HiLight Studio v1.0.3 (Experimental)

HiLight Studio v1.0.3 is an experimental, debug-signed developer release for the Pixel 11 Pro HiLight LED array.

What changed

• Notification colours no longer leave the LEDs lit indefinitely.
• Alerts stop when you unlock the phone.
• Active alerts survive unrelated settings updates.
• Added a Pause in Battery Saver option and changed the default low-battery pause from 20% to 10%.
• The brightness taper resets after the array has been dark, so re-arming starts at full brightness.
• Both renderers are told to stand down during handoff, ensuring only one drives the array.
• ADB setup is now two separate lines: reset leftover renderers first, then start the helper. This prevents a stale renderer from pushing black and silently masking the live one.

The Windows Command Prompt form keeps the pipe, parentheses, redirects, and $() inside double quotes so the phone expands the installed-app path. Its cmd.exe parsing has been verified; Windows hardware execution remains unconfirmed. PowerShell and macOS/Linux keep the hardware-confirmed single-quote form.

Verification
