Open Babyphone 1.1.0 Alpha 2

Alpha test release for Open Babyphone.

This is a pre-beta release for limited local-network testing. The core app is implemented, signed, and CI-verified, but the full real-device reliability matrix is not complete yet.

Changes since v1.1.0-alpha.1:

New feature:

• Experimental Wi-Fi Direct connection mode for local device-to-device audio without an existing Wi-Fi network (#119, #124, #125)

Bug fixes and polish:

• Add explicit Android data extraction rules (#121)
• Add themed monochrome launcher icon (#120)
• Remove unused string and color resources (#118)
• Force parent QR scanner to portrait orientation (#111)
• Polish status strings and client count plural (#115)
• Remove obsolete minSdk compatibility checks (#112)
• Update compatible dependencies (#126)

Verification:

• CI passed on main: https://github.com/digitalesIch/open-babyphone/actions/runs/28386127976
• Local release-grade check passed: ./gradlew assembleRelease testReleaseUnitTest lintRelease
• Signed APK verified with Android APK Signature Scheme v2
• APK metadata: applicationId org.openbabyphone, versionCode 17, versionName 1.1.0-alpha.2

Known status:

• Treat this as alpha/pre-beta software.
• Overnight, screen-off, Doze/OEM battery, Wi-Fi interruption, charger-change, alert audibility, Bluetooth, and Do Not Disturb behavior still need documented real-device validation.
• Wi-Fi Direct is experimental and may need device-specific testing.
• Open Babyphone is not a medical or safety-certified device and is not a replacement for responsible supervision.
