SDK-Bundled API Skill

Video SDK Android 2.5.10 includes Docs/skills/zm-videosdk-android-api/SKILL.md and paired Docs/*-API.md / Docs/*-API.json references.

• Use this repository skill for architecture, implementation workflow, scenarios, and troubleshooting.
• Use the bundled skill and Docs/index.md for exact 2.5.10 signatures, enums, callback timing, threading, role checks, and callback-object lifetime.
• Treat package headers and exported Java APIs as authoritative if generated documentation conflicts with code.
• For RTMS signaling, media sockets, protocol messages, and backend processing after ZoomVideoSDKRTMSHelper starts the stream, chain to zoom-rtms.
• See references/android-reference-map.md for the high-value modules and corrected archive-relative paths.
