TMCandClaude Fable 5.2 04e78205dd Release script: do not take Android's own crash during an APK swap for the app's
When the release build is the emulator's home app, Android restarts it while
the files are still being replaced, and that start can fail inside
ActivityThread.handleBindApplication. The start-up check now waits for the swap
to settle, stops the app, and judges a fresh start.

TMCandClaude Fable 5.2 fba65e091f Add quick launch: a swipe past the first or last home page opens a chosen app
Swiping on from the first home screen page, towards the page that is not
there, now does what the owner chose under Settings, Gestures, Quick launch:
open an app, or any other of the launcher's gesture actions. The last page has
a choice of its own.

The stretch the pages already show at either end is an edge effect; quick
launch replaces it with one that also counts how far the finger has pulled.
Lifting the finger after a pull of about a seventh of the screen, or after a
flick, does the action; a short pull or one that is taken back does nothing.
An app opens out of the screen edge the finger pulled from.

From Android 12, where the stretch is Android's own. Infinite scrolling takes
those swipes for itself, so the two do not combine.
