Developer toggles

Setting	Effect
Enable in-app ads	Initializes InAppAdCoordinator (placeholder UI; AdMob not linked yet)
Enable in-app purchases	Connects Google Play Billing; placeholder SKU androidcast_premium
Enable Play Store integration	Allows listing intent + in-app review API

Changing a toggle calls CommercialFeatures.refreshFromPreferences().

Before production

1. Create app in Google Play Console and add in-app products matching InAppPurchaseCoordinator.SKU_PREMIUM.
2. Add AdMob App ID to AndroidManifest.xml and replace InAppAdCoordinator placeholder with real ad units.
3. Privacy policy + ads declaration if using ads.
4. Remove or hide developer toggles in release builds (optional BuildConfig.DEBUG guard).
