Research direction
Start with quicksettings/NewNoteTileService.java at line 28 and the Android API 34 stacktrace, then reproduce the crash by tapping the New Note quick settings tile. Done means the tile opens the New Note screen without crashing on Android 14 while preserving the existing behavior.
