Research direction

The issue names Keepass2Android 1.14-r1 on Android 15 and lists several key-file variants, but no source file or test. Start by reproducing the master-key change failure with those variants, then trace the key-change flow. Done means the master key changes successfully and the database can be reopened with the new key.
