+### BUG-15 — Phone can't host the hotspot and connect to the Pi's AP at once
+- **Status**: `OPEN` 2026-08-12
+- **Symptom**: With the phone hosting the hotspot (Pi's uplink) *and* connected to the
+  Pi's AP ("vroom vroom yaris de course"), the Pi loses internet. Uploads fail with
+  `NameResolutionError` — the phone's WiFi-sharing routes the hotspot's traffic back
+  through the no-internet AP, creating a routing loop.
+- **Cause**: phone-OS limitation — a single phone can't cleanly be both the Pi's
+  internet uplink (AP/hotspot host) and its WiFi client (on the Pi's AP) simultaneously.
+- **Intended use / workaround**: phone must be **LTE-only** (WiFi off) to serve as the
+  Pi's uplink. Reach the Pi UI from that phone over the hotspot at
+  `http://<pi-hotspot-ip>` (Settings → "In-car hotspot" shows it), or from a second
+  device on the AP.
+- **Pi-side hardening shipped 2026-08-12**: `phone-hotspot` now forces public DNS
+  (`8.8.8.8`/`1.1.1.1`) and the Settings page surfaces the correct URL per uplink mode.
