Why

The Android app builds its web UI from the aw-server-rust gitlink, which in
turn pins aw-webui:

Makefile:15  WEBUI_SRCDIR := aw-server-rust/aw-webui
Makefile:290 make --directory=aw-server-rust/aw-webui build

The current pin is 69e0ac4d, whose aw-webui pin is d6e9d707 — the old
six-language registry (en, uk, de, ru, zh-CN, sv). The Play Store
review that started the locale work asked for Arabic, and the frontend now has
16 registered languages (Arabic, Urdu, Swahili, Bengali, Indonesian,
Japanese, Hindi, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese …) at the verified
frontend revision d7d45cda.

Change

Advance only the aw-server-rust submodule pointer, 69e0ac4d →
96c64e58 (the ActivityWatch/aw-server-rust#829 merge commit on master; same tree as the PR head 8c15470). No Gradle, Kotlin, Rust or resource changes.

8c15470 is the reviewed head of [ActivityWatch/aw-server-rust#829], whose
aw-webui pin is d7d45cda. That aw-server-rust revision passed its own CI
(Android, macOS, Windows, Ubuntu, clippy, format) with this exact pin.

Status

ActivityWatch/aw-server-rust#829 merged 2026-10-26 as 96c64e58, a descendant of the current pin 69e0ac4d (4 ahead, 0 behind). The pin now points at that master commit, so this PR is ready.

Verification

• aw-webui at d7d45cda: locale key/placeholder/order checks pass, 16
  registered + picker locales, 1,127 Jest tests pass (21 skipped), production
  webpack build passes, and isolated real-browser checks covered every picker
  selection, server/localStorage persistence and reload, plus Arabic/Urdu
  direction switching at 1280px and 390px
  (Complete i18n suite aw-webui#1137)
• The Android APK build and an installed-WebView check are not verified
  here; CI on this PR is the build check. Play Store availability is not
  claimed by this PR
• Translations are machine-drafted and not native-reviewed

Keeping this draft until ActivityWatch/aw-server-rust#829 merges; that dependency is still open. Greptile found no blocking issue (5/5), and the Android server build is still running. No pin change or CI rerun is needed now.

[TimeToBuildBob]

CI evidence on this head: `Build aw-server-rust` passed (8m49s) and `Test` passed (3m26s).

That job is the one that matters here: it checks out the pinned `aw-server-rust` submodule and runs `make --directory=aw-server-rust/aw-webui build` (`Makefile:290`), so it proves both that the `8c15470` submodule fetch resolves and that the 16-locale frontend (aw-webui `d7d45cda`) compiles in the Android build. Greptile is 5/5 with no findings.

Still outstanding, and unchanged: the remaining CI jobs (E2E, release-variant smoke), an installed-WebView check on a real device, and a published Play Store build — none of which this PR claims.

[TimeToBuildBob]

ActivityWatch/aw-server-rust#829 merged as 96c64e58. Re-pointed the gitlink to it (3a702bd; identical tree to the old 8c15470 head, tree 2a26dcb4) and marked this ready. The pin is now an aw-server-rust master commit carrying aw-webui d7d45cda (16 locales). CI on the new head will be the Android build check; the installed-WebView check and Play Store availability remain unverified.

ℹ️ Submodule pointer change only — not reviewed.

This diff moves a submodule SHA and contains no source changes, so there is nothing here for me to assess. Whether the bump is safe depends on the submodule's commit range, which this diff does not include. Treat this as not reviewed, not as approved.
