🚀 Key Highlights

🎨 Identity & Iconography

• OnyxChat Identity: Established all user-facing names, prompts, and branding under the "OnyxChat" name.
• Logo & Design: Configured all design system logos and launcher icons using the new OnyxChat bubble logo.
• Adaptive Launcher Icon: Generated legacy square, round, and adaptive launcher icons across all density buckets (MDPI, HDPI, XHDPI, XXHDPI, XXXHDPI) utilizing a clean, solid white background.

✨ Styling: Liquid Glass (Frosted Glassmorphism)

• Introduced the reusable Modifier.liquidGlass() styling layer.
• Applied the Liquid Glass theme to chat message bubbles in the message list timeline, rendering a subtle, beautiful glassmorphism effect (translucent backgrounds + fine light-reflecting borders).

🔔 Push Notifications & Calling Fixes

• Immediate Pusher Registration: Optimized the registration mechanism to ensure push notifications (FCM/UnifiedPush) and incoming call alerts are registered immediately after login.
• Users will receive notifications and call requests immediately, regardless of their current device verification status.

🤖 GitHub Actions Workflow

• Introduced a dedicated workflow to compile, build, and package the universal release APK (OnyxChat-release.apk) automatically on workflow dispatch, streamlining deployment.
