Building "FeeDreader" (renamed 2026-07-23 from "Feeds" — pun on "fee dreader", avoiding
paywalls), a standalone Android RSS/Atom reader app for Peter, package `org.terst.feedreader`,
repo at `/workspace/feedreader` (separate git repo from doot, same local git identity).
Greenfield build authorized with "just go for it - greenfield, simple design, just build."

Core feature set: RSS/Atom subscriptions (now with OPML-category folder grouping +
case-insensitive sort, and a virtual "Last fetch failed" section), full article +
WebView/Readability.js reader-mode view, OPML import/export, keyword mute/highlight filters,
save-to-Stash integration (explicit action, not automatic), Android share-sheet target.
Explicitly excluded: local full-text search, home-screen widget, notifications, social
features. Has an owl-themed adaptive launcher icon (hand-authored vector, no external design
tool available) and a short paywall-avoidance philosophy note in Settings.

**Why:** Inoreader (his prior RSS reader) removed OPML export, forcing a migration off it — his ~107 feeds were pulled via Inoreader's Reader API (ClientLogin) and re-packaged as OPML for import into this app.

**How to apply:** Peter's workflow for this app is hands-on testing rounds — he sideloads a build to his phone, uses it for a while, then sends a batch of bug reports/feature requests in one message. Expect iterative APK rebuild-and-resend cycles, not a single big spec upfront. Room DB schema is at v6 as of 2026-07-23 (added `FeedEntity.folder`); see `AppDatabase.kt`'s migration comments — several past migrations needed a full table rebuild (Room validates exact column match, not just superset) rather than a plain ADD COLUMN.
