New Moon 52.6.2

New Moon 52.6.2 — arm64-v8a release build of main @ a6be690 (includes afd0473, the aboutAddons.js SIGNEDSTATE_* guard).

⚠️ Known issue — NOT fixed in this release

White LayerView / blank pages. The live page SurfaceView stays white on all pages (including about:addons) even though Gecko composites real pixels — this is a compositor→SurfaceView/BLAST handoff bug in the targetSdk-24-era code on modern Android. Commit afd0473 fixes only a JS guard; it does not fix rendering. Full diagnosis: docs/ABOUT-ADDONS-BLANK.md.
