ci(release): smoke-test the release APK on an emulator, drop the BrowserStack trigger (#25)

* ci(release): smoke-test the release APK on an emulator, drop the BrowserStack trigger

The release workflow ended by triggering BrowserStack tests in
appium-mobile-tests with a personal token. The token expired on 2026-10-17, so
every release build since is red, and the BrowserStack run behind it had never
produced a result (it fails uploading the app, KeyError 'app_url', since
2026-08-03). Its tests mostly asserted nothing.

In its place, every release build now installs the APK on an x86_64 API 34
emulator on a GitHub-hosted runner, launches it, and fails unless the
first-run welcome screen appears with both its create and restore buttons and
the app has neither crashed nor exited. The screen is matched by view id, so
it holds in any locale. A screenshot, the view tree and logcat are kept as an
artifact. It needs no account and no stored secret, and it can be run by hand
against the APK of an earlier run.

* ci: run the emulator smoke test on pull requests that change it, against main's latest release APK

* TEMP: nail check, expect red

* Revert "TEMP: nail check, expect red"

This reverts commit 7f804317b4.
