 - Never edit files under `node_modules/`. The toolkit is locked at aiot-toolkit
   2.0.5; do not upgrade it casually (release uses plain JS, not JSC/protobuf).
 - Tests must pass before any commit: `npm test` (pure Node, no watch needed).
 - Bump `versionName`/`versionCode` in `src/manifest.json` for any release.
   Hotfixes: `0.9-Hotfix.1` style, versionCode still increments (integer only).
