The 2026-11-01 0.4.1 checks passed release lint, APK/AAB builds, 126 unit tests,
and six emulator UI tests covering rotation, operation locking, confirmation,
Korean help, diagnostics sharing/saving, and rejected service starts. Four unit

no physical drive was written. The signed release APK retains the existing
