    // cold state, the UIApplication isn't yet `.active` and

    // the audio session because the app is not yet considered the
    // foreground priority owner. Symptom in production builds:
    // 'AVAudioSession setup failed: Error 561017449 "Session
    // activation failed"' in NSLog, after which the audio engine
    // is unusable until the user backgrounds + foregrounds the
    // app.
    //
    // The category itself can be set whenever; only the active
    // state needs to be deferred. We listen for
    // didBecomeActiveNotification and activate then. Most
    // production iOS voice apps (Discord, Zoom, FaceTime) follow

    // for the user's first voice-channel join. The latter is
    // surprising: the user has only tapped "connect to server" and
    // suddenly iOS pops the permission prompt because joining a
    // text channel happens to trigger audio engine startup. Asking
    // up-front matches user expectations for a voice-chat client.
    //
    // The request is asynchronous and non-blocking. If the user
    // denies, voice_join will surface a clearer error later when
    // the audio engine fails to open the input device. The
    // permission state is cached by iOS so subsequent launches
    // skip the prompt.

    // Deferred ~1 s so iOS finishes initialising the keyboard /
    // text-input subsystem before the permission alert appears.
    // Firing the alert too early steals focus from the not-yet-
    // ready text-input layer, with the symptom that the first tap
    // on a TextField does nothing (the second tap works because
    // by then iOS has caught up). DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter
