Summary
Manual Bluetooth discovery scan is still marked as unreliable on Windows and may not consistently find newly powered-on devices.
Observed behavior
The UI warns that manual discovery is a future/testing addition and may not work reliably in all Windows/Bluetooth states.
Expected behavior
Manual scan should either work reliably enough to be a supported control, or remain explicitly framed as experimental with clear fallback steps.
Truth/safety impact
Medium. Device discovery results can be misread as "device absent" when the actual state is Windows BLE/cache weirdness or scanner failure.
Acceptance criteria
- Document known Windows scan failure modes.
- Add logging that distinguishes scan started, scan completed, no compatible devices found, scanner failure, and manager restart fallback.
- Decide whether manual scan is public-alpha supported or explicitly experimental.
