UI Profiling relies on the Android ProfilingManager, which rate limits profiling requests at the framework level on top of the SDK sampling rate. Document this in the Limitations section and add a callout with the shell command to disable the restrictions for local testing. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Some of the formatting needs adjusting, but once those are done this looks good to go!

Apply reviewer suggestions: inline multi-line Alert/paragraph JSX to fix stray line breaks in rendered output, reword the useProfilingManager description, and fix minor wording and spelling. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

…ling Update the Android profiling docs to match the SDK change where ProfilingManager (Perfetto) is always used on Android 15 (API level 35) and higher, with no opt-in. The legacy tracer-based profiler now runs automatically on older devices, controlled by the new enableLegacyProfiling option (default true, deprecated, removed in the next major). - Replace the useProfilingManager option with enableLegacyProfiling (8.47.0) - Remove use-profiling-manager from onboarding, manual-setup, and profiling examples since Perfetto is now automatic on API 35+ - Reframe UI Profiling and Legacy Profiling pages around automatic backend selection and the legacy fallback - Clarify that app start profiling is only supported by the legacy profiler Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Collapse the rewritten "Looking for the old profiler?" alert onto a single line, matching the inline formatting convention applied to the sibling profiling alerts in PR review, and drop the stray {" "} artifact. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
