- Refactored `ExternalDictionaryHelper` to streamline dictionary discovery using `Intent.ACTION_PROCESS_TEXT` and `colordict.intent.action.SEARCH`.
- Added a package blocklist in `ExternalDictionaryHelper` to filter out system services (e.g., Samsung Pass, GMS) from dictionary lists.
- Simplified `launchDictionary` logic to prioritize `PROCESS_TEXT` intents.

- Updated `Paginator` measurement logic to calculate block height and splitting points based on individual side widths.
Background pre-processing for single-file imports (MD/TXT) was generating empty DB cache entries because it only looked at RAM content. This caused position saves in Vertical Mode to fail. This fix ensures that an empty cache entry triggers a disk-read fallback to generate valid semantic blocks on-demand.

docs: Revamp README and add APK naming convention
This commit introduces a complete overhaul of the `README.md` to improve project presentation. Key changes include:
* Adds a new header with the app icon and a Google Play badge.
* Updates the feature graphic and includes a note distinguishing the OSS version from the Play Store version.
* Refines the "Open Source Libraries" section to be more structured.
* Moves the main preview image into the `docs` directory.
Additionally, the `app/build.gradle.kts` file is updated to configure a standardized naming convention for output APK files, including flavor, version, and build type.
* refactor copyright headers and fix README icon alignment
This commit introduces two main changes across the codebase:
The `spotless/copyright.kt` template have been updated for consistency:
* The author name is simplified from "Episteme Authors" to "Episteme".
* The contact email prefix is shortened from "Electronic mail:" to "mail:".
Second, the `README.md` file is adjusted to correct the vertical alignment of the app icon with the project title.
