Workflow improvements: - Add prominent warning in workflow header about CI keystore vs Google Play keystore - Enhance keystore decode step with detailed logging and file verification - Add informative logging in build step showing which keystore is being used - Log APK/AAB size after successful builds - Add clear warnings that CI-built AAB should NOT be used for Play Store - Add comprehensive signing notice at end of workflow with release instructions - Document that locally-built AAB must be used for Play Store uploads This ensures developers understand the signing key mismatch issue when they view the workflow logs, preventing accidental uploads of wrongly-signed AABs to Google Play Console.

Documentation: App Bundle Signing Requirements (Issue #438)
This PR documents the critical signing requirements for app bundle releases to prevent signing key mismatch errors when uploading to Google Play Console.
Changes
Context
Based on Issue #438, we discovered that GitHub Actions builds use a different keystore than the one registered in Google Play Console, causing signing key mismatch errors. This PR ensures future releases follow the correct process:
