Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the issue on the protected Android app using the gallery-image document scan flow, then compare adding the first image with adding subsequent images. Done means gallery selection no longer loops on fingerprint or credentials and multiple images can be added and edited.
