docs(android): assess Discord Rich Presence support

[zortos293]

Outcome

Discord Rich Presence is now supported on Android through Discord Social SDK 1.10+, but OpenNOW cannot ship a buildable integration until its Discord application has Social SDK access and the official discord_partner_sdk.aar is supplied through a reviewed, reproducible build path.

This documents why the Electron discord-rpc package and legacy localhost/WebSocket RPC are not appropriate Android substitutes, maps the native app's existing game/session/lifecycle state to a future minimal implementation, and records privacy, lifecycle, ABI, API-level, and validation requirements.

Requested by <@950685454083166229> (Dkprokiller).

Repository evidence reviewed

• android/app/build.gradle.kts and android/app/src/main/cpp/CMakeLists.txt
• android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml
• MainActivity.kt, OpenNowViewModel.kt, Models.kt, Streaming.kt, and GfnApi.kt
• opennow-stable/src/main/discordRpc.ts and the Electron package configuration
• Discord's current Rich Presence, mobile support, standalone Android C++, and platform compatibility documentation

Checks

• git diff --cached --check
• Confirmed all four linked Discord documentation URLs return HTTP 200
• cd android && ./gradlew testDebugUnitTest — could not configure because this runner has no Android SDK (SDK location not found); no application code changed

Remaining prerequisites

The OpenNOW owner must confirm/enable Social SDK access for the Discord application, download and license-review SDK 1.10+, verify its ABI coverage, and define how CI obtains the pinned proprietary AAR without personal credentials.

Visual proof

No screenshot is included because this PR deliberately makes no user-facing Android change: the supported integration cannot be compiled or rendered without the owner-only Discord SDK artifact and Developer Portal setup. Adding a mock UI would imply functionality that the branch cannot deliver or validate.
