Summary

  • Landscape rotation on Android currently just stretches the phone-portrait Compose layout — wide rows of unrelated content, big dead bands top and bottom. Lock MainActivity to portrait via android:screenOrientation="portrait" until a tablet/landscape layout exists.
  • Comment in the manifest notes the revisit condition (sw600dp resource set + multi-pane layouts).

Test plan

  • On device, rotate the phone — UI stays portrait
  • Revisit when a dedicated tablet layout lands

Operator feedback: landscape just stretches the phone-portrait
Compose layout awkwardly — every screen was sized for one column
of cards, so rotation produces wide rows of unrelated content with
big dead bands top and bottom. Until a dedicated tablet/landscape
layout exists, lock the activity to portrait via screenOrientation.

Revisit when a sw600dp resource set + multi-pane layouts land.
