New in 1.1.3:
• Shared apiaries — invited helpers now reliably see the owner's hives
• Smoother first login — fixed a setup loop that could send new sign-ins back to onboarding
• Android polish — buttons and quick actions no longer hide behind the navigation bar, and text notes stay above the keyboard
• Clearer "Quick Inspect" shortcut on the apiary screen
