 `gradlew` auto-detects the Android SDK at `~/Library/Android/sdk` (macOS default) if `ANDROID_SDK_ROOT` / `ANDROID_HOME` are unset.

+Benchmark script behavior:
+
+- Runs only `StartupMacrobenchmark#coldStartup` (10 iterations).
+- Prints median/min/max/COV in one line.
+- Writes timestamped snapshot JSON to `apps/android/benchmark/results/`.
+- Auto-compares with previous local snapshot (or pass explicit baseline: `--baseline <old-benchmarkData.json>`).
+
+Hotspot script behavior:
+
+- Ensures debug app installed, captures startup `simpleperf` data for `.MainActivity`.
+- Prints top DSOs, top symbols, and key app-path clues (Compose/MainActivity/WebView).
+- Writes raw `perf.data` path for deeper follow-up if needed.
