<p>Changes since the 2025010700 release:</p>
<ul>
<li>fix upstream Android lockscreen triggered by the combination of fully disabling animations (via Settings > Accessibility > Color and motion > Remove animations) and enabling always-on display (Settings > Display > Lock screen > Always show time and info) which due to a bug in the upstream code for handling disabling animations resulted in the user interface locking process getting stuck and not considering the device locked until it wakes again which bypassed restrictions on biometric unlocking since it can be done while asleep</li>
<li>fix upstream Android lockscreen triggered by the combination of fully disabling animations (via Settings > Accessibility > Color and motion > Remove animations) and enabling always-on display (Settings > Display > Lock screen > Always show time and info) which results in the locking process getting stuck and not considering the device locked until it wakes again due to not skipping animations as intended (this did not create a lockscreen bypass but did result in valid biometric unlock credentials skipping restrictions)</li>
<li>add protection against upstream lockscreen bugs bypassing restrictions on biometric unlocking while the device is asleep including the standard restrictions and our recently added 2-factor fingerprint unlock feature</li>
<li>kernel (Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8a, Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro Fold): enable hardware memory tagging for the main kernel allocators via the upstream Hardware Tag-Based KASAN implementation (which is intended for production usage, unlike the other KASAN modes)</li>
<li>kernel (Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8a, Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro Fold): switch KASAN fault handling from report to panic to use it as a hardening feature instead of only a bug finding tool</li>
