 - **Samsung S Pen Documentation:** Android NDK motion event handling
 - **RetroArch Input Architecture:** Existing mouse emulation and quick-tap systems
 
+## Build Integration
+
+### Android Build System
+The S Pen implementation has been fully integrated into the RetroArch Android build system:
+
+- **Enum Declarations:** Added to `/msg_hash.h` for proper compilation
+- **Settings Integration:** Menu entries, internationalization, and help text included
+- **Griffin Build:** Successfully compiles through the unified griffin.c build system
+- **Multi-Architecture:** Supports ARM64, ARM32, and x86 Android targets
+
+### Build Artifacts
+The implementation produces these APK variants:
+- `phoenix-aarch64-debug.apk` - ARM64 optimized for modern devices (17MB)
+- `phoenix-playStoreNormal-debug.apk` - Universal multi-architecture build (35MB)
+
+### Build Requirements
+- Android SDK with API level 16+ support
+- Android NDK 22.0.7026061 (tested and verified)
+- Gradle build system with native build tools
+
+## Testing Requirements
+
+### Hardware Testing
+**Critical:** Always test on actual Samsung S Pen devices, as virtual devices cannot reproduce firmware phantom event behavior.
+
+**Supported Device Classes:**
+- Galaxy Note series (Note 8, 9, 10, 20, etc.)
+- Galaxy Tab S series with S Pen support
+- Galaxy Z Fold series with S Pen support
+- Any Samsung device with S Pen digitizer
+
+**Testing Scenarios:**
+1. **Hover Navigation:** S Pen hovering should move cursor without triggering clicks
+2. **Phantom Prevention:** Quick hover transitions should not generate unwanted touches
+3. **Contact Detection:** Actual stylus tip contact should register as clicks (when enabled)
+4. **Menu Interaction:** Stylus should require explicit button presses for menu gestures
+5. **Channel Separation:** Finger touches and stylus input should operate independently
+
 ## Commit History
 
 The implementation was developed across multiple commits:
 - `7daf2ae`: Base S Pen implementation with toolType classification
 - `050a396`: Comprehensive hover→tap prevention with proximity tracking  
 - `4c47eac`: Defense-in-depth enhancement to quick-tap function
+- Build integration fixes: Function declaration ordering and enum integration
+
+## Build Status
+
+✅ **Implementation Complete** - All components integrated and building successfully  
+✅ **Android APK Generated** - Ready for hardware testing on Samsung S Pen devices  
+✅ **Multi-Layer Protection Active** - Hover guard, proximity tracking, quick-tap gating, and menu isolation
