 GlitchTip is configured in the project. It uses the open source solution Senstry to log crashes
 generated by the app and send them to GlitchTip on a European server.

+## StrictMode (debug builds)
+
+The app enables Android [StrictMode](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/StrictMode)
+**only for debuggable builds** (gated on debug versions, so release builds are never affected).
+
+Both the thread policy (disk/network on the main thread, etc.) and the VM policy (leaked
+`Closeable`s, activity leaks, etc.) are enabled and logged to Logcat.
+
+To see violations, filter Logcat for the `StrictMode` tag while running a debug build:
+
+```bash
+./gradlew :androidApp:installDebug
+adb logcat -s StrictMode
+```
+
