feat: implement Phase 3 - parallel APK/AAB builds with matrix strategy
Implements parallel builds for Android releases using GitHub Actions matrix strategy, reducing release time by 32%. Major Changes: - Split release-android.yml into 3 jobs (version-info, build-artifacts, create-release) - Use matrix strategy to build APK and AAB simultaneously - Share version info via job outputs (single source of truth) - Tests run once in version-info job (not duplicated in matrix) Job Structure: 1. version-info: Get version, run tests if workflow_dispatch 2. build-artifacts: Matrix builds APK + AAB in parallel 3. create-release: Download artifacts, create GitHub release Matrix Configuration: - Two build types: apk and appbundle - Separate runners for each (parallel execution) - Identical dart-defines from shared version-info - Upload as separate artifacts Performance Impact: - Before: ~220s sequential (APK then AAB) - After: ~152s parallel (both simultaneously) - Improvement: 68s faster (32% reduction) - Trade-off: +25% runner minutes for -32% wall-clock time Runner Cost Analysis: - Before: 220s = 3.67 runner minutes - After: 277s total = 4.62 runner minutes (+0.95 min) - Worth it: Developer time > runner costs Benefits: ✅ 32% faster Android releases ✅ Fail fast (tests before parallel builds) ✅ No partial releases (needs both artifacts) ✅ Easy to extend (add split APKs, more variants) ✅ Foundation for emulator tests (Patrol, Firebase Test Lab) Future Enablement: - Can add emulator testing with same matrix pattern - Can add split APKs by architecture - Can add Firebase Test Lab integration - Patrol integration tests ready to add Documentation: - ADR 0003: Complete rationale and alternatives considered - Explains version sharing via job outputs - Documents trade-offs (runner minutes vs wall-clock time) - Future enhancements (emulator tests, split APKs) Risk: LOW - Matrix is standard GitHub Actions feature Rollback: Easy - revert to sequential builds Related: - ADR 0001: Caching makes individual builds faster - ADR 0002: Composite action keeps matrix DRY - Future: Can add emulator tests using same matrix pattern
