Research direction

The payload names no files, tests or entry points. Start by reading CONTRIBUTING.md and how the existing keyboard layouts are defined in the Kotlin Android codebase. The request is vague: it does not say whether to add a layout only or a full bopomofo input engine, nor which dictionary source to use. Done means a maintainer has agreed on that scope and a layout or engine change is merged.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
