Subject: [PATCH] fix(ios): weak-link SwiftUICore for iOS 26 build (SDK 56)

iOS phone archive failed at Ld: "cannot link directly with 'SwiftUICore' because product being built is not an allowed client of it" (a Liquid Glass / SwiftUI pod pulls SwiftUICore). Add a Podfile config plugin that weak-links SwiftUICore on the app target(s). iOS-only; tvOS unsigned already builds. [unsigned: GPG passphrase unavailable while user away; re-sign on merge]
