+The implementation of your torch state retention fix is complete. I've strictly adhered to the Implementation Plan and ensured the codebase maintains its full health.
+
+Here's what was accomplished:
+1. **Pigeon Integration**: Added `bool hasFlashUnit()` to the `CameraInfo` interface in `pigeons/camerax_library.dart`, regenerated the code, and implemented it in the Java backend.
+2. **Torch Tracking Map**: Upgraded `torchEnabled` to a map `_torchEnabledPerCamera` keyed by the camera's name (extracted via the newly tracked `_currentCameraDescription`). This safely encapsulates flash requests on devices containing many cameras. 
+3. **Safe State Restoration**: Hooked into `_updateCameraInfoAndLiveCameraState()` to automatically restore the `torchEnabled` state every time a camera is switched, provided `hasFlashUnit()` returns `true`.
+4. **Resilient Handling**: Modified `_enableTorchMode` to accept `addErrorToStream`, letting us attempt restoring torch silently without triggering app-crashing unhandled stream exceptions. Throwing a `CameraException` is still properly handled for upfront user calls in `setFlashMode()`.
+5. **Testing Updates**: Rewrote failing internal tests to inject `currentCameraDescription` properly and created explicit new tests asserting behavior for torch state restoration and edge case error handling.
+6. **Codebase Health**:
+   - Formatted all code via `flutter_plugin_tools format`.
+   - Cleared all warnings and errors via `flutter_plugin_tools analyze`.
+   - Fully executed `flutter_plugin_tools dart-test`; all existing and new tests pass perfectly.
+   - Using `flutter_plugin_tools update-release-info`, I've correctly safely bumped the package version and updated `CHANGELOG.md` exactly as requested.
+
+All modifications are now staged in git and are strictly backwards compatible. You can push this straight to a PR branch or verify it in your example app! Let me know if you need anything else.
+
+Used tool: manage_task

+I have canceled the remaining background timers as tests have been successfully verified and completed.

+You can proceed with testing the example app manually or pushing the changes to your PR branch!
