fix(android): target alarm broadcast to app package so receiver is triggered

Set Intent.setPackage(context.packageName) when creating PendingIntents
for AlarmManager so the broadcast is delivered to DailyNotificationReceiver
on all OEMs. Alarms were firing but the receiver was not invoked when the
component was not explicitly package-targeted.

- NotifyReceiver: setPackage on schedule, cancel, and isAlarmScheduled intents
- ReactivationManager: alarmsExist() use DailyNotificationReceiver + setPackage
- DailyNotificationScheduler: setPackage on ExactAlarmManager path intent

+
+**Xcode Command Line Tools** are required for iOS builds. The build script will verify these are installed:
+
+```bash
+# Install Xcode Command Line Tools (if not already installed)
+xcode-select --install
+```
+

+# Verify xcodebuild is available
+xcodebuild -version

+
+**Note:** The build script automatically checks for Command Line Tools and will fail with clear error messages if they're missing.

 Problem:

+- BUILDING.md didn't mention Xcode Command Line Tools prerequisite

+  (recently added to build-native.sh)
-- Missing Command Line Tools cause build failures without clear error messages
+- clean-build.sh script exists but wasn't documented
+- iOS build troubleshooting lacked Command Line Tools guidance

-  - Detects pkgx SQLite installations in ~/.pkgx
+  - Document installation command (xcode-select --install)
-  - Warns about macOS dylibs that will cause iOS simulator build failures

+## Checking and Installing Prerequisites
+
+### How to check
+
+Run these in a terminal. If a command is missing or a check fails, use the install steps below.
+
+| Requirement      | How to check |
+|------------------|--------------|
+| **Node.js**      | `node --version` (v14+ recommended; test app may require 20+) |
+| **npm**          | `npm --version` |
+| **Java**         | `java -version` (Java 11+; build scripts expect 11+) |
+| **ANDROID_HOME** | `echo $ANDROID_HOME` (must be set to your Android SDK root) |
+| **adb**          | `adb version` (must be on PATH; usually `$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools/adb`) |
+| **emulator**     | `emulator -version` (must be on PATH; usually `$ANDROID_HOME/emulator/emulator`) |
+| **At least one AVD** | `emulator -list-avds` (must list at least one device name) |
+
+**Project script:** From the repo root you can run:
+
+```bash
+node scripts/check-environment.js
+```
+
+This checks Node, npm, Java, and `ANDROID_HOME`. It does **not** check `adb`, `emulator`, or AVDs—verify those manually as above.
+
+### How to install
+
+- **Node.js and npm**  
+  - Install from [nodejs.org](https://nodejs.org/) (LTS), or on macOS: `brew install node`.
+
+- **Java (JDK 11+)**  
+  - macOS: `brew install openjdk@17` and follow the caveats to link (e.g. `sudo ln -sfn $(brew --prefix)/opt/openjdk@17/libexec/openjdk.jdk /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/openjdk-17.jdk`).  
+  - Or install [Eclipse Temurin](https://adoptium.net/) / [Oracle JDK](https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/) and ensure `java` and `javac` are on your PATH.
+
+- **Android SDK (without Android Studio)**  
+  1. Download the [Command-line tools only](https://developer.android.com/studio#command-tools) package for your OS.  
+  2. Create an SDK directory, e.g. `mkdir -p ~/android-sdk` and extract the zip so that you have `~/android-sdk/cmdline-tools/latest/` (the `bin` folder with `sdkmanager` and `avdmanager` must be inside `cmdline-tools/latest/`).  
+  3. Set environment variables (add to `~/.zshrc` or `~/.bashrc`):
+
+     ```bash
+     export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/android-sdk
+     export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/cmdline-tools/latest/bin:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$ANDROID_HOME/emulator
+     ```
+
+  4. Install required SDK packages (accept licenses when prompted):
+
+     ```bash
+     sdkmanager "platform-tools"
+     sdkmanager "emulator"
+     sdkmanager "platforms;android-35"
+     sdkmanager "build-tools;35.0.0"
+     ```
+
+     Install a system image that matches your host CPU:
+     - **Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3, aarch64):** `sdkmanager "system-images;android-35;google_apis;arm64-v8a"`
+     - **Intel Mac / Windows / Linux (x86_64):** `sdkmanager "system-images;android-35;google_apis;x86_64"`
+
+  5. Create at least one AVD (use the same image type you installed):
+
+     **Apple Silicon:**
+     ```bash
+     avdmanager create avd -n Pixel8_API35 -k "system-images;android-35;google_apis;arm64-v8a" -d "pixel_8"
+     ```
+
+     **Intel / x86_64:**
+     ```bash
+     avdmanager create avd -n Pixel8_API35 -k "system-images;android-35;google_apis;x86_64" -d "pixel_8"
+     ```
+
+  Then start the emulator with: `emulator -avd Pixel8_API35 -no-snapshot-load &` and use `adb wait-for-device` before building/installing the app.
+
+- **Gradle**  
+  The project uses the Gradle Wrapper (`gradlew`) inside the app’s `android` directory. No separate Gradle install is needed.
+
+After installing, run the checks again to confirm `adb`, `emulator`, and `emulator -list-avds` work.
