JMR-devandClaude Opus 5 842965a479 Say who closed the picker, because it was us and the KDoc denied it
The commit below describes "a back press aimed at a picker that had closed five seconds
earlier". The timing is right and the agency is wrong, and the agency is the interesting
half. Re-read out of the same logcat:

  20:59:35.686  UiDevice: Retrieving node ... [RES='android:id/button1'].
  20:59:35.689  UiObject2: Clicking on (927, 2274).
  20:59:36.033  MainActivity RESUMED
  20:59:36.350  VRI[PickActivity]: visibilityChanged ... newVisibility=false

`aerr_wait` and `aerr_close` both missed on that iteration and `dismissASystemErrorDialog`
fell through to `android:id/button1` -- the framework's generic AlertDialog positive button,
which is on every AlertDialog on the device. It hit one inside DocumentsUI, and that is what
closed the picker. The picker did not close on its own; this class closed it.

So the destroyed Activity and #271 are one incident rather than two findings that happened
to share a trace, and the loop's shape is three iterations rather than two: iteration 2
closes the picker through `button1` and then presses back into an app that is already in
front, iteration 3 dismisses the launcher's ANR dialog and presses again, and that press
finishes MainActivity.

It also sharpens what the fix does. With the re-read, iteration 2 returns -- the app is
focused within a second of the `button1` click -- so neither of the two presses that
followed it happens at all. The previous message implied the fix caught only the last one.

`requireAReadableScreen` now drops a Boolean return value, which this codebase treats as a
smell. It is correct there -- the `device.wait` on the next line is the re-probe -- and the
call site says so rather than leaving a reader to work out whether it was an oversight.

No behaviour change beyond the comment: the fix itself is unchanged and the sweep is re-run
because `app/src` is touched.
