I'm not sure if this older information ever made it into Android 15...

Project Mainline in Android 15: What to expect
Finally, here's a sneak peek at some of the new APEX/Project Mainline
modules we may see in next year's Android 15 "Vanilla Ice Cream" release:

CrashRecovery: 
I have no idea what this will do. There's an empty repository in AOSP for
it, but that's all that's public so far.
NFC: As I previously reported, Google is working on turning Android's NFC
stack into a modular system component. There's no code for this in AOSP
repositories yet, but a commit description from a Googler suggests it'll
happen.

RemoteAuth(entication): 
It's not entirely clear what RemoteAuth is for, but based on my initial
reading of the code that's public, it seems like it'll let you use a
UWB-enabled smartwatch as a "remote authenticator." Perhaps this will let
you use your smartwatch to unlock apps on your phone in the future.

ThreadNetwork (part of Connectivity): 
Google is actively working on a Thread network stack for Android that's
decoupled from Google Play Services. Thread, if you aren't aware, is a
wireless protocol designed for Matter-enabled devices.

UWB vendor HAL will become updatable: 
Android 13 introduced an (optional) UWB Mainline module, though only the
system-side HAL was updatable. In Android 15, however, the vendor-side HAL
will become updatable.

That's my high-level summary of what to expect in Android 15.
