Implementation Guidelines

WorkManager

**CoroutineWorker**: Use for all background tasks.
**Constraints**: explicit (Require Network, Charging).
**Hilt**: Use `@HiltWorker` for DI integration. Inject dependencies via `@AssistedInject` constructor; bind with `HiltWorkerFactory` in `WorkManager` configuration.

Foreground Services

**Only When Necessary**: Use generating visible notifications only for tasks user actively aware of (Playback, Calls, Active Navigation). Otherwise use WorkManager.
