Research direction
Investigate the uninstall flow for system apps in AppManager, specifically the logic that determines 'safe to remove' and the actual removal process. Look at files like `Uninstaller.java` or similar. Determine if there is a mechanism to revert the changes or if the launcher crash is a known side effect. Check the issue comments for user's device details and any maintainer responses. Consider reproducing the issue in an emulator with a custom ROM.
