description	Promote a new Quick Search Android release to F-Droid. Use when asked to send, publish, promote, or prepare the latest Quick Search update for F-Droid, especially when release notes live in app/src/main/assets/RELEASE_NOTES.md.

Quick Search F-Droid release

Publish F-Droid updates through the upstream tag-driven workflow. The release tag is the handoff to F-Droid; F-Droid builds and indexes it asynchronously.

Preconditions

1. Work only from /Users/teja2495/Projects/quick-search; inspect its AGENTS.md first.
2. Confirm app/build.gradle.kts contains a non-empty versionName and versionCode.
3. Read app/src/main/assets/RELEASE_NOTES.md. Use its content verbatim for the F-Droid changelog.
4. Check git status --short. Preserve unrelated worktree changes. If they overlap the release files or make the release commit ambiguous, stop and ask the user.
5. Read docs/FDROID.md and check the remote F-Droid metadata at https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/raw/master/metadata/com.tk.quicksearch.yml. Confirm it still uses the Tags ^([0-9.]+)-fdroid$ update rule before publishing.

Prepare the release

1. Set release_version to versionName and release_code to versionCode from app/build.gradle.kts.
2. Use release_tag="$release_version-fdroid".
3. Verify the tag does not already exist locally or on origin. Do not move or overwrite an existing tag.
4. Create or update exactly fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/changelogs/<release_code>.txt with the contents of . Preserve every release-note line and ordering; do not substitute generic release copy.
