Add Quick Settings tile to launch Card Store from system UI

[Copilot]

This PR adds a Quick Settings entry point so users can open Card Store without navigating home/app drawer. Tapping the tile launches the main app activity directly from any foreground context.

• Quick Settings Tile Service

  • Introduced AppLaunchTileService (TileService) to handle tile taps.
  • On tap, builds an explicit Intent to MainActivity with task/top flags for predictable resume/bring-to-front behavior.
  • Uses API-appropriate launch path:
    • Android 14+ via startActivityAndCollapse(PendingIntent)
    • Older versions via legacy startActivityAndCollapse(Intent)

• Manifest Registration

  • Registered tile service in AndroidManifest.xml with:
    • android.permission.BIND_QUICK_SETTINGS_TILE
    • QS_TILE intent filter action
    • tile icon and label metadata

• User-visible Label

  • Added quick_settings_tile_label string resource: “Open CardStore”

class AppLaunchTileService : TileService() {
  override fun onClick() {
    val launchIntent =
      Intent(this, MainActivity::class.java).apply {
        addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP)
      }

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.UPSIDE_DOWN_CAKE) {
      startActivityAndCollapse(
        PendingIntent.getActivity(
          this,
          0,
          launchIntent,
          PendingIntent.FLAG_IMMUTABLE or PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT,
        ),
      )
    } else {
      @Suppress("DEPRECATION") startActivityAndCollapse(launchIntent)
    }
  }
}

app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml	Service registration with permissions, MainActivity launchMode configuration

[Copilot]

The PR description claims this code uses FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP but the actual implementation only uses FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK. Since MainActivity is configured with launchMode="singleTask" in the manifest, the current approach will work correctly - singleTask mode automatically clears activities above it in the task. However, the PR description should be updated to match the actual implementation, or if FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP was intentionally omitted, this should be documented.
