       exactly the permission set listed in step 5 — **no `INTERNET`**, so "nothing leaves the
       device" holds in the shipped artefact, not just in the source manifest.
 - [ ] Upload the **`.aab`** (not the APK) to the Play Console.
+      ⚠️ **Expect a native-debug-symbols warning here, and ignore it.** Play scans the bundle, finds
+      `base/lib/<abi>/libandroidx.graphics.path.so`, and reports *"This App Bundle contains native
+      code, and you've not uploaded debug symbols"*. It is a recommendation, not an error: it does
+      not block the upload, review or rollout.
+      - That one library (4 ABIs, ~37 KB total) is **not** this project's code — it arrives
+        transitively through `androidx.compose.ui:ui-graphics` →
+        `androidx.graphics:graphics-path:1.0.1`. The project has no `ndk` / `externalNativeBuild` /
+        `jniLibs` config and no native sources at all.
+      - There is nothing to upload: the published `graphics-path-1.0.1.aar` ships **stripped** libs
+        (`symtab=0`, no `.debug_*` sections, no symbol entries anywhere in the AAR), and the
+        commonly-suggested fix does not apply — with `ndk.debugSymbolLevel = "FULL"` the build
+        succeeds but produces no `app/build/outputs/native-debug-symbols/` output and adds nothing
+        to the bundle, because AGP only packages symbols for native code it builds itself.
+      - Excluding the lib (`packaging { jniLibs { excludes += "**/libandroidx.graphics.path.so" } }`)
+        would silence the warning but risks `UnsatisfiedLinkError` inside Compose's path handling,
+        for a 37 KB saving. Not worth it.
+      - What it actually costs: symbolication of frames *inside that Compose helper*. Kotlin/Java
+        crashes are unaffected — the R8 mapping rides inside the bundle
+        (`BUNDLE-METADATA/com.android.tools.build.obfuscation/proguard.map`), so Play deobfuscates
+        them automatically.
 - [ ] Keep `app/build/outputs/mapping/release/mapping.txt` for every release so you
       can de-obfuscate crash reports (upload it under *Release > App bundle explorer*).
