 name: Build APK
 
-# Lets anyone download a sideloadable APK directly from the pipeline.
-# Triggers on manual dispatch, on pushes to the feature branch, and on PRs.
-# Builds a debug-signed APK (no keystore needed in CI) and uploads it as an artifact.
+# Produces a downloadable, installable test APK for every feature/fix branch push
+# and every PR to main, as standard CI/CD practice (see issue #5).
+# - Uploads the APK as a pipeline artifact (fast download from the run).
+# - Publishes it as an automated pre-release keyed to the source branch/PR,
+#   updated in place so old test builds don't accumulate.
