Rebuild after changing these values. The placeholder has a valid URL format but supplies no backend: search, recommendations, and briefing cannot retrieve live results.

Against a real backend, the app signs requests with an API session from `POST /auth/session`, not with `BOXLORE_PUBLIC_KEY` (it is still a build field but is never sent). Debug builds attest with the Firebase App Check debug provider. Without a registered debug token they get a limited session, which works except for AI onboarding. To give every debug install the same registered token, add an optional `BOXLORE_APPCHECK_DEBUG_SECRET=<uuid>` to `local.properties` and register that UUID as an App Check debug token in the Firebase console. Keep it out of Git like the rest of the file. Use local library, downloads, and RSS/OPML flows for checks that do not need the API. Working backend and Firebase services require separately provisioned configuration.

Link the debug App Check setup.

An unregistered debug token can leave AI onboarding unavailable. The local setup guide no longer explains how to register one. Link to the debug-token instructions in app/README.md so developers can complete API-backed testing. (github.com)

Review comment at @CONTRIBUTING.md at line 80:
Update the API-backed testing guidance in CONTRIBUTING.md to link to the
debug-token registration instructions in app/README.md, so developers can
register a Firebase App Check debug token when needed. Keep the existing backend
and Firebase provisioning guidance unchanged.

Remove the session endpoint from the public guidance.

The paragraph still names the session exchange endpoint, contrary to the PR’s redaction scope. It can retain the contributor-facing contract without the route.

Update the contributor-facing real-backend guidance to say requests use an API
session without identifying the session route; preserve the existing distinction
from BOXLORE_PUBLIC_KEY and leave the other guidance unchanged.

Properties are categories only, never tokens, ids or keys. `trackAppCheckStatus` takes an optional `reason` (a short failure category such as `play_integrity_-9`); App Check now runs only inside a session exchange, so `app_check_status` arrives once per attempt rather than once per launch.

Remove the session endpoint from the public README.

This line still names /auth/session, although the PR aims to remove internal routes from public documentation. Replace the path with “session exchange.” (raw.githubusercontent.com)

- `trackFeedFetchResult(FeedFetchReport)` emits `feed_fetch_result`: once per show-page read (`context=show_page`, `show_id`, `source`, `result`, `completeness` on successful reads, `http_status` only on `http_error` and `gone`) and once per background pass and source as a summary (`context=background_pass`, `result` `ok`/`mixed`/`failed`, `shows_count`, `ok_count`, `not_modified_count`, `failed_count`, and `namespace_mismatch_count` only when the server reported another episode namespace for shows read in the pass; a pass that read nothing sends nothing). `trackFeedUrlCorrected(FeedUrlCorrection)` emits `feed_url_corrected` once per saved-address swap (`show_id`, `reason`, `step`). Neither carries an address: a show ID that looks like one is left out, and `feed_url_corrected` is then dropped (`FeedAnalyticsTracks`, `FeedAnalyticsTracksTest`). Catalog code reaches them through `:core:domain`'s `FeedTelemetryPort`, which `:app` wires.
- `recipe_id` beside `episode_id` (P4 PR 18, D11): `AnalyticsEmit` fills `recipe_id` on every event in `AnalyticsGlossary.EPISODE_ID_EVENTS` and `recipe_ids` on episode surfaces of `home_surface_impression` (`EpisodeRecipeIds`). The value is the episode ID itself when it is in the recipe range, else one already known (`rememberEpisodeRecipeIds`, or found earlier); unknown IDs are looked up in the background through the lookup `:app` installs (`installEpisodeRecipeIdLookup`, trusted keyed aliases only), so an event is never held back and the next event of that episode carries it. A miss isn't asked again for 10 minutes; caches are bounded. `trackOwnIdsUpgradeCompleted(UpgradeRepairReport)` emits `own_ids_upgrade_completed` once per upgraded install: `outcome` (`done` / `gave_up`), `shows_count`, `shows_gave_up_count`, `addresses_swapped_count`, `notifications_reregistered_count`, `runs_count`, `elapsed_hours` (tenths); counts only, no show IDs or addresses. Tests: `EpisodeRecipeIdsTest`, `GlossaryAllEventsEmissionTest`.

The unused launch enrichment façade (`subscription_count_bucket`) went with them. `RecordingAnalyticsTest` checks the retired names stay out of the allowlist.

- `ContentLanguageSelection.normalizeKeepingEnglishChoice` (30 Oct) re-normalizes a list that is already the listener's choice without adding English back when it was left out; request builders use it so English off reaches the server.
- `PlaybackEntryPoint`, `ShareTarget`, and `ShareLinkBuilder`. Episode links can name their show (`episode(…, showId)` adds `&show=` before `t` or the clip range); `forTarget` builds the link for an `EpisodeShareTarget` (`Episode(id, showId)`, or `Show(showId)`, which is the show's link).
- `EpisodeShareIds.choose(localId, podcastId, recipeId)` picks the ID a share link carries: for a Podcast Index show its recipe ID (or its own recipe-range or Podcast Index ID) with the show; never a phone-only negative or reserved ID (the show's link instead); a show added by its feed address (`rss:`) keeps the episode's own ID with no show. `EpisodeShareTargetSource` is the seam the app fills with alias reads and registration (`FROM_EPISODE` uses the episode's fields only).
