Sub-project 6d: release builds with Gradle on the dev machine, no EAS.

plugins/with-release-signing.js (Expo config plugin, runs at prebuild since android/ is generated and ignored): derives versionCode from version (major * 10000 + minor * 100 + patch), signs the release build type with the keystore named in android/keystore.properties (debug keystore otherwise, so expo run:android still builds), and allows cleartext HTTP only outside ROLLNOTE_RELEASE=1. This replaces the expo-build-properties setting, which is removed.
scripts/release-android.sh (pnpm release:android): checks the versions and the clean tree, prebuilds with the release settings, runs gradlew bundleRelease assembleRelease, leaves dist/rollnote-<version>.aab and .apk.
docs/release.md: one-time upload keystore and Play Console steps, the per-release checklist, what a release build differs in. Crash reporting: none, Play vitals.
Version 0.9.0.

Verified locally with a throwaway keystore: prebuild yields versionCode 900 / versionName 0.9.0, cleartext false in release and true in dev; assembleRelease produced a signed APK (certificate checked with apksigner) that installs and launches on the emulator.

Release builds are made with Gradle on this machine, no EAS: the android/
folder stays generated and ignored, and plugins/with-release-signing.js runs
at prebuild. It derives versionCode from version (major * 10000 + minor * 100
+ patch), signs the release build type with the keystore named in
android/keystore.properties (debug keystore otherwise, so expo run:android
still builds) and allows cleartext HTTP only outside ROLLNOTE_RELEASE=1,
which replaces the expo-build-properties setting.

scripts/release-android.sh (pnpm release:android) checks the versions and
the clean tree, prebuilds with the release settings, builds the bundle and
the APK and leaves them in dist/. docs/release.md has the one-time keystore
and Play Console steps and the per-release checklist.
