Summary

This release adds a parent-configured Supervised Mode and improves its return from full settings. It also keeps session rows neutral until live activity is confirmed.

Added

• Use a profile-pinned Supervised Mode with parent-controlled attachments, Standard voice, generated media, history, actions, and technical details. Device authentication protects full settings; this remains a client-side restricted view rather than a server-enforced account boundary.

Fixed

• Keep session rows neutral while optional live activity is unavailable or still loading, and reserve full-row activity borders for actual Starting or Working turns.
• Keep Supervised Chat rendered when parent access relocks after visiting full settings.

Install / Verify

• App version: 1.13.2 (versionCode 51).
• Standard Chat, sessions, Manage, sharing, profile switching, and Vanilla Hermes voice continue to work against unmodified upstream Hermes.
• Granular Device Control remains sideload-only; the Google Play build continues to ship Hermes Bridge Core without AccessibilityService Device Control.
• The optional Relay plugin remains unnecessary for standard Android chat, sessions, Manage, and Vanilla Hermes voice.
