- New: long-press the mode key for a sticky picker that jumps
  straight to EZ / English / Numbers / Emoji — no more cycling
  through three modes to reach the one you want.
- New: the long-press popup for accented letters and
  punctuation alternates is now sticky and tap-to-pick. Hold
  to open, lift your finger, then tap the variant — and any
  keypress elsewhere dismisses the popup.
- Polish: extra 8 dp gap below the keyboard so the system
  navigation globe icon is harder to mis-tap, plus a fix for a
  press-preview popup that briefly stretched the full screen
  width on EZ keys.
- Tests: broaden host-side and instrumented coverage across
  the data layer (English / emoji / CIN parsers) and the
  keyboard view-model state machine.
