Keep the changelog workflow consistent with the new release heading.

CHANGELOG.md now starts with ## [v1.0.2], but CONTRIBUTING.md Lines 86-91 still instruct contributors to use ## [Unreleased]. Add a new ## [Unreleased] section above v1.0.2, or update the contributor and release-workflow instructions. Otherwise, future release notes can be omitted from the tag-specific section.

Verify each finding against current code. Fix only still-valid issues, skip the
rest with a brief reason, keep changes minimal, and validate.

In `@CHANGELOG.md` at line 8, Update the changelog workflow so the release heading
remains consistent with contributor guidance: add a ## [Unreleased] section
above ## [v1.0.2] in CHANGELOG.md, preserving the existing v1.0.2 notes below
it.


### Added

- **Setup permissions**: storage and notification permissions are now requested on the welcome screen during setup instead of when the terminal opens.
- **Custom bash templates**: create your own named `.bashrc` templates in Settings → Bash templates, then edit or delete them; deleting a template resets any distro using it back to its original `.bashrc`.
- **Custom bash templates**: create your own named `.bashrc` templates in Settings → Bashrc templates, then edit or delete them; deleting a template resets any distro using it back to its original `.bashrc`.
- **Custom fonts**: import your own `.ttf`/`.otf` fonts in Settings — one at a time or several at once from the storage picker — then select them from the font dropdown or the terminal's Fonts menu; custom fonts can be renamed and removed, and names default to the file name without the extension.
- **Modern back button**: the back control is now a round, theme-aware chip; it also appears on the main page and in Settings, with the same style applied in the terminal, file browser and bash templates screens.

- **Theme sync**: changing the theme in Settings or from the terminal's Theme menu now broadcasts the change, so the main page and every other screen repaint immediately with the selected theme.
- The terminal's Fonts menu lists imported custom fonts and refreshes every time the menu opens.
- Settings page shows version v1.0.2.
- Settings label renamed to **Bashrc templates**.
- **Toolchain**: Gradle 8.13 → 8.14.5, Kotlin 2.3.0 → 2.4.10, `compileSdk` 35 → 36; dependency updates across androidx (lifecycle 2.8.7 → 2.11.0, activity 1.9.3 → 1.13.0, material 1.12.0 → 1.14.0, constraintlayout 2.2.0 → 2.2.2, appcompat, preference, viewpager2), commons-compress 1.27.1 → 1.28.0 and xz 1.10 → 1.12; `core-ktx` pinned at 1.18.0 (1.19.0 requires AGP 9.1 and compileSdk 37).
- GitHub Actions updated: `setup-android` v3 → v4, `setup-java` v4 → v5.6.0, `gradle/actions/wrapper-validation` v3 → v6.

### Fixed

- **Android 7.0/7.1 support**: the app no longer crashes on API 24–25 at startup (`NotificationChannel` is now only created on Android 8+), and distro extraction/repair no longer calls `java.nio.file` (API 26) or `Process#destroyForcibly` (API 26) unguarded — symlinks are created with `Os.symlink` (API 21+), so first-time setup and busybox repair work on Android 7+.
- CI: official Gradle wrapper jar (checksum validation was failing), compileSdk 36 for the new androidx versions, lint set to non-fatal, docs updated with the current build requirements.
