Return completion metadata for every transfer branch.
Only the ordinary branch assigns transferResult. GIF and special-animation transfers run through WriteState, but this method returns null for them. The caller therefore cannot detect a Next-Gen badge after these transfers.
Change the transfer sink and animation helpers to preserve and return CompletedState?.

</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**issue (bug_risk):** `handleAnimationTransfer` returns null for GIF and cycle-animation transfers even when the underlying transfer succeeds. `_HomeScreenState` only calls `setNgConnected` when the returned state is a successful next-generation `CompletedState`, so those transfers leave the active next-generation connection unregistered and the control panel and live-update path never become available.
**Triggers:** When a next-generation badge receives a GIF or cycle animation.
**Suggested fix:** Propagate the `CompletedState` from every transfer path, or otherwise inspect and return the result of each underlying transfer.
</issue_to_address>
### Comment 2

+ speed: speedDialProvider.getOuterValue(),
+ );
+ });
+ }
+
</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**issue (bug_risk):** Cancelling `_debounceTimer` does not cancel a callback that has already started, so rapid text edits start multiple `sendDirectLegacyUpdate` calls concurrently. Their chunk writes and delays interleave on the same BLE characteristic, producing corrupted or out-of-order badge contents.
**Triggers:** When another text change occurs while a previous debounced update is still writing chunks.
**Suggested fix:** Serialize direct updates with a per-device write queue or generation token, and discard/cancel stale updates before writing their remaining chunks.
</issue_to_address>
### Comment 3

+ e.toString().replaceAll("Exception: ", ""));
+ }
+ }
+
</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**issue (bug_risk):** `sendNgCmd` catches command failures and does not rethrow them, so callers cannot distinguish a rejected command from a successful one. The rename flow consequently updates the local device name, saves the configuration, powers off the badge, and adds the name to settings even when `setBleName` failed.
**Triggers:** When a next-generation command is rejected or its BLE write/timed response fails.
**Suggested fix:** Return the command result and rethrow failures, then stop the rename sequence and avoid updating local/settings state unless each command succeeds.
</issue_to_address>
### Comment 4

} catch (e) {
logger.e("Transfer failed: $e");
</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**issue (bug_risk):** `sendDirectLegacyUpdate` swallows all generation and BLE write errors after logging them, so the text-change path reports completion while the badge still displays the old content and the user receives no failure state.
**Triggers:** When data generation or any direct BLE packet write fails.
**Suggested fix:** Propagate the exception to the caller or expose an update-error state so the UI can report the failed live update.
```suggestion
} catch (e) {
logger.e("Error during direct Next-Gen update: $e");
rethrow;
}
```
</issue_to_address>Sourcery assessment
Needs a human reviewer. 4 findings to address first, and if the protocol handling is wrong, the app could send incorrect commands or streaming frames and persist badge configuration changes such as its name or settings. Reverting the app would not undo those device-side changes, although they are bounded and can generally be corrected with another command or manual reset.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Both Next-Gen controls disable the streaming shutdown sequence. setNgConnected(false) sets _isStreaming = false in AnimationBadgeProvider, so the following stopLiveStreaming() returns at its if (!_isStreaming) return; guard. NgCommand.leaveStreaming() is never written and UniversalBle.unsubscribe is never called, so the badge stays in streaming mode.

Fixes #1205(mainly) next-gen protocol support
#1359 renaming badge
#866 settings brightness
#1782 and #1242 live stream
Override #1563
Changes
In this PR we can see the first next-gen protocol implementation.
The app doesn't detect the next-gen profile in the scan state, because the badge expose after this service, so in write state we can detect well if is our firmware or not.
Only when the app connect to FOSSASIA firmware a control panel is displayed with the following controls:
-disconnect
Important
You need a badge with next-generation protocol implemented. I tested with this version and it works to me: https://github.com/fossasia/badgemagic-firmware/actions/runs/27161014451
The streaming mode is not very smooth, but on the contrary I noticed that the animations work better in streaming mode than in the classic transfer mode
This update can also help to firmware update (#1777) because we can now discriminate our badge from the others
