Summary

A small follow-up to #364 (voice notes and audio in chat), Android only. It replaces #432: same commit, opened from this branch instead.

On Android, if you left a chat while a voice note was still loading, the player could finish preparing after its card was gone and start playing with nothing on screen to stop it. SharedAudio now checks whether the card was released when the player comes back from preparing; if so, it releases that player right away and never starts it.

• SharedAudio.kt: release a player that finishes preparing after the card was released, instead of keeping and starting it.
• SharedAudioTest.kt: a regression test that releases a card while its sound prepares, then checks that the player is released, never plays, and that a second release does nothing.
• Docs: docs/features/file-attachments.md and the user manual's web/content/docs/conversations.mdx.

iPhone and desktop are unaffected: they already drop a note that loads after its card is gone, and #364's iPhone tests cover a card closed mid-load. The terminal UI doesn't play audio.

I left the version bump and the WhatsNew.md sections for you to add when you release; my release notes are below.

Validation

• Android: :app:testDebugUnitTest passes with SharedAudioTest at 10/10, including the new test.
• Not run on the emulator: the race depends on when the system's media player finishes preparing, which I can't time from a UI test, so the unit test holds the prepare step open to reproduce it.

Summary

Type: bug fix | Areas: Android, web, docs | Priority: P2: medium

Android now releases audio that finishes preparing after its chat card is removed.

• Android voice notes do not start after their chat card disappears.

plotarmordev explicitly deferred the version bump and release-note files to release. They also reported skipping emulator validation because the preparation timing is controlled in the unit test. Tests were not rerun during this review.
