Remove Backend connection option from Android app

[SayanthRock]

User description

Summary

Removes the user-facing Backend connection option from GitHub Rock completely.

Changes

• Deletes BackendConnectionScreen.kt
• Removes the Backend connection button from App information
• Removes the local screen-navigation state and callback
• Restores the App information subtitle without backend wording
• Updates the Compose UI test so it no longer expects the removed option

Scope

The existing internal backend-assisted authentication fallback is not changed. This pull request removes only the user-configurable Backend connection interface shown in the screenshots, avoiding unrelated authentication regressions.

CodeAnt-AI Description

Remove the Backend connection option from App information

What Changed

• The App information screen no longer shows the “GitHub Rock Backend connection” button.
• The App information header text now describes only app, Android, device, installation, and permission details.
• The separate Backend connection screen was removed, leaving only the Android capabilities & permissions flow.
• The UI test was updated to match the shorter App information screen.

Impact

✅ Fewer confusing app settings
✅ Shorter App information screen
✅ Less chance of opening a removed feature

Nice work! 😎

I didn't find anything of concern

Risk: 🟢 Low

Risk analysis

The highest scoring dimensions are blast_radius and reversibility. The change affects user-facing UI elements across the app, specifically removing the Backend connection option from AppInformationScreen and deleting the entire BackendConnectionScreen, impacting how users interact with backend configuration. Reversibility is moderate because although the UI is removed, the underlying backend authentication fallback remains, making rollback primarily a UI/UX concern. Operational risk is minimal as no new dependencies or infrastructure changes are introduced, and existing functionality remains intact.
