Android/AOSP Workflow
summary
Explains how AOSP master is a public trunk while major Android work lives on private vendor branches, so release tags often appear before device support lands (causing builds that look current but lack key features); describes using pin manifests and daily reproducible builds to let downstream teams do reliable repo sync testing and reduce a week of post‑tag chaos; mentions LCR builds, a proposed regression‑bisect tool, and the community two-week window that still leaves months‑long review delays for large changes.
