Research direction

Start with EditableFileAbstraction.java:62 and TextEditorActivity.java:140, then trace how the download-provider URI reaches the text editor on Android 11. Reproduce the reported crash with a file from the downloads provider and inspect the Android document-access flow. Done means opening that file in the editor no longer raises the reported SecurityException.
