Before testing

This is a test build.

Bugs and staging-server data resets are possible. Do not keep the only copy of important quotes in Margent Beta. Version 0.8.0 has confirmed sync issues and may lose a draft after restarting. Save a finished quote to the library and confirm it appears; do not rely on drafts as a backup. Camera and background behavior still need real-device testing.
