v0.2.0 — UX overhaul and rebrand.

v0.2.0 — UX overhaul and rebrand

Renamed

• App is now BeebEm-For-Android (user-visible label, theme, log tag, search User-Agent, README, gradle project
  name, ProGuard banner, screenshot filenames). applicationId and the launcher icon ID are unchanged, so existing
  installs upgrade in place.

New launcher icon

• Owl-themed icon shipped as a proper adaptive icon (foreground PNG per density + solid-black background layer).
  Fixes the "tiny icon inside a white square" appearance Android 8+ launchers showed for the previous raster-only icon.

On-screen keyboard

• Shift / Ctrl now provide visual feedback while held: the keytops turn active-gold and every key that has a
  shifted variant displays its shifted glyph (e.g. ! over 1). Was previously dead code wired through a sticky-state
  map that no key ever set.

BBC Games menu

• Title now reads "BBC Games stairwaytohell.com", mirroring the Search screen's bbcmicro.co.uk credit so the
  catalogue's source is obvious in the UI.

Joypad config — free-form layout

• Every one of the seven buttons (Up, Down, Left, Right, A, B, C) can be dragged anywhere in the joypad area in
  CFG mode. The proposed position is rejected on release if it would overlap another button or the CFG toggle (button
  bounces back); touching edges is allowed.
• Double-tap a button in CFG mode to hide it. Hidden buttons fade out with a "hidden" label so you can find them
  to restore; outside CFG mode they don't render at all — build a three-button pad for games that only need fire.
• Joypad height ↑ to 160 dp, button visual size ↑ to 62 dp.
• CFG toggle moved to top-centre of the joypad area (ergonomically far from the gamepad thumbs) and its footprint
  is treated as an immovable obstacle, leaving the screen edges fully available for buttons.
• Per-disc joypad layouts persist via the same JoypadConfigManager that already stores per-disc key mappings.
  The loader transparently migrates two earlier on-disk formats (inline grid form and the brief snap-to-grid form).
• Fixed two Compose bugs that surfaced during testing: positional-memoisation reassigning dragOffset state between
  buttons (added key(buttonId)), and stale tap-detector closures silently rolling back a drag's position update when
  the user immediately double-tapped to hide a button (callbacks now read through rememberUpdatedState).

Versioning

• versionCode 1 → 2, versionName 0.1.0 → 0.2.0.

Build notes

This APK is built with the Android debug keystore — it installs and runs
normally but is not Play-Store-signed. A future release will move to a
proper release-signed APK.
