Research direction

Reproduce the permission request on Android 15 using a Lenovo Y700 G5 tablet, comparing nightly 1.22.2 with the stable 1.22.2 build. Start by collecting the relevant Android permission and installation logs; done means the nightly build grants storage or equivalent permissions after the request is approved.
