Purpose

Complete #405 in an actual release build after 3.9.26 inadvertently shipped only the disabled debug prototype.

Changes

• Move the independently animated HD storm-cloud renderer and Natural rainy sky grade from debug-only code into shared code, removing release-only no-ops.
• Enable storm clouds for release builds by default and preserve debug opt-in behavior.
• Record Emanuele's explicit publication permission, his source/provenance explanation, and his supporting image.
• Prepare the four reviewed, hash-verified RGBA cloud sprites in the existing tag-triggered release workflow. The source originals are never fetched at app runtime.
• Fail production builds when enabled artwork or provenance is missing, or when the release renderer and packaged PNGs disagree.
• Inspect the release APK and AAB for matching high-definition cloud PNGs.
• Add real-sprite Android instrumentation coverage and packaging regression tests.

Validation

• Connected Android instrumentation: Maintainer reports passing on November 6, 2026. Exact command, device and output have not been supplied here, so this is maintainer-reported rather than an independently reproduced run.
• Python release packaging regression tests: 5 passed in previous local verification.
• CI Test, CodeQL, and release build on this HEAD: pending confirmation.
• Signed release APK/AAB content and real-device motion/landscape acceptance: not yet verified on this HEAD.
• No update released by this PR. Do not announce Cloud Change Test Request #405 as available until the published release artifacts actually contain and activate the new renderer and sprites.

Notes

This modifies the existing permanent release workflow rather than adding an ad hoc workflow, preserves untouched dry-weather/snow/sleet paths, and deliberately leaves #405 open until the feature is deployed and confirmed.

Related: merged prototype #410.
