Prepare Android Play publishing and store listing kit

[bcbetterninja]

Summary

Android releases currently provide signed APK downloads but have no Google Play delivery path. Prepare verified AAB artifacts and a disabled-by-default publisher: master/dev and beta releases go to internal or a configured test track; stable version tags submit to production. Publishing uses GitHub OIDC, the same run's verified artifact, version/digest checks and a validated Play edit.

Add an English store kit (descriptions, release-note template, icon, feature graphic and TV banner), screenshot capture tooling and initial Android string resources. Update target SDK to 36, AGP to 8.9.2 and Gradle to 8.11.1. CI verifies bundle signatures/native alignment and exercises Android 16 alongside the existing emulator tests.

Setup still required

Publishing stays disabled until Play Console app creation, existing app-signing-key import, initial manual release, Google federation/service-account access, store declarations and reviewer access are complete. Real screenshots, support/privacy details and language approval remain owner inputs. The runbook lists exact GitHub variables/environments and release triggers. This PR does not create accounts, upload to Play or claim finished translations/policy declarations.

Validation

• 13 Python publishing/APK verification tests pass.
• Store text/image dimensions and string-reference validation pass.
• Workflow YAML parses; git diff checks pass.
• Native build, lint, bundle verification and emulator qualification run in CI; local machine has no Android SDK and insufficient disk for one.

Separate from tenant dashboard isolation PR #14.
