P3: The new APK-versus-download selection has no focused tests for asset-present, asset-absent, or copy-failure paths. Add tests through ensure to preserve the fallback contract.

Retry the bundled asset after an interrupted copy.

If the app stops after copyFromAssets writes part of the archive, the next ensure call treats that nonempty file as usable. It skips this asset-copy branch. Extraction then fails and deletes the file, so that launch fails even though the APK contains the payload. Copy to a temporary file and promote it only after the copy completes, or retry the bundled asset when extraction fails.

Update the `copyFromAssets` flow in `ensure` to write the bundled archive to a
temporary file and promote it to the target archive only after the copy
completes, so interrupted copies are never treated as usable payloads.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not use the download fallback after a bundled asset copy fails.

When the asset exists but copying fails, copyFromAssets returns false, so ensure calls SteamService.fetchFileWithFallback(ARCHIVE, archive, context, onProgress). This violates the asset-only fallback contract and can cause an unnecessary network download, including a successful online download.

Both the current code and the proposed propagation delete dest on copy failure. A failed network fallback also deletes dest, so the next ensure retries the bundled asset in either case. Propagation does not prevent an offline launch failure; it only prevents the unnecessary download.

Propagate the copy failure instead of returning false:

Suggested fix 
         return runCatching {
             assets.open(ARCHIVE).use { input -> dest.outputStream().use { output -> input.copyTo(output) } }
         }
             .onFailure {
                 Timber.w(it, "Failed to copy $ARCHIVE from assets")
                 dest.delete()
             }

Update copyFromAssets so a failed copy propagates its exception after logging
and deleting the partial destination, rather than returning false and triggering
SteamService.fetchFileWithFallback; preserve false when the bundled asset is
absent.

Give game-session tooltips contrasting colors.

GAME_SESSION_THEME now selects DARK for every game session. In the DARK palette, InfoText and InfoWindow are both 255 255 255 (Lines 109–110). Tooltips that use these system colors have white text on a white background. Set InfoWindow to a dark color, or set InfoText to a dark color, before applying this theme to all games.
