The app hands its log to Dev Updater on the phone, not through ai-server

Iris's call once the upload route was working: put it in Dev Updater
properly. So the app now exposes its own ring through a ContentProvider
at `<applicationId>.devlog` -- Dev Updater's contract, written down in
that project's README, not something invented here -- and Dev Updater's
phone app reads it on the same device and forwards it to its own build
machine. No tunnel, no token, no second enrolment, and any app that
server delivers can implement the same and get the same Runtime tab.

`DevLogProvider.java` plus `devlog.rs` are the platform glue only: a flat
`String[]` across JNI, a `MatrixCursor` on the Java side, and
`nativeReady` telling Rust the authority the provider actually
registered, so the Diagnostics pane can name somewhere a reader can
query rather than composing a guess. `LogRing::newest_seq()` is the one
addition in `client-core`: an in-memory ring starts again at zero, so it
is what lets a reader notice the process restarted instead of silently
skipping everything since.

Deleted with it, so there is one mechanism: `client_core::log_upload`,
`POST /client-log` on ai-server, the `AI_APP_LOG_*` baking (which left
`build.rs` with nothing to do), and the uploader on both Android
clients. Kept: the ring, `RingLogger`, `install_process_logger`, and the
Diagnostics line -- whose second half is now `devlog provider:
content://<authority>`.

Verified end to end on this checkout's emulator: iris's own
`iris::android::view` startup lines read out of the provider by the
shell, forwarded by Dev Updater's Runtime tab, and served back from
`GET /apps/android-app/components/app/logs?kind=runtime`. A component
whose package has no provider says so in as many words.

## 2026-09-07 (how a phone log reaches Iris)
## 2026-09-07 (a phone log reaches Iris through Dev Updater's own tab)
**Supersedes the "how a phone log reaches Iris" entry below, same day.**
Iris's call once the route was working: put it in Dev Updater properly
rather than smuggling the lines through `ai-server`'s log.
- **The app exposes its own log on the device, and Dev Updater reads it
there.** A `ContentProvider` at `<applicationId>.devlog`, one table of
lines queried with `?since=<seq>` so a poll is incremental, plus a
`status` row (`held`, `dropped`, `newest_seq`). Dev Updater's phone app
polls it while the component's **Runtime** tab is open and forwards what
is new to its own build machine, into that APK component's runtime log
-- so the same tab renders both kinds and the history outlives the
phone. No tunnel, no token, no second enrolment: the two apps are on the
same phone.
**It is a contract, not a feature for iris.** Written down in
dev-updater's `README.md` ("An app's own log"), so any app that server
delivers gets the tab by implementing it; the Compose app in `app/` can
do the same later. That is the reason it beat the route below on its
second look -- the earlier one only ever worked for the one project that
had a server, and put a phone's lines under a *different component* than
the one they came from.
- **Read access is `protectionLevel="normal"`, and that is a real trade.**
`signature` is what this wants and is not available: Dev Updater and the
apps it delivers are built on one machine but signed with different
locally generated keys, so a signature permission would be held by
nothing at all. What `normal` costs is that any app on that phone which
requests `dev.updater.permission.READ_DEVLOG` by name can read another
app's dev log. Accepted because these are development builds on a
development phone and the alternative was no log; stated in the manifest
beside the declaration and in dev-updater's README so it is not
rediscovered as a surprise.
- **The provider polls rather than notifying.** `notifyChange` was not
implemented: the ring is filled by a `log::Log` backend on whatever
thread logged, and giving that a route to a `ContentProvider` means
plumbing a callback through `client-core` for every platform. Dev
Updater's contract therefore says it polls (about a second, only while
the tab is open), which is what keeps implementing the contract cheap --
a provider that does notify loses nothing.
- **What was deleted, so there is one mechanism**: `client-core`'s
`log_upload` module, `POST /client-log` on `ai-server`, the
`AI_APP_LOG_HOST`/`_PORT`/`_TOKEN` baking in `iris/android-app/build.rs`
(which left that file with nothing to do, so it is gone too), and the
uploader fields on both Android clients. Kept: the ring, `RingLogger`,
`install_process_logger`, and the Diagnostics line counting what is
held. The upload-status line there is now **"devlog provider:
content://<authority>"** -- named from what the provider registered
rather than composed from the package here, so a screenshot of that pane
is evidence the contract is live and says which package's log it is.
