Research direction

Start with the dependency change in Cargo.toml and the app:cargoBuildArm entry point. Reproduce the reported build and inspect the OpenSSL build output, including the openssl-src path shown in the panic. Done means the Rust library builds successfully for the Android ARM task without the missing-header errors.
