chore(release): bump to 1.0.52 (versionCode 52)

[stozo04]

Version delta

versionCode 51 → 52, versionName "1.0.51" → "1.0.52". One file, +2/−2 — app/build.gradle.kts only.

Branched from main @ 78c85ea (tip at the time of writing), so this includes #176, #178 and #179.

What's landed since 1.0.51

• Fix project agent autonomy rules and synchronize all skill harnesses #176 — project agent autonomy rules fixed, all three skill harnesses (.claude / .cursor / .codex) re-synchronized
• Require Firebase configuration for release builds #178 — release builds now hard-fail without app/google-services.json (Firebase config guard in app/build.gradle.kts, plus scripts/verify-firebase-release-gate.py)
• perf(verification): reuse build work and identical APK installs #179 — verification speed: pre-pr-sweep.ps1 reuses build work, identical-APK installs skipped, docs/guides/verification-performance.md added

No app source changed. git log 1.0.51..78c85ea -- app/src is empty — everything since the last tag is build config, verification tooling, docs and skill harness. 1.0.52 carries no user-facing change, which is worth deciding on before drafting Play "What's new".

Sweep receipt

Not run. scripts/pre-pr-sweep.ps1 could not run from the session that opened this PR (cloud session; Linux VM bridge has no PowerShell, no Android SDK, JDK 11 only), and the owner directed that the PR be opened without it. The sweep still needs to pass locally before this merges — treat that as an outstanding item on this PR, not a cleared gate.

Release bump checklist

• Play technical-quality vitals: N/A — vitals check out of scope for /cut-release, owner call 2026-08-28 (issue #158)

How this was created

Branch and bump commit were written through the GitHub API rather than git in the mounted working copy — the Linux VM sees the Windows checkout as 476 CRLF-only modifications and cannot unlink .git/index.lock, so any local commit from there would have been unsafe. The commit diff was verified afterwards as exactly the two version lines.

Note

Low Risk
Only Gradle version metadata changed; no app logic, security, or data-handling code in the diff.

Overview
Release-only version bump in app/build.gradle.kts: versionCode 51 → 52 and versionName "1.0.51" → "1.0.52". No application source or runtime behavior changes in this diff.

This tags the build for Play distribution; any user-facing changes would come from commits already on the branch since the last release, not from these two lines.
