### What this changes
Adds beta releases, ported from Agendula (#38 and #40 there). Pushing a `release/*` branch whose `versionName` is `X.Y.Z-beta.N` runs the new `.gitea/workflows/beta.yaml`: unit tests, build + sign with the app key, then a **Codeberg pre-release** (APK + `.sha256`) and a Gitea pre-release (R8 mapping). F-Droid (self-hosted and official) and Play never get a beta; Obtainium only offers it with *Include prereleases* on.
- **New versionCode scheme**, derived in one place by `scripts/version_info.sh`. 2.22.3 is the last legacy version (`X*10000 + Y*100 + Z`); from **2.22.4** on it is `X*1000000 + Y*10000 + Z*100 + N` for a beta (N = 1–98) and `+ 99` for stable, so `2.22.4` → `2220499`, `2.23.0-beta.1` → `2230001`.
- **`scripts/release_gate.sh`** decides in both `detect` jobs whether the version still needs publishing. Tags are read by exact name via `git ls-remote`: Codeberg's `git/refs/tags/<name>` matches by prefix, so a beta tag would otherwise hide its stable release. A beta counts as done only once its Codeberg pre-release carries the APK (a failed publish is redone by the next push) and must be newer than the latest stable.
- **Shared scripts** `publish_codeberg_release.sh`, `publish_gitea_release.sh`, `release_notes.sh`, `write_keystore.sh`, and a local composite action `.gitea/actions/android-env` for the toolchain setup, used by both `release.yaml` and `beta.yaml`. The stable path behaves as before (Codeberg step stays best-effort).
- **Guards:** CI fails a PR whose `versionCode` doesn't match its `versionName`, or that brings a beta into `main`; `release.yaml` refuses a beta as a backstop; betas get no store What's New (`sync_changelog_to_fastlane.sh`, `check_changelog_lengths.sh`).
- **Docs:** versionCode table and "Cutting a beta" in `docs/RELEASING.md`, the Obtainium note in the README, `build.gradle.kts` comment.
- `gradle/gradle-daemon-jvm.properties` now points at JetBrains' own JBR 21.0.11 downloads instead of foojay, which dropped JetBrains 21 from its index (the pinned ids return 400, so a clean runner can't provision the daemon JVM).
### Why
To ship test builds of an upcoming version to opted-in testers before the stable release, without them reaching F-Droid or Play users.
Infra-only, so this targets `main` directly; no version bump. When cutting 2.22.4, its What's New file is `changelogs/2220499.txt`.
### Checklist
- [x] Targeting `main` (infra change, noted above)
- [x] No `values-*/strings.xml` touched
- [x] `CHANGELOG.md` not updated: release infrastructure, not a user-visible change
- [x] No planning or design documents committed

Make fastlane/metadata/android/ the single source of truth for store
listing metadata, consumed directly by the official F-Droid repo and
transformed into the self-hosted repo's localized layout at release time.
- Move fdroid-metadata/<appid>/<locale>/ -> fastlane/metadata/android/<locale>/
(git-tracked renames: summary->short_description, description->full_description,
+ title.txt, images/icon.png, images/phoneScreenshots/); keep the app-level
.yml control file for the self-hosted `fdroid update`.
- Add scripts/fastlane_to_fdroid_localized.sh (fastlane -> F-Droid localized,
incl. changelogs) and scripts/sync_changelog_to_fastlane.sh (CHANGELOG.md ->
fastlane changelog); verified byte-identical to the previous metadata.
- release.yaml: build self-hosted metadata from the fastlane tree and sync the
per-version changelog before the transform (one changelog source for both
channels).
- Disable AGP VCS-info embedding on release builds (vcsInfo { include = false })
so builds reproduce byte-for-byte vs the distributed APK — the only file that
otherwise differed (META-INF/version-control-info.textproto). Effective from
the next release.
- Add docs/fdroid-official/ (draft fdroiddata recipe: reproducible build +
AllowedAPKSigningKeys + Binaries + notes).
- Repoint README screenshots/icon, update docs/README + RELEASING, and skip the
Android build on fastlane-only changes (ci.yaml).
