Description
Extracted from PostHog/posthog#43012.
Problem
There's no native code in the SDK: no signal handlers, JNI, or .so symbol handling. Capture is limited to JVM Throwables (manual plus the uncaught handler).
Scope
- Native signal-handler capture (
SIGSEGV,SIGABRT, and friends), a manual native capture API, symbol upload, and the server-side symbolication path.
Large, probably an epic rather than a single PR.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by mapping the existing JVM Throwable, manual-capture, and uncaught-handler flow, then break the native signal capture, manual API, symbol upload, and server-side symbolication scope into separately actionable work; done requires those areas to be specified and implemented.
