Claude Code on Chromecast with Google TV: keep Cast working
Chromecast with Google TV is an Android-based streaming device, but its core purpose is receiving casts. A launcher change that leaves Home working can still break Cast discovery or receiver credentials, so the recovery test must include casting from another device.

What a model-specific report shows
Clean Your TV reports Chromecast with Google TV 4K and HD on Google TV 14. Its notes say a setup component carries Cast receiver credentials on the 4K report and owns saved Wi-Fi on the HD report. The project keeps specific components in a Cast-preserving list.
What to check on your own device
Use the exact 4K or HD model and firmware report. Test casting, Wi-Fi reconnect, HDMI-CEC and remote shortcuts before and after any approved change. Do not treat a successful reboot into a new Home screen as a complete pass.
A safe next step
Record the full model, firmware, original Home behavior and the functions you want to preserve. Compare only with a source report for the same hardware and software. Ask your coding assistant for an inspection-only plan, exact effects and a verified undo route. If the source does not match, keep the TV unchanged and use its built-in settings.
