Two changes to the Android wrapper, shipping together as app version 2.1
(versionCode 6).
Notifications stopped arriving a few minutes after the app was backgrounded,
and no setting on the phone could prevent it: Android freezes a process with
nothing in the foreground, and a frozen process runs no JavaScript and holds
no socket. MeshWatchService is a foreground service of type remoteMessaging
that does no work of its own - it exists so Android leaves the process alone.
Every notification is still built by the mc-webui page, so mutes, blocked
senders, channel names, translations and deep links stay in one place rather
than being duplicated in Kotlin.
The service follows mc-webui's own notification toggle, read from localStorage
by the shim rather than asked of the page, because the wrapper connects to
whichever server its user typed in - very often an older mc-webui. The shim
also wraps Storage.prototype.setItem, since localStorage fires no event in the
document that wrote it. Android's own switches have the last word, so a revoked
permission or a silenced channel stops the service too.
setRendererPriorityPolicy goes with it: the page renders in a process of its
own, and WebView waives that process's priority once the view stops being
visible, so a service saving only the host process would still lose the
renderer under memory pressure.
Separately, the address screen now lists the servers reached before, so running
more than one instance no longer means retyping the whole address to switch.
Only addresses that answered are listed, which keeps typos out.
Also replaces the deprecated setDecorFitsSystemWindows with enableEdgeToEdge,
which is what Play Console has been flagging twice. Its default navigation-bar
scrim is overridden, or it would paint over the strip the wrapper colours to
match the page below Android 10.
Docs, the privacy policy (both languages) and the app-vs-PWA comparison are
updated: three of them said the app ran nothing in the background.

Google Play requires every listing to link a publicly reachable privacy
policy, whether or not the app collects anything. This one is served from
the repository itself, so its history is public alongside the code it
describes.
English and Polish on one page, self-contained and theme-aware like
contact-management.html. The content is drawn from what the app actually
does: nothing reaches the developer, and what stays on the phone is the
server address, the per-host HTTP credentials, the notification-prompt
flag and the WebView's own cache - each listed with the reason it exists.
Permissions get the same treatment, one row each.
docs/.nojekyll is not optional here. GitHub Pages runs Jekyll by default
and docs/architecture.md contains brace syntax Liquid tries to interpret,
which would fail the build and take the policy URL down with it. Serving
the folder as static files avoids the whole class of problem.
Rendering checked in Chrome at 390px and 1000px, light and dark: no
horizontal overflow, tables fit without sideways scrolling.
