[chore] Android targets API 36, as Play now requires - #356

Conversation
Since 2026-08-31 Google Play refuses any upload that targets below Android 16. `android-v0.1.3` was accepted by the upload step and then refused at commit: "Target SDK of artifact is too low". The 0.1.1 bundle went up on 2026-08-20, eleven days before the floor moved, which is why nothing had caught it. compileSdk/targetSdk 35 → 36. No behaviour change in the app: no native code (16 KB pages), edge-to-edge already handled at 35, the microphone foreground service is unchanged on Android 16. Verified the minified release build on an API 34 emulator (upgrade install, cold start, record → Stop → upload, import). versionCode 5 / versionName 0.1.4. RELEASING.md now says where the annual deadline is so the bump happens before summer rather than at the failing upload. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
