 ### Output routing — `AudioContext.setSinkId`
-All audio (remote voice, screen-share audio, sound effects) flows through `AudioManager`'s master bus → `AudioContext.destination`. Output device switching is therefore done via `AudioContext.setSinkId(deviceId)`, NOT via LiveKit's `switchActiveDevice('audiooutput')` (which targets `<audio>` elements that are killed by `AppLayout`'s MutationObserver). Safari < 17 lacks `setSinkId` on AudioContext — `AudioOutputSection` detects this and falls back to OS default with an explanatory note.
+All audio (remote voice, screen-share audio, sound effects) flows through `AudioManager`'s master bus → `AudioContext.destination`. Output device switching is therefore done via `AudioContext.setSinkId(deviceId)`, NOT via LiveKit's `switchActiveDevice('audiooutput')` (which targets `<audio>` elements that are killed by `AppLayout`'s MutationObserver). Safari < 17 lacks `setSinkId` on AudioContext — `AudioOutputSection` detects this (once a real context exists) and falls back to OS default with an explanatory note.
+
+**Mobile platforms with no per-element output routing (iOS Safari):** `AudioOutputSection` feature-detects `'setSinkId' in HTMLMediaElement.prototype` at module load (cached). When false, the entire section is hidden — no header, no fallback copy. iOS users adjust audio routing via OS controls (Bluetooth menu, Control Center) and do not expect per-app output selection. Android Chrome ≥ 110 supports `setSinkId` and renders the picker normally. The detection runs before any hooks via an outer wrapper (`AudioOutputSection` → early-return-`null` → `AudioOutputSectionInner`) so the inner component's hook order remains stable.
+
+### Touch-close on device pickers
+The Audio Input, Audio Output, and Video device dropdowns (`AudioInputSection.tsx`, `AudioOutputSection.tsx`, `VideoSection.tsx`) all listen for both `mousedown` AND `touchstart` (`{ passive: true }`) when implementing click-outside-to-close. iOS Safari does not synthesize `mousedown` reliably from a single tap; without the `touchstart` listener, mobile users would have to tap twice to dismiss an open popover.
 
 ### Input pipeline — republish, never `switchActiveDevice`
 Input device changes flow through `AudioManager.setInputDevice(deviceId)` (serialized chain). The `useLiveKit syncMic` effect detects the bumped stream generation and unpublishes/republishes via `getFreshTrack()`. This asymmetry vs. the camera (which uses `room.switchActiveDevice('videoinput', …)`) is intentional and documented under "Architectural asymmetry" below — the published mic track is the output of a Web Audio graph (RNNoise, gain, AEC), not a raw `getUserMedia` track.
