CarDash 1.2.3 makes the launcher usable as a normal app as well as a HOME app.

- **Package:** `com.wasp.cardash_launcher`
- **Version:** 1.2.3 (versionCode 23)
- **ABIs:** arm64-v8a, armeabi-v7a, x86_64 (universal APK)
- **Signing:** project debug key matching all prior releases
- **SHA-256:** `72c9c1dca0c852104e9531b7cb532cf478ce121df83da4431669e20874d2837b`

**What changed**
- Removed `android:excludeFromRecents="true"`, so CarDash appears in the
  recents/overview list and can be switched back to when it is running without
  the HOME role.
- Added `android:resumeWhilePausing="true"` so the Home transition does not have
  to wait for the previous app to finish pausing.
- Added `android:alwaysRetainTaskState="true"` so the system keeps the launcher
  task instead of resetting it after a long time away.
- Includes all 1.2.2 work: the FYT/Syu MCU master-volume bridge, the
  volume settle/unconfirmed behaviour, the Jellyfin Favorites tab and
  playing-album shortcut, and the Jellyfin streaming-quality setting.

**What this does not do**
Android can still kill a background app. CarDash deliberately adds no
keep-alive foreground service, `persistent` flag or battery-exemption request.
On vendor firmware, set CarDash to **No battery restrictions** and allow
autostart/recents locking if the system keeps killing it. A recents entry does
not keep the process alive by itself.

When CarDash holds the HOME role, Android may still filter the home task out of
recents; use Home to return. The recents entry is primarily for normal-app mode.

**Verified**
- `flutter analyze`, formatting and the full 149-test suite.
- Universal release APK builds and its manifest was checked: `MainActivity` has
  no `excludeFromRecents`, and `resumeWhilePausing`/`alwaysRetainTaskState` are
  present.
- No Android emulator is installed in this workspace, so the on-device recents
  behaviour could not be exercised here. Android may still omit the home task
  from recents when CarDash holds the HOME role; normal-app mode is the case
  this release targets.

Devices with the in-app updater can use Settings → Updates to download this APK
and open Android's package installer. Android requires install confirmation and a
one-time unknown-apps allowance; no silent install is attempted. A yellow dot
appears on the Settings gear when this release is available.

This build is debug-signed for sideloading/testing, not Play Store distribution.
Gogs release attachments are limited to 32 MB, so the universal APK is linked
directly from the repository.
