v0.6.0 — Rebuild Android NSD around explicit ownership and readable flow

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+## [0.6.0] - 2026-09-30
+
+### Changed
+
+- Rebuild the common nearby-network contract around four direct actions: start and stop discovery, plus start and stop advertising.
+- Introduce the new Android `NsdManager` implementation and select it through Android dependency injection. The implementation keeps separate modern and legacy discovery paths, a serialized legacy resolver, and one registration listener for advertising.
+- Simplify the shared network-services controller to start servers once and directly start, stop, or retry nearby sharing without carrying duplicate UI intent/error fields.
+- Derive Send-screen discovery actions from platform-reported discovery status instead of a separate enabled boolean.
+- Split Desktop and iOS discovery/advertising operations to match the new common contract.
+- Prepare Android, Desktop, and iOS packages as `0.6.0`; Android and iOS build numbers are `10`.
+
+### Known limitations
+
+- This release is primarily a developer-ownership and readability rebuild. Normal Android foreground discovery, addition, and removal have been manually observed, but broader lifecycle and failure validation is still pending.
+- Android 17 local-network permission handling is still not implemented.

 Before publishing the final packages, check the grouped Nearby devices header, rows, and footer with zero, one, and multiple devices. Check discovery off, scanning, and failure/retry states; light and dark themes; compact and wide windows; and the intentionally limited empty-state text at larger font sizes. Check media/document selection and adding more files. The shared default surface shape changed, so inspect other screens that use its default corners too.
