" summary

Approximately 2,000 lines of Android-only EAS code exist, about 1,500 of which implement sketching. The plan moves placement and frequency decisions onto mainline energy-aware wakeup and to upstream util_clamp for min/max utilization, replacing find_best_target and adding prefer idle and sketchin boosting shims. A 50 ms sketchin_hold keeps boosts active to avoid missed frequency ramps. Pixel 3 WR tests show media playback saves 3–6% energy and home idle saves ~5%, with no other significant regressions.
