[kubaflo]

Resolved and pushed the five conflicts with net11.0 in ordinary merge commit 49f6de1b575, on the original merge/main-to-net11.0 branch. No rebase or force-push.

This incoming branch includes the intentional direct-fixture-launch revert (#39723). Preserved that revert instead of reintroducing direct launch, while retaining net11's independent Android Shell Renderer activation/configuration, gallery-ready-element checks, and corresponding documentation. All five conflicted files now exactly match the current net11 versions. The target's SDK/dependency/bootstrap configuration is also unchanged.

The resulting diff against net11 consists only of the incoming CI-fixer changes; the earlier direct-launch and revert commits cancel out. No additional CI-fixer behavior was edited as part of conflict resolution.

Validation: Android, iOS, WinUI and Mac managed UI-test assemblies compiled with zero warnings/errors, with native target frameworks disabled. All five changed YAML files parsed and git diff --check passed. No pipeline tests were written, and no CI-fixer dispatches, GitHub mutations from those scripts, native UI/device tests or XCTest were executed. YAML parsing is not workflow-semantic or runtime certification; actual workflow execution and native startup remain for CI.
