Add an optional way for users to support development:
- About card: tonal "Support development" button opening ko-fi.com
via ACTION_VIEW (no INTERNET permission), EN + DE strings
- F-Droid metadata: Donate field in self-hosted and official drafts
- README: short Support section with the Ko-fi link
No perks/rewards attached — kept as a plain donation link.

F-Droid's binary scanner (the fdroiddata `check apk` job) rejects any
"extra signing block". Our release APK carried AGP's dependency-metadata
block (id 0x504b4453, ~8 KB) in the APK Signing Block. Disable it with
`dependenciesInfo { includeInApk = false; includeInBundle = false }`.
The block lives in the signing block, not the zip entries, so removing it
changes no build output — v2.7.5 is functionally identical to 2.7.4 and
still reproduces byte-for-byte. Verified locally: a releaseTest build now
carries only the v2 signature + verity padding (no 0x504b4453 block).
This was the last F-Droid blocker: v2.7.5 now clears vcsInfo (since 2.7.3),
foojay (since 2.7.4) and the dependency-metadata block. Bumps versionName
to 2.7.5 and retargets the official recipe draft at v2.7.5.

F-Droid's official build scanner rejects the foojay-resolver-convention
plugin because it can fetch a JDK over the network during the offline,
reproducible build. The plugin was inert here (no toolchain block ever
invoked it), so removing it leaves the app functionally identical to
2.7.3 and still reproducible byte-for-byte from source.
Bumps versionName to 2.7.4 (the release trigger) and retargets the
official fdroiddata recipe draft at v2.7.4, plus two recipe corrections
the fdroiddata CI caught on the v2.7.3 submission (MR !40967):
- Categories: 'Time' (retired in the current taxonomy) -> 'Calendar & Agenda'
- AutoUpdateMode: 'Version v%v' (invalid per schema) -> 'Version'

v2.7.3 is the first release built with `vcsInfo { include = false }` and is
verified reproducible: a clean from-source build matched the published
calendula_v2.7.3.apk byte-for-byte across all 1382 zip entries (only the
signature block differs, which F-Droid copies).
- Point the fdroiddata recipe's Builds entry + CurrentVersion at v2.7.3
(was the 2.7.2 placeholder, which lacks the fix and would fail verification).
- UpdateCheckMode: Tags ^v[0-9.]+$ — after this one-time submission F-Droid
auto-tracks new release tags and adds build entries itself; no manual recipe
edits per release.
- Add scripts/check_reproducible_release.sh + an always-on CI step asserting the
release build keeps VCS-info disabled, so reproducibility can't silently
regress and quietly stop official-repo publishing.

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).
