   The emulator app reaches it at `https://10.0.2.2:8443`; enroll it with
-  `adb shell "am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -d 'aiapp://enroll?host=10.0.2.2&port=8443&token=…'"`

+- **Name the device on every `adb` call.** This checkout runs its own
+  emulator — `run-android.sh` derives the AVD name from the directory, so
+  a second clone gets a second AVD rather than queueing for one shared
+  machine-wide `tdep`. With more than one attached, a bare `adb shell` or
+  `adb get-state` fails with `more than one device/emulator` and a bare
+  `adb shell pm list packages` comes back **empty**, which reads as the app
+  having been uninstalled rather than as the question being ambiguous.
+  Get the serial the way `run-android.sh` does — match `adb -s <serial> emu
+  avd name` against the AVD — or export `ANDROID_SERIAL`, which every
+  `adb` call honours without `-s`.
