Research direction

Start with the Sentry trace and inspect the Android text-change path through TextView.notifyListeningManagersAfterTextChanged and AutofillManager.notifyValueChanged. Determine how Simplenote reaches the autofill update with a 221188-byte parcel, then verify the crash no longer occurs while editing affected content.
