Scrub from home (PRD AD-10) - New setting, off by default: a vertical slide along the alphabet's edge of the home screen opens the drawer and scrubs it in the same touch (FlexeraEdgeScrubController). It claims a touch only once it has clearly moved up or down, and never during an item drag. Nothing is drawn on the home screen. Work profile (PRD AD-14) - The Personal and Work tabs and the work info card were one icon wide, because their width came from grid maths that assumes several columns. In the one-column list they now line up with the search bar. - The info card's own scroller section no longer shows up as a letter in the alphabet. Navigation modes (PRD SI-2, AD-17) - With three-button navigation, the controller that carries swipe up and hold stood aside completely, so a hold did nothing there. It now takes the ordinary swipe up from the home screen in that mode too. Wave alphabet - The list darkens under the wave where the letters cross icons and names: always from the left edge, and from the right edge in proportion to how far the wave reaches in. Release script - -BuildOnly builds and checks the APK without publishing, so a version can be tried first and then published with -SkipBuild. Checked on the Android 17 emulator (debug build): work tabs at full width, scrub from the home screen's edge, the search field keeping its background while typing. The three-button change and the right-edge darkening were written after that build and are not yet checked. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.2 <noreply@anthropic.com>
