- Updated Android Gradle Plugin, Kotlin version, and various libraries to their latest compatible versions.
- Implemented version catalog (`libs.versions.toml`) for centralized dependency management.
- Added Material Design 3 theme and styles.
- Improved Proguard rules for better code obfuscation and to keep necessary classes.
- Refactored UI layouts and dimensions for consistency with Material Design guidelines.
- Updated audio conversion logic (placeholder, to be replaced with direct OGG recording).
- Added edge-to-edge display handling for a more immersive user experience.
- Implemented proper permission handling for notifications (Android 13+) and audio recording.
- Minor UI improvements and bug fixes in various activities and fragments.
- Removed deprecated `kotlin-android-extensions`.
- Updated `targetSdk` and `compileSdk` to 35.
This commit integrates FFmpeg Kit for handling audio conversion from WAV to OGG format.

Key changes include:
- Removed `ffmpeg-kit-audio` from version catalog and added `mobile-ffmpeg-min-4.4.LTS.aar` directly to the `libs` folder.
- Added `smart-exception-java` dependency for FFmpeg Kit compatibility.
- Updated `RecordAudioActivity.kt` to handle potential failures during audio conversion and display an appropriate error message.
- Added a new string resource `audio_conversion_failed`.
This commit upgrades FFmpegKit to version 6.0-2 and increases the minimum SDK version to 24. It also implements WAV to OGG audio conversion using FFmpegKit, replacing the previous placeholder.

Key changes:
- Updated FFmpegKit library from `mobile-ffmpeg-min-4.4.LTS.aar` to `ffmpeg-kit-full-6.0-2.aar`.
- Increased `minSdk` from 21 to 24 in `libs.versions.toml`.
- Implemented WAV to OGG conversion in `WavToOggConverter.kt` using FFmpeg command `-y -i <input.wav> -c:a libopus -b:a 24k <output.ogg>`.
- Added error handling and logging for the conversion process.
This commit introduces UI improvements focusing on consistency, particularly for dialogs and login screen elements.

Key changes:
- Added new color resources (`text_input_focused`, `text_input_unfocused`, `button_text_primary`, `button_text_secondary`) for better UI contrast.
- Created new styles `LoginTextInputLayoutStyle` and `LoginButtonStyle` in `styles.xml` to improve the visual appearance and consistency of input fields and buttons on the login screen.
- Updated `activity_login.xml` to utilize the new `LoginTextInputLayoutStyle` and `LoginButtonStyle`.
- Introduced a utility function `styleDialogButtons` in `DialogUtils.kt` to apply consistent styling (text color, size, typeface) to positive, negative, and neutral buttons in `AlertDialogs`.
- Refactored `MainActivity.kt`, `DialogUtils.kt`, `CommonDialog.kt`, and `RecordInfoDialog.kt` to use the new `styleDialogButtons` function, ensuring uniform dialog button appearance across the app.
- Adjusted padding and text sizes in `activity_about.xml` for improved layout and readability.
This commit introduces several UI improvements, focusing on dialog styling and crash reporting.

Key changes:
- Added `bg_button_primary.xml` and `bg_button_secondary.xml` for consistent button styling.
- Updated `colors.xml` to refine the gray color.
- Adjusted padding and margins in `activity_settings.xml` for better visual spacing.
- Introduced new styles in `styles.xml` for a custom `CrashDialogTheme`, including specific styles for its title and buttons.
- Updated string resources in `values/strings.xml` for clearer crash report dialog messages and button labels.
- Implemented a utility function `styleDialogButtons` in `DialogUtils.kt` to apply consistent styling to AlertDialog buttons across various dialogs (`UpdateAppDialog.kt`, `AppLanguageDialog.kt`, `RateAppDialog.kt`, `CommonDialog.kt`).
- Updated `Spell4WikiApp.kt` to use the new `CrashDialogTheme` and updated button labels for the crash reporter.

- Created a `getBasicOkHttpClient()` method for non-Wikimedia API calls that includes the User-Agent interceptor.
- Improved error handling in `WiktionarySearchActivity.kt` and `Spell4Wiktionary.kt` to provide more specific error messages for HTTP errors, null response bodies, and API-specific errors.
- Added more detailed logging for API requests and responses, including error messages and stack traces in case of failures.
- Updated string resources to provide more user-friendly error messages (e.g., `result_not_found`, `something_went_wrong_try_again`).
