docs(app-store): cover the 1.0.0 feedback paths in the review notes 

A reviewer meeting the new rating prompt will reasonably ask whether it
gates the App Store behind a satisfaction question — guideline 5.6 exists
because that pattern is common. Say up front that it does not: both
channels are offered at once, the App Store button is a plain
?action=write-review link rather than a custom rating UI, and the prompt
can be switched off for good. Same for the composer, which hands a
mailto: to the user's own client and transmits nothing itself.

App Transport Security allows HTTP (NSAllowsArbitraryLoads) because podcast RSS feeds and audio files are third-party and many are served over HTTP; the app must be able to load arbitrary user-chosen URLs.

The app collects no personal data (see the privacy manifest).



New in 1.0.0 — feedback and rating prompt:

The "write to us" screens build a mailto: URL and hand it to the user's mail client. The app transmits nothing itself; the diagnostic lines (version, OS, device model, locale) are shown in the composer and can be edited or deleted before the user sends the message from their own account.

The rating prompt offers both channels at the same time — "write to us" and "rate on the App Store" — and never asks whether the user is satisfied before deciding which one to show, so there is no review gating. The App Store button is a plain link to ?action=write-review, not a custom rating UI. A "don't ask me again" checkbox disables the prompt permanently. On macOS copies distributed outside the Mac App Store (Developer ID), the rating button is hidden because there is nothing to rate.
