- The legacy ASR engine, roughly 500k lines of C++, was built by its owners with GCC and plain CMake for the cloud. The on-device team consumed it as a library across about 7 ARM toolchains from the Android NDK plus 4 x86 gcc/clang variants, through a Conan-based build layer.
- Before: on-device releases were hand-curated snapshots of the upstream engine, maintained in forks of every ASR package and re-merged periodically. Each release took days at minimum and often weeks, as toolchain-specific breakage surfaced and needed patches.
- Fix: point all engine code at a single virtual build-system package. In the cloud dependency universe it resolves to bare CMake; in the device universe it resolves to the Conan layer, which drives the same CMake underneath. About 40 packages converted; one source tree builds for all 12 toolchains.
- Kept it that way with a pre-merge analyzer that compiles every pull request against the device toolchains before it can land, so device compatibility is checked at merge time rather than discovered at release time.
