Root cause: quickCapture.ts relied on window.Capacitor.Plugins.Camera,
which is only populated once something imports '@capacitor/camera'. Since
we deliberately never import that package (to avoid the old white-screen
crash), the plugin was never registered, the native check failed, and Quick
Snap fell through to the web file input — opening the gallery.
Fix: use Capacitor's official registerPlugin('Camera') from the bundled
@capacitor/core. This returns a proxy that dispatches to the native Camera
implementation over the bridge without needing the JS @capacitor/camera
package to self-register, and without putting a bare '@capacitor/camera'
specifier in the bundle. Applied the same pattern to CameraCapture.tsx.
Also: on a permission error, show a clear "enable camera access" toast
instead of silently opening the gallery.

The previous file-input-only approach fixed the crash but opened the gallery
on native because capture="environment" is only a hint the OS can ignore.
New platform-aware flow (lib/quickCapture.ts):
- Native (APK): open the OS camera directly via the runtime-injected
window.Capacitor.Plugins.Camera with source:'CAMERA' — forces the real
camera and gives built-in preview/retake. Accessed off the runtime object,
so no '@capacitor/camera' specifier in the bundle (keeps the white-screen
fix intact). User cancel is treated as a no-op.
- Web: falls back to the file input with capture="environment".
- If the native camera errors, gracefully falls back to the file input.
MapPage Quick Snap now routes through handleQuickSnap() → the captured photo
feeds the existing upload → create-spot flow unchanged. Bump 1.0.69.
