+ *
+ * A host app that starts us without FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK drops the started
+ * activity into its own task, so the editor used to show up as a screen of that
+ * app (it lived in that app's stack, back returned there). MainActivity cannot
+ * fix that itself: bailing out in onCreate would either boot React twice or skip
+ * super.onCreate and crash onDestroy.
+ *
+ * So the share filters live here. This activity never draws (NoDisplay theme):
+ * it hands the same intent to MainActivity with NEW_TASK — singleTask then routes
+ * it to our own task, or re-delivers it to the running instance — and finishes.
+ * The editor is therefore always a task of its own.
