+The proto's `UNKNOWN` (wire `'0'`) is intentionally absent — WA Web never emits it from a real browser and the server rejects it. The default is `OtherWebClient` (`'9'`). The server accepts 23 single-byte ids (`0..9` and `a..m`); only the 12 with a confirmed platform meaning are exposed.
 
 #### Mapping from `PlatformType`
 
-`companion_web_client_type_for_platform` maps each `wa::device_props::PlatformType` to a wire variant. Web platforms map to their browser variant (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.). Android platforms map to the dedicated Android letters. Other mobile and embedded platforms collapse to `OtherWebClient`.
+`companion_web_client_type_for_platform` maps each `wa::device_props::PlatformType` to a wire variant. Web platforms map to their browser variant (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc.). `Desktop` maps to `Electron`. The Android `PlatformType` variants (`AndroidPhone`, `AndroidTablet`, `AndroidAmbiguous`) map to **`Chrome`** — that's what real WA Web on Chrome-Android emits and what the server accepts without attestation. To request the Android letter codes (`'d'`/`'e'`/`'f'`) explicitly, set `PairCodeOptions::platform_id`. iOS, AR/VR, Wear OS, and the proto's `UNKNOWN` collapse to `OtherWebClient`.

+The display string sent in `<companion_platform_display>` is built from the resolved wire variant and the OS reported in `DeviceProps`:
 
-- Web variants emit `<Browser> (<OS>)`, e.g. `Chrome (Linux)`, `Firefox (Windows)`.
-- Android variants emit `Android (<OS>)`, e.g. `Android (Android)`.
+- Web variants emit `<Browser> (<OS>)`, e.g. `Chrome (Linux)`, `Firefox (Windows)`. Non-browser web variants (Electron, UWP, OtherWebClient) and Android-mapped-to-Chrome fall back to `Chrome (<OS>)`, mirroring WA Web's reported renderer name.
+- Explicit `AndroidPhone`/`AndroidTablet`/`AndroidAmbiguous` overrides emit `Android (<OS>)`, e.g. `Android (Android)`.
 - Empty OS substitutes `Linux`.
 
 The server only validates that the display string is 1..=100 bytes — there is no browser whitelist.
