Research direction
Start at SaveImageToFileWorker.kt line 40, where the API 27 stack trace shows the MediaStore write failing, and inspect the manifest permission declaration. Reproduce the failure on Android 8.1/API 27; done means the worker can write the image to MediaStore without the reported SecurityException.
