# The native Kotlin/Compose client over the shared Rust core (M12).
#
# Replaces the Tauri-mobile lane deleted in step 2. What changed is what this
# builds, not that Android has a lane: the UI is Compose, and the store and sync
# engine are `thoughtsync-core` cross-compiled by cargo-ndk and loaded through
# uniffi.
#
# CI can only prove this BUILDS. A Linux runner cannot execute an APK, so anything
# about feel, touch or on-device correctness is an operator pass on an emulator or
# phone.
#
# The artifact is a SIGNED RELEASE APK when the keystore secret is present, and an
# unsigned debug one when it is not. That distinction is not cosmetic: two builds
# signed with different keys cannot replace one another, and bridging that gap
# means uninstalling first — which deletes the app's database and every local note
# with it (Scribe issue 2803).
