From ae05a0dad4a2bb75adc776831aa5505692763e06 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hadrian Burkhardt Date: Wed, 14 Oct 2026 11:22:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] docs: add a hand-recording shot list for the FGS video The script is a convenience, not a requirement: any Android 11+ phone can record the same journey from the quick settings, with no adb and no tooling. Spell out the six steps so the take can be done by hand if that is easier, with the two things a reviewer needs to be able to follow - the trigger, and the service still working after the app leaves the screen. --- docs/PLAY_RELEASE_CHECKLIST.md | 14 ++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+) diff --git a/docs/PLAY_RELEASE_CHECKLIST.md b/docs/PLAY_RELEASE_CHECKLIST.md index e64bab8..934660f 100644 --- a/docs/PLAY_RELEASE_CHECKLIST.md +++ b/docs/PLAY_RELEASE_CHECKLIST.md @@ -275,6 +275,20 @@ action except the items marked **[code]**. screenshots).
