Goal

Fixes AND-1412

A caller could ring far past the configured autoCancelTimeoutMs without either side timing out. RingingState.Outgoing was the only member of the hierarchy without structural equality, and updateRingingState() allocates a fresh instance on every run — so each recomputation republished the state on CallState.ringingState. Every coordinator API response and eight event handlers reach that path, so a chatty update stream reset the ring timeout from zero, indefinitely.

RingingState.Incoming is already a data class, so only the caller side was affected.

Found in the Video team's ringing-reliability audit.

Implementation

RingingState.Outgoing becomes a data class. That restores StateFlow conflation, which four behaviours depended on:

  • startRingingTimer() no longer cancels and restarts the full autoCancelTimeoutMs delay on every update.
  • CallServiceRingingStateObserver no longer restarts the outgoing ringtone. On API 28+ playWithRingtoneManager stops the current Ringtone, builds a new one, and plays it — so the caller heard the tone restart from the beginning on every update. The API <28 MediaPlayer path was already guarded by isPlaying.
  • DefaultNotificationHandler's distinctUntilChanged() now filters, so the ongoing-call notification is no longer rebuilt and re-posted per update.
  • previousRingingStates is a hash set; with no hashCode every instance was a distinct member and it grew for the lifetime of the ring.

A genuine acceptedByCallee transition still passes the change check, so accept handling is unchanged. All 45 RingingState.Outgoing usages are type checks or read acceptedByCallee — nothing relied on identity.

API dump: additive only — the generated component1, copy, copy$default, equals, hashCode, toString. Constructors unchanged, so consumers stay binary-compatible. Version constant untouched.

The ticket also notes an optional hardening at the timer's fire condition (Outgoing || (Incoming && activeCall == null) by precedence). Separate concern, left for its own PR.

🎨 UI Changes

None.

Testing

./gradlew :stream-video-android-core:testDebugUnitTest   # 1038 tests, 0 failures, 50 pre-existing skips
./gradlew :stream-video-android-core:apiCheck            # passes against the regenerated dump
./gradlew spotlessCheck

New coverage, 8 cases:

  • RingingStateTest (6) — equality and hashCode for Outgoing and Incoming, identical states collapsing in a hash set, and the StateFlow not republishing identical outgoing states while still publishing a real acceptance.
  • CallServiceRingingStateObserverTest (+2) — repeated identical outgoing states play the ringtone once; acceptance is still handled after them.

Five were verified red with the one-word fix reverted, so they aren't vacuous: state flow does not republish identical outgoing states, outgoing states with the same acceptance are equal, identical outgoing states collapse in a hash set, repeated identical outgoing states do not restart the outgoing sound, outgoing acceptance still handled after repeated identical states. The other three pass either way — contract guards, not regression proofs.

Not covered: the timer restart itself. CallState.updateRingingState() is only reachable through IntegrationTestBase, which connects a live coordinator WS, so there is no isolated harness for it. The equality contract is the shared root cause of all four symptoms and is pinned, but this is coverage of the cause rather than the timer.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented repeated identical outgoing ringing states from triggering duplicate ringing sounds.
    • Ensured accepted calls still stop the outgoing ringing sound correctly.
  • Improvements

    • Improved ringing-state comparisons and duplicate-state handling for more consistent call behavior.

Outgoing was the only RingingState without structural equality, so every
updateRingingState() recomputation published a new value on the ringingState
StateFlow. Side effects meant to run once per transition ran on every call
state update instead: the auto-cancel ring timer restarted its full delay,
so a chatty update stream postponed the caller's timeout indefinitely; the
outgoing ringtone restarted from the beginning on API 28+, where the
RingtoneManager path is not idempotent; the ongoing-call notification was
rebuilt and re-posted; and previousRingingStates, a hash set, grew for the
lifetime of the ring.

Incoming was already a data class, so only the caller side was affected.

Every Outgoing consumer uses a type check or reads acceptedByCallee, so
nothing depended on identity. The API dump gains only the generated data
class members; the constructors are unchanged.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

RingingState.Outgoing is now a data class with generated value semantics. Tests cover equality, hashing, MutableStateFlow conflation, and ringtone observer behavior for repeated and accepted states.

Changes

Ringing state semantics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Outgoing value semantics
stream-video-android-core/src/main/kotlin/.../ClientState.kt, stream-video-android-core/api/...
RingingState.Outgoing now provides data-class equality, hashing, copying, component access, and string representation.
Ringing state validation
stream-video-android-core/src/test/kotlin/.../RingingStateTest.kt, stream-video-android-core/src/test/kotlin/.../CallServiceRingingStateObserverTest.kt
Tests verify value behavior, state-flow conflation, and single ringtone playback across repeated outgoing states.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 80f88

The change prevents identical outgoing ring updates from resetting timers, restarting ringtone playback, rebuilding notifications, and growing retained state. The runtime fix is localized, but merge readiness is currently moderate because two added tests need repository-compliant setup and a non-ambiguous acceptance assertion.

Suggested reviewers: rahul-lohra, andremion

Poem

A rabbit checks the ringing state,
With equal hops that consolidate.
The same soft chime plays once,
Then acceptance stops the song.
Value paths now stay neat and strong.

MockK verify default exactly once or at least once documentation

💡 Result:

In MockK, the verify function uses specific keyword arguments to define how many times a call should have occurred [1][2]. Default Behavior By default, calling verify without specifying a count uses the following settings [1][2]: - atLeast: 1 - atMost: Int.MAX_VALUE - exactly: -1 (which disables the exact count check) This means a standard verify block effectively verifies that the call happened at least once [1][2]. Verification Parameters You can customize the number of times a method is called using these arguments [3][4][2]: - atLeast: Specifies the minimum number of times the call must have occurred [3][2]. - atMost: Specifies the maximum number of times the call is allowed to have occurred [3][2]. - exactly: Specifies the precise number of times the call must have occurred. When this is set to a value other than -1, it overrides the default atLeast and atMost behavior [1][2]. Examples - Verify a call occurred exactly once: verify(exactly = 1) { mock.call } - Verify a call occurred at least once (default): verify { mock.call } // or verify(atLeast = 1) { mock.call } - Verify a call occurred at least three times: verify(atLeast = 3) { mock.call } - Verify a call occurred at most two times: verify(atMost = 2) { mock.call } - Verify a call never occurred: verify(exactly = 0) { mock.call } // or verify(inverse = true) { mock.call } // or verify { mock wasNot Called } Coroutines The same arguments are supported by coVerify for verifying calls within coroutines [1][2].

Isolate the acceptance assertion from the initial Idle emission.

MockK’s default verify {} only requires at least one matching call. Clear recorded calls after the initial drain, or assert the stopCallSound() call after the accepted transition.

The SonarCloud gate is red on new_maintainability_rating, flagging two smells in setActiveCall — cognitive complexity at ClientState.kt:174 and a nested if at :199. Neither comes from this PR: the diff is a single one-word hunk at line 55.

The cause is the new-code baseline. Sonar last analysed develop on 2025-12-19, while develop is currently at ff290bd68b (2026-08-21), so everything merged in between reads as "new code" to any PR touching the same file — setActiveCall's complexity lands on whoever edits ClientState.kt next. develop already carries 36 open violations of these same two rules. Filing the baseline refresh separately; it affects every PR in the repo, not just this one.

Not fixing the two smells here — refactoring setActiveCall inside a ring-timer bugfix would mix concerns.

Separately, Test compose (1) failed on the first run (testReconnectionDuringCallRecording + testUserRejectsTheOutgoingAudioCall, both findObject(...) must not be null) and passed on re-run with no code change. The same shard failed the same morning on an unrelated branch, with the same reconnection test and an incoming-ring case, so it was the emulator window rather than this change.
