        I -imagine- that UX wise, enabling bluetooth during a pairing flow, and
disabling it again if we don't connect is perhaps the best plan from a
UX&  battery perspective ?


Yes, as far as I know, you have to ask the user to turn on Bluetooth. You could create an Intent to show the Settings page for the user to do it.

On the battery side: powering the radio down or going to lower power modes is handled by the lower stack, at least for the first round we shouldn't be too concerned about this, I guess (?)
