+ * - **Registration result.** A failure (synchronous or asynchronous) forgets the subscription, removes the OS
+ *   registration and reports the error to the listener once ([LocationListener.onError], mapped by [mapError]); the

+ *   result reported after that (or a second one) is ignored.
+ * - **Removal.** [remove] stops deliveries at once. If the OS registration has not completed yet, it is removed now
+ *   (best effort) and again once it completes, so a late registration cannot keep running unseen.
+ * - Listener exceptions are logged, never thrown into the OS callback.
+ *
+ * Unlike the design it follows, an error does not stop tracking: the listener decides what to do.
