+// Bugsnag joins an uploaded mapping file to an incoming event on build UUID, falling back

+// plugin emits the UUID as a string resource that bugsnag-android never reads (it looks for
+// manifest meta-data only) and that resource shrinking strips anyway, and the mapping upload
+// omits `build-uuid` unless the `bugsnag` block below sets it. The commit SHA gives both
+// sides the same value — the app build and the upload task run against the same HEAD in the
+// release workflow — and going through the manifest keeps it out of the shrinker's reach.
