+/**
+ * Inject the Amber (NIP-55) <queries> block into the Android manifest.
+ *
+ * WHY THIS EXISTS
+ * ───────────────
+ * On Android 11+ (and GrapheneOS enforces this strictly), an app can only see
+ * or launch another app if it declares a matching <queries> entry. Without it,
+ * the nostrsigner intent that opens Amber is SILENTLY blocked by the OS and the
+ * native signer call hangs forever — the classic "Waiting for Amber…" bug.
+ *
+ * Capacitor regenerates android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml on `cap add`
+ * and can touch it on sync, so hand-editing is fragile. This script is
+ * idempotent and runs automatically as part of the android build, guaranteeing
+ * the block is always present in the APK we ship.
+ *
+ * If android/ hasn't been generated yet (fresh checkout), it exits quietly.
