• Full Text Selection in Detail View: Wrapped Detail Screen content in SelectionContainer enabling seamless text highlighting and copying.

• Migrated clipboard operations across the app from deprecated LocalClipboardManager to modern Compose LocalClipboard.
• Restricted screen blur strictly to the floating dock panel, keeping background screens sharp with a subtle dismiss scrim.

Removed

• Removed simulated in-app diagnostics radar and fake latency benchmarks, replacing them with a fully honest Help Center & FAQ knowledge base.

Fixed

• ProGuard R8 Reflection Rules: Added missing -keep rules for Firebase Auth methods used during environment diagnostics in Play builds.
• Detail Screen Dismiss Flicker: Cached displayedItem during back-press pop animations to prevent blank card flashes on exit.
