md v0.1.0-alpha.1 — Android + desktop builds

Status: alpha — first developer build; expect rough edges and breaking changes.

First public build of md — a local-first Markdown vault with a real git sync engine underneath. Your notes are plain .md files on disk; syncing is any standard git remote; conflicts become conflict-copies, never data loss.

Fixed in this build

• Android: app failed to launch on modern devices — the native library was linked with 4 KB ELF page alignment, which 16 KB page-size kernels (many 2025+ phones) refuse to load. All Android targets are now built with max-page-size=16384.
