+🩹 Stronger native boot recovery
+- Bumped the app-shell worker cache to v3; old shell caches are deleted on
+  activate.
+- `boot-guard.js` is no longer cached by the service worker, so a stale worker
+  can never trap the app in its own cleanup path.
+- Native WebViews unregister old app-shell workers and clear their caches before
+  the bundle runs. Web registrations use updateViaCache: none.
+

 🩹 Fix native white/black reload loop
 - Native installs now clear any old app-shell service worker and
   `skate-spots-shell-*` cache from `https://localhost` before the bundle runs.
