 *   npx cap sync android                    → the counter app  (tech.threadcount.app  → /m)
 *   TC_APP=staff npx cap sync android       → the staff app    (tech.threadcount.staff → /my)
 *
 * The Capacitor 6 CLI has no --config flag and always reads this file from the working directory,
 * so the alternative to branching here is swapping files around before every build — which is the
 * kind of step that eventually ships the wrong app id to Play. One file, one env var, two
 * `android.path`s, and neither project can overwrite the other.
 *
 * Both are the live site in a native shell, so the apps update when the site does and there is one
 * copy of every rule rather than two. Each bundles only its own first-run screens, which are the
 * only ones that must work before someone has signed in or has signal.

 * nothing. The counter app goes on a handful of ward phones belonging to the people who run the
 * linen room; this one goes on every nurse's phone. One Play listing cannot describe both, and a
 * wearer opening an app whose home screen is a stocktake counter would reasonably conclude they
 * had installed the wrong thing.
 *
 * It carries no barcode scanner and asks for no camera permission: nothing a wearer does involves
 * scanning, and an app that every clinical staff member installs should ask for as little as it
 * possibly can.
