Adds a mandatory pre-tag step to the release process: build the R8-shrunk release candidate and smoke-test it on a real device, including a first-run / permission-not-granted state. The v2.7.0 launch crash (calendar observer registered before the permission gate) reached users because it only manifests in the minified release build on a device without the permission already granted — the debug build and an already-permissioned phone both hid it. - New `releaseTest` build type: same R8 shrinking + obfuscation as `release`, but debug-signed with a `.releasetest` applicationId suffix so it installs alongside the production and debug apps. Never published; CI only ever builds the real `release` variant from the tag. - scripts/verify-release.sh: builds + installs `releaseTest` and resets it to a first-run state, with an on-device checklist. - docs/RELEASING.md: formalize the release/vX.Y.Z branch flow and the on-device verification gate before tagging.
