Device compatibility (regression fix):
- The CAMERA permission (from zxing_barcode_scanner / image_picker) implicitly
  required android.hardware.camera, excluding camera-less devices — Play showed
  Automotive -96%, Chromebook -86%, TV -25%. Declare camera & location
  uses-feature required="false" to keep those devices supported.
- Detect a real camera at runtime (PackageManager.FEATURE_CAMERA_ANY via the
  existing MethodChannel), cache it at bootstrap, and hide the QR scan button and
  the camera photo-source option when absent, so no broken actions are offered.

Play "app optimization" recommendations:
- Enable R8 (isMinifyEnabled + isShrinkResources) with keep rules for the
  OCR (tesseract4android), SQLCipher and notifications JNI/reflection code.
- Bitmap downscaling: cacheWidth/cacheHeight (and ResizeImage for avatars) on
  list thumbnails and avatars so photos decode to on-screen size, not full res.
- Edge-to-edge: opt in with transparent system bars in main().

Release flow:
- Tagged builds now publish to the production track at 100% (was internal);
  add a manual deploy_internal lane as a QA safety net.
- Document country/region availability as a Play Console setting (not in-repo).

- `deploy_internal` — same AAB to the **internal** test track (manual QA safety net).
- `deploy_metadata` — push only the store listing (no binary).
- `promote_production` — promote an internal release to production without a rebuild.
### Country/region availability (Play Console, not this repo)
Which countries the app is offered in is **not** in the repo and `fastlane supply`
does not manage it — it's a Play Console setting. To add countries:
**Play Console → (Tane) → Production → Countries / regions → Add countries/regions**
(under "Availability"). Play asks you to pick countries when you first move a
release to production; widen the list there for new markets.
Note: the locales under `fastlane/metadata/android/<locale>` (`en-US`, `es-ES`)
are **listing languages**, not countries — adding a locale improves the store
page but does not by itself make the app available in a new country.
## Publish to F-Droid (official repo)
F-Droid builds from source after a merge request to `fdroiddata`. The build recipe
