Pin RethinkDNS as always-on VPN, the layer that reaches every app
Hiding the YouTube package stops the app. It does nothing about
youtube.com in Firefox, in a webview, or in any client nobody has
enumerated. This is that layer.

setAlwaysOnVpnPackage from the device owner is not the mechanism that
failed on 2026-08-09 -- that was `settings put secure always_on_vpn_app`,
which writes successfully, survives a reboot, and is ignored by
VpnManager. The DPM call takes effect: dumpsys now reports
mAlwaysOnVpnPackage=com.celzero.bravedns.

Lockdown stays off. It drops all traffic whenever the tunnel is down,
and the wipe checklist names it together with the DISALLOW_*
restrictions as the combination most likely to leave an unrecoverable
device. DISALLOW_CONFIG_VPN is deferred for the same reason: locking VPN
configuration before the filter is confirmed working would pin a broken
setup in place.

The exporter emits always_on_vpn_package only when the provider is also
in never_disable_prefixes, and RethinkDNS was added there. Pinning a
package the sweep can hide is the worst case -- the restriction would
point at a hidden app and cost general connectivity, not just the
filter. The pin is re-asserted every pass and, unlike the uninstall
block, does not track the decision: the network filter must not lift
when the geofence says AWAY.

releaseDeviceOwner now unpins the VPN and clears the restriction before
clearing ownership, for the same reason it already unblocked uninstall.

Not yet active, and the commit does not pretend otherwise: the tunnel
needs a one-time in-app VPN consent tap that adb cannot grant, and
RethinkDNS is at first-run state because its wildcard rules live in
app-private storage that the backup never reached. They have to be
re-entered by hand.
