📜 Description

Add a prominent warning to the existing data collection changelog entry that sendDefaultPii will be removed in the next major SDK version.

The warning directs customers to migrate to dataCollection before upgrading while retaining the explanation of current compatibility behavior.

💡 Motivation and Context

Customers using sendDefaultPii need a visible advance notice of its planned removal and a clear migration path.

💚 How did you test it?

  • Ran ./gradlew spotlessApply apiDump
  • Ran git diff --check

📝 Checklist

  • I added GH Issue ID & Linear ID
  • I added tests to verify the changes.
  • No new PII added or SDK only sends newly added PII if sendDefaultPII is enabled.
  • I updated the docs if needed.
  • I updated the wizard if needed.
  • Review from the native team if needed.
  • No breaking change or entry added to the changelog.
  • No breaking change for hybrid SDKs or communicated to hybrid SDKs.
  • Public API changes reviewed by another Mobile SDK team member or implemented according to the develop docs spec.

🔮 Next steps

None.

* build(detekt): Ignore FunctionNaming for Composable functions (#6176)

Compose functions that emit UI are PascalCase by convention, which
detekt's default FunctionNaming pattern flags. Follow detekt's Compose
guide and skip the rule for @composable functions.

Fixes JAVA-748
Fixes #6175

* chore(android): Compile Android modules against Android SDK 37.2 (#6172)

Updates our compile SDK version from 37.0 to 37.2 for all Sentry Android modules, which lays the groundwork for accommodating new MemoryLimiter flags introduced in 37.2.

Introduces a mechanism that lets us support compilation against minor SDK versions for any future release.

* ref(android): Match MemoryLimiter app exit reason introduced in Android 37.2 (JAVA-687) (#6174)

Android 37.2 introduced a new ApplicationExitInfo.REASON_MEMORY_LIMITER flag. This commit updates our MemoryLimiterIntegration code to match against it (while preserving ouro previous matching logic).

No new Android API guard is needed for the new flag because:

 - we already check MemoryLimiterIntegration registration against API 37; and
 - REASON_MEMORY_LIMITER is a static integer constant and will be inlined as an integer by the Java compiler (meaning we don't need extra protection for devices on 37.0 or 37.1).

* build(detekt): Apply remaining Compose guide settings (#6179)

Add the rest of detekt's Compose guide on top of the FunctionNaming
change from #6176. Keep accepting SCREAMING_CASE top-level constants,
because the guide's PascalCase-only pattern would flag every existing
TRACE_ORIGIN-style constant.

* docs: Link Data Collection changelog to guides (#6180)

Replace duplicated configuration details in the 8.58.0 changelog with links to the Android, Java, and Spring Boot documentation while retaining the sendDefaultPii removal warning.

* fix(core): Clear the persisted replay id when resetting the scope cache (#6033)

* fix(core): Clear the persisted replay id when resetting the scope cache

resetCache() clears every other persisted scope value on init but leaves
replay.json in place, so a replay id written by a previous process can
still be attached to events from the current one. The reset already runs
after the integrations that consume those values, so deleting it here is
safe.

* build(detekt): Lint all Kotlin modules (#6178)

* build(detekt): Apply Compose guide and lint all Kotlin modules

Add the remaining settings from detekt's Compose guide. Keep accepting
SCREAMING_CASE top-level constants, because the guide's PascalCase-only
pattern would flag every existing TRACE_ORIGIN-style constant.

sentry-compose had the detekt plugin applied but the task was always
NO-SOURCE, because the default source set is src/main and a
multiplatform module keeps its code in src/androidMain. Point it at the
Android source sets. Also enable detekt in sentry-android-replay, where
it was commented out, and in the Kotlin modules that never applied it.

The newly linted modules have 298 existing findings. Record them in
per-module baselines so check passes and only new issues fail. They can
be fixed in follow-ups.

* build(detekt): Move Compose guide settings to a separate PR

Regenerate the baselines against main's config so this PR doesn't depend
on the config change.
