ANDROID CRYPTO CRASH FIXED, ORLEANS DURABLES GET MAJOR PERF OVERHAUL

Runtime patched a JNI exception bug crashing Android RSA operations on Pixel 6a, while Orleans shipped a three-PR stack that rewires DurableJobs scheduling, journaling, and instrumentation for production scale.

The Android crypto fix [1] eliminates a CheckJNI SIGABRT when System.Security.Cryptography tries to import RSA keys that BoringSSL won't construct, particularly 16384-bit keys on Android 16. This lands alongside a JIT cleanup [2] that removes dead loop assertions and formatting alignment fixes [3] for generated thunk code. On the Orleans front, three interdependent PRs landed addressing the entire DurableJobs pipeline: the foundation improves journaled shard throughput with due-now execution, shard striping, and batched writes [4], while a second PR layers on distributed tracing and batching metrics [5]. A third PR tackles Azure Blob journaling instrumentation and WAL retry tuning [6]. The reminder scheduling fix [7] adds diagnostic events to prevent test races when advancing fake time. These Orleans changes represent the team's push toward production-ready distributed job handling at scale.
