FOSS Compliance + Permission & Tracking Fixes

FOSS Changes

• Replaced jsQR with @paulmillr/qr — actively maintained QR decoder (Apache/MIT dual-license), zero native dependencies
• Removed Google dependency metadata block from APK

Permission Flow (Rewritten)

• Notification permission properly requested on first login (Android 13+) with Settings redirect if denied
• Background location ("Allow all the time") — guided step-by-step flow. If the system dialog doesn't work (Android 11+), user is directed to Settings
• Battery optimization — prompt to disable after location permissions granted
• Warning on denial — clear feedback when permissions are denied

Persistent Location Notification

• "Sharing your location" notification now reliably stays visible — background tracking service is restarted every time the app comes to foreground
• Recovers from notification swipe — if the user dismisses the notification from the notification center, it reappears when the app is opened
• Recovers from Android killing the service — AppState listener detects foreground transition and re-ensures tracking

Bug Fixes

• Fixed QR code scanning (CJS/ESM import interop with Metro bundler)
• Fixed app crash on startup from v0.7.4
• Fixed notifications not working for invites and geofence alerts
