Version 13278: Breaking Down the Build Number

• Hardening reduces some IPC/intent-exploit vectors; attackers may need more sophisticated bypasses.
• Play Integrity updates improve attestation reliability, reducing risk of spoofed device/app state claims.
• On-device ML model updates may process more telemetry locally; verify any feature relying on local models for privacy-sensitive tasks.
