+- Request: the product owner asked for 0.2.4 to be published.

+  to `main`; `UBGitea.apk` and `version.json` on the `apk` branch replaced.
+- Checks and results: the five required checks pass; lint 0 errors. The APK downloaded from the
+  `apk` branch has the same SHA-256 as the one built here.
+- Caution: published without having been seen on a device, at the product owner's decision.
+  0.2.3 and older still update through the browser download; the in-app update is first used
+  going from 0.2.4 to whatever comes next, so it stays unproven until then.

+# TASK-074: Publish 0.2.4 to the team's Gitea
+
+Status: done
+Owner: Claude
+Reviewer: human product owner
+
+## Request
+
+The product owner asked for the update without a downloaded file (TASK-073) to be published as
+0.2.4 (2026-10-12).
+
+## Writable paths
+
+- `app/build.gradle.kts`
+- `tasks/074-publish-0.2.4.md`
+- `docs/development-log.md`
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [x] Version 0.2.4, versionCode 6.
+- [x] The source is on `main` of the team's repository.
+- [x] `UBGitea.apk` and `version.json` on the `apk` branch are 0.2.4, and the downloaded APK is
+  byte-identical to the one built here.
+
+## Security and privacy
+
+The APK is the debug build, signed with this PC's debug key, as before. No secret is in it or in
+the push.
+
+## Required checks
+
+```text
+./gradlew compileDebugKotlin compileDebugUnitTestKotlin testDebugUnitTest assembleDebug lintDebug
+```
+
+## Evidence
+
+See the development log entry for TASK-074.
+
+## Review findings
+
+None.
