-v1.0.31 — Amber login redesigned for GrapheneOS
+v1.0.32 — Amber login via native Capacitor plugin
 
-- GrapheneOS Vanadium blocks intent: URLs from web pages (security hardening)
-- New flow: tap Open Amber → approve in Amber → app tries clipboard auto-read → if denied, shows paste input for hex pubkey
-- Works on all Android browsers including GrapheneOS Vanadium
+- Replaced all URL-scheme hacks with nostr-signer-capacitor-plugin
+- Plugin uses native Android intents directly — no nostrsigner: URL, no intent: URL, no encoding issues
+- This is how Coracle and other proper Capacitor apps do it
+- Requires: npm run android:build && cap sync android (plugin needs native sync)
