Description
Extracted from PostHog/posthog#43012.
Problem
Android capture is Java/Kotlin only (self-documented in posthog_config.dart), with no NDK or native signal handling.
Scope
- NDK native crash capture on Android for Flutter apps.

Research direction
Start by reading posthog_config.dart to confirm the current Java/Kotlin-only Android capture behavior, then map the Flutter and Android integration points needed for NDK support. Done means native C/C++ crashes and signals are captured for Flutter apps on Android, with the resulting reports integrated into the SDK's existing capture flow.
