Unsuccessful connect via BT

Step Pixel2 Nokia3.1
1 Existing contact – added by 'nearby method' ('Andy') ditto ('Belle')
2 No messages from this contact yet No messages from this contact yet
3 No other contacts yet No other contacts yet
4 Initial Briar settings Initial Briar settings
5 BT ON BT ON
6 Wifi OFF Wifi OFF
7 Internet OFF Internet OFF
8 Switch BT OFF keep BT ON
9 Contacts see each other as offline Contacts see each other as offline
10 go to 'Belle' > menu > select 'Connect via BT' go to 'Andy' > menu > select 'Connect via BT'
11 Msg:Your contact needs to be nearby...“Start” at the same time ditto
12 Press Start Press Start
13 Msg:Briar debug ...for 120 seconds Msg:Briar debug ...for 120 seconds
14 Allow Allow
15 Brief msg 'Connecting via Bluetooth' Brief msg 'Connecting via Bluetooth'
16 Brief msg 'Successfully connected via BT' Brief msg 'Successfully connected via BT'
17 Contacts see each other as online Contacts see each other as online
18 Contacts can send each other messages Contacts can send each other messages
19 Repeat steps 4-18 Repeat steps 4-18
20 Repeat steps 4-18 Repeat steps 4-18
21 Repeat steps 4-18 Repeat steps 4-18

Repeating these steps a few times in a row - connecting via BT works OK. But then, I delete contact on one phone, and re-add it via nearby method and things begin to look different. I performed the following steps:

Step Pixel2 Nokia3.1
22 Delete contact 'Belle' Keep contact 'Andy'
23 Re-add contact Belle, using nearby method re-add contact Andy using nearby method
24 Contacts is added Contact is not added as it already exists = OK
25 Contacts see each other as offline Contacts see each other as offline

Is this correct behaviour? That contacts should see each other as offline when re-added successfully via nearby method?

Step Pixel2 Nokia3.1
26 This process turns the wifi and BT to ON (in Briar app) ditto
27 BT = ON, WiFi= ON in Briar app BT = ON, WiFi= ON in Briar app
28 Repeat steps 10-15 Repeat steps 10-15

Expeced result: BT connection should be established, contacts shoudl see each other online and be able to send each other messages.

Actual result: Message: successfully connected via BT on both devices, However, **the contacts see each other as offline, and cannot send messages ** If I try to send a message from one to the other (Nokia to Pixel) message is not delivered to Pixel.

Trying to Reconnect again via BT, as in steps 10-14, there is a brief message at the bottom of the Pixel2 screen 'connecting via BT', and then 'unable to connect via BT', but no equivalent messages at all on Nokia screen - they just don't show.

Contacts still see each other offline and cannot send each other messages.

Android Studio log for PIxel 2 attached - the first file covers all the user actions up to the 'actual results'

This file covers only the last attempt to reconnect after the 'actual results'
