Pull request overview
This PR removes the Radioactivity UI theme from the Pocket Casts Android app due to maintenance costs and the theme's obscurity. The changes properly remove all theme-related code while preserving the Radioactivity app icon, as intended. Users currently using the Radioactivity theme will automatically fall back to the default dark theme on update.
Changes:
- Removed Radioactivity theme from theme generation scripts, XML resources, and Kotlin code
- Removed theme-specific UI logic from Compose components and features
- Removed RadioactiveLineView usage from MainActivity
- Updated CHANGELOG.md with the removal
