Extend the local preflight gate from api36 (the sole latest-API GMD
run) to api35 + api36, the top two stable levels in the E2E matrix.
Both Gradle Managed Devices already existed in app/build.gradle.kts
(the api29..36 loop) — confirmed via `:app:tasks --group verification`,
no emulator run needed.
API 37 (preview) was investigated but NOT added as a GMD: its only
published system image is the nonstandard "android-37.0" /
google_apis_ps16k pairing that ci.yml's e2e-preview job installs by
hand via sdkmanager. ManagedVirtualDevice's apiLevel (Int) builds
"android-<N>" and apiPreview (codename) builds "android-<Codename>" —
neither produces "android-37.0", the same gap ci.yml documents as why
reactivecircus/android-emulator-runner can't provision it either.
docs/perf/issue-124-unified-inbox-paging.md independently corroborates
this: its API 37 measurements used a physical Pixel, not an AVD. There
is no api37DebugAndroidTest task to run, so it stays CI-only
(e2e-preview) until a managed-device-compatible image ships; the
comment above testOptions.managedDevices in app/build.gradle.kts now
documents this in detail for the next person who looks.
.claude/skills/preflight/SKILL.md and CLAUDE.md are updated to run
both api35DebugAndroidTest and api36DebugAndroidTest as part of the
required gate, with the API 37 gap called out inline.
