Description

I have setup a biometric lock. Why is the content of the app visible behind the lock? Shouldn't the content of the note app be masked until the app is successfully unlocked?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with biometric lock enabled and observe the Android app while it is locked. Trace the lock and screen lifecycle to find where note content remains visible; done means note content is masked until biometric authentication succeeds. No file or test is named in the issue.
