Build Android Binary
Compile a PAM control's Android Kotlin module into the runtime-loadable DEX for a `.ppmplugin`. Creates a staged Gradle build with the pinned wrapper and `react-android` compile dependency, verifies manifest/module/package alignment and runtime-loading constraints, builds the release AAR, then runs `d8 --min-api 24`. Writes `ppmplugin/staging/android/<PascalName>Plugin.dex` and surfaces actionable Gradle or d8 failures. Requires JDK 17+ and Android SDK Build-Tools 35.0.0; `d8` is located from the SDK and system Gradle is optional. Run after /generate-ppmplugin-manifest and before /assemble-ppmplugin.

From the source SKILL.md
Turns the extension's Android source (android/.../<Pascal>Module.kt + <Pascal>Package.kt) into the DEX binary that the wrap runtime loads at runtime via DexClassLoader. This is the heavyweight, toolchain-dependent step of producing a .ppmplugin: source code in, a runnable <Pascal>Plugin.dex out.
