth (50pt)
  into private constants
- Extract lock screen background tint into private constant
- Remove redundant #available check in WidgetsBundle17 (iOS 17 > 16.2)
- Remove unnecessary comment in WidgetsBundle18
- Add doc comment on isValidTag explaining allowed characters and why

Subject: [PATCH 20/34] Add wire-format contract tests for Live Activity frozen
 values
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Tests that validate values which must never change because they appear
in APNs payloads, webhook requests, and notification routing:

- HALiveActivityAttributes struct name (APNs attributes-type)
- ContentState CodingKeys (JSON field names matching Android)
- ContentState JSON round-trip preservation
- Push-to-start Keychain key
- Command strings: "live_activity", "end_live_activity"
- Data flag: live_activity: true (Android-compat pattern)

If any test fails, a wire-format contract was broken — the expected
value should not be updated without coordinating with server-side PRs.

Subject: [PATCH 21/34] Add contract tests for webhook dictionary keys (#14,
 #15)

Extract webhook type strings and dictionary key sets as static
constants on LiveActivityRegistry so they can be tested directly:
- webhookTypeToken / tokenWebhookKeys (for push token reporting)
- webhookTypeDismissed / dismissedWebhookKeys (for activity dismissal)

Private methods now reference these constants instead of inline strings.
Contract tests validate the exact values match what HA core expects.

Subject: [PATCH 22/34] Fix WebSocket local push path for Live Activities on
 Simulator
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Two bugs uncovered while testing Live Activities via local WebSocket push:

1. Use InterfaceDirect on Simulator — NEAppPushProvider (Network Extension)
   does not run in the Simulator, so the local push channel was never opened
   and notifications fell back to remote APNs/FCM which also fails on Simulator.

2. Promote live_activity fields into homeassistant payload in
   LegacyNotificationParserImpl — the WebSocket delivery path produces a flat
   payload where data.live_activity was never mapped into payload["homeassistant"].
   NotificationCommandManager checks payload["homeassistant"]["live_activity"],
   so Live Activity notifications arrived as regular banners instead of starting
   a Live Activity. This bug also affects real devices on a local/LAN connection.

Subject: [PATCH 23/34] Address Copilot review feedback on Live Activity push
 handling

- LiveActivityRegistry: silence AlertConfiguration sound on start (sound: nil)
  so the Dynamic Island bloom animation doesn't trigger an audible alert
- LiveActivityRegistry: track pending state for in-flight reservations so a
  second rapid push with the same tag applies its newer state on confirm
  instead of being silently dropped
- NotificationManager: willPresent now awaits handle() result before
  suppressing the banner; unknown commands fall back to normal presentation
  instead of being swallowed silently
- NotificationParserLegacy: only promote message to homeassistant dict when
  it is a String, preventing Optional("...") from leaking into the payload

Subject: [PATCH 24/34] Fix Dynamic Island compact trailing clipping and stale
 date for timer activities

- Use fixed frame(width: 44) for countdown timer in compact trailing slot
  instead of maxWidth: 50, preventing the Dynamic Island from squeezing
  the text narrower than M:SS requires
- Add contentTransition(.numericText(countsDown: true)) to all three timer
  Text views (compact trailing, expanded bottom, lock screen) for smooth
  digit animation
- Add computeStaleDate(for:) helper in LiveActivityRegistry: when chronometer
  is active, sets staleDate = countdownEnd + 2 s so the system marks the
  activity stale shortly after the timer ends rather than 30 min later;
  the +2 s offset also prevents the system spinner overlay that appears when
  staleDate == exactly countdownEnd
- Fix iOS 26 SDK breaking change: AlertConfiguration.sound is now non-optional,
  changed sound: nil to .default
- Handle new .pending ActivityState case added in iOS 26

Subject: [PATCH 27/34] Use live_update: true instead of live_activity: true
 for iOS Live Activities

Unifies the iOS and Android notification data field: live_update: true now
triggers a Live Activity on iOS, matching the field Android already uses for
Live Updates. A single YAML automation now targets both platforms with no
platform-specific keys.

Internal command strings, webhook types, and keychain keys are unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 28/34] Raise Live Activities minimum to iOS 17.2

Replaces all iOS 16.2 availability checks with iOS 17.2, flattens the
nested 16.2/17.2 blocks in AppDelegate and HAAPI into a single 17.2 check,
and removes now-redundant @available(iOS 17.2, *) method annotations from
the protocol and actor (the outer type annotation is sufficient).

Subject: [PATCH 29/34] Fix Copilot review issues: ASCII tag validation, 17.2
 availability guard, live_update test key
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- isValidTag: replace CharacterSet.alphanumerics (Unicode-inclusive) with explicit
  ASCII character set to match the stated [a-zA-Z0-9_-] contract
- WidgetsBundle17: wrap HALiveActivityConfiguration() in #available(17.2) guard,
  matching WidgetsBundleLegacy — avoids availability error on iOS 17.0/17.1
- Tests: change live_activity flag to live_update to match production routing
  (NotificationsCommandManager routes on live_update, not live_activity)

Subject: [PATCH 30/34] Simplify liveActivityRegistry: optional protocol
 property, no Any? backing

Per bgoncal review feedback: remove the Any? backing store workaround and
the @available annotation on the stored property. Move @available(iOS 17.2, *)
to individual protocol methods so LiveActivityRegistryProtocol can be referenced
without an availability guard, then store it as LiveActivityRegistryProtocol?
and return nil at runtime when on iOS < 17.2.

Update all call sites to optional-chain (?.); AppDelegate uses guard-let since
it already holds a non-nil reference after pre-warming inside #available(17.2).

A single lazy var handles initialization on first access, returns nil on
