Readest now shows up in the Android Auto launcher as a media app and
projects the TTS media session so playback can be controlled from the
car display (play/pause, previous/next sentence).
- Declare the com.google.android.gms.car.application meta-data and the
automotive_app_desc media capability that Android Auto requires to
list the app
- Make MediaPlaybackService safe to bind for browsing: audio focus, the
silent keep-alive player, and the foreground notification no longer
start in onCreate but on an explicit ACTIVATE_SESSION command, so a
car client connecting to browse does not steal audio focus or post a
phantom playing notification
- Deactivate the session with an in-process call instead of
stopService, which would neither run onDestroy nor clear the
foreground state while a media browser keeps the service bound
- Serve the current book as a playable browse item (cover downscaled to
stay under the binder transaction limit) and handle
onPlayFromMediaId/onPlayFromSearch
- Honor the foreground service contract when MediaButtonReceiver
cold-starts the service with no active session

Backports the Android ANR/stability fixes from the julianshen fork,
adapted to upstream — notably preserving the cold-start shared-intent
replay queue and the #4559 dictionary-dispatch logic, neither of which
the fork kept.
- NativeBridgePlugin: run blocking @Command I/O (copy_uri_to_path,
install_package, get_sys_fonts_list, and show_lookup_popover's
queryIntentActivities) on Dispatchers.IO via a Main-dispatched
pluginScope; startActivity hops back to Main; resolves are
isActive-guarded; onDestroy cancels the scope and clears the static
instance; the system-font scan is cached (@Volatile). The cold-start
shared-intent queue (emitOrQueue / registerListener) is left intact.
- MediaPlaybackService: unmarshal the artwork Bitmap off the main thread
(serviceScope + Dispatchers.Default), isActive-guarded; cancel the
scope in onDestroy.
- ClipUrlController: hold the Activity via WeakReference and check
isFinishing/isDestroyed before presenting, to avoid leaking the
Activity/WebView during the up-to-30s clip window.
- MainActivity (#3297): on Android 14+ the window can gain focus before
the WebView paints its first frame, leaving a blank screen. Force one
repaint when both the window has focus and the WebView exists
(whichever happens last).
Kotlin-only; not exercised by the JS/Rust test suites. Verified via
ktlint parse + a release `tauri android build` and on-device smoke test
(Xiaomi). The touch-event throttle and intent-handling rewrite from the
fork are intentionally NOT backported (they dropped touchmove forwarding
and the cold-start queue).

When the Android native TTS engine is paused or stopped but not shut down,
it holds resources and drains battery. This adds a 30-minute idle timer that
automatically shuts down the TextToSpeech engine and MediaPlaybackService
after inactivity. The engine transparently re-initializes on next use.
Also adds missing androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-process dependency to fix
ProcessLifecycleOwner build error.
Closes#3713
