fix(input): pair complementary Joy-Con controllers - #1870
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds Joy-Con pairing, logical-slot assignment, key remapping, state aggregation, and event routing. It also updates the PR workflow to write PostHog credentials with fallback values. ChangesJoy-Con input support
PR workflow credential handling
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds Joy-Con pairing and reconnect behavior, but current code can lose remembered pair ownership or assign a controller to the wrong player in specific multi-controller sequences; the validation workflow also has unresolved permission and credential-propagation risks. Merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Treat one unambiguous Nintendo Joy-Con L/R pair as a single logical controller while preserving normal controllers. Keep slot ownership stable across reconnects and add focused regression coverage for detection, remapping, pairing, merged state, and assignment cleanup.

Gradle Android local.properties arbitrary properties project.findProperty automatically loaded official documentation
💡 Result:
No, Gradle does not automatically load arbitrary properties from local.properties into the project object [1][2][3]. While the Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) uses local.properties to read specific internal configuration values (such as sdk.dir) [1][2], it does not automatically inject all arbitrary keys from that file into the Gradle project's property scope [1][2]. Consequently, calling project.findProperty("myKey") for a property defined only in local.properties will return null unless you have manually loaded the file into your build script [2][4][5]. Official documentation reserves local.properties for Android Gradle Plugin-specific settings [1]. Adding your own values there can lead to conflicts, and the recommended approach for defining custom local properties is to create a separate properties file and load it explicitly within your build script [1]. To use custom properties from a file like local.properties in your build scripts, you must manually load them using the Java Properties class [6][7][2]: // Groovy def localProperties = new Properties def localPropertiesFile = rootProject.file('local.properties') if (localPropertiesFile.exists) { localPropertiesFile.withInputStream { stream -> localProperties.load(stream) } } def myValue = localProperties.getProperty('my.custom.key') // Kotlin DSL val localProperties = java.util.Properties val localPropertiesFile = rootProject.file("local.properties") if (localPropertiesFile.exists) { localPropertiesFile.inputStream.use { localProperties.load(it) } } val myValue = localProperties.getProperty("my.custom.key") Alternatively, if you are managing secrets, you can use specialized tools like the Google Secrets Gradle Plugin, which is designed to securely read from properties files and expose them to your build [8].

Make the PostHog values available to the Gradle step.
Run unit tests invokes Gradle after the step-scoped environment ends. app/build.gradle.kts reads these values from Gradle project properties or the process environment, and Gradle does not load arbitrary keys from local.properties. The generated BuildConfig.POSTHOG_API_KEY and BuildConfig.POSTHOG_HOST can therefore be empty. Move the variables to Run unit tests or load them explicitly.

Preserve the displaced Joy-Con pair during slot moves.
When targetSlot contains a fused pair, this removes both remembered members. ControllerManager.noteGamepadButton then assigns only the displaced pair's direct owner to the claimant's previous slot. If the non-owner half is disconnected and reconnects first, it has no remembered slot and can be auto-assigned elsewhere. Move the target pair members to the displaced slot and update their last-known slots before moving the claimant pair. Update JoyConSupportTest to cover this reconnect order.
